Cedar Lake AIS Treatment 2025

Cedar Lake Property Owners:

The Cedar Lake Conservation Club (CLCC) plans to treat curly leaf pondweed and eurasian water milfoil, both aquatic invasive species/nuisance species, in Cedar Lake in 2025. Additionally, if starry stonewort, an aquatic invasive species, is discovered, treatment will be conducted.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is planning to provide to the CLCC a waiver of the requirements that the Association obtain signatures of approval by owners of lakeshore property. Instead, the CLCC will notify property owners of the treatment through the:

• CLCC newsletter which is mailed to all residents of Cedar Lake.
• CLCC website www.cedarlakecc.org.
• Annandale Advocate and Maple Lake Messenger (local weekly newspapers).

Regarding the 2025 treatment: 

• The proposed timeline for treatment is May – October.
• The target species for the treatment is curly leaf pondweed (CLP), eurasian water milfoil (EWM), and starry stonewort (SSW) if discovered. 
• The products being used are aquatic herbicides and/or harvesting methods appropriate to control CLP and EWM, and SSW if discovered. Chemicals that are anticipated to be used are: CLP-diquat, EWM-ProcellaCOR, SSW (if discovered)-copper sulfate.
• If the landowner does NOT want treatment to occur adjacent to the landowner’s property:
