Summary

By August 2007, the tub grinder had arrived at Beaver Island’s Transfer Station and work on its addition was moving forward. The Phragmites campaign also grew: township contributions rose to $2,500 each, the permit expanded from 20 to 40 acres, and treatment was coordinated with BIPOA and the DEQ.

Evidence limits

The report documents equipment arrival, bids, funding, and treatment planning, not the final construction cost or eradication results.
