Meeting proceedings will be disseminated to the Task Force distribution list and uploaded to the Task Force website: David Lattuca reviewed the Task Force meeting proceedings from 9/14/2016. No comments were announced.
2 Public Comment Period Paul Gray mentioned to the group that there has been Melaleuca quinquenervia sightings in the area of the Northwest Marsh, Lake Okeechobee. Mike Bodle informed Paul Gray that the SFWMD receives funding for Melaleuca control for Lake Okeechobee. Mike Bodle advises that anyone who has locations/coordinates of Melaleuca, pass along the information to Ellen Allen (SFWMD). Mike Bodle mentioned that he has been in contact with Ashley Tripp (Belle Glade) in regards to prescribe burning on Lake Okeechobee in the vicinity of the Southern Islands. David Lattuca informed the group that the Lake Okeechobee Fire Management Technical Sub-committee had a meeting on October 3 rd, at the FWC Field Office in Okeechobee. A summary of that meeting can be found by contacting Brent Bachelder (FWC). FWC Status Report Susanna Toledo reported that 4322 acres of floating plants (Eichhornia crassipes & Pistia stratiotes) were treated on Lake Okeechobee since the last Task Force meeting on 9/14/2016. This included a 2000 acre aerial treatment. Oxycaryum cubense, Luziola subintegra, Hymenachne amplexicaulis & Nymphoides cristata were also treated. Currently, FWC is utilizing Applied Aquatic Management, Aquatic Vegetation Control, and Lake and Wetland Management. AMM and AVC report to Susanna Toledo. Weekly Schedule of Operations are created by FWC, and then shared with USACE. USACE then shares the Schedule of Operations on the USACE District website and the Task Force Website Libby Maxwell (SFWMD) mentioned that there could be a good story for a press release in regards to the management of invasive species on Lake Okeechobee. David Lattuca said he will work with USACE s Corporate Communication Office (CCO) Erica Skolte and her partners with the SFWMD and FWC in creating a story for a news release, which will highlight the Task Force.

5 USACE David Lattuca informed the group that the Removal of Aquatic Growth (RAG) Cooperative Agreement DACW H-0020 between USACE and FWC is working well. David Lattuca has been pleased with Susanna Toledo s and Alex Onisko s management of invasive species on Lake Okeechobee. David Lattuca shared with the group that he has been satisfied with Applied Aquatic Management (AAM), Aquatic Vegetation Control (AVC), & Lake and Wetland Management applicators effort on Lake Okeechobee. Susanna Toledo mentioned that the applicators have been very proactive at seeking out and sharing locations of additional invasive species while out treating invasive floating plants. USACE continues working with USDA-ARS to conduct releases of Megamelus scutellaris, a biocontrol agent for Water Hyacinth. Dr. Minteer has a new position with the University of Florida, which will continue work on the biological control of invasive weeds. Her new is c.minteerkillian@ufl.edu. USDA-ARS will continue to rear and release Megamelus. A monthly release schedule has been set for Lake Okeechobee. David Lattuca presented to the Task Force the Invasive Species Management (ISM) Branch, Removal of Aquatic Growth (RAG) Project FY16 Annual Report (Attachment #1). The report was created in order to summarize the RAG Project for Lake Okeechobee and the Okeechobee Waterway during FY6 (October 1 st, 2015 September 30 th, 2016). The project tracking was for Water Hyacinth, Water Lettuce, and Tussocks treated throughout Lake Okeechobee, Caloosahatchee River, and Lake Hicpochee. The data was derived from FWC s PMARS system. The USACE annual report may differ from FWC s project tracking. David Lattuca urged the Task Force to help invite new members and assist with scientific presentations, so that all managers will be able to benefit the overall ecological health of Lake Okeechobee. The Task Force discussed improving and performing maintenance at the 28 Kiosks surrounding Lake Okeechobee. It was agreed that many of the Kiosks need maintenance, to include covers to protect the notices from the weather. FWC Brent Bachelder spoke briefly on the Cowbone Marsh Restoration Project. Cowbone Marsh is an approximately 2,500 acre relatively ovoid freshwater marsh system that is located between open flow way portions of Fisheating Creek in central Glades County and is contained within the 40- mile long 18,272-acre Fisheating Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA). The Marsh transects Fisheating Creek 8 miles upstream of the Creek s mouth at the western shore of Lake Okeechobee. The Marsh is located approximately 6 miles east of US27 and 6 miles west of SR78 near Lakeport. The Marsh is approximately three times wider than the Fisheating Creek flow way corridor, and is about 3 miles in length. It is bordered by a cypress slough system upstream, and an open grassy alluvial system characterized by oxbows downstream. Brent Bachelder suggested that the group become familiar with the history of Cowbone Marsh and the possible effects that restoration might have on the Lake Okeechobee Task Force as it pertains to aquatic plant management. Currently the Cowbone Restoration is in litigation. Brent Bachelder wanted more information on the Glades County Moore Haven Canal Project. Libby Pigman (SFWMD) passed along a project report that included maps and technical drawings to the Task Force. Currently the contractor is on site, working on the project. The Moore Haven Canal is closed from Moore Haven Rim Canal to the Monkey Box. Further questions can be forwarded to Rod Braun (SFWMD) or Paul Carlisle (Glades County).
