Specific small coves and shoreline areas of Webster Lake were chemically treated with USEPA/MA registered aquatic herbicides on Thursday, June 25th to control nuisance and invasive aquatic vegetation, specifically Variable Milfoil. The total treatment area was 38 acres (approximately 3% of the lake’s total area).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 this work for the Webster Lake Association.
Informal survies will be conducted during the summer by both WLA members and ACT to determine the progress of all the treatments. A formal survey of the Lake will occur in September.
