Control of Variable Watermilfoil in Bashan Lake, CT with 2,4-D: Monitoring of Lake and Well Water.

Variable watermilfoil (Myriophyllum heterophyllum Michx.) has recently become a problem in Bashan Lake, East Haddam, CT, USA. By 1998, approximately 4 ha of the 110 ha lake was covered with variable watermilfoil. In 1999, the milfoil was spot treated with Aquacide®, an 18% active ingredient of the sodium salt of 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid], applied at a rate of 114 kg/ha. Aquacide® was used because labeling regarding domestic water intakes and irrigation limitations prevented the use of Navigate® or AquaKleen®, a 19% active ingredient of the butoxyethyl ester of 2,4-D. Variable watermilfoil was partially controlled in shallow protected coves but little control occurred in deeper more exposed locations. 2,4-D levels in the treatment sites were lower than desired and offsite dilution was rapid. In 2000, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) issued a special local need (SLN) registration to allow the use of Navigate ® or AquaKleen® in lakes with potable and irrigation water intakes. Navigate® was applied at a rate of 227 kg/ha to the same areas as treated in 1999. An additional 2 ha of variable watermilfoil was treated with Navigate® in 2001, and 0.4 ha was treated in mid-September. Dilution of the 2,4-D ester formulation to untreated areas was slower than with the salt formulation. Concentrations of 2,4-D exceeded 1000 μg/ L in several lake water samples in 2000 but not 2001. Nearly all of the treated variable watermilfoil was controlled in both years. The mid-September treatment appeared as effective as the spring and early summer treatments. Testing of homeowner wells in all 3 years found no detectable levels of 2,4-D.(PDF contains 8 pages.)

Projecto n. 48, Sessão de 4 de agosto de 1884 : parecer n. 48A, formulado em nome das Commissões Reunidas de Orçamento e Justiça Civil, acerca do projecto de emancipação dos escravos

Rui de Oliveira Barbosa, jurisconsulto e estadista, nasceu em Salvador, em 1849, e morreu em Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, em 1923. Iniciou o curso de Direito na Faculdade do Recife, em 1866, concluindo-se na Faculdade de Direito de São Paulo, em 1870. Entusiasta da campanha abolicionista, escreveu artigos, ainda como estudante, no jornal o Radical Paulistano e no Diário da Bahia. Elegeu-se deputado-geral pela Bahia, em 1878. Destacando-se nas discussões sobre as eleições diretas, abolição da escravatura e reforma do ensino. Com a Proclamação da República, foi nomeado Ministro da Fazenda do Governo Provisório e Vice-Presidente da República, quando defendeu a primeira Constituição da República na imprensa e no Parlamento. Em 1891, foi eleito Senador pela Bahia, mandato que desempenhou até sua morte, em 1923. Rui Barbosa foi autor dos decretos da proclamação da Bandeira Nacional, da liberdade de cultos e de tantos outros que estruturaram as instituições democráticas brasileiras. Em 1907, chefiou a delegação do Brasil à II Conferência da Paz, em Haia, onde defendeu o princípio da igualdade entre as nações. Sócio fundador da Academia Brasileira de Letras, foi eleito seu presidente, cargo que ocupou até 1919. Rui Barbosa não foi apenas notável como jurisconsulto, mas também como orador, conferencista, jornalista e escritor. Sendo considerado, hoje, um dos grandes clássicos da língua portuguesa. Projecto n. 48... de julho de 1884, traz, na íntegra, o projeto de lei, do qual Rui Barbosa foi relator, que objetivava abolir a escravatura no Brasil, mas que foi rejeitado pela Câmara dos Deputados. De acordo com Sacramento Blake, esse projeto foi publicado no Diário Oficial e depois em outra fontes da Corte.
