Specific small coves and shoreline areas of Webster Lake were chemically treated with USEPA/MA registered aquatic herbicides on Thursday, May 14th to control nuisance and invasive aquatic vegetation. The total treatment area was very small (about 3% of the lake’s total area). These treatment areas only, were closed to all water uses (including swimming, fishing & boating) on the day of treatment. In addition, a map of the lake showing the treated/restricted areas were posted at the State Boat Launch and Memorial Beach boat launch area.Printed signs, warning of these and any other water use restrictions, wereposted (along the treatment/effected areas only) in advance of treatment. The work was performed under a License to Apply Chemicals permit issued from MA DEP and an Order of Conditions from the Webster Conservation Commission. Aquatic Control Technology, Inc., of Sutton performed the work for the Webster Lake Association.
