Five members of the Army Corps of Engineers from the Corps' Lewisville, Texas. facility are working with local volunteers on Lake Gaston in an attempt to test a theory that native aquatic plants can drive out the lake's hydrilla infestation. Philip Edwards, Todd Sliger, Dr. Michael Smart, Gary Dick and Lynde Dodd spent May 25 and 26 surveying over one hundred wire enclosures placed in 18 locations around the lake.
The enclosures were set into the lake in 2006. Some were stocked with native plants and some were designed as controls to see if grass carp were effective in controlling the lake's hydrilla infestation.
