The neighborhoods have meet three times with a vast majority of the neighbors attending each meeting. The direction of the group has been to apply for a DNR grant to assist in the funding of a project to spray the affected areas, A area wide spraying being necessary so reinfestation will be less likely to occur. The DNR grant, which is a SO/50 matching grant, has been received for this project.(Total Grant Amount is $10,000), The matching funds have been deposited with the City by the residents in the area who wish to ;have their lots sprayed, There will be no City funds utilized for this project. The grant will need to be administered by a Local Government Unit (LGU) or in this case the City of Andover. Of the 90 residents in the area 70 have requested their properties be sprayed (78 % of the area residents), The City will be acting as a pass through agency for this project. The City Council is requested to authorize the appropriate city staff to execute the attached grant for the 1997-99 Minnesota Releaf Community Tree Planting and Forest Health Grant. It has just recently been brought to our attention that the timing of the spraying is crucial and it is necessary for the City Council to address this issue on short notice, J Update on Spruce Budworm #2/ Woodland Ridge and Woodland Meadows r ' '- / Since the last City Council update which occurred on August 18th, 1998 (see attached) there has been a considerable amount of progress made on the Spruce Budworm control project in the Woodland Ridge and Woodland Meadows neighborhoods, The following is an overview of the current status of the project and includes information on the project cost, DNR-Grant, additional funding, and project timeline with a control work description, Currently, seventy (70) out of the ninety (90) affected homeowners have agreed to participate in the Spruce Budworm control program (an 80% participation rate) that is to begin this spring, 1999, Eight (8) residents did not want to participate and 12 residents were not heard from, Total project cost is based on the control work that is to be done, but it will not exceed $20,000. This funding is provided by residents and a grant from the MN-DNR, The project has been awarded a $10,000 matching grant through the MN-DNR's MNReleaf program for the purpose of Spruce Budworm control and reforestation. The city will accept the grant for the residents and request for 3/4 of the amount up front ($7,500), This money will then be placed into a special designated account for the project. (~) " , Funds to match the MNReleaf grant are provided by the residents. At the public meeting held for this project on April 20th, 1999, residents agreed that each participating homeowner should put forth $150/lot for the project. This money would be used to cover the cost of the treatment of there properties along with those who would like to participate but not give funding, Currently, fifty eight (58) residents have contributed funding of $8,700 along with twelve (12) residents agreeing to just participate, Timing is critical for the project since control work is only affective during a particular time in the Spruce Budworms life cycle, The treatment agreed upon by the residence of Woodland Ridge/Woodland Meadows was the aerial application (2 treatments per application) of a pesticide known as Bacillus thuringiensis, (This is a not a chemical insecticide, but rather a pesticide that occurs in nature, It is environmentally safe, selective to the Spruce Budworm, and has no adverse effects on humans, See additional information for questions) The first treatment of pesticide, will occur in mid-May with the following treatment occurring 3-5 days following the first. The neighbors will then monitor the Spruce Budworm over the summer and fall of 1999 and apply a second application the spring of2000 if the Budworm still persists, , '\ + ~ ~ .I ~ ~~ I ~ ~ ~I ~ iOe ~~ I ~ ~"I~ ~~ I ~ ~ .~ I I I , oust ~\l~ / ~ ~, , I ~~ ~ / 4l:W ;...c ~ ~ ~ ~ t--I ~ ~ ;..c ~ (] "'C ;...c ~ I Sp-roce Bud\vorm, Eastern United States 08/25/1998' Forest Insect & Disease Leaflet 160 ,- ", / u.s.

The fIrst recorded outbreak of the spruce budworm in the United States occurred in Maine about 1807. Another outbreak followed in 1878, Since 1909 there have been waves of bud worm out breaks throughout the Eastern United States and Canada The States most often affected are Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. These outbreaks have resulted in the loss of millions of cords of spruce and fir. Figure I - Mature larva of the spruce, budworm, Balsam fIT is the species most severely damaged by the bud-worm in the Eastern United States. White, red, and black spruce are suitable host trees and some feeding may occur on tamarack, pine, and hemlock. Spruce mixed with balsam fir is more likely to suffer budworm damage than spruce in pure stands. The range of the spruce bud-worm includes the Northern States east of Montana but the budworm is found wherever host species grow (fig, 2). , '\ / http://willow.ncfes.umn.edu/fidl-sbwlbudworm.htm Page 1 of~ _', Spruce BU9worm, Eastern United States , , J " " '..a, .....-:--____, .-." \. ---'-' ..

"~ . The newly hatched budwonD. larva is very small and difficult to find because it bores into and feeds on needles or expanding buds. These larvae can cause severe damage to the exPanding buds. As the larva grows, needles are severed at the base and left hanging in a thin silken web. The severed needles turn brown, giving the defoliated tree a scorched appearance (fig, 3), This condition is apparent from about mid-June until 'late August, depending on the weather and latitude. ~ / - Early in an epidemic, defoliation is usually most noticeable in the top portion of the cro\oV11, After several years of heavy defoliation, the forest turns gray as dead tops become conspicuous (fig. 4).

