ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING NOVEMBER 18, 2009 Ms. Bor stated the City should ban soil drench for all residents of the City of Lino Lakes as soil drench affects our water supply. She stated we are looking for injection and cutting of the trees. A methodology states it is better to inject. Citizen's need to be informed of what their options are and why some of the options may not be the best. Mr. Asleson stated we have a couple of years to plan for EAB infestation. We have time to make the right decisions.
