Working with Lycott Environental, our consultant, we have completed our application for a permit to use the herbicide triclopyr in Lake Fairlee early next June. On December 1st we filed it with the State Department of Environmental Conservation.
You can download a copy HERE. It is a hefty 75 pages, but a significant portion is duplication of information available elsewhere. In the interests of the environment, you might want to print less than the whole thing. Pages 4-7 are the application questionaire, and pages 38-55 contain the “meat” of how the planned herbicide application will be conducted, and what it will cost.
The application process includes actual notice to the abutting landowners, the downstream landowners, and the three surrounding towns. There will be a period for public comments, and an opportunity for public hearings. We will try to publicize this process at every step along the way.
