GLPA recognized the need for immediate testing in line with our mission to protect the lake. However, they pointed out their yearly budget did not include any funds for testing. GLIB was sympathetic to concerns and agreed with the need for testing to determine the extent to which concerns were legitimate based on data. GLIB is the sole invasive weed treatment assessment authority, funder, and treatment executor.
GLPA had prior discussions with Gun Lake Improvement Board on this matter. Following GLPA annual meeting last August member concerns were expressed regarding effects of copper retention in lake sediment from invasive weed treatment with copper sulfate based products.
