TSW Water Soldier Herbicide Control 2023

This project does not require posting on the IAA Registry as it is not a physical activity in relation to a physical work and therefore does not meet the definition of a project pursuant to the IAA. However, in accordance with PCA policy, physical activities of this nature require an Environmental Impact Assessment. With this, this project shall be assessed via a Basic Impact Assessment (BIA).

Parks Canada Agency (PCA), Ontario Waterways (ONW) is managing the spread of the aquatic invasive species Water Soldier (Stratiotes aloides) on the Trent-Severn Waterway (TSW). Water Soldier populations occur in the lower Trent River. This project will support work to control WS through herbicide control for 2023 in the TSW. Water soldier colonies reported during the 2022 summer field investigations on the TSW shall be targeted in the fall months (mid-September to mid-October) of 2023 with Reward® aquatic herbicide. The treatment area is approximately 160 hectares.
