Hey and Associates, the company working with the Crystal
Lake Park District on the management of Crystal Lake, will be applying Navigate
herbicide treatment for Eurasian Milfoil around the West Bay and both Main and
West Beach areas of Crystal Lake on Tuesday, May 8.
Approximately 20 acres around the Main Beach and West Bay
areas are to be treated with Navigate™, a granular form of a selective aquatic herbicide.
The West Beach area will be treated with a granular formulation of Cutrine Plus™,
an algaecide to treat the chara growing on the lake bed. Fishing will not be restricted
after application.
Please do not use lake water for irrigating plants and do
not use water from treated areas for drinking water (human or pet) until
concentration <.07ppm, or mixing sprays for agricultural or ornamental
plants.
Eurasian Milfoil is an aggressive, non-native water weed
that chokes out native plants and can become so dense it restricts boating,
fishing and swimming. It has been determined through lake studies that Water
milfoil presents an ecological and recreational nuisance on the West Bay and
eastern shoreline of the lake.
