Eurasian Watermilfoil Management Denied Again
The DNR has denied the Eurasian watermilfoil management plan again. The letter dated June 24, 2025, stated:
“The Department has reviewed your application to chemically treat 234.90 acres of aquatic vegetation in Half Moon Lake in Polk County. After careful consideration, your permit application does not meet the minimum requirements by law.
This decision is consistent with conversations the Department has had with Half Moon Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District. Department staff provided comments regarding application of Fluridone to Half Moon Lake and alternative considerations for Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM) management on Half Moon Lake on January 15th and February 24th of 2025.”
The board will meet again soon to determine next steps.
