Candlewood Lake Authority looks to launch grass carp program

Danbury has signed on to an effort by the Candlewood Lake Authority to run a grass carp program design to control and manage Eurasian Milfoil.  The CLA is applying to the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection for a grant to pay for half of the program.  Mayor Mark Boughton says the group plans to raise funds from community organizations for the balance.

 

The grass carp program has worked in other water bodies including nearby Ball Pond, Lake George and other water bodies.

 

The CLA hopes to stock grass carp in the lake this spring.  It could also help with a new, similar invasive species that's shown up in the lake, but grows on the top of the lake. 

 

CLA has permission from First Light, the owners of the lake, but they still need a permit from DEEP.
