The CMT is a test of multiple aquatic weed control methods that will be implemented in multiple test sites over a three to five year timeframe to determine what methods will likely achieve long-term control of weeds throughout the Tahoe Keys. Treatment methods being tested, both independently and in combination, include aquatic herbicides, ultraviolet light, benthic barriers, hand-pulling, diver assisted suction and laminar flow aeration. The monitoring program will help assess potential impacts (if any) to water quality, fate and transport of aquatic herbicides, presence of harmful algal blooms, and efficacy of the treatment methods.
