Project Updates!
As of the end of week 7 there are ~16,8002 feet of mats on the bottom in 15 locations along the southern shore of Eagle Lake. This equates to just less than 4/10 of an acre. In addition 87 bags of milfoil have been removed for the lake, weighing ~5,200lbs. Weekly summaries will be coming shortly.
