Fighting hydrilla on Lake George The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has developed a three-pronged plan to help stem the spread of the non-native aquatic plant hydrilla in Lake Walter F. George. The plan includes: • Releasing sterile grass carp, which feed on the plant, at a stocking rate of 12 fish per acre of vegetated hydrilla. The plan assumes that up to three fish per acre of hydrilla would be stocked every five to seven years. • Continuing chemical treatment at minimal levels. • Encouraging establishment of native aquatic plants through plantings. The agency plans to begin stocking grass carp in July.
For more information contact the Corps at 229- 768-2516 or contact Katie Burge at 251-694-4109 or talmadge.k.burge@us.arm y.mil regarding the environmental assessment.
