Black Lake Integrated Aquatic Vegetation Management Plan
Black Lake Special District is leading development of a long-term Integrated Aquatic Vegetation Management Plan (IAVMP) for Black Lake.
The IAVMP will evaluate current aquatic vegetation conditions, identify management priorities, and develop long-term strategies to support water quality, recreation, habitat, and ecological health.
Public participation is an important part of this process. Community workshops and project updates will be shared throughout the planning effort.
