CMT OVERVIEW
The CMT permit requires that water be flowing into the Keys from the lake during the herbicide application period. When does this normally occur? When does water typically start flowing out of the Keys into Lake Tahoe?
Why not test the entire Keys right now?
How do you decide on which lagoons/areas to test?
Are the herbicides safe for humans, pets, and wildlife?
There was mention that 10% of the area of the Keys Lagoons area is being tested. Is that percentage just for herbicides?

Is this the only test or will there be more?
In future, will the application of herbicide require similar restrictions?
