2020 and 2021 Green Lake Curly Pond Leaf Control Treatment
Green Lake was recently issued permission to use CPL invasive species herbicide Diquate for 50.5 acres. What does this mean? Diquate is far more effective than treatments we've been allowed to use in the past. It's able to kill the Curly Pond Leaf and Eurasian Watermilfoil for a 2 for 1 effect with less chemicals going in to the lake.

Green Lake Improvement District Purpose
Green Lake Improvement District (GLID) was incorporated as a non‐profit organization on July 1, 2001. It functions with an elected board and exists as a local government body under Isanti County. Information is disseminated to lake property owners and the general public via emailings and through the web site: http://www.greenlakemnid.com/news.php.
The GLID was initially formed to take over the ownership and operation of a water control structure at the confluence of Green Lake Brook and the Rum River. This mission has since been expanded to include the protection and improvement of Green Lake and its watershed.

Weed Control Around Your Docks
Green Lake home owners can help reduce nutrient loading in the lake by removing weeds from the lake.
Also, using lake shoreline best management practices reduces nutrient runoff into the lake.
If you are a lakeshore property owner who wants to maintain a swimming or boat-docking area, you may cut or pull submerged vegetation without a DNR permit under certain conditions:
• First, the area to be cleared must be no larger than 2,500 square feet.
• Second, the cleared area must not extend more than 50 feet along the shoreline
HIRING LAKE WEED TREATMENT
Lake treatment for CLP in 2020 was done by Lake Restoration, located in Rogers, MN.
Lake Restoration and other companies are available to help treat weeds and muck around your dock.
