July 15 – re-treatment
July 15-19 – avoid irrigation inclusive
Solitude will be on site at Lake Diane to touch up areas that are needed for re-treatment. A survey was done along with participant reports and through our contract we will have those areas touched up to ensure the intended outcome of weed management.
Advice is to turn off irrigation systems for July 15-19 or as directed on the posted yard signs that will be put out in the coming days in areas of treatment.
Skin contact avoidance recommended for 24hrs – see yard postings for exact specifications in your area.

Map of participation
Flag Posting has occurred and is used for:
Flag placement will not be accurate to the lot lines of your property. Treatment is done via GPS navitgation. Flags are also places in regions to be treated and regions to not be treated. For example, 10 lots in a row may only have two flags. Flag color changes are there to help the navigators know boundaries of treat and skip (e.g. moving from a green section to a pink section means that is a boundary or vice versa) . Moving the flags will not cause a change in treatment as it is only used to help orient the navigators and not the GPS location of treatment. If you feel a section is grossly incorrect (ie. an entire area is skipped) please notify the LDCA board to have it corrected ASAP. An example of an error to notify is if there are no signs on your lots or neighbors lots and there is supposed to be a spray and non spray in that area. Another example would be if you see a color change pattern that does not map to the drawing above. Do not notify if your lot is missing a sign – check the signs around you to the map as it may be part of a larger region of multiple lots.
Here is an example flyer
Please ensure your irrigation systems are turned off Monday and follow the posting on your lawn or check back here or with LDCA for restrictions
The LDCA is happy to announce that the permit and logistics for approval for weed treatment has been granted.
The association has been made aware that there are reports of water fowl that have been subject to Avian Flu. This is a harmful virus that can affect humans.
{updated}
Regarding Canada Goose population. We. have elected to continue to pursue nest destruction this year under permit and by trained officials. If you notice a nesting pair, do NOT approach or interrupt their nest. If it very important to manage the nesting a specific way otherwise the birds will re-nest in a more hidden location and avoid population control. Please Notify someone with LDCA with the location of the pair so we can have a trained official assess the nest and condition of any eggs.
