Notice To Rice Lake Property Owners and Lake Users:
As part of its ongoing effort to preserve and improve the water quality of Rice Lake, Surfside Seaplane Base will be contracting with a vendor to treat aquatic invasive plants in 2026. We wish to keep all of you well informed, and this is notice that we will be treating various areas of Rice Lake for curly leaf pondweed (CLP) in the May time period in 2026.
The treatment is for curly leaf pondweed which is an invasive plant that grows in the spring and early summer. The objective of the curly leaf pondweed treatment program is to treat the heaviest growth of CLP to improve the water quality and recreational use of the lake. Planned treatment sites are in front of the seaplane base and will be approved by the DNR if they are 150 offshore feet or more. If the approved treatment sites are within 150 feet of your property, you can provide the following:
If you desire that the treatment not occur adjacent to your property (within 150 feet from shore), please notify Dan Kedrowski immediately either via phone or email.
The DNR requires us to notify property owners of the treatment with this letter. The treatment methods will follow Department of Natural Resource guidelines and permit.
