NOTICE
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife intends to start the rehabilitation of Vic Meyers and Park Lakes and connecting drainage in Grant County November 16 - 26, 2006.
The pesticide to be used is an organic, natural compound called rotenone. The pesticide and active ingredients to be used are powdered rotenone at 7.0-8.2% active ingredient and liquid rotenone at 5% active ingredient. The targeted total concentration of rotenone product in the water is less than or equal to 1 part per million for Park Lake and less than or equal to 4 parts per million for Vic Meyers Lake and the drainage to Park Lake. Lake rehabilitation involves the treatment of the water with rotenone to eradicate undesirable species of fish. The undesirable species of fish are yellow perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, brown bullheads, bluegill, and sculpins. These species have overpopulated the lakes and eliminated the desired trout fishery. Rotenone is non-persistent in the environment and not toxic to humans or livestock at levels used to eradicate fish.
Notices will be posted along the shorelines, public boat launches, and other areas of normal access to the water. Please obey the following use restrictions within the posted treatment area:
1) No fish can be taken and eaten from the lake during the treatment period.
2) Do not use water to irrigate crops during the treatment period.
3) Do not use as potable water source during the treatment period.
4) Do not swim in the lake until the rotenone product is thoroughly mixed.
The above list details the water use restrictions applicable to Park and Vic Meyers Lakes and connecting drainages for the duration of rotenone toxicity. Rotenone toxicity will persist for 3 to 8 weeks. Assays will be done to determine lake toxicity, and water use restrictions will be removed when the lake detoxifies.
For more information concerning the treatment, contact the applicator, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 2 Fish Program Manager - Joe Miller, or District Fish Biologist - Jeff Korth, at: 509-754-4624 or 509-760-5574.
The pesticide treatment is regulated under permit by the Washington Department of Ecology Water Quality Program, Eastern WA Regional Office (509) 329-3515. These pesticides have been approved for this purpose by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Washington Department of Agriculture.
