Enivonmental Board <br />November 28, 2018 <br />Page 3 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br />4) How should we manage the carp: <br /> <br />o Standard for determining good management: effective, efficient, <br />and reliable. <br />o Use population modeling to predict what type of management <br />solutions. <br />o Management Solutions: <br /> The removal of 50% of adult carp population (not reliable) <br /> Suppression of juvenile carp (not effective or efficient) <br /> Baited boxes and netting (using corn). This was used to remove <br />adult carp. (Effective & reliable; somewhat efficient). <br /> Low-Voltage Barrier/Guidance System: <br />o Removes carp and suppresses recruitment. <br />o New system PROCOM NEPTUN <br />o This system is mobile, also cheap to employ <br />o System repels or guides carp. Debris in water is also able to pass <br />through the electrodes system. <br />o Applying the management standards to this system: <br /> Effective- Yes <br /> Efficient- Yes <br /> Reliable- so far it has been reliable. The true test will be if <br />the system can remove 50% of adult carp per year and <br />suppress 50% of juveniles per year. <br /> <br />V. Question from the Board and Environmental Coordinator on Study: <br /> <br />o Mr. Asleson: How will the Low-Voltage Barrier/Guidance System affect <br />canoeist and the ability for them to portage to different lakes? <br />Answer: The interaction between a canoeist and the system is more likely to <br />result in the system’s materials being damage and not the injury of the <br />individual. <br />o Mr. Asleson: Do you run the system barriers 24/7? <br />Answer: No, the system is only on a few months out of the year. There are <br />also signs posted informing the public if the system is on or off. <br />o Mr. Asleson: Is TDL factored into your management plan? <br />Answer: Yes <br />o Mr. Sullivan: What is the quality of the water flowing into the north side of <br />Peltier Lake? <br />Answer: No good. There needs to be improve quality of the two tributaries <br />that flow into Peltier. <br /> <br />B. 2018 Goals Review/Discuss Goals for 2019 <br />
