permanent channel nor AAPCD permits. Failure to notify prior to beginning work or violation of other terms and conditions
of this permit, including failure to remove signs in a timely manner, shall be grounds for revocation of this permit or

ANNUAL SURVEY: The permittee or their agent must complete an annual survey indicating the actual treatment dates
and the amount and type of herbicide used no later than December 31st. The survey will be sent to you in the fall.
POSTING OF NOTICE SIGNS (OFFSHORE/LAKEWIDE): All areas in public waters treated with pesticides must be
posted with "Notice" signs prior to treatment in accordance with DNR posting instructions. Signs, and any buoys or
other structures to which the signs are attached, must be removed within seven days after the last water use restriction
has expired. After seven days, signs and associated buoys or structures will be considered to be litter.
NPDES/SDS PESTICIDE GENERAL PERMIT: If your property is on a lake that is located within the boundaries of an
Indian Reservation, then you are required to follow the conditions prescribed in EPA’s NPDES Pesticide General permit.

the control of Nuisance Aquatic Animals (MNG87C0000) and Vegetative Pests and Algae (MNG87D0000) administered
by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Compliance with the DNR permit will satisfy the requirements of the

ENFORCEMENT: Impacts to aquatic plants outside permitted area or without valid permit may result in enforcement
action.

any treatment method or operation nor does it stand as arbiter whether or not any such method or operation has been
satisfactory. This permit is permissive only and no liability shall be incurred by the State or by any of its offices, agents,
or employees by reason of the issuance of it or by reasons of acts or operations of the permittee. The permittee shall be
solely responsible for any damage or injury to persons, domestic or wild animals, waters, or property, real or personal of
any kind, resulting from the permittee's acts or operations, and at all times the State of Minnesota, its officers, agents,
