Abstract
Abstract : Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.) has the potential to cause major long- term adverse environmental, recreational, and aesthetic impacts to the pristine lakes in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. At the request of the U.S. Army Engineer District, Detroit, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center evaluated 16 lakes in Gogebic County, first to verify if Eurasian watermilfoil was present in the lakes, and then to recommend spot-treatment control options for pioneer infestation of the exotic species. Surveys were conducted using a sampling grid and global positioning system method. Of the lakes surveyed, only two contained small infestations of Eurasian watermilfoil. Occurrences of rare, threatened, or endangered aquatic plants were documented during the lake evaluations.
