Cocolalla Lake Treatment Scheduled for Tuesday this coming week

A portion of Cocolalla Lake will be treated with Diquat for Eurasian Milfoil Control this coming Tuesday.  There is a 24 hour precaution for swimming within the treatment area, a three day restriction from drawing water for potable use or irrigation.  This treatment will not impact the majority of landowners on the lake, it is primarily focused on the southern portion.  Signs will be posted the day prior to treatment on the docks or your shoreline if you are in the treatment area.  You can also look at this map Treatment Map Link to view the location in relationship to your property.  You can also call 360-201-2612 to ask questions of our team.  The Idaho State Department of Agriculture staff contact is Nic Zurfluh at 208-631-9574.

Cocolalla Lake Public Notices to be Delivered this week

Aquatechnex biologists will be delivering the required public notices two weeks prior to the planned aquatic herbicide treatment for Eurasian Milfoil is performed.  The proposed treatment map is available at the link below.  The blue areas are suggested for treatment, the green buffer area shows where the shoreline notices need to be delivered.

Aquatechnex and ISDA Scientists will be reviewing these treatment zones the week of July 31st and scheduled treatment is the week of August 7th.  This site will be updated that week to explain exact dates and procedures.
