will be conducted using the herbicide, Reward. Boat trails will be maintained using the herbi-
cides, Glyphosate and Aquathol Super K.
People using treated areas of Lake Rousseau for domestic purposes or for irrigation
are cautioned that treated water should not be used for a period of 5 days in Reward treated
areas, and for 7 days in Aquathol Super K treated areas. No livestock watering for 1 day in
Reward treated areas. Lake water should not be used for drinking (this does not apply to tap

activities and protect native plant habitat in Florida waters. For additional information, con-
tact the FDEP at (352) 726-8622.
