2014 WICOLA Priorities

At their Septemter 9 meeting, your WICOLA Board prioritized the major KWPP implementation actions. These priorities will be the focus of your board throughout 2014:

• Continue summer water monitoring in the WICOL; support Brich and Fall Lakes to field teams of water monitors.
• Take next steps recommended for more information about possible areas of potential non compliant septic systems; Complete the Community Assessment Surveys on at least one of the areas identified by KWPP.
• Promote Shoreline Best Management Practices (BMP's) throughout the Chain; provide educational resources.
• Continue to aggressively act to slow the spread of Rusty Crayfish and other Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). Join Lake County SWCD in grant efforts to prevent the spread of Rusties into the BWCAW.
