Twin Lakes Protection & Rehabilitation District Steering Council Saturday, November 15, 2025 - 10:00 A.M. Twin Lakes Community Room, 105 E. Main Street, Twin Lakes Meeting Minutes 1. Meeting called to order. 10:05 am 2. Roll Call – Bill, Tony, Dean, Pam, Bryan, Jack, Bev, (Rhett Suhre, Ken Perl, board member) 3. Minutes: October 4, 2025. Bryan moved to approve, Pam seconded, passed. 4. Public Comment: None 5. Committee Reports A. Communication – none B. Nonpoint – Get the new committee members contact information from Laura, 4all a meeting, review with Laura the actions taken on current approved projects C. Fishing – no new report, see new business D. Aquatic – Dean, has new contact at Wi. Lakes and Ponds, Sydney Skanz, a new weed is emerging in lakes but there is little recognition by DNR. We paid $300 to check our commercial piers for regulatory adherence. (100+ foot limit with depth of water dependency for extending length.) 6. New Business A. Discussion of chairperson position – Bev moved to elect Tony as chairperson, Pam seconded, passed. We are extremely grateful for Tony’s continued support of the Lakes. B. Discussion implementing pier address numbering system by Boat Safety. – police are looking into signage to identify addresses from the Lake. C. Lake Mary Aquanuts performing shoreline enhancement proposal approval request. Lance Park shoreline revitalization construction planning document proposal from Hey and Associates, Inc.. This shoreline stabilization project, which could be over $100’s of thousands, to protect the lakefront of Lance Park. It is a professional design of what may be needed, but changes are easily made. The cost of the proposal is $8,000. If we act now on this, we could possibly have it done by July 4th, 2026. Bev questions the availability of funds for the project based on laws. Agreement was made to follow up on this and address it with legal opinions and other actions as deemed necessary. Also, she questions whether there are others who should be involved, like the Aquanuts. Bryan moves: “The Twin Lakes Protection and Rehabilitation District Steering Council accept the Hey and Associates, Inc. November 4, 2025 Lance Park Shoreline Restoration engineering proposal for the Lance Park Shoreline revitalization at Lance Park.” Pam seconds. Discussion of history of former activity involving the Village and Aquanuts, along with the status of that project. It is dead according to Bryan. Further actions are pending on this, however, that may impact its future. Tony questions doing shoreline in cooperation with the park district and/or the Aquanuts, the Village, etc. A lot of discussion about this project and the management of money by the Village in general. Rhett asks what parties would be involved and Bryan answered all parties, (i.e. The Park District, Village, Aquanuts.) Timing was also discussed, as we must avoid having Lance Park under construction during the 4th. Bev questions that the shoreline needs protection. Rhett would like to include the other parties in discussion before we spend the money on the proposal. Tony concurs with more open discussion. Dean asks if anyone has asked the Village Board whether they want it and who would carry it forward, should we approve. Bryan said he would be glad to turn it over to the Shoreline committee. The project approval will provide the Village a recommendation to spend the $8k, they will then decide whether to proceed with the purchase of the proposal. Brayn calls for role vote of motion. Bryan – Yes, Tony – No, Pam – Yes, Dean - No Bev – No, Jack – Yes Tie vote, the motion fails. Question of whether the chairperson should vote or just break a tie by their vote. We looked it up and Tony can vote. Rhett moves to have a meeting on December 13 with the “parties”, including this steering committee, the Aquanuts, the Village, The Park District, and Hey & Associates to discuss getting this proposal. Pam seconded. Pam – Y, Jack Y, Bryan N, Dean Y, Tony Y, Bev Y motion passed. D. Discussion regarding lighting around the lakes and adopting an ordinance. – Bev provided a DNR brochure about lighting. Bev moved: “The Twin Lakes Protection and Rehabilitation District Steering Council recommends the Village of Twin Lakes Village Board enter discussion regarding the creation of and adoption of a lakeshore lighting ordinance applicable to both Lake Mary and Lake Elizabeth which would establish limits on light intensity (lumens) and require directional downward-focused lighting to minimize glare across the lakes, protect nighttime views, and reduce light pollution in the spirit of the DNR sensible shoreline lighting brochure entitled, "Sensible Shoreland Lighting. Preservative the Beauty of the Night." Dean seconded. Jack says it’s good to do! Pam Y Bryan Y Dean Y Bev Y Jack Y Motion Passed. E. Discussion regarding shoreline ordinances and enforcement. - Bev provided 17.39.070 sub f sub 2 “Shoreline Protection Overlay District, Special