Description Plan and Manage the Removal of Invasive Aquatic Plants: Applicants are expected to present an application proposal to manually control invasive aquatic plants in known infested Maine water bodies with the objectives of reducing the likelihood of spread to other waters, limiting the impact on natural habitat and human use of the water body, and maintaining property values. Applicants should identify clear goals, utilize proven and effective methods, indicate the likelihood of long-term success and include a plan for monitoring effectiveness of removal efforts. Reviewers consider feasibility of project success, the potential for achieving long-term reduction of the infestation and the clarity in explanation of grant expenditures. The following are eligible activities to achieving the objectives: 1. Manual plant control techniques such as placement of benthic barriers, plant removal by hand, and plant removal by hand with suction dredge (i.e., Diver Assisted Suction Harvest or DASH). 2. Plant surveys directly related to removal efforts, i.e., surveying infested areas prior to and/or after removal, if needed to focus removal efforts or monitor efficacy. 3. Surface Support directly related to the removal operation. The application must show how these expenses are integral to the removal operation. 4. Other expenses directly related to invasive aquatic plant removal.
