Hey and Associates, the company
working with the Crystal Lake Park District on the management of Crystal Lake
would like to provide clarification on the treatment of areas affected by
milfoil growth on Crystal Lake.
Milfoil is an aggressive, non-native
water weed that chokes out native plants and can become so dense it restricts
boating, fishing and swimming. The treatment of Crystal Lake is scheduled on
Thursday, June 13, 2013.
The lake management team will be treating areas of
milfoil growth in the following areas:
·
Deeper water
just west of Main Beach swimming area
·
Along the
northern areas (from point to the rowing piers at the west end) of West Bay,
from the shoreline to approximately 150’ out
·
In addition an
algae treatment adjacent to West Beach, near the small rental pier will be
included, if needed
The total area of treatment could be as much as 14
acres, although it most likely will be less as there has not been lot of
Milfoil in the shallower areas of West Bay.
There are no re-entry restrictions
after Navigate treatment. The treated water should not be used for potable
drinking water until concentrations fall below 0.07 ppm and it should not be
used for irrigation of ornamental plants until the concentration falls below
0.1 ppm. There are no restrictions whatsoever after treating with the algaecide
Cutrine Plus. For more information contact Hey and Associates, Inc. at
