Lake Mapping to Monitor Sedimentation Levels

Integrated Lakes Management recently completed a Bathymetric Lake Mapping project for a lake association in DuPage County, Illinois.   In addition to the bathymetric survey,  sedimentation depths were collected and a model of sedimentation levels was created to estimate the volume of sludge in the lake.  The resulting map provided the baseline depth profile needed for long-term sedimentation monitoring and dredging plans.

Lake Map Helps Owner Locate Fish Hot Spots

Southeastern Pond Management  recently completed a lake mapping project for a client in Mississippi.  The primary reason for mapping the pond was to assist the owner in locating the best areas to fish.  This information will be conveyed to all clients visiting the lake so they will spend less time searching and more time reeling in largemouth bass.  Existing structure and feeders were mapped and numbered with GPS coordinates for easy locating while on the boat.  Also, areas of excavation and old creek channels are easily identified.

As far as a management tool, Southeastern Pond Management uses the lake map to get exact acres for stocking, help calculate how many weeds may be present, calculate acre/feet for treatments such as rotenone applications.  In other words, provide the client with the best fishing possible from his pond.

US Army Corps of Engineers Lake Mapping Project

The US Army Corps of Engineers teamed up with Integrated Lakes Management for a Bathymetric Lake Mapping project in Chicago.  Ships and barges using this particular harbor have been battling sedimentation while navigating through the water  and required a bathymetric survey to understand the severity of the problem.   GPS lake mapping techniques developed by The Mapping Network were used to create an accurate depth model of the harbor.

Lake Mapping: Is it for me?

To fully enjoy your lake or pond it is essential to know the facts: exact acreage, depths, and chemistry of your lake to make the best management decisions including placement of structure, stocking densities, fish species selection, weed control, where those bass may well be hiding, etc. The Mapping Network maps lakes throughout the entire year but typically the best time to map a lake is from fall until spring, while the weeds are down. An accurate lake map provides the information needed to make the most of your aquatic resource. The Mapping Network provides the highest quality and is the most affordable bathymetric mapping system on the market today. If you are serious about maintaining a high-quality lake or pond, be sure you have the ability to make the best decisions, get your lake mapped by the professionals at The Mapping Network.

Pond Medics, Inc Uses Lake Mapping Technology To Save Homeowner Association 50% From Original Dredging Bids

For lake associations or landowners undertaking a significant lake or pond renovation project, having an accurate map is essential for effective sediment removal.  Dredging companies and their clients benefit from knowing where and how much sediment needs to be removed to achieve the desired results.  This knowledge is made clear by having the lake professionally mapped.  Trent Lewis with Pond Medics, Inc. (Prosper, TX) put this technology to use for a client, in this case a lake association in Dallas, Texas.  The board of directors had a cove on the lake which had filled in with so much sediment that homeowners were unable to launch their boats.  The association wanted to achieve a minimum depth of three feet to allow boats to travel through without worry.  Originally bids were acquired by three contractors but the association became confused when the bids ranged from $170,000 to $210,000 for sediment removal.  Mr. Lewis suggested a solution where the lake would be mapped and sediment measurements taken to create a comprehensive base map for the dredging companies to hone their bids.  The result allowed the board of directors the ability to fine-tune the bids and the entire project was completed for $92,000.  The lake was then re-mapped upon completion of the dredging to verify sediment had been removed.  Mr. Lewis said the board was extremely thankful for having the ability to accurately map their lake and as a result the association was able to save nearly 50% off the original cost for the dredging project.

Benefits to Association

• Locate and identify areas to be dredged
• Save time and money by providing contractors with accurate plan
• Peace of mind knowing all work is completed to plan
• Ability to monitor sediment over time with routine mapping

Benefits to Dredging Company

• Understand the scope of work
• Accurately bid projects with better information
• Provide the client with a map to prove work is completed

GPS Mapping to Successfully Treat Phragmites

Virginia Lake Management Company is a certified aquatic pesticide applicator in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, West Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, and as such, was contracted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in a partnership with helicopter applicators to provide the ground application resources required to treat the areas of Phragmites growth that was not able to be treated through aerial applications.  As a certified mapping partner of The Mapping Network, Virginia Lake Management used GPS mapping technologies to document and provide detailed maps and aerial photography of the areas in which the Phragmites were treated
.
Not only did this allow the customer to quantify the acreage of areas treated and evaluate the costs of the project, it also allowed them to track the progress of the program as compared to previous years.  This was the second year that Virginia Lake Management was involved in this project, and progress can already be seen. The density of the Phragmites after the first year’s treatment has been decreased, and much of the natural vegetation has started to recover and return to the areas that were once dominated by Phragmites.

Phragmites is known for its durability and extremely aggressive patterns of growth so this will be an ongoing effort that will likely take many years.  However, with the right treatment, and the proper tools and use of GPS technology and aerial imagery, we are able to make great strides towards our goals of eradication of the Phragmites and the restoration of this beautiful natural habitat.
