The first application of the season for Cayuga Inlet is scheduled for Tuesday, July 29th, starting at 8:00 a.m., at which time the Inlet will be closed to boat traffic for at least 24 hours. An email message will be sent out once the Inlet has reopened.

 

The herbicide Aquathol K (active ingredient dipotassium endothall 40.3%) will be applied in the Cayuga Inlet, the Flood Control Channel, the Treman Marina and the lower reaches of Cascadilla Creek and Six Mile Creek. The herbicide is applied below the surface of the water, using a boat where possible and backpack sprayers in less accessible areas. The application is expected to be completed by the end of the day, however it could be delayed until the end of day Wed due to weather or mechanical issues.
