Title

Water Hyacinth Control Program

Description

CDFW has executed lake and streambed alteration agreement no. 1600-2015-0132-R3, pursuant to section 1602 of the fish and game code to the project applicant, CA State Parks, Division of Boating and Waterways. There are approximately 300 sites that average between 1 and 2 miles in length and range from 5 to 1,700 water acres. In any given year, CDBW will remove water hyacinth from only a portion of the total sites. Activities for this project are limited to physical removal using hand picking and herding and mechanical methods of removal for water hyacinth. Floating booms may be used to "herd" water hyacinth. CDBW will also conduct pre and post season surveys to identify locations and coverage of water hyacinth. These formal surveys will be supplemented with mid season evaluations of water hyacinth coverage.
