The Missouri Department of Conservation paid for drones to treat lily pads at D.C. Rogers and Peters Lakes, both of which are owned by the City of Fayette.
The excessive vegetation growth hampers recreational activities such as fishing and boating and quickly became unmanageable.
The city explored bids to eradicate the lily pads with the application of a herbicide that will not cause harm to fish or the lake. One bid exceeded $70,000. The Missouri Department of Conservation agreed to not only pay for the chemical solution, but for the application which was performed with drones by Agri Spray Drones, LLC.
D.C. Rogers Lake is widely used throughout the summer for fishing and camping. The city hopes to one day add a swimming beach.
