Herbicide Application on Lake Columbia- 4-1-20
HERBICIDE APPLICATION UNDERWAY TO TREAT GIANT SALVINIA ON LAKE COLUMBIA.
Today is the second day of herbicide application on Giant Salvinia which has infested Lake Columbia. Lochow should wrap up the initial application on Thursday.

SPRAYING OF GIANT SALVINIA TO BEGIN WEEK OF MARCH 30TH ON LAKE COLUMBIA.
The following is a press release from the Columbia County Rural Development Authority, which manages Lake Columbia:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Herbicide application is scheduled for the week of March 30th on Lake Columbia. The Columbia County Rural Development Authority (RDA) has contracted with Lochow Ranch Pond and Lake Management LLC (Lochow) of Bryan, Texas to treat the invasive plant, giant salvinia, which was recently discovered on Lake Columbia.
Lochow has extensive experience treating giant salvinia; they have been treating Caddo Lake and Toledo Bend since 2016. Lochow will use spray boats with high pressure pumps to treat the giant salvinia with a mix of two herbicides, Clipper SC (flumioxazin) and Galleon SC (penoxsulam). Both herbicides are registered with the Arkansas State Plant Board; neither has a consumption restriction.
Lake Columbia will remain open to recreational activities during the herbicide application. But the RDA requests that fishermen, boaters and others steer clear of the spray boats when they are applying the herbicides. If you are in the path of the spray boats, please move to allow a thorough treatment. After the spray boats pass, you may return to the area, as the herbicides dissipate quickly.
The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) has concurred with the RDA’s plan of action with the following conditions: only the two approved herbicides may be used; the treatment will be coordinated with the City of Magnolia so that the lake will not be utilized for drinking water during periods of herbicide treatment; following herbicide
