Balance SheetRice Lake Area Association

May 1, 2011


Treasurer ReportRLAA 2011

For the fiscal year starting 5/1/2010 – 5/1/2011 the Rice Lake Area Association collected $5,100 in member dues. Contribution rates of $125 for members with water access and $60 for members with views continued from 2009. Our member dues were about $1100 less than amount collect from the prior year.

Last year (2010) we spent about $1100 more than we collected.

Starting the year for 2011 we have roughly $8,320 in the bank. We would like to build our balance sheet in a positive manner. To accomplish this task we need to continue our efforts on getting new paying members.

Our database has about 250 addresses! With an average of 50 paying members the past three years. We also have over 100 e-mail addresses in our database!

Our goals should include increasing our membership in 2011 along with setting a target of collecting $6000 in overall dues.

Our projected expenses include the following for 2011:

Dredge Boat Channel $6,000 with $1,500 being reimbursed by the cityCarp/Bullhead removal $7,000 with $3,500 being reimbursed by the cityMisc $400Annual meeting $300No wake signs $400

Lake Quality Concern: “Algae Growth”Lake Quality Concern: “Algae Growth”• Aquatic Plant Survey Summary:

– BAD WEEDS• Curlyleaf Pondweed

– Currently under control, but need to keep an eye on annual growth, particularly along the shoreline

• Eurasian Water Milfoil– Found in only 1 of 41 stations in 2009– Not considered to be an issue in Rice Lake

– GOOD WEEDS• Coontail

– Increasing recently, but still lagging behind• Other Native Plants

– Limited due to poor water clarity and fish effects may be inhibiting sprouting of new plants

– Carp Enclosure project demonstrated that many native plants can survive in our lake

• Fish Population update: – Fish population is still out of balance

• More predator fish is desirable

– Undesirable fish population – very high• Bullheads• Carp

– Working with commercial fisherman to reduce/remove carp for positive water quality impact

• Conclusion:– Algae Growth is largely due to the Carp and Bullheads

over population which stir up the existing phosphorus in the lake sediments resulting in Algae Blooms. Algae shadows the sun from native plants inhibiting their growth.

Drawdown Overview Drawdown Overview • Drawdowns are the practice of lowering the level of the water body to

address specific issues, such as non-native plant growth, access to below surface (lake bottom), or reducing the surface area to attack a specific problem (i.e.: netting non-native fish).

– Drawdowns have been conducted on Rice Lake in the past to specifically address unwanted Curlyleaf Pondweed (CLP) growth.

• CLP dominates over all other vegetation by growing early under the ice during the winter and shading out other vegetation.

• Since CLP is not common to this climate, it is been found that exposing the seedbeds to the winter elements will kill out the seeds from reproducing.

– Benefits of drawdowns include:• Minimum cost impact – Cost for DNR permit ($250 in 2005).• Minimum resource impact - lower the dam in the fall; raise it in the spring.• Not harmful to other aquatic plant or fish life when winter aeration is done.• Opportunity to clean up shoreline.

– Negative impacts of drawdowns include:• Loss of ice coverage surface area.• Possible waiting period before native plants regain normal growth patterns.

– Drawdowns on Rice Lake have been done 4 times in the past in 1998-99, 1999-2000, 2002-2003, 2004-2005 with the last drawdown proving to be the most effective in reducing CLP growth.

Drawdown Overview (cont.) Drawdown Overview (cont.) • Q & A about Drawdowns

1. Will Rice Lake be conducting any future drawdowns?• It depends if CLP becomes a problem again. We have seen some instances

of CLP growth along the shoreline increasing the past 2 years. If the 2011 season demonstrates growth up to a nuisance point, another drawdown may be requested.

2. What are the steps to conduct a drawdown?• Residents inform RLAA board of CLP sightings.• An accepted Aquatic Plant Survey must be conducted to justify the need.• The RLAA Board of Directors must obtain written permission from at least

75% of the homeowners who have shoreline property (creek & lake).• RLAA request permission for drawdown from the City of Maple Grove.• After City grants permission, must get DNR Permit to conduct drawdown.• City works with RLAA to manage the drawdown effort.

