CENTRALIA An invasive weed in Mineral Lake threatens to tangle up boat motors, out-compete native species and impact critical habitat. Eurasian watermilfoil is a common pest in Washington, and was first detected in Mineral lake last fall.
The good news is that the plant one of the most problematic submerged weeds in the Pacific Northwest, according to the state Department of Ecology is in its early stages in Mineral Lake, cropping up in patches around the shore.
Still, documents from Ecology warn that the spread of Eurasian watermilfoil downstream of Mineral Lake to Alder Dam on the Nisqually River “should be of great concern.” The stringy weed could “pose significant threats to the infrastructure of the dam.”
