Dear Jim:
Enclosed, as we discussed, is the application for the Hennepin Conservation District grant
which offers funding for the treatment of Eurasian milfoil. They would prefer that the
official applicant be the City of Shorewood rather than our homeowners association.
Christmas Lake has had two one acre treatments up to this point and will possibly need a
third in August/September. We also, as referenced in the application have a fairly aggressive
preventative program in place.
As I mentioned, Jim, I will be more than willing to serve as the contact person for the
logistics of managing this grant, should it be awarded.
The enclosed application needs to arrive at the Hennepin Conservation District no later than
Aujtllst IS. Thank you! The City of Shorewood has been tremendously supportive in the
effort to eradicate and control the infestation of Eurasian milfoil in Christmas Lake.
Please send to:
