News & Notes
May 2008: Water Quality Charts on the Web – A quick assessment of your lake’s health can be determined by monitoring two things: water clarity and dissolved oxygen. We have posted on our website graphs charting these two key parameters measured at 100 of our lakes during the 2007 growing season. These charts and valuable information on how to interpret water clarity and dissolved oxygen results can be found under the Water Quality Assessment & Monitoring section of our website.
March 2008: Allied Biological awarded 250+ acre Renovate OTF application in New York - Allied Biological was recently awarded a bid by Schuyler County to eradicate the invasive plant Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) in 639-acre Lamoka and 813-acre Waneta Lake using Renovate 3 and Renovate OTF. These lakes, located within the Finger Lakes region of New York west of Watkins Glen, will be the first ever to receive applications of Renovate OTF in the state. Renovate has a proven track record of controlling watermilfoil in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other states throughout the country. Excited about the opportunity to provide a new technology management alternative for this ever-growing problem in New York, Allied is slated to begin work in late April or early May 2008.
