Proposed
Proposed work because conditions may change. If the plan calls for treating three acres and the treatment this year was very successful., next year may only need one acre. DES, working with local groups develops the plan, but if there is chemical treatment involved, Dept of Agriculture has the approval authority. Yes, funding is a chore. Last I heard from the Exotic Aquatic Weeds and Species Committee, a one time infusion of $7 million would be necessary to really knock these problems down. We're trying to do it with several hundred thousand a year. Bless the volunteers that make this money go a long way.
