The FY 2027 proposed budget allocates $60,500 to the R&M-Aquatic Weed Control line, equal to the FY 2026 level, and the budget narrative lists a range of herbicides (Alligare, Aquaneat, Argos, Cutrine, Diquat, Hydrolthol, Tribune) used for aquatic weed control. Combined with the recent introduction of grass carp, this indicates a substantial, ongoing integrated vegetation management program across the District’s lakes and canals. The budget does not name specific chemical vendors or service providers, leaving room for suppliers and aquatic management firms to compete for chemical sales, application services, and monitoring.Vendors can position themselves as partners who can help the District optimize chemical mixes, reduce overall herbicide usage via biological controls, and document environmental compliance while staying within the $60,500 annual budget.

Narrative lists specific herbicide products, indicating established treatment practices that may nonetheless be open to optimization.
