Re: 2016 Proposal/Agreement for an Herbicide Treatment Program to Control Invasive Aquatic Weed Growth in
Mine Falls Pond & Canal in Nashua, New Hampshire
Dear Mr. Caggiano:
Please accept this as our Bid/Proposal for a treatment program to control invasive fanwort (Cabomba caroliniana),
variable milfoil (Myriophyllum heterophyllum), Eurasian watermilfoil (MW. spicatum) and several other invasive
aquatic weeds in Mine Falls Pond & Canal in Nashua during the 2016 season.
INTRODUCTION AND RECOMMENDED TREATMENT APPROACH
SOLitude Lake Management {formerly Aquatic Control Technology) performed treatment programs using Clipper
(flumioxazin) and Reward (diquat) herbicides at Mine Falls Pond & Canal during the 2014 season. Treatment in
provided rapid control of the targeted invasive submersed weeds and nuisance-level control was maintained for
the majority of the summer season. Pre and post-treatment surveys documented that while the treatment
provided excellent control of fanwort and milfoil species using the combination treatment approach. Given the
success of this approach in 2014 we are recommending it again in Mine Falls Pond and Canal in 2016.
We have provided cost for treatment of Mine Falls Pond only (20 ac) as well as additional costs for treatment of an
additional 10 acres in the Canal. Regardless, we will prepare the NH DPC permit application requesting approval to
treat up to 30 acres in the pond and canal as necessary. Per acre cost for treatment have also been provided if
less treatment area is required/requested.
