Plan To Fight Milfoil Will Be Explained

Mon., April 24, 1995

From Staff And Wire Reports

A state grant will be used to fight milfoil, a weed that has infested some Stevens County lakes, and threatens parts of the Little Pend Oreille and Colville rivers.

A public meeting to provide information on the project will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday in Room 215 of the Stevens County Courthouse, Colville. People will be asked to explain how they use the lakes, and how milfoil affects that use.

The Stevens County Weed Board and the Little Pend Oreille Lakes Association received funding for the project from the Washington Department of Ecology. The money comes from annual fees assessed on boat trailers.