Regulation.” Bev talked about a non-conformity and got guidance on how to address this with the Village and homeowner. F. Discussion regarding Lake District information to public via website / social media. – Pam talked about posting on the Village Website. The status of residents has information that applies to nonresidents and Lake information should be under a different, more apparent banner on the Website. Posting information is problematic, (like you must post a link, not a picture, (like the new brochure for boat safety.) Now, it must be done with a link and people do not do “likes.” Pam moves to have the Website enabled to post such information easily. She asked to be involved in the Village Website rework discussions. Pam will call Laura on Monday, as the work on the Website will be part of meetings this Monday. G. Discussion of weir – Homeowners of the properties that boarder the Lake Elizabeth side of the weir have landscaped in such a manner that they encroach on the width of the weir and impact water and sediment movement. There is an ordinance against doing that. Whether this is happening and what to do about it is problematic. Maintenance can be done, (expensive), and the weir could be removed. Bryan mentioned a study could be done about removing the weir. Tabling discussion. H. Discussion regarding wake enhanced activity by wake boats and creating collaborative subcommittee of Lake District Members. – Bryan moves: "The Twin Lakes Water Quality, Lake Habitat, Fish, & Fishing Committee’s motion that there be consideration of and recommendation for the Twin Lakes Protection & Rehabilitation District Steering Council and The Village of Twin Lakes to regulate wake enhancement activities on both lakes." Pam seconded. Tony agrees there should be some recommendations. There are activities to regulate at the state level, but this would be a Village ordinance to be determined in the future. General discussion is positive. Bryan – Yes, Tony – Yes, Pam – Yes, Dean - Yes Bev – Yes, Jack – Yes 7. Next Meeting A.

The purpose of the visit s was to control existing stands of aquatic invasive species (AIS) and document remaining populations of AIS and lake conditions to plan for 2026 management. Background Information Lakes M ary and Elizabeth m ake u p the Twi n Lakes in souther n Kenosh a County. Elizabeth i s the largest a t 725 acres and sits on the border of I llinois and Wisconsin. Lake Mary i s 310 a cres and directly to the north of Elizabeth. A small stream connects the lakes, flowing from Mary into Elizabeth and eventually out of Elizabeth and connecting to the North Branch Nippersink Creek. In each lake, there are two confirmed aquatic i nvasive species (AIS) plant present; Eurasian water-milfoil (HWM) and Curly-leaf pondweed (CLP). Curly-leaf pondweed has remained at low background levels and does not need management. Past surveys have shown that Eurasian water -milfoil has grown to nuisance levels and required management throughout the years. Control of HWM has focused on the use of aquatic herbicides, which has been on the decline over the past years. No active HWM management has occurred in Lake Mary since 2021, until 2025. Hybrid Eurasian watermilfoil, along with nuisance vegetation, was treated for in small, select areas. A total of 4.16 acres of EWM were treated for in spring of 2025. The aquatic plant community of the l akes has been healthy, though periodically dense , in shallow areas of both Lakes. Both lakes have also managed for a general mix of aquatic plant species impeding navigation in select, near-shore areas. Introduction of aquatic invasive species caused an expanding problem with excessive aquatic plant growth. A September 2023 survey documented 84.13 acres of HWM, not including individual stems and/or clumps, which was found primarily in Lake Elizabeth and in widely -scattered, low-density beds. Only the densest areas were recommended for management in 2025 and totaled 7.5 acres for direct HWM control. In addition, 2.2 acres were recommended for management of general nuisance-cause species. While 2024 showed very decreased HWM populations and only managing for 4.4 acres of HWM only and an additional 3.1 acres of a HWM and navigation relief mix. 2025 HWM management areas consisted of similar areas as 2024. Vegetation in Lake Mary was less dense, with only 1.6 acres noted for potential nuisance management for 2025. No management had taken place on Lake Mary in 2024 or 2025. WDNR aquatic herbicide permits were applied for and approved to control these areas of HWM and a general mix of nuisance-causing growth (Figures 1-2). The aquatic herbicide ProcellaCOR EC (active ingredient florpyrauxifen-benzyl) was permitted for use within target areas for HWM while a mix of the active ingredients copper, diquat, and flumioxazin was used for general nuisance relieve. Application occurred on May 12, 2025, to areas in Lake Elizabeth. Any approved permits are at the end of the report.

