Noxious Plants Workshop
The Office of Energy Projects initiated a public workshop to exchange
information and discuss monitoring and management options for purple
loosestrife and Eurasian water milfoil at FERC hydropower projects.
The workshop was held on May 13, 2003, in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The workshop was targeted to licensees and stakeholders in the Great
Lakes area where purple loosestrife and Eurasian water milfoil have
become problems. We invited noxious plants experts, licensees, state
and federal agencies, and stakeholders to participate. The workshop
was also open to the public and interested persons.The goals of
the workshop were:
- To gain an understanding of noxious plants and how they affect
management of reservoir resources at the hydropower projects;
- To discuss project requirements and different monitoring
methods and schedules; and
- To exchange information and improve cooperation between the
licensees, Federal and state agencies, and the technical experts
on effective noxious plant control and eradication methods.
