Where should notices of aquatic pesticide application be posted for multi-owner private waters?

Notices of aquatic pesticide application must be posted on each private lot adjacent to the treatment area to ensure that all property owners and residents in proximity to the treatment area are informed. This practice promotes transparency and safety by ensuring that anyone who may be affected by the application can take necessary precautions.

By placing notices on each adjoining lot, communication about the timing and nature of the pesticide application is maximized. This is particularly important for multi-owner private waters where multiple individuals may have rights to the water use and may not be aware of pesticide applications that could impact them.

Other options do not provide adequate notification to all those who might be affected. For example, posting only at the main entrance might not reach individual property owners who live further from that location. Posting only on the treatment area ignores the potential risks to those who may be adjacent to the water. Similarly, suggesting that no notice is required if signed by the owner would potentially overlook the rights and safety of neighboring property owners who may not be informed of the treatment. Thus, the comprehensive approach of posting notices on each adjacent private lot is essential for community awareness and safety.
