DNR Buffer Strip Permitted Uses

 

 
May 29, 2013
Greetings,
 
The 2013 summer season is here.  We hope you and your friends have an enjoyable summer at DCL.  We want to remind you that the General Membership Meeting of the POA, which is open to the public will be held on Saturday, June 22 at the Garrett 8 Cinemas.  Coffee and refreshments will be available at 8:00 AM and the meeting will begin promptly at 8:30 AM. 


Some of our members have returned to their homes to find that the Sandy left behind storm damage that now has to be cleared.  Some of that damage is in the buffer strip and even into the lake.  DNR has been working with property owners in permitting the removal of this storm damage.  It is important that you work with DNR and file a permit request to do any work in the buffer strip.  The POA website has a link to the DNR Buffer Strip Regulations and Permits .

The Policy Review Board (PRB) and the Lake Management Office have been made aware of a general mailing advertising a general aquatic herbicide for use on Sub Aquatic Vegetation (SAV). The PRB and DNR have discussed and continue to discuss the use of herbicides in the lake but at this time DNR does not plan to use any herbicide in DCL.  For more information about this, please see the PRB News at the POA website.  The leadership of both the PRB and the Lake Management office are concerned that people may think they can use this product in DCL.  PRB and DNR reminds everyone that it is illegal to use any chemicals in the lake without Lake Managment approval.


Within the next few days you will be receiving the Spring issue of the POA Dispatch filled with news about POA activities.  Past issues of the Dispatch can be found here.

We look forward to seeing you at the General Membership Meeting on June 22.

Sincerely,

Troy Ellington

President
