Local lampricide plans spark riverfront resident concerns
Tim Van Reenen, downstream from Kakabeka Falls, urges more proactive notices before lampricide applications. The commission notes treatments last 48 to 72 hours, potentially a week, to control sea lamprey with minimal environmental risk. The Kaministiquia River has had 18 lampricide doses since 1960, and $540,000 funds a permanent sea lamprey trap on the Neebing River to improve safety and consistency.
