Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, the Eurasian water milfoil, which has overrun the lake, is disrupting fishing and other recreational activities and poses a risk to water quality.

A licensed contractor will apply an aquatic herbicide designed to eliminate the invasive weed.

This herbicide specifically targets the broadleaf aquatic invasive species and is safe for fish, animals, people, and other aquatic plants.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) will post signs around the lake, advising people to stay off the water during the treatment to avoid disrupting the application process.

Additionally, lake water should not be used to irrigate broadleaf plants for seven days following the treatment, until August 15.
