Notice The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) intends to chemically rehabilitate June Lake, North-North Windmill Lake, North Windmill Lake, Windmill Lake, and Canal Lake in Grant County October 9th – 12th, 2023. Typically, lake/stream rehabilitations only take one to three days to complete. However, treatments may take more time depending upon weather, equipment breakdowns, logistical constraints, and/or water quality conditions.    The pesticide to be used is an organic and naturally occurring compound called rotenone. Rotenone is non-persistent in the environment and non-toxic to humans, livestock, and other warm-blooded animals at levels used to eradicate fish. The pesticide and active ingredients to be used are powdered rotenone at 5.0-9.0% active ingredient and liquid rotenone at 5.0% active ingredient. The targeted total concentration of rotenone product in the water is less than or equal to 4.0 parts per million. Lake/stream rehabilitation involves the treatment of water with rotenone to eradicate undesirable fish species. The undesirable fish species targeted in the treatment are Largemouth Bass, Bluegill Sunfish, and Pumpkinseed Sunfish. The objective of this project is removal of nuisance fish species and restoration of a popular recreational fishery.   During treatment, notices will be posted along the shorelines and other areas of normal access to the lake/stream. Please obey the following water use restrictions within the marked treatment areas: 1.) No fish can be taken or eaten from the lake/stream during the treatment period. 2.)Do not use water to irrigate crops during the treatment period. 3.)Do not use the lake/stream as a potable water source during treatment period. 4.)Do not swim in the lake/stream until the product is thoroughly mixed. The above list details the water use restrictions applicable to the aforementioned waters for the duration of rotenone toxicity. Rotenone toxicity normally lasts one to eight weeks but may persist longer depending upon water quality conditions. Assays will be conducted to determine lake/stream toxicity, and water use restrictions will be removed when the water detoxifies. For more information concerning the treatment, contact the applicator(s), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Fish Biologist – Mike Schmuck at: 509.398.7531. This pesticide treatment is regulated under permit by the Washington Department of Ecology Water Quality Program; Shawn Ultican, Fisheries Resource Management NPDES Permit Manager (360) 870-3492. These pesticides have been approved for this purpose by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Washington Department of Agriculture. #09047/14410 Pub: September 22, 2023
