LWMC APPROVES HYDRILLA MANAGEMENT PLAN
Hydrilla is an exceptionally aggressive and persistent invasive water plant that is considered to be the most troublesome aquatic plant in the United States. The Lake Wylie Marine Commission partnered with Duke Energy Lake Services to develop a Lake Wylie Marine Commission Hydrilla Management Plan. The plan is a long term strategy to reduce the current 90+ acre hydrilla infestation in the lake and to control it for the long term using sterile Asian grass carp and herbicide sprays.
