Experienced State Certified Applicators can perform various types of control for nuisance submersed, floating, and/or emergent plant species, as well as algae control.  ANPC/Northern Division only uses aquatic products that are registered and approved by the regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA), and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ).

Invasive Emergent Phragmites Control  

Phragmites, phragmites australis, is becoming more invasive with each passing season in the Great Lakes Region out competing native more beneficial wetland plant species.  The environmentally degrading wetland and coastal plant can be permitted for herbicide treatment, followed by mowing.  Our company has the capabilities to provide the permitted herbicide application, and then work together with a responsible contractor for the final season mowing process.  To find out more information "click" areas of interest provided below or go to the MDEQ website www.michigan .gov/deq

Sampling can provide valuable information regarding the health of a waterbody or its surrounding environment.  Many different parameters can be measured to provide data when making watershed determinations.

Aeration Systems:  

Sub-surface aeration such as bubblers can be advantagous in supplementing oxygen to an existing waterbody suffering from low levels. 

Surface water movement can be achieved by the addition of a fountain, which is also aesthetically pleasing to both see and hear.  ANPC/Northern Division offers a complete line of fountains, surface and sub-surface aeration systems, as well as an extensive line of accessories.  Custom installation, removal, and seasonal storage services can also be provided.
