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 Thursday, June
13.
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 notbe 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. For more information contact
Hey and Associates, Inc. at 414-327-0440.