In extremely high populations, eggs may be laid on almost any surface, Eggs are distributed more evenly on foliage of host trees in the Northeastern United States and eastern Canada than on those of west em species. The eggs hatch in about 2 weeks. Usually, newly hatched larvae immediately seek a suitable place to spin their hibernacula or cocoon-like shelters, However, during warm periods, larvae may move about and feed on needles before spinning a hibemaculum. In doing so, they may spin down from a branch on a silken thread and be carried away by air currents, Larval dispersal at this stage is Ol).e means of spread within and beyond the infested stands. The young larva transfonns into the second instar or stage within the hibernaculum and remains dormant over the .....inter. Old staminate flower bracts are preferred as overwintering sites, but bud scales and bark crevices are also used. In the spring-after several days of warm weather, but before the balsam fir buds begin to expand - the larva emerges from hibernation and begins feedmg. Early feeding is first confined to the new buds of staminate flowers if present, or the larva mines the previous year's needles if staminate flowers are scarce. The new flower buds provide a ready source of food before the vegetative buds expand. The early emerging larvae that feed on staminate flower buds grow much more rapidly and have a higher survival rate than those that feed on old needles. The larva migrates to the end of a twig and bores into a needle or an expanding vegetative bud, Some larvae spin down on silken threads and, as first instar larvae, may be dispersed by air currents. The larvae feeding on staminate flower buds and flowers stay in place until the immediate food supply is depleted. Later, the larva feeds on the new foliage of developing shoots. When the larva is in the fifth instar, it begins tying the tips of twigs together with silk, forming a small nest The new foliage is eaten r '\ I http://willow.ncfes.umn.edulfidl-sbw/budworm.htm Page 3 of~.", Spruce Budworm, Eastern United States . " 08/25/1998 fIrst.: In epidemic situations, old needles and bark (near branch tips) may also be consumed to such a " degree that branch tips and terminal shoots are destroyed, During late Junetbrough mid-July, J depending on the weather, the larva completes development and stops feeding, The larva then transforms to a pupa, generally within the last-formed webbing, Some pupae are found at' " the axils (needle base) of the twigs. The moth emerges about 10 days later (in late June through , , ' mid-July). Peak moth flight activity occurs from about 7:30 p.m. to 11 :30 p,m. Moths may be carried",' :',- up to 10 miles or more by winds and can be transported hundreds of miles by storm fronts.' . ",." .;. Natural Control The spruce budworm'has a high reproductive capacity, but natm:aI factors such as adverse weaihei-~' ,',': ~E-;~~- diseases, predators, and parasites play an important part in holding budworm populations in check.

