Okanagan Basin Water Board Eurasian Watermilfoil Control Program James Littley Operations and Grants Manager (250)

Okanagan Basin Water Board Eurasian Watermilfoil Control Program Robs Oxygen and lowers water quality Restricts native fish habitat and promotes algae blooms Causes unsightly, smelly mess on beaches Lowers property values and discourages tourism

Okanagan Basin Water Board Eurasian Watermilfoil Control Program Summer harvesting – like mowing grass – no permanent effect Needs to be removed from water and beaches Transfer sites should be near work area

Okanagan Basin Water Board Eurasian Watermilfoil Control Program Winter rototilling – removes dormant root fragments Not permitted in all areas Has multi-year cumulative effect, but not permanent

Okanagan Basin Water Board Eurasian Watermilfoil Control Program Operational Needs Boat Launches for large equipment Milfoil transfer sites accessible from land and water Designated safe moorage

Okanagan Basin Water Board Eurasian Watermilfoil Control Program More than just Eurasian milfoil in the water Public swimming and boating areas get priority treatment over private docks Cost $0.01 per $1,000 property value to run this program.
