South Dundas 2023 weed spraying map
THE COUNTIES, Ontario – As part of the region’s vegetation management program, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, and local municipalities, will be spraying noxious weeds.
The work is scheduled to start May 15 and should be completed by mid-June depending on weather conditions.
Spraying occurs from the edge of the gravel shoulder to within one metre of the property limits and uses selective, Government of Canada-approved herbicides to control the growth of undesirable vegetation. The contractor performing the work is fully licensed. Spraying occurs in areas identified during regular weed audits.
Residents can digitally identify where they have installed ‘no-spray’ signs on the Counties’ website. This information will be provided to the contractor.
More information about the program, roads and guiderails that will be treated, how to erect “no spray” signs in front of your property and notify the Counties of signs can be found at sdgcounties.ca/services/transportation/weed-control.
“The program which will be undertaken targets unmaintained rural roadsides where the proliferation of weeds can impact adjacent fields,” said Benjamin de Haan, Director of Transportation Services. “The roads that have been selected for treatment are roads with the highest weed pressures.”
