| Comments | Landowner contacted and approved removal of plants after explaining consequences and potential threat to waterway and aquatic habitat. All plant material carefully removed and disposed. Plants easily detached and broke apart during collection, confirming infestation was not a recent "release" (e.g. aquarium or pond), but had been present and expanding for more than a single growing season.; EDDMapS report |
