Weeds Report:
The lake was treated for milfoil on June 28, 2010 with the dam area being sprayed on July 6 and 7. On July 28, the lake was sprayed for algae.

Ray Van Goethem, President of Aquatic Nuisance Plant Control submitted a proposal for a Fall Milfoil treatment for Lake James I and Shadow Lake.. The cost of treating 8.38 acres in Lake James I plus 5.25 acres in Shadow Lake (13.63 acres) x $850.00/acre equals $11,585.50. This spraying would be a two-part treatment, with each ½ treatment being done approximately 10 to 14 days apart. This same procedure was completed in the Fall 2009.
