Postponed Hydrilla Treatments on Kissimmee Chain

October 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Hydrilla treatments that were planned to start this week on the Kissimmee Chain have been postponed because of high water levels and currents following from the 8-12 inches of rain between Oct. 8-10.

“Everything is on hold,” Ed Harris of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said Tuesday.

Helicopters were scheduled to start spraying the herbicide Aquathol K on Lake Kissimmee and Lake Cypress starting on Tuesday.

But Harris said it could be late November before treatments begin. Details are still being formulated, with the start of duck season and snail kite nesting factors.

Treatments by airboat were also scheduled to start on Lake Toho Nov. 1, and by helicopter on Lake Hatchineha Nov. 28, but all have been delayed.
