The use of ProcellaCOR FX in managing Eurasian Watermilfoil in Christina Lake

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) in collaboration with Keefer Ecological Services (KES), is exploring the potential use of selective aquatic herbicide, ProcellaCOR FX, in managing infestations of Eurasian Watermilfoil in Christina Lake. Before moving forward, the RDKB wishes to hear from you – your input is important!

Public engagement sessions will be held in the community over the course of the summer with residents, First Nations, and the public. These sessions will offer a chance to learn more about ProcellaCOR FX and to share your thoughts, opinions and feedback.

In addition to these engagement sessions, an information package is available in the document section of this page (TOP, RIGHT HAND SIDE COLUMN). Take a look before completing the online survey below.

Click HERE to Take the Community Survey: The use of ProcellaCOR FX in managing Eurasian watermilfoil in Christina Lake

This survey is designed to gather community input regarding the potential use of ProcellaCOR FX in Christina Lake to manage Eurasian watermilfoil. In recent years, Eurasian watermilfoil infestations have grown more dense and widespread, negatively impacting recreational activities, cultural and traditional values, native flora and fauna, and more. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) is exploring the potential use of a highly selective herbicide, ProcellaCOR FX, to help effectively control Eurasian watermilfoil infestations.

Your needs, interests, and opinions provided through this survey will help guide the RDKB in ensuring that community values and concerns remain central to the decision-making process as they explore options for effectively addressing the spread of Eurasian watermilfoil in Christina Lake.

All Christina Lake community members are encouraged to participate in the survey by 1 October.

Thank you,

KES and your team at the RDKB

There was never a link to the information package? I have moved the document section to the top of the right hand column so it is easier to find.
Share The issue at the south end of the lake in front of the Kootenay Robusters Boathouse is Fragrant Waterlily. There is milfoil as well but the water lily has cause damage to the dragon boat when the steering oar got caught in the stems. We would like to cover a small area in front of our boat house with a benthic mat so that we will have a clear path to paddle into the lake. Would that be a reasonable thing to do? on Facebook Share The issue at the south end of the lake in front of the Kootenay Robusters Boathouse is Fragrant Waterlily.
