Introducing the TIGERCAT Aquatic Work Boat
• Sediment Removal Equipment that can reach 80 ft. • Aquatic Treatment Control of Weeds, Cattails in the Water • Design and Construction of Lakes, Docks, and Bridges • Aeration Installation, Surface and Air Pad
The Tigercat is a new tool for lake and pond owners. Equipped with a side mounted cutter, a loader, and a harvester belt Tigercat gives us the ability to cut and remove heaver weed growth under the water (down to 5ft) near the shore and up on the shore, cattails, shore weeds up to 3ft on shore, blackberries.

belt into a waiting trailer to be hauled off. Tigercat allows us to mix a good mechanical solution with reduced chemical use, or for customers that cannot use herbicides Tigercat will provide weed load reduction, which reduces parasitic water loss to large plants in your pond. For customers with expensive landscape, grass, and structures you finally have a service solution without the major cost of grounds repair. For people with the red plant (azolla) we can remove it quickly in to a trailer, no more dumping on shore for you to handle.

DLD SATISFIED CUSTOMER
Karen Chesney, is a homeowner and member of the lake committee on a five acre lake in Loomis. “Living next to a lake was one of the driving reasons for purchasing our property -it is serene and beautiful. But with that, there are challenges to keeping the lake pristine. That’s why we need \the expertise and management of DLD Service. Due to the warm weather and lack of rain, the last three years have been difficult. Dana Andrews, President of DLD, brought a fresh progressive and plan to us. They have a long-term vision that aims to reduce chemical use, install aeration, and improve the overall aquatic environment so we may enjoy the lake for many years to come!” Salute to emergency responders - another auburn journal publication - October 2015 - 3

The firefighters in our area spent countless days away from their families this year as they battled numerous blazes across the state, including the Butte Fire, Humboldt lightning fires and the Valley Fire. That’s why our heroes are police officers, firefighters, emergency room staff, sheriff’s deputies, flight nurses, the helicopter crews and all the first responders.
