Loon Lake Hybrid Eurasian Water Milfoil

By Lee Evans LMD Chair

 

Our Hybrid Eurasian Water Milfoil spreads when a fragment of the plant breaks off and floats on the lake surface. It floats until the roots form and are heavy enough to sink to the lake bottom in water depths usually between 2 and 20 feet. The plant needs sunlight to grow. This tiny fragment can be as small as one tenth of an inch then becomes a new mother plant. Once rooted it sends out shoots starting a new colony of milfoil. The new plant will in turn fragment continuing the process over and over. The Washington State Dept. of Ecology and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have published a brochure stating, “One single plant can multiply into 250 million new plants in one year.” Not an exaggeration. Please do not drag rake or pull this plant. These actions usually do more harm than good as fragmentation occurs so easily. 

The Loon Lake Aquatic invasive species program is run by the Stevens County Commissioner’s office who appointed an advisory committee comprised of Loon Lake residents. Our committee meets at the Loon Lake Fire Station at 6:30pm on the second Monday of each month   April through October. Our goal is to manage the process of controlling the two invasive plants Milfoil and Curly Pond Weed for all Loon Lake residents. The public is welcome, and we encouraged their attendance and input. 

Aquatechnex has been the vendor we have used for the past several years. They are certified, experienced and at the forefront of the best scientific practices for successfully meeting Loon Lake’s unique needs.
