Aquatechnex biologists will be treating Eurasian Milfoil at a number of sites on Cocolalla Lake, this work is scheduled for this coming Tuesday August 27th.
A map of these treatment areas can be viewed at Click here for treatment map
We will be providing notices to affected properties and properties within a quarter mile of each treatment site Saturday. Treatments will only be performed within the yellow polygons on this map. Water use restrictions are in effect within those treatment areas and within 400 feet of them. The permit requires notice be delivered to a quarter mile each side, so we recommend you review this map to see where they are in relationship to your property. You can put in your address on the map link in the top right corner and zoom directly to your home to see if treatment is occurring there.
Procellacor is a new selective herbicide that should provide long term control of Eurasian Milfoil. EPA has approved this product for application to lakes without any need for restricting swimming or potable/domestic water use. Water from the treatment area can be used for irrigating turf grass without any restriction, there is a 24 hour restriction on using water from the treatment area to irrigate other ornamental plants so if you have mixed turf and ornamentals you should wait the 24 hours.
