Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands

Project is Located:

SULLIVAN, MADISON COUNTY

Project Description:

The project sponsor proposes the application of herbicide within a previously disturbed area of NYS Freshwater Wetland MA-4, a Class 3 wetland, to treat a large patch of phragmites on the central portion of a new wetland restoration. The herbicide, Roundup Custom (glyphosate isopropylamine salt), will be applied during low wind and dry weather conditions, minimizing drift. There will be no spraying near visibly standing water. Herbicide applicators will use a low-pressure setting, and phragmite vegetation will be specifically targeted to prevent drift into soil, water, and non-target organisms. The treatment area covers a 10.7-acre portion of the 97-acre conservation easement located located between the Erie Canal and Kinderhook Road, Madison County, NY.
