Officials: All aquatic plant management in Clear Lake requires a permit

LAKEPORT – The Lake County Aquatic Plant Management Permitting Program requires that all lakefront property owners wishing to chemically remove weeds in Clear Lake must contract with a licensed aquatic herbicide applicator to perform the work.


Both state law and federal law regulate who may apply herbicides and how those herbicides may be applied to waters of the state, which includes Clear Lake.


To remove weeds from Clear Lake, mechanically or chemically, property owners or the licensed applicator must obtain a permit from the Department of Public Works, Water Resources Division.


Currently, two licensed aquatic herbicide applicators are authorized to perform chemical weed management on Clear Lake:
