Weed treatment is applied
annually, generally when the water reaches a temperature of approximately
65ºF. Additional spot treatments are applied as needed and as arranged
by RLI Board. Our weed treatment contractor is Aquatic Nuisance Plant
Control Inc. of Swartz Creek MI.
Our contractor provides the optimum treatment
while balancing the limitations of DNR/DEQ permits, the chemicals that are
allowed, the proximity and depth of wells, and the locations of the outlets
from the lake. All RLI members' spraying preferences and
requests, and all well locations and depths are provided to our contractor at
the beginning of each season.

A
Weed Treatment Notice
is provided to all RLI members each Spring, usually as part of the Spring
Newsletter. Members should check for colored (usually yellow) postings
around the lake indicating when weed treatment is applied and any restrictions
on fishing, swimming, lawn watering, and other limitations.
Please contact Ivan Quinn with any questions
regarding weed control.
