The 2005 General Herbicide Treatment Maps
This week Aquatic Nuisance Control applied the general herbicide application of contact herbicides to singe down native aquatic plants that have reached nuisance levels in locations designated for control. We have published maps of these treatment areas below for your information. This treatment was applied to minimize recreational obsticles created by native vascular plants (mainly Illinios Pondweed) reaching the water surface. It is important to note that additional isolated spot treatments of herbicide and algaecide will likely be required as the summer progresses. We will post maps of these treatments as they develop. The following lakes were not treated at this time as they were not expressing nuisance levels biologically warrenting treatment: Camper Lake(s), Kitt Lake, Lily Pond, Rush Lake, Golden Pond, and Ranger Lake. These lakes may require spot treatments later in the season, if biologically warrented. Lost Canyon Lake has been classified as a "No Treatment" lake during the 2005 summer season. More detailed maps of the Main Lakes are available upon request.

I have a home on Kitt Lake and am extremely disapointed and upset with the "no treatment" needed decision. Did you actually go and "really" look at Kitt Lake? There are already weeds/grasses showing above the surface. As this is our fifth summer on Kitt Lake we know the hot weather of July/August causes evaporation and with the resulting lake level drop it will look like a mess. I spoke to someone at Summit Labs several weeks ago and tried to express our experience that the shallowness of this lake in areas necessitates early weed treatment to look nice throughout the summer season. Our first summer here (2000) there was no weed treatment in the spring and it looked awful by the fall. The weed applications that CLPOC applied in 2001-2004 did improve the appearance of the lake dramatically and lasted throughout the summer. I don't know "what" was in the spring application in previous years but it worked at keeping Kitt Lake attractive. As I expressed to your representative as a homeowner I consider the appearance of Kitt Lake as an important contributor to protecting the investment in real estate we made in Canadian Lakes. I would like to know exactly what your plan is for this lake.
