Scheduled treatment date: July 13, 2009
Water restrictions ended: July 19, 2009

Restriction Information:

WITHIN 1⁄4 MILE of herbicide treatment locations: For owners of property or water intakes within 1⁄4 mile, there are restrictions on the use of the treated water. These restrictions are based on studies which determine the breakdown of the product and provide substantial safety margins beyond the known breakdown period. The following use restrictions must be observed starting July 13, 2009:

• NO human consumption (drinking)
• NO food crop or pasture irrigation
• NO landscape watering

until herbicide residues reach Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) minimums.

SWIMMING AND FISHING IS OK!

Use of DMA 4® IVM in other bodies of water has shown that these restrictions may be lifted when water testing reveals the concentration of the herbicide has fallen below 0.07 parts per million (ppm). You may remove posted signs when restriction has been lifted.

To find out when restrictions are lifted in your area, you can go to the Kootenai County Eurasian watermilfoil website page at www.kcweeds.com (click on Eurasian watermilfoil) or call the dedicated phone line, 208-446-1295, to listen to a daily, updated recording of lifted restrictions.
