A lake being determined as infested starts with the county. Bruce Anspach, Beltrami County aquatic invasive species lake technician, said when an infestation is found, a report has to be sent to the DNR.
The DNR will then send an official to visit the site with Anspach for confirmation before listing it as an infested water body.