3. Do the experts recommend conducting drawdowns?• Yes, each of our consulting residents, as well as key contacts at Three Rivers Parks

District all advocate a drawdown as a way of controlling non-native plant growth.

4. Can a drawdown be done to get rid of algae?• No, the DNR will not permit a drawdown for an algae (or any ‘Nutrient’) removal. They

typically only grant a permit for vegetation removal or excavation to the lake bottom.

2010 Postponed Projects 2010 Postponed Projects • These projects were planned for the winter of 2010-2011 and were postponed/withdrawn for various

reasons:

– Carp Removal Project• Objective: Remove carp from the lake to help improve water quality• How the project would be completed

– Commercial fisherman obtain a DNR permit to net carp– Commercial fisherman obtain certificate of insurance releasing City of Maple Grove liability– City Parks Department grant access point at Glacier Lane cul-de-sac– RLAA clear area for staged fish removal during late fall– Commercial fisherman remove fish during winter months (ice in)– RLAA restore Glacier Lane access point with recommended plantings

• Reason why the project was not completed– Unable to secure a contract with the commercial fisherman– Without contract from commercial fisherman, RLAA was reluctant to invest time and dollars into setting up and restoring a

temporary access point on Maple Grove Parks property.

• Next Steps– Compare notes with another near-metro area lake undergoing a similar fish removal project with the same commercial fisherman

this year– Plan to require a contract from commercial fisherman before work is done– Conduct the fish removal in winter of 2011-2012 if contract is secured

2010 Postponed Projects (cont.)2010 Postponed Projects (cont.)• Boat ramp Dredging project

Objective: Deepen the channel between the boat ramp bay and main lake which has filled in with sediment from both the main lake (wind) and 2 large City storm drains (east side of bay)

– Reason why the project was not completed• Unable to obtain 100% of adjacent homeowner’s consent to dredge channel

– Homeowners own the lake bottom extending out from their land-based properties. They need to approve any actions along that lake bottom.

– DNR owns the water rights to permit the dredging operations/ need to grant a permit• Unable to secure DNR permit• Without the DNR Permit we were unable to have City conduct the dredging

2010 Completed Projects2010 Completed Projects• Carp Enclosure Project by FSS

– Total Cost = $4,250 • No shared cost with the City (missed cut-off submission date)• Locations:

– Bay by Ramp, – Tristan Bay, – Arboretum Park

– Summary – Absence of rough fish (primarily carp) allows native plant growth. Vegetation can survive if the rough fish are removed.

– We all need to understand that by increasing vegetation and reducing algae levels, we will shift the balance of the lake to a more “weedy” lake.

– Which is better?• Low algae with high vegetation• High algae with low vegetation

2010 Completed Projects (cont.)2010 Completed Projects (cont.)• Zooplankton Study by FSS

– Total Cost = $975 • RLAA Cost = $475, City Cost = $500

– Objective - Determine if there is sufficient presence of zooplankton to support a game fish population by tracking seasonal changes in biomass.

– Summary – There is a sufficient presence of zooplankton suitable to support game fish, mostly bluegill and crappie species. However, there was a higher than normal population of zooplankton later in the season, suggesting that poor water clarity prevented the game fish present from feeding as frequently/robustly as we would expect.

– Next steps will be to possibly conduct another study once the conditions of the lake are changed (i.e.: Carp removal).

• Dues do not cover the cost ($9,000+ in 2008)

• Only lasts a few weeks

• Not a long term solution

• How do Carp impact the water? – Carp are bottom feeders that eat vegetation

• Intake sediment as they search for food– Export nutrients by filtering through their gills

• Dig up rooted plants

– As vegetation is eliminated, water clarity is reduced by a surplus of nutrients without any absorption.

– Nutrients have no where to go and become algae

– Keep the street drains clear of debris• Storm water run-off contributes a significant amount of

nutrients
