Committee will revisit lake issues

The Capitol Lake Adaptive Management Plan Steering Committee will get an update on milfoil, Deschutes Parkway, fish ladders and Heritage Park when the group meets at 8 a.m. Thursday.

Milfoil is a non-native invasive plant that has been found in the lake. Much of the parkway around the lake has been closed since it was damaged in the Nisqually Earthquake.

The meeting will be in the lower conference room, Division of Capitol Facilities Building, 1058 S. Capitol Way.
