Nilan Reservoir Eurasian Watermilfoil Control Project - Draft EA

Jul 6, 2022 10:25 AM

The department will initiate control of Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM) (Myriophyllum spicatum) with the goal to eradicate this newly discovered population. This is a highly invasive aquatic plant, and this is the first detection of EWM in this basin. Montana has limited populations of this species so management of this species and population is prudent to prevent further spread into other nearby waters. This is the only occurrence of EWM in the area and eradication is a high priority to prevent further spread.
