Eurasian watermilfoil and curlyleaf pondweed were detected in Edgewood Creek and in ponds on Edgewood Golf Course during surveys conducted for the Aquatic Plant Monitoring Plan Project in 2018. Due to the extent of the infestation, a comprehensive survey of Edgewood Creek, ponds, and Friday Station reservoir was conducted in September 2020. During the planning phase, plant fragment control is proposed to limit the spread of this infestation and prevent it from entering Lake Tahoe. The size and complex nature of this series of infestations requires close coordination and planning with Edgewood Companies' staff, planned restoration projects, and a secured funding source.

Threshold Categories
-
Removal of AIS will contribute to improved fish habitat within Lake Tahoe for native fish and reduce habitat for invasive fish which prey on native fish and disrupt the natural food chain.
-
This project will improve water quality by removing aquatic invasive plants, a known contributor to decreased lake clarity.

| 01/11/2024 3:14 PM | Emily Frey | In 2023 Edgewood conducted harvesting of aquatic plants from Pond 1, the largest pond on the property which a survey completed in 2020 showed to be infested with curlyleaf pondweed. Edgewood is working with TRPA and Tahoe RCD to plan a comprehensive aquatic invasive plant management project in the ponds and Edgewood Creek. A total of $50,000 is available from Edgewood Companies as a result of a violation settlement; these funds will be used for future AIS work at Edgewood. |

| 03/07/2022 6:26 PM | Mollie Hurt | Additional work on this project was delayed in 2021 due to hazardous air quality and subsequent evacuations due to the Caldor Fire, as well as a short term shift in Basin land management agency and private business priorities due to the Caldor Fire. |

| 01/16/2021 9:25 AM | Mollie Hurt | In 2020, divers completed an underwater survey of the plant infestations located in Edgewood Creek and Ponds. No aquatic invasive plants were detected in Friday Station Reservoir. League staff hosted an Eyes on the Lake training for Edgewood Tahoe Resort staff in September. Tahoe RCD, Marine Taxonomic Services, and League staff met with Edgewood Staff to discuss fragment control methods and potential treatment scenarios. |
