The Mirror Lake Management District

Request for public comments regarding Aquatic Plant Management Plan Update

June 2025

The Mirror Lake Management District (MLMD) contracted with Onterra, LLC in June 2024 to assist the MLMD with updating the Aquatic Plant Management Plan which is a sub-set of the Mirror Lake Comprehensive Management Plan, that was drafted and approved in 2014. Onterra is the company that originally assisted the MLMD with creating both plans.

As required by the WI DNR, the Aquatic Plant Management Plan must be updated every five years to coincide with the application for a Mechanical/Manual Aquatic Plant Control Permit for the MLMD to operate their harvesting program in Mirror Lake. Since 2012 Onterra has performed three plant surveys of the lake to fulfill that requirement – in 2012, 2019 and the current one in 2024.

As a requirement for the permit, the plan must be available to the public for review and to allow for people to make comments. Only written comments will be accepted and taken up by the MLMD. The link will be available starting June 2 and will remain up for 21 days. All written comments on the plan must be sent to [email protected]. Any non-written comments or comments sent to another address will not be considered.
