Dane County, in partnership with the City of Madison, City of Middleton, Town of Westport, City of Monona, Lake Waubesa Conservation Association, Village of McFarland, and Friends of Lake Kegonsa Society, will have a shoreline barge crew working to pick up aquatic plants and lake generated debris from residents' piers through August at the following locations:
The pick-up barges will collect only aquatic vegetation, small driftwood, and other debris that have washed up on shore. We will also collect nuisance aquatic plants residents have removed from around their pier (up to a 30-foot width in accordance with DNR regulations). They will not pick up material with rocks, yard waste, brush, or household waste. Aquatic plants must be placed on the pier by Monday at 7:00 a.m. on the designated pick up week. See schedule below for dates and locations.
