Note: If you wish to stock at more than one location (non-contiguous pieces of property), please complete a separate form for each site.
1. APPLICANT INFORMATION: The department will issue a permit only to those persons, organizations, or agencies that own or legal controlling authority over the water body proposed to be stocked. A homeowner's association is considered a business organization, for the purposes of this application. Your telephone or FAX number is necessary in order to schedule an initial site inspection.
2. DESCRIPTION OF WATER TO BE STOCKED: This section must be completed to the fullest extent possible. Information regarding the watershed, water source, water body type/principal use and public access are necessary for determining whether the use of grass carp is an appropriate means of aquatic vegetation management or control. The location, size, and use of the water body will be used to determine how many grass carp to stock. The inclusion of water quality data is not mandatory, but may help anticipate and alleviate management problems in the water body.
A hand-drawn or commercially produced map is acceptable.
The map should show the following details:
a) location of the property in relation
to nearest major streets or highways
b) property boundaries
c) nearest river, stream, or other
freshwater system
d) location of each water body within
the property (please label each with name or identification number)
e) points where water enters each
water body, if any
f) points where water leaves each
water body, if any
g) locations of fish containment barriers,
if any
Item (a) is necessary for inspection purposes. In addition, please provide explicit written directions so that the site may be readily found by a person who is unfamiliar with the area.
3. AQUATIC VEGETATION IN THE SUBJECT WATER BODY: In describing the aquatic vegetation problem in the subject water body, please include the following information, if possible: 1) reason why the vegetation is considered a problem; 2) how long the problem has persisted; 3) vegetation control methods used in the past; 4) any other information which you consider pertinent. Attach additional pages if more space is needed. You may also include photograph showing the extent of vegetation coverage in the subject water body.
List the names of the various types of aquatic vegetation observed in the subject water body, if known. Relative abundance of each plant type should be expressed as the percentage of the water body's surface area covered by that plant, at the height of the growing season (i.e., July or August). In the last column, indicate where each type was primarily found: a) along the shore; b) in the middle of the water body; 3) dispersed throughout the water body.
