By: SOLitude Lake Management At The 2102 SePRO conference this past December, SOLitiude Lake Management received five "Seeing is Believing" awards. Shannon Junior, Aquatic Ecologist, received three awards for her work and David Ellison, Aquatic Biologist, and Kyle Finerfrock, Environmental Scientist, also each received an award. The award recipients submitted before and after photos with a detailed summary of treatment of the water body including reason for treatment and chosen course of action, treatment and water body specifics, weather conditions, map of the water body or wetland and treatment area, water quality, end user satisfaction, and special circumstances. “I am very proud to have our employees work and our company's standards of excellence recognized by a trusted source in our industry,” said owner and president, Kevin Tucker. Shannon Junior submitted details and photos for Chapel Springs Farm, a 1,500 acre agricultural property in Free Union, Virginia. This property, which was primarily used for grazing horses and hay production, included a large lake used for swimming and fishing. The lake was over taken by aquatic weeds, so the recreational use became limited. The owners agreed to use a low impact environmental herbicide program with SePRO's Sonar Q and were extremely satisfied with the results. David Ellison submitted details and photos for Kings Fork Farm community stormwater ponds which are located in Suffolk, Virginia. The larger of the stormwater ponds had been taken over by filamentous algae and were an ecological issue as well as an eyesore to the community. SePRO's Captain XTR was used so successfully that only one treatment was needed and the project came in well under budget. Shannon Junior submitted details and photos for Pond 2 in the Lansdowne Community located in Loudoun Country, Virginia. This pond was continually plagued by several algae blooms. A trial with a new product, Phoslock, was used in conjunction with the herbicide program already in progress, helping to greatly improve the health of the pond. As a result of the wonderful results, it will be added to the treatment strategy moving forward. Kyle Finerfrock submitted details and photos for Vineterra Golf Course in New Kent, Virginia. The irrigation pond located within the golf course property was neglected for over a year and was covered in algae. SePRO's SeClear was applied and over two treatments the entire algae bloom had died and did not return for the remainder of the season. Shannon Junior submitted details and photos for the Lightner Road Pond in Prince William County, Virginia. This pond was covered in watermeal with minor algae and slender pondweed growth. The owners planned to irrigate from the pond once it had returned to a healthy state. Sonar Genesis was applied and FasTEST samples were performed. After a few treatments the owners could finally use the pond as they intended.
