From Pam Hebert -
The final report from Aquatic Concerns, the divers, who surveyed Joe's Pond on August 28th concluded that no Eurasian milfoil is present at this time. They did identify elodea, fan wart, bladder wart and a noninvasive form of milfoil (Northern). These aquatic plants were also found in their 2005 survey.
They noted that in comparison to our 2005 survey , visibility on a vertical level has decreased (from 5 feet +/- to 4 feet +/-) As reported in 2005 the water color is consistent with ''brown tea'' and most areas consist of 4" +/- silt.
The aquatic plants found in Joe's Pond are not a threat and no new plant species have been identified. We thank Shane Wheeler and his team of divers for a job well done.