To gauge current conditions and assess the need for 2026 management, follow-up aquatic plant surveys were completed on September 2-3, 2025, by WLPR. 2025 Aquatic Plant Surveys WLPR conducted the 2025 surveys using a meander method throughout the entire photic zone of the lakes with rake throws and v isual observations to v erify the presence of AIS. All locations of HW M were recorded on a GPS. Observations of native aquatic plant species were recorded to create a list of those present within the lakes. Water temperatures were 73-degrees during the surveys and great water clarity was present. Results of the surveys are found on Figures 1-2. The composition of the aquatic plant community remained steady and of good diversity for similar lakes within the same region. Overall, 19 different native aquatic plant species were noted in Lake Elizabeth along with one AIS; hybrid Eurasian water-m ilfoil (Table 1, below) . Lake Mary had 11 native plants and HWM (Table 1, below). Like past surveys, moderately dense vegetation was noted in select portions of the lake s, primarily near-s hore areas and around docks/marinas, and included a mix of shallow beds of widgeon grass, sago pondweed, muskgrass, and spiny naiad. N7828 Town Hall Rd Eldorado WI 54932 Phone: (920) 872-2032 Fax: (920) 872-2036 Professional Pond Management Aquatic Herbicide and Algaecide Applications Lake Management Planning and Services Pond Design and Development www.wisconsinlpr.com The 2025 surveys identified HWM growing at various densities and distribution in the survey locations. The following densities were used to describe the HWM populations: 1. Spo ts – small locations of individual plants or clumps that were not large enough to map around their perimeter. 2. Scattered – locations of HWM that had plants close enough to map as an area but were st ill widely scattered. HWM is merely present and not a large component of the biomass. 3. Low – HWM identified in distinct beds. While individual plants or clumps may reach the surface, most are lower growing or not as dense. Often mixed with other vegetation. 4. Moderate – HWM occupies over half the water column with many plants or clumps at or just below the surface. Few other plant species found. 5. High – locations of HWM that were at or near the surface and occupied much of the water column. HWM may be the only plant found growing in these locations. O verall, populations of HWM have increased in Elizabeth Lake compared to the 2024 plant survey. Lake Mary continued to have low and scattered EWM. In Elizabeth, 11.58 acres of HWM while 2.67 acres were identified in Lake Mary during the September 2025 survey (Table 2 and 3 below, Figures 1-2). Populations of HWM undoubtably exist outside the areas identified in 2025 . The breakdown of Eurasian water-milfoil present by density across the Lakes are as follows: F or Elizabeth Lake, most locations of HWM populations were found as scattered beds in shallow water, transitioning to individual stems or clumps in slightly deeper flats (6 -10 ft). Prior surveys recorded HWM growing in the same areas year to year. A low density bed was found by the public boat launch along with many scattered beds and stems in that general area. A handful of low density areas were mapped in shallow, high -traffic locations with more organic components mixed in the sediment, generally around docking slips on the western shoreline . Scattered beds of HWM were noted to be outside of low density beds. Many were located by the boat launch along with the northern bay. Single stems/clumps were very widely scattered throughout the lake. The densest areas should be targeted for control in 2026 to reduce nuisance to the adjacent landowners. H WM populations in Lake Mary were again documented at very low density and spread. An increase of HWM was noted from 1.61 acres of scattered density beds in 2024 to 2.67 scattered density beds in 2025. All beds were primarily in narrow, near -shore bands in the southwestern bay. The rest of the HWM was noted as individual spots or clumps (Figure 2 ). In 2026, it is recommended to continue a monitoring only approach. Most of the vegetation in Lake Mary was dominated by sporadically dense beds of sago pondweed and spiny naiad. An aquatic plant community is dynamic and changes year to year based on growing conditions and many other factors. Some species identified in 2025 were not directly sampled in the past and vice versa, but this should not be a cause for concern.

