Please note that the other treatment site on this map at Gosling Point was treated last week and is not part of this effort.
We will be using Diquat herbicide, the water use restrictions on potable and irrigation use are three days post treatment. There is no swimming or fishing restriction on the label, we generally post a 12 hour swimming precaution to allow the material to reach an equilibrium and dilute from the zone.

The first of these will be at Gosling Point/Thema Slough area the week of August 13th with a target date of Tuesday August 14th.
