If you would like to report an issue regarding aquatic plant species at Lake Gaston, NC/VA, use the link below to a Goggle Form that when submitted will be sent to the NCSU Lake Gaston Extension Associate. Reported issues will be evaluated and considered in any future management plans conducted by the Lake Gaston Weed Control Council (LGWCC). In some cases the NCSU Extension Associate, LGWCC member or LGA volunteer may reach out for follow up. In accordance with the Dominion's Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) and applicable federal/state regulations, invasive, noxious and nuisance vegetation are managed by the LGWCC.

The management of native species are tightly controlled and not authorized except in specific instances as identified in the SMP. The management of Water Willow is currently prohibited per the SMP. However, by adding your information related to native species to the database, it will be available if management actions for native species are permitted in the future.
