The State of NH preferred alternative for getting rid of milfoil is to use 2,4 D amine herbicide. The label on this product says DANGER and that it is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. I am an island lakefront property owner in an area where milfoil is rampant. My water comes from the lake and I am exposed to this poison against my will.
There is such hypocrisy from DES on this issue.
On the one hand under the shoreland protection act they have taken almost all my property rights in the name of water protection. On the other hand they actively support dumping herbicide with a danger label directly into the lake. This year they dumped more of this stuff that ever before. Now there is a proposal to make me pay to have this done?
Wow!