The district’s approach has allowed native populations to flourish and enhance the health of the lake. C urrent DNR recommendations for control of AIS include the use of an integrated pest management approach, or IPM. The use of IPM includes changing methods of control, including but not limited to: varying herbicide active ingredients, mechanical harvesti ng, hand or suction harvesting, monitoring - only, and no- action. The spread of HWM in Lakes Elizabeth and Mary recorded in 2025 is found primarily in the shallow, near -shore areas and scattered at very low density in most locations. A few small to moderate locations in Lake Elizabeth are dense enough to warrant control in 2026 while populations in Lake Mary continue to be very low and scattered, not requiring active management. Continued management for HWM has maintained a low-frequency, background population. I t is our recommendation to continue to conduct management in select areas for control of denser areas of HWM and navigational relief of a general mix of species, if necessary, in select locations. Continued monitoring for new or existing populations of AIS is an important, recommended management step to continue. HWM control should focus on the densest areas of growth with a highly selective, early -season herbicide application. In total, 15.14 acres are recommended for control of HWM and nuisance relief (Figure 3). A recommended timeline for 2026 actions is as follows: • M arch 2026: Apply for WDNR permit for up to AIS and/or nuisance relief (Figure 3) o 9.84 acres for HWM control and 5.3 acres for nuisance relief on Elizabeth only • May 2026: Selective herbicide application for HWM control with ProcellaCOR EC in Lake Elizabeth. • May/June 2026: Nuisance control application to areas in Lake Elizabeth - only if necessary. • August/September 2026: aquatic plant survey and mapping to assess AIS populations. • October/November 2026: Complete an assessment of AIS present for 2027 planning. • Update management report and recommendations to the district. Future planning may involve any of the following actions: o Varying scale of AIS control in 2027 o Continued monitoring o No action I f you have any questions, require any additional information, or would like a formal proposal on any of the above management options please contact us directly as follows: S ydney Kanz: (920) 872-2032 or skanz@wisconsinlpr.com R espectfully, S ydney Kanz Aquatic Field Biologist N7828 Town Hall Rd Eldorado WI 54932 Phone: (920) 872-2032 Fax: (920) 872-2036 Professional Pond Management Aquatic Herbicide and Algaecide Applications Lake Management Planning and Services Pond Design and Development www.wisconsinlpr.com 2025 WDNR Aquatic Herbicide Permits Management Locations Lake Mary Kenosha County, WI 2025 Nuisance Management Locations Figure 6 Elizabeth Lake Kenosha County, WI 2025 HWM Management Locations Figure 5 Elizabeth Lake Kenosha County, WI N7828 Town Hall Rd Eldorado WI 54932 Phone: (920) 872-2032 Fax: (920) 872-2036 Professional Pond Management Aquatic Herbicide and Algaecide Applications Lake Management Planning and Services Pond Design and Development www.wisconsinlpr.com 2025 WDNR Treatment Records Aquatic Plant Management NOTE: Missing or incomplete fields are highlighted at the bottom of each page.

