You are receiving this email because you have signed up to receive email announcements regarding the hydrilla treatment at Deep Creek Lake. Hydrilla is a fast-growing aquatic invasive plant that scientists first found in the lake in 2013 and have been treating with a herbicide each year since 2014. The herbicide treatment takes place each summer and is planned for the summer of 2020. For an overview of 2020 treatment locations and plans, including information related to the treatment process, please click here.
People in the affected areas are asked to stay clear of the treatment boat while underway, so that the proper dosage of herbicide can be administered. Once applied, there are no recreational restrictions associated with the herbicide. Hydrilla control contractors will follow COVID 19 guidelines issued by the state at the time of treatment such as social distancing and using personal protective equipment.
The 2020 planned herbicide treatment dates are as follows:
June 8 – first hydrilla treatment
June 30 – second hydrilla treatment
July 21 – third hydrilla treatment
August 18 – fourth hydrilla treatment
The above dates are weather-dependent. You will receive any updates or changes to the dates via email. Any questions concerning the hydrilla control program can be addressed to Mark Lewandowski at mark.lewandowski@maryland.gov.
Below is a map showing the treatment locations (red outlines).
