West Long Branch Council adopts Franklin Lake management plan

From :

"The West Long Branch Council took another step toward eradicating invasive plant species in recently-dredged Franklin Lake, during its meeting on Feb. 2.

The council passed a resolution authorizing the award of a contract for the implementation of a management plan for Franklin Lake which will help stop hydrilla from growing, according to Borough Engineer Francis Mullan.

The contract was awarded to Allied Biological Inc. of New Jersey, which submitted a low bid of $29,530 for the three phases of lake management plan, which will take place over the next three years. The first phase of the project will cost $13,850 in 2011, $11,990 in 2012 and $3,690 in 2013."