6 FWC is accepting Aquatic Habitat Restoration/Enhancement Subsection (AHRE) funding applications. AHRE Subsection is responsible for managing, enhancing, and preserving aquatic habitat in Florida for the long-term well-being of fish and aquatic wildlife and the benefit of the people of Florida. The deadline for the application is December 15 th, Questions about the application can be forwarded to Brent Bachelder. Brent Bachelder gave a Snail Kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis) update. From the October 31 st Okeechobee Snail Kite update, of the 41 nests that were active at the end of September, 13 are still active and 14 were successful. There have also been 23 new nests discovered since the hurricane. One new nest is between S-129 and Indian Prairie Canal and the rest are in the Moonshine Bay treatment areas. There are currently 23 active nests on Lake Okeechobee since the beginning of November. Brent Bachelder and Tyler Beck presented on Snail Kite nesting on Lake Okeechobee at the Snail Kite Coordinating Committee meeting on 10/13/2016. The presentation outlined that there was a unique nesting event on Lake Okeechobee where there was treated cattails. Moonshine Bay went from Eleocharis to cattail between 1972 and During May 2015, the cattail was treated in the Moonshine Marsh area. Then the treated cattail was burned with prescribed fire. These areas are 90% open water now (2016), willow clumps were not sprayed. Kite nests started getting heavy in July through September nest in willows mostly. Tyler gave SNKI nesting numbers as of the meeting but nesting continued. Most recent numbers (as of Nov 1) are 160 successful nests out of 230 total nests on Okeechobee. Of those, the Moonshine Bay area had 89 successful nests of 111 total nests. 23 nests are still active (all but 1 in Moonshine Bay). Brent Bachelder will be presenting on Lake Okeechobee Snail Kite nesting at the Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration meeting in April at Coral Springs, FL. Brent Bachelder spoke about the completed Spring 2016 emergent aerial treatments. FWC was able to aerially treat 2742 acres of Cattail (Typha sp.), 112 acres of Phragmites, and 225 acres of Torpedograss (Panicum repens), from Moonshine Bay up to and along the Kissimmee River. FWC utilized the herbicide Clearcast (Imazamox) at 32oz/acre to treat cattail. This was applied in order to reduce non-target damage. The herbicide was slow acting, but was successful in controlling the cattail. FWC utilized the herbicides Glyphosate and Imazapyr mix to control the Phragmites. FWC also used the Imazapyr/Glyphosate mix to control the Torpedo Grass. Brent Bachelder spoke on behalf of the Lake Okeechobee Fire Management Technical Sub- Committee. A DRAFT Lake Okeechobee Rx Burn Units map was shared with the Task Force (Attachment #2). The potential upcoming burn units are connected along with the previously treated Spring 2016 Herbicide Treatments. The proposed prescribed burns will take place when the wind and weather conditions permit. Additional proposed prescribed burns are also planned for the Southern Islands of Lake Okeechobee. The Fire Management Team had questions in regards to USACE fire disking operations. David Lattuca will coordinate disking operations with the Questions can be forwarded to Brent Bachelder. Alex Onisko presented on Scleria lacustris and Scleria microcarpa (Attachment #3). The lacustris species was recently discovered and treated in the Western Marsh of Lake Okeechobee. The microcarpa species was recently discovered in Lake Hatchineha (Attachment #4). Alex Onisko gave a presentation on how to properly identify Scleria and differentiate between the two species. Further questions can be forwarded to Alex Onisko. Susanna Toledo informed the Task Force that Lee County Hyacinth Control District (LCHCD) offered to help FWC manage invasive species in Lake Hicpochee. LCHCD will utilize both herbicide applications and use their mini-harvester. FWC and LCHCD will work together, in order to formulate a plan to manage the invasive species in Lake Hicpochee.