This scope of services briefly describes the proposed work plan, anticipated project schedule and estimated project costs. All work would be completed in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, as outlined below. Work Scope These costs include labor, equipment, chemical costs, and direct costs to complete the described work plan. If more than one mobilization is required because DNR does not allow the treatment or it is outside of the allowable label parameters because of weather or other environmental factors, multiple mobilization charges may apply. Chemical and equipment costs are based on the referenced products, application rates and acreages and those costs are fixed as proposed, per unit labor costs generally increase as the treatment area decreases and are subject to change based on the final DNR approved treatment areas and application rates. T ASK 1.0 PREPARE WDNR & WPDES PERMIT APPLICATION WLPR will prepare the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) permit application for chemical control using treatment areas and maps created by WLPR with assistance from the Client. Additional attachments required, including a draft legal publication, if necessary, will be provided by WLPR to the District. Any local publishing requirements in local newspaper(s) will be the responsibility of the Client. Once the permit application and riparian owner notifications are completed, they will be submitted to the DNR using the online electronic permit system. The Client is responsible for any WDNR permit fees. T ASK 2.0 EDUCATIONAL MAILING A packet of information regarding the proposed treatment will be distributed to riparian property owners consistent with NR107.04 (3) that are located within or adjacent to the permitted application (150’) areas. It is assumed that the Client will provide an Excel spreadsheet mailing list of all riparian property owners to WLPR. It is also assumed for the purposes of this proposal that this Task will be completed by the lake group , and it must be completed at least 15 days prior to the chemical treatment. All pertinent information for notification will be provided by WLPR. TASK 3.0 HERBICIDE TREATMENT TARGETING EWM & GENERAL NAVIGATIONAL NUISANCE SPECIES WLPR would treat areas of the Lake consistent with the permitted application areas for EWM and/or general species causing a navigational nuisance (if necessary). Initial treatment would be in May and during periods of calm wind (<7 mph). If liquid, the herbicide would be injected subsurface through trailing hoses. Product by application areas is included below. All products that were chosen ha d shown good success in controlling target species throughout Wisconsin. N7828 Town Hall Rd Eldorado WI 54932 Phone: (920) 872-2032 Fax: (920) 872-2036 Professional Pond Management Aquatic Herbicide and Algaecide Applications Lake Management Planning and Services Pond Design and Development www.wisconsinlpr.com Some locations of the lakes can see dense growth of native aquatic plant species that may cause a nuisance to navigation. In particular, near- shore areas and the narrow channel portions (Locations A - D) of the lake can see navigational nuisance as in years prior. WLPR will manage these for reduction of nuisance conditions during an initial application at the same time as control actions for EWM. Many nuisance treatment lanes require multiple control actions throughout the growing season. Follow - up applications may be necessary and may be completed if these areas are noted to be experiencing dense growth later during the summer by the client. All products proposed are registered by the EPA, DATCP, and the WDNR for use in Wisconsin to remove populations of target aquatic plant growth. Areas of EWM growth in Lake Elizabeth (areas A- E, figure at end of proposal for reference) will be controlled with ProcellaCOR EC at prescribed rates. Areas on Elizabeth Lake seeing nuisance growth from non-algal species will be treated with a mixture of the active ingredients flumioxazin, liquid copper, and diquat and rates of 0.125, 0.111, and 0.245 ppm, respectively. All treatment area dimensions are included below. Task 4.0 AQUATIC PLANT SURVEYS AND MAPPING WLPR will conduct limited late -season aquatic plant surveys on Lakes Mary and Elizabeth to assess 2025 management options and prepare for 2026. Approximate schedule for the survey is late August or early September 2025 to ensure any aquatic plants present can be collected and identified. Data collected will include species presence, density, depth, GPS location, and bottom substrate. This data will be compiled in the WDNR spreadsheet (WiAPMS.xl) and submitted to the Village . Data collected will be used to create maps of any aquatic invasive species present and will be compared with historical data to assess ongoing results of AIS control and plan for potential management in 202 6.
