Summary
Staff cited a University of Minnesota Carp Management Effectiveness Assessment relevant to local planning and scheduled a spring channel and weir inspection for April 15 at 9:00 a.m., when the Lake Ellen weir will be opened.
LID staff told the board that the University of Minnesota has published a Carp Management Effectiveness Assessment suggesting carp-management benefits are most meaningful in shallow lakes that are already near state water-quality standards. The assessment was presented as context for the board's local carp-control planning.
Staff also announced a spring channel and weir inspection scheduled for April 15 at 9:00 a.m., during which the Lake Ellen weir will be opened. The inspection is intended to assess channel conditions and inform any carp-management or engineering decisions tied to upcoming construction.
