THE D.N.R.

RECEIVED A REPORT OF SUSPECTED STARRY STONEWORT IN POKEGAMA LAKE FROM ITASCA COUNTY STAFF.

SPECIALISTS FROM ITASCA COUNTY AND THE D.N.R.

FOUND STARRY STONEWORT INTERSPERSED WITH NATIVE PLANTS ON AND AROUND A BOAT RAMP ON THE SOUTHWEST END OF THE LAKE.

STARRY STONEWORT HAS NEVER BEEN ERADICATED FROM ANY U.S. LAKE OR RIVER BUT TREATMENT OR CAREFUL REMOVAL CAN HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF SPREAD AND RELIEVE ASSOCIATED NUISANCE IMPACTS ON WATER-RELATED RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES.
