DESCRIPTION:Before you remove aquatic plants from a public lake\, check wit
 h the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. You may need a permit befor
 e proceeding. State law requires that residents of a public lake who want 
 to chemically control or physically remove aquatic plants along more than 
 25 feet of their shoreline\, a total surface area of more than 625 square 
 feet\, or at water depths greater than 6 feet\, must first obtain a writte
 n permit from the DNR. Residents who treat less than the specified amount 
 do not need a permit. \n\nThis allows property owners to control small are
 as of aquatic plants around piers and swimming areas that may interfere wi
 th lake use. \n\n"Aquatic plants play an important role in lake ecology\,"
  according to Rod Edgell\, DNR assistant fisheries biologist\; "however\, 
 removing plants is sometimes necessary to allow residents and anglers acce
 ss to the lake."\n\nWhen using any pesticide\, it's important to follow th
 e product's label directions\, and only use herbicides registered for aqua
 tic habitats. Improper use of any aquatic herbicide is not only illegal\, 
 but can be hazardous to humans and aquatic life. \n\nIn most cases\, permi
 ts to chemically control aquatic plants are granted only to licensed pesti
 cide applicators who have knowledge and training in the proper use of pest
 icides.\n \n"We recommend that lake residents combine their resources and 
 hire a licensed applicator for large-scale treatments\," Edgell said. "App
 licators are trained to properly identify target plants and use the most a
 ppropriate herbicide."\n\nIn most cases\, permits are issued only for cont
 rol of non-native plants such as Eurasian watermilfoil and curly-leaf pond
 weed. Native plants seldom interfere with lake use\, and are rarely treate
 d on a large scale. \n\nPermit applications are available at the Northeast
  Regional Office\, 1353 S. Governors Drive\, Columbia City\, IN 46725\, or
  (260) 244-6805. Application fee is $5. Processing may take up to six week
 s\, so plan accordingly. \n\nQuestions regarding pesticides and their use 
 should be directed to your local Purdue University County Extension Office
 . The location of your county extension office can be obtained at extensio
 n.purdue.edu/extsite/counties.shtml\, or 1-888-398-4636.
