Thanks so much for reporting this problem to the on-line hotline. It looks like you have Eurasian watermilfoil. I will need a specimen to know for sure, and I will arrange to pick on up from you. I will forward your report to the City of Eugene to see if they can help determine who is responsible for that site.
Thanks, Tania
