• Pre-treatments surveys performed in conjunction with SePRO Corporation

• Plant samples were collected from several sites

• SePRO performs PlanTEST on Hydrilla to determine susceptibility of plants to Sonar (Fluridone)

• Final determination that Hydrilla from all test sites will be impacted at 3 – 5 parts per billion

  June 15, 2006

• Sonar treatments began

• Big Stonehouse, Little Stonehouse, Pretty Creek, Woodland Hurst, Sledge Creek, Lees Creek, and Jimmies Creek treatments were completed

  June 16, 2006

• Sites at Pea Hill, Pigeonroost, Songbird, Mill Creek, Great Creek, Sixpound and Jordan Creek treatments were completed

Total of 985 acres have been treated with Sonar.

  June 30, 2006

• FasTEST were collected to determine concentration of Sonar present in the water

Results are as follows (numbers represent parts per billion):

  July 5, 2006

• Second Sonar treatments began

• Big Stonehouse site treatment was completed

*Excessive rainfall, high water levels, additional treatments were postponed

  July 11, 2006

• Sites at Little Stonehouse, Pretty Creek, Woodland Hurst, Sledge Creek, Lees Creek treatments were completed

  July 12, 2006

• Sites at Jimmies Creek and Pea Hill treatments have been completed

  July 13, 2006

• Sites at Pigeonroost, Songbird, Mill Creek, Great Creek, Sixpound and Jordan Creeks treatments were completed

Total of 985 acres were treated with Sonar.

  July 25, 2006

• FasTEST were collected to determine concentration of Sonar present in the water

Results are as follows (numbers represent parts per billion):

  July 27, 2006

• Survey and site reviews with SePRO Corporation and North Carolina State University

• PLM and SePRO made determinations, based on FasTEST, to allocate Sonar from Great Creek to Little Stonehouse.  Little Stonehouse is a deep water basin and the additional concentration of Sonar has been applied to the immediate shoreline areas.

  August 1, 2006

• Sites at Big Stonehouse, Little Stonehouse, Pretty Creek, Woodland Hurst, Sledge Creek, and Lees Creek treatment were completed

  August 2, 2006

• Sites at Jimmies Creek and Pea Hill treatments were completed

  August 3, 2006

• Sites at Pigeonroost, Songbird, Mill Creek, Great Creek, Sixpound and Jordan Creeks treatments were completed

  August 19, 2006

• FasTEST were collected to determine concentration of Sonar present in the water.  The number of sample sites were reduced to reduce costs.  Additional test sites will be utilized in the fourth and final sampling cycle.

Results are as follows (numbers represent parts per billion):

• PLM and SePRO made determinations, based on FasTEST, to allocate Sonar from Great Creek to Little Stonehouse.  Also, the test results from Pretty Creek indicated a high concentration of Sonar.  Therefore the fourth application was not be necessary for that particular area.  However, Sonar was allocated to Woodland Hurst and Sledge Creek.  These areas are deep water basins and the additional concentration of Sonar has been applied to the immediate shoreline areas.

  August 29, 2006

• Sites at Big Stonehouse, Little Stonehouse, Woodland Hurst, Sledge Creek, and Lees Creek treatments were completed

  August 30, 2006

• Sites at Jimmies Creek and Pea Hill treatments were completed

  August 31, 2006

• Weather conditions, hurricane Alberto, delayed treatments.  Applications were postponed until the following week.

  September 4, 2006

• Sites at Pigeonroost, Songbird, Mill Creek, Great Creek, Sixpound and Jordan Creek treatments were completed

• Fourth and final treatments were completed.

• Areas of public use, boat ramps, and dry hydrants were treated with priority…several of these areas were included in the current site treatment scope.
