We have been monitoring standing water in the known habitats in the Scotch Creek-Lee Creek area weekly since May 16.  To date, we have completed ground treatments on just under 9ha of flooded habitat.  We have done two aerial treatments of the habitat at the end of Hilliam Rd in the Scotch Creek delta (total 69 ha).

A crew will be out this weekend to check the sites again.  Shuswap Lake water level is still climbing, (very slowly) and it is likely to reach its final peak soon. Once the waters start to recede, we expect that there will be very few, if any, new larval hatches.