7 SFWMD Mike Bodle discussed the SFWMD s Ground Services Contracts, which have expired. All of the contracts were re-bided. The four firms have expanded to eight firms, with newly executed full contracts. There are three firms that can provide full aquatic plant management services. These contracts are available for interagency piggy-backing. The SFWMD has removed their aquatic plant management field applicator services. Mike Bodle also performed a bid release for grass carp, if anyone is interested in a bid price. New/Old Business Lake Okeechobee Watershed Project - Planning efforts are underway for the Lake Okeechobee Watershed (LOW) project, which aims to: Improve the quality, quantity, timing and distribution of water entering Lake Okeechobee Provide for better management of lake water levels Reduce high-volume discharges to the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries downstream of the lake Improve system wide operational flexibility One of the next steps for implementation is to identify opportunities to restore the quantity, quality, and timing and distribution of flows into Lake Okeechobee. The LOW Project preliminary project area, where placement of features will be considered, covers a large portion of the Lake Okeechobee Watershed north of the lake. Okeechobee-Watershed-Project/ Lake Okeechobee RECOVER performance measures - RECOVER (REstoration COordination & VERification) is a multi-agency team of scientists, modelers, planners and resource specialists who organize and apply scientific and technical information in ways that are essential in supporting the objectives of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). The RECOVER team conducts scientific and technical evaluations and assessments for improving CERP s ability to restore, preserve and protect the south Florida ecosystem while providing for the region's other water-related needs. RECOVER applies a system-wide perspective to the planning and implementation of the CERP and communicates and coordinates the results of these evaluations and assessments to managers, decision makers and the public. *** The next interagency flight is scheduled for the first Tuesday of every month. ***The next interagency meeting will be scheduled in the near future Adjournment David Lattuca adjourned the Task Force meeting at 11:00 A.M.

10 Removal of Aquatic Growth Project (RAG) PREFACE The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District Commander is committed to achieving successful execution of the Removal of Aquatic Growth Project to maintain navigation in eligible Federal navigation projects in the District. The District Commander has the ultimate responsibility for this project and is responsible for ensuring that products and actions of the district staff achieve desired results. BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM The Removal of Aquatic Growth (RAG) Project was authorized by the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 to deal with navigation problems caused by the non-native water hyacinth plants that were introduced into Florida and Louisiana. The project has been expanded over the years to include other species (water lettuce, alligatorweed, hydrilla and melaleuca) and other states (Alabama, Mississippi and Texas). The Jacksonville District Invasive Species Management Branch utilizes Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to manage invasive species. IPM is the coordinated use of the most appropriate strategy to prevent or reduce unacceptable levels of invasive species and their damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property and the environment. The District has a maintenance control program wherein the exotic floating plants are maintained at the lowest possible levels by IPM. This approach has reduced many of the adverse environmental effects caused by excessive vegetation. The beneficial effects of the maintenance control approach include: (1) reduction in the total amount of herbicide required to control a given area, (2) reduction in the amounts of decaying aquatic vegetation, (3) reduction in the need for extensive aerial application, (4) reestablishment of native species in controlled areas, and (5) relatively stable labor costs. If maintenance control is not achieved, the waterways will again experience severe problems. Due to the biological nature of the problem it is difficult to predict the exact problem acreage without control. In the absence of control the unrestricted use of the water bodies would be lost due to localized navigational and flow blockage. FY16 ANNUAL REPORT This report was designed to summarize the Removal of Aquatic Growth Project for Lake Okeechobee and the Okeechobee Waterway during FY16 (October 01, 2015 September 30, 2016).
