TLAC's Aquatic Vegetation Treatment Program

Since 2002, TLAC has handled the treatment program for aggressive non-native aquatic vegetation in Smith Mountain Lake.  TLAC does not have a treatment program for nuisance non-native aquatic vegetation (such as Brittle naiad).  Residents interested in treatment for Brittle naiad should contact a licensed aquatic herbicide contractor.