'\o,......-.~ ~ can lead to an outbreak beyond the control of these and other natural agents, Once a sprU~e biidWcinri.co Je' .:' outbreak begins, it usually continues Wltil the larvae consume much of the available foliage. As a iesuIt,-', the use of biological and chemical insecticides may be necessary to supplement natural control agents, Integrated Pest Management ';The use of various tactics, such as biological insecticides, silvicultura1 practices, and chemical / insecticides, in combination, is t~ed integrated pest management. For forest landowners, several tactics may be available, while the homeowner with only one or two trees has more limited options: A discussion of various management and control techniques follows, Biological control agents - Recent devdopments in the use of diseases as biological control agents hold some promise for spruce budworm control. At the present time, biological insecticides are more expensive than conventional chemical insecticides. In 1948, a polyhedral virus disease was reportedly fOllI1d in budworm populations, The infectious nature of this disease was later demonstrated. With few exceptions, budworm larvae that were fed polyhedra showed effects of the disease within 72 hours, However, many larvae survived, indicating that the virus was not particularly deadly, At least four viruses are kn:)Wll to be endemic in North America (nuc1eopolyhedrosis, granulosis, cyloptasmic polyhedrosis, and entomopox). However, the current cost, of applying a virus such as the nucIeopolyhedrosis virus is about 30 times as expensive as applying chemical insecticides. A microsporidian disease, Pereziafumiferanae Thomson, slows the rate of bud worm development during the larval and pupal stages. The lifespan of infected adults is shortened, Females are affected more than males. To date, neither viruses nor fungi have provided sufficient control in field trials, Both field tests and operational applications of the bacterial pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis(B.t) effectively controlled moderate populations of less than 50 larvae per 18-inch branch, However, in ":xtreme populations of more than 8,000 egg masses per IOO square feet of foliage, B, t. did not protect \ 40liage or reduce the population significantly, http://willow.ncfes.umn.edulfidI-sbwlbudworm.htm Page 4 of6 .:!.. :::fruce Budworm, Eastern United States 08/2,5/1998 Indirect control- Budworm outbreaks develop and gain momentum in the Northeastern United States only when there is a large proportion of mature and overmature balsam fir in the forest. Management practices including <rgreater use of balsam fir, regulating age classes to prevent the occurrence of over-mature balsam fir over large areas, and favoring or planting less susceptible species such as spruce make conditions generally unfavorable to the budworm and may materially reduce the risk of an outbreak. ,. '\ / In the Lake States, young balsam fir trees (l.~- to 4.6-m tall) gro~g next to mature balsam fir ,or , " white spruce starids often'supportheaVy overwintering populations of the budworm. Vegetative buds,';;?~:t' " mined by spruce budworni larvae previously blown in or dropped from the overstory balsam fir. ", ;" : provide suitable hibernation Sites for the next generation. Larvae are able to survive the winter and continue the infestation on these young trees the following year. One way to prevent infestations in ..c..,,_. young trees growing Under a mature balsam fir and white spruce' overstory is to remove the overstory ; ; ,: [ trees and replant the stand with non-susceptible species such as white pine. Insecticides can be applied to adjoining mature stands to protect the young stands nearby, . . . . , , Direct control-Application of chemical or biological insecticides is the most economical way to prevent' " widespread damage caused by heavy budviorm populations. Aerial spraying of registered insecticides satisfactorily controls larvae and., when applied against early instars, provides effective foliage protection. Among the registered insecticides in addition to B.t. are carbaryl. trichlorfon, acephate, malathion, and fenitrothion, Several insecticides are registered for use under the supervision of licensed applicators. B.t, and fenitrothion are registererlfor use only in the Eastern United States. Therefore. ' appropriate State forestry agencies or the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, should be consulted for further details before applying insecticides for budworm control. Special care must be taken when treating infeSted stands near streams and lakes or other environmentally sensitive areas. ,.'-. \ ) Spraying does not kill all the larvae because some are protected by the webbed foliage within which they are feeding, An accurately performed application of a registered insecticide will reduce larval populations sufficiently to retain 35 or more percent of the foliage (fig, 8). This is enough to keep trees alive. or until they can be harvested, Caution: Pesticides used improperly can be injurious to man, animals, and plants.' Follow the directions and heed all precautions on the labels. Figure 8- Color infared photo of a' tre:tted white spruce plantation: Store pesticides in original containers under lock and key - out of the reach the sprny swath is next to the road of children and animals - and away from food and feed. in left of photo. Apply pesticides so that they do not endanger humans. livestock. crops, beneficial insects. fish. and wildlife. Do not apply pesticides when there is danger of drift, when honey bees or other pollinating insects are visiting plants, or when they may contaminate water or leave illegal residues, Avoid prolonged inhalation of pesticide sprays or dusts; wear protective clothing and equipment if specified on the container. If your hands become contaminated with a pesticide, do not eat or drink until you have washed. In case a pesticide is swallowed or gets in the eyes, folIow the first-aid treatment given on the label and get prompt medical attention, If a pesticide is spilled on your skin or clothing, remove clothing immediately and wash skin thoroughly.

TlUs statement will be used in program publicly and legislative te{JQrts. The main PUIJ>Ose of this project is to COntrol a Spruce Budworm (Choristoneura.f.uniferana) infestation thca is occurring in a 260 acres residential portion of Andover know as Woodland Ridge and Woodland Meadows. Conifers Create the majority of the tree cover for the' area with White Spruce (Pkeaglauca) making up the highest percentage of the population. The trees most effected by the Spruce Budwonn are the White Spruce, which puts this area'in danger of loosing a major POrtion of the forest COver, Through the cOOperation of the neighborhood residents, City Officials, and the Mn-DNR this project will USe siIviculturaJ thinning practices, timed applications of pesticides (Bacillus thuringiensis), monitoring. and replanting to preserve Project s~~lP'Pll&fj)_ of the Woodland Ridge/Woodland Meadows neighborhood, Start up date: ~ 1<1<iCl Completion date: 111 ~ Pro;ea Budget Summary a.

A..d~ MtJ - J /- " , ) The goal of this project is to minimize Spruce 1rec mortality and improve overall health of the ' forest This will be accomplished through a couple of management activities, FiISt. thinning will be done to reduce the continuity of the forest canopy and Iience, reduce the potential for spread of the insect and open up the canopy, Second. pesticide aPplications will be used to reduce overall Budworm populations. Last, planting mixed conifer seedlings is to be done to' replace lost trees and fin gaps. These activities can be rather costly and could deter residents from committing to this project. Therefore, the use of funds from the Mn Rcleaf grant will be used to encourage those with financial setbacks to cooperate by offering them the shared cost benefits, Plus, when residents see the cooperation of both City and Stale orgailiutions, it is easier for them to recognize the importance of this forest management project. This could then strengthen the public acceptance of the project. ' rajed Purpose and Public BeaeGts AdiYities late haw the project will meet the MnRI..
