Lake Management Plan

In 2010, the Lipsett Lake Association approved our first aquatic plant management plan (APM).  Every 5 or so years, it is necessary to update the APM to keep it current.  The current Lipsett Lake APM can be found at this link (http://burnettcounty.com/index.aspx?NID=1120).  It contains a wealth of information about Lipsett Lake, so please feel free to read through it at your leisure.   
On Saturday, August 11, members of the Lipsett Lake Management Committee met with Becca Klemme, the current aquatic invasive specialist for Burnett County and Brad Morris, the former AIS specialist who did much of the heavy lifting with the development of our APM in 2010.  The committee focused on recommending updates to the Plan Goals and Strategies section that begins on p. 47 and runs through p. 58.  Keeping the APM current is necessary because if we ever wanted to do management on the curly leaf pondweed in our lake or on native aquatic plants for navigational purposes you would need an APM.  Similarly,  if we ever needed a rapid response grant or any other surface water grant, the APM will be helpful to in receiving these grant monies.  The The Lake Management Committee will keep everyone in the association informed as the updating process continues.
