Weed Removal Option and Water Updates

Mike Stankevitz spoke with Darren Kramer, Fisheries Unit Supervisor for the Northern Lake Michigan Management Unit.

The County and State do not support weed removal, and any route requires an accompanying lake study, permit, and other hurdles that require financial expenditures. 

​

The association feels it has exhausted many of the efforts or research required to control weed growth on the lake without much success. Members are encouraged to continue independent research on options available to stakeholders, with the ability to bring actionable plans for the association to vote on.
