Grunter Milfoil Article

Can any paste the full text of the milfoil article from the latest "Grunter," or perhaps post a summary?

This much appears on the front page of the Web site, and I was interested to see where they are recruiting divers for the weed pulling.

Army is Needed
WOLFEBORO — Pulling milfoil from Back Bay is no simple task. Town officials learned recently that the town was required to file a standard dredge and fill permit application with the NH Department of Environmental Services Wetlands Bureau before it could assign a team of divers to hand-pull the invasive weed from the depths of Back Bay...

I'm not trying to get anyone to violate copyright laws, and my family *does* subscribe, but I'd like to learn the details.

Any help appreciated.

Diver Assisted Suction Harvester in Back Bay:

Here's something from the Grunter less than a month old:

Quote:

"...the combination of hand harvesting and limited chemical treatment has reduced the stands of milfoil in Back Bay substantially. Eight days of harvesting using a diver and a Diver Assisted Suction Harvester (DASH) this year removed 4,800 gallons of plants between June and August. This will be followed by treatment with the herbicide 2,4-D on Sept. 15 in the five areas indicated on the aerial view of Back Bay that accompanies this article.

"Last year the entire area was treated with the herbicide, followed by five days of hand harvesting. Marschner says there are nine days of harvesting planned for 2010."
