CITY OF SEBRING AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY  MEETING DATE: September 17,2024  PRESENTER: Greg Griffin  AGENDA ITEM#: 1OC-Management of vegetation along US HWY27 BACKGROUND: Staff met with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Invasive Plant Management Regional Biologist to address the management of vegetation along US 27 as well as the introduction ofI Illinois Pondweed. FWC has no objection to the management of vegetation between bird nesting areas along US27. The City's aquatic plant manager will start managing these areas in compliance with the terms of their Contract with the City. The estimated additional cost ofherbicides The introduction ofl Illinois Pondweed is of more concern. While aquatic vegetation is critical to the health ofLake Jackson, recent challenges with this specific species of vegetation on Lake June in Winter in Lake Placid is cause for concern. Neither City Staff Illinois Pondweed is a native plant in certain waterbodies ofl Florida but is not native to Lake Jackson. Recent plantings on sandy bottom nutrient rich lakes has proven problematic. Lake. Jackson is a recreational lake that has historically, and at present, hosted ai moderately health fishery. The likely goal ofFWC and County biologists was to enhance the fishery and well as increase nutrient management via vegetation enhancement. While we do not disagree with the introduction and enhancement of vegetation on Lake Jackson, the challenge with this species is that it grows at such an exponential rate that management will become very difficult in short order. Various forms of management are available but not without collateral damage. For instance, herbicides specific to the treatment oft this species will cause collateral damage where other beneficial species are present such as in the attached photo (the effected species in this case will be bullrush and spadderdock, both highly beneficial plants to the ecosystem). Grass carp, another means for aquatic plant management, will eat Illinois Pondweed but not until they have consumed the more easily digested vegetation within the lake which will further reduce native plant population and increase nutrient loading In addition to the presence of pondweed, numerous patches ofHydrilla were also noted throughout the cove. FWC utilizes Highlands County to treat Hydrilla it is the  for this treatment is approximately $2,500.00.  nor City Residents were notified of this planting.  causing a deleterious effect to water quality.  expectation that the County will treat this as soon as able.  In closing, Illinois Pondweed is a very aggressive and fast growing submerged aquatic plant that without aggressive management will cause significant impact to the ability for  recreational users to utilize Lake Jackson.    The following is an excerpt from Hortechnology October 2019 discussing Illinois Pondweed. Both eel grass and Illinois pondweed were planted by FWC and Highlands Breaking Bad: Native Aquatic Plants Gone Rogue and thel Invasive Species That Inspire Them Lyn A. Submersed aggressive native plants: eelgrass (Vallisneria americana) andi illinois pondweed (Potamogeton illinoinensis) Eelgrass and illinois pondweed are native tol North America. Like hydrilla, they require submersed conditions to survive. Both species provide valuable ecosystem services and are frequently included in freshwater enhancement and restoration projects. In addition to stabilizing substrates and removing nutrients from the water column, these plants provide food and habitats for aquatic fauna (Carpenter and Lodge, 1986; Fleming et al., 2011). Successful establishment of submersed species can be inhibited by abiotic factors such as currents and unsuitable nutrient levels; however, because species such as eelgrass provide such important ecosystem services, methods have been developed to improve field establishment and identify widely adapted ecotypes that tolerate adverse environmental conditions (Gettys andl Haller, 2012, 2013). The growth habit of eelgrass is quite different from hydrilla, although both are Hydrocharitaceae. Eelgrass has a rosette growth form, with long (up to 61 ft), strap-like, sessile leaves attached at the base oft the plant, whereas hydrilla is a branched, clump-forming species with many stems that bear small leaves in a verticillate arrangement. Eelgrass is dioecious, and both plant types (pistillate- bearing and staminatebearing) are typically present ini most populations. Pistillate flowers float on the surface of the water and are supported by long (up to 6.5 ft) peduncles, whereas staminate flowers are borne in a capsule at thel base oft the plant before they are released and allowed to float to the water's surface (Godfrey and' Wooten, 1979). The species is fertile and does reproduce via seeds, but most population expansion occurs as a result of vegetative reproduction (i.e., daughter plants or ramets produced on subterranean rhizomatous runners). Eelgrass is an important component of healthy ecosystems (Jaggers, 1994), but it can easily form nuisance-level populations that require management, particularly in human- made settings such as community lakes, reservoirs, and golf course ponds. Most problems associated with the overgrowth of eelgrass are aesthetic; the plant routinely sheds leaves, which results in unattractive, unkempt shorelines as leaves accumulate along the water's margins. The long peduncles bearing pistillate flowers can become entangledi in fishing gear, outboard motors, and other watercraft, which can be an annoyance to anglers and others who use eelgrass-rich areas for recreational purposes. Illinois pondweed has a growth habit that is more: similar to that ofhydrilla; however, illinois pondweed occasionally produces floating leaves as well as submersed leaves. The submersed leaves ofillinois pondweed are much larger (up to 3 inches long 0.75 inches wide) than those of1 hydrilla (0.75 inches long 0.20 inches wide) and are arranged in an alternate manner on long, slender stems (DiTomaso and Healy, 2003). Illinois pondweed grows in waters as deep as 20: fta and reproduces via sexual and asexual means. The starchy seeds are an excellent food source for ducks and other waterfowl, and they can remain viable for up to 5 years. Like hydrilla, dense populations ofillinois pondweed can degrade ecosystems and habitats by blocking the air-water interface ands suppressing light penetration. Furthermore, it can interfere with anthropocentric activities by hindering navigation, clogging water control structures, and disrupting recreational activities. Tor mitigate the negative effects of dense pondweed growth, the FWC treated more than 1840: acres of pondweed between 2013 and 2018, with the majority oft that acreage treated in two lakes during fiscal year 2013-140350acres: in East Lake Tohopekeliga and 275 acres in) Lake June-In-Winter) (Florida Fish and  County in Lake Jackson.
