Well, any of you that are biologists. I have a concern and If you know the answer please post up. The DWR has been using herbicides to kill underwater growth that are chocking our waterways. The question I have is how safe are these herbicides to humans? And are the fish safe to consume? I am not asking for much, am I?  ;D

FYI O'niel Forebay has been sprayed in August this year and I was told it was a 3 year program.

Here is the link to the plan:
