The first of four Deep Creek Lake hydrilla herbicide treatments is scheduled to take place on Monday, June 8. Treatment is always subject to change due to weather conditions. During the treatment process, boaters are asked to stay clear of the treatment boat while it is underway so that the proper dosage of herbicide can be administered. Once applied, there are no recreational restrictions associated with the herbicide. Additionally, dive teams will be on the lake periodically throughout the summer, with divers in the water monitoring the hydrilla emergence and response to the herbicide. If you see red and white dive flags, please stay at least 100 feet away as divers are in the water.
Follow-up emails will notify you of any changes to the proposed date. We will provide as much advance notice as possible but please understand that changes can be made up to the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances and changing weather conditions.
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. Any questions concerning the hydrilla control program can be addressed to Mark Lewandowski at mark.lewandowski@maryland.gov.
