Matt Kocian, Lake and Stream Program Manager, said: ÐWeÓre very excited for this project, and <br />confident that it will improve water quality conditions.Ñ If possible, the goal would be to complete the first ÐdoseÑ <br />of treatment as early as April of 2024, with a second dose programmed for the spring of 2026.
