TREATMENTNOTICE

RESIDENTS IN THIS AREA ARE PLANNING TO HAVE THE WATERS IN THIS AREA TREATED WITH HERBICIDES AND ALGAECIDES FOR CONTROL OF AQUATIC WEEDS AND/OR ALGAE. This notice is being circulated as required by Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) rules. A permit for the treatment has either been secured or will be secured from the MDEQ before the work is begun. In some cases a permit is not required. You are receiving this notice if you are in the proposed treatment area, or if you are within 100 feet of the proposed treatment area. In some cases, we also provide this notice to persons in adjacent subdivisions as an informational courtesy to advise persons who may have beach rights but are not lakefront residents. We usually work with groups of homeowners or their elected representatives through homeowners associations, or with the owners of apartment or condominium units. Please try to contact any of these in your situation if you have any questions about the proposed treatment plan. Aqua-Weed Control, Inc. typically does two types of treatments: algae control and weed control. Algae Control - If we are doing only an algae control treatment using only copper based products then no water use restrictions apply. We will post the shoreline with yellow signs informing you of this work as required by the MDEQ.

q Lakes – Typically lake shorelines are treated twice during the summer. q Ponds - Expect several algae control treatments during the summer beginning in late April thru September.

Weed Control / Water Dye - If we are treating for weeds, using blue dye, or using some non-copper algae control products then there are restrictions on the use of the water, and we will post the shoreline with yellow signs before these products are applied to the water body as required by the MDEQ. We treat each water body according to a schedule or seasonal plan worked out between the persons in charge and an aquatic manager. A typical plan will include multiple treatments from May thru August and possibly September. However, due to the differences in season plans and the uncertainty of weather, please watch your shoreline for the posting of the yellow signs throughout the summer. Typical lake weed control treatment patterns:

q If your lake is to be treated with Fluridone then you can expect treatment in late April or early May and then again in mid May. q If your lake is to be treated for weeds using other herbicides then you can expect two treatments a summer. The first being in

late May or early to mid June. The second application typically is done in mid to late July or early August depending on weed growth patterns. In a few cases a third touch-up weed application may be required.

q Ponds are typically treated for weeds twice each summer. IN MOST CASES YOUR WATER BODY WILL BE TREATED MORE THAN ONCE EACH SEASON; CHECK THIS WITH YOUR ASSOCIATION. The posted signs will indicate the date of the treatment, the product name, the active ingredient and any restrictions as to the use of the water for swimming, watering lawns and the consumption of fish taken from these waters. We use NEW SIGNS for each treatment. When more than one product is used the restrictions longest limits will be posted. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT YOUR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION OR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE IN CHARGE OF THE TREATMENT OR YOUR APARTMENT OR CONDOMINIUM MANAGER. If they cannot answer your questions, we can be reached at the number on the other side of this notice. Only products which have been registered for use in the aquatic environment by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and the US Environmental Protection Agency are used. We anticipate using one or more of the products listed. Please be aware of the restrictions on each product. If the MDEQ changes any restrictions they will be noted on the signs we post.

ParksandIslandsbyRandyAndreen This past winter’s major “capital improvement” project was rocking the north and west sides of Kerry Island (large island on the north end of the lake where the Lobster Roast is held). The shoreline of this island is quite steep and much of the existing rocking had washed into the lake over the years due to boat wakes. An erosion barrier and rocking were placed along the shoreline to stabilize and protect the bank. Larger rocks were used which, hopefully, will hold in place better against the wave action. Spring and Summer are the times most people get out and use our Parks and Islands. As you do, remember to respect them and keep them clean. Please be diligent about taking your trash with you when you leave and keep our association property looking nice for all to enjoy.
