The scheduled herbicide treatment at Deep Creek Lake will be performed today, August 19. For full details regarding these efforts, please visit the Maryland Department of Natural Resources website. During the treatment process, boaters and other waterway users are asked to stay clear of the treatment boat 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.
A map showing the treatment locations as red polygons can be seen below.
