During the Period of October 1 – 26, 2012, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conser-

vation Commission will be conducting aquatic weed control operations in Lake Rousseau

using EPA approved herbicides. Water hyacinth, water lettuce and boat trails will be main-

tained using the herbicides, Reward or Glyphosate.

People using these areas of Lake Rousseau for domestic purposes or for irriga-

tion are cautioned that treated water should not be used for a period of five days in Reward

treated areas. No Livestock/Domestic Animal watering for 1 day in Reward treated areas.

Water shall not be used for drinking (does not apply to tap or well water) for 1 days in Re-

ward treated areas. There are no restrictions in Glyphosate treated areas.

Scheduled treatments may be delayed due to adverse environmental conditions.

The management and treatment of nuisance exotic vegetation is necessary to maintain rec-

reational activities and protect native plant habitat in Florida waters.
