LittLine Aquatic Pesticide Application Technology.mov

BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES (BAT) TO MEET THE 2011 NPDES PESTICIDES GENERAL PERMIT (NPDES PGP) REQUIREMENTS

The LittLine® is a Patent Pending Littoral Zone Treatment Technology that was developed to support increased efficacy from aquatic pesticide applications for the control of Aquatic Invasive Species (aquatic vegetation, cyanobacteria, mussels and fish). The 2011 NPDES PGP will require that all permittees minimize discharges through the use of the lowest effective amount of pesticides.

Through the use of the LittLine® technology, aquatic pesticide applications can target any portion of the water column, rather than the entire water column, thus allowing increased efficacy through the use of the lowest effective amount of pesticides in compliance with the 2011 NPDES PGP requirements.

The LittLine® has been used to control Hydrilla in Florida (25% aquatic herbicide reduction) and Georgia, and Eurasian Watermilfoil in California, Idaho, Montana and Wisconsin with up to a 50% reduction in aquatic herbicide use and increased efficacy in some areas (2008 Pend Oreille System, Pack River Idaho).
