PUBLIC NOTICE
The Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District (MLIRD) is the recipient of an Aquatic Plant Plan Grant from the State of Washington, Department of Ecology. The purpose of the Grant is to study, map and manage noxious weeds that are a detriment to the recreational and aesthetic values of Moses Lake.
The goal of the project is to protect the waters, shorelines, wetlands, and aquatic plant communities of Moses Lake from invasive non-native freshwater plants, and develop an integrated aquatic plant management plan that will target Eurasian and hybrid milfoil, and other noxious weeds. Alternatives to current weed harvesting activities including dredging, installing bottom barriers, manual methods and aquatic herbicides will be reviewed. The suitability of each method for use in Moses Lake will be evaluated, including impacts on fish and wildlife, water quality, and other environmental parameters.
MLIRD is holding an open meeting January 27, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. at the Moses Lake Fire Department, 701 E. Third, Moses Lake, WA. MLIRD cordially invites the public to attend.
