Here's something from the Grunter less than a month old:

"...the combination of hand harvesting and limited chemical treatment has reduced the stands of milfoil in Back Bay substantially. Eight days of harvesting using a diver and a Diver Assisted Suction Harvester (DASH) this year removed 4,800 gallons of plants between June and August. This will be followed by treatment with the herbicide 2,4-D on Sept. 15 in the five areas indicated on the aerial view of Back Bay that accompanies this article.

"Last year the entire area was treated with the herbicide, followed by five days of hand harvesting. Marschner says there are nine days of harvesting planned for 2010."
