Comments | Observed by a local west metro fish spec. and said the plant was "well established". Is used by a waterski club and the city of Shakopee parkland. This water is also part of the outlet drainage system from (infested) Lower Prior Lake to the Minnesota River, but no reports yet of other basins in this system (Deans Lake, Jeffers Pond) have EWM infestations. Taylor Polomis (MN DNR Fisheries) also confirms EWM is well-established in this quarry when collecting water samples on June 20, 2016.; EDDMapS report |
