The Nedre Dalälven application process is at the stage where the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has now forwarded our request on to the central government (read here, Swedish only). Regarding Forshaga, our opinion on the stakeholder response to our application has been submitted to the Swedish EPA (read here, Swedish only).

The application has been submitted to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency
On October 15, the application to suppress mosquitoes along the Nedre Dalälven was submitted. The application requests permissino for 3 years (2020-2022) as opposed to the previous one year permits. Our hope is that by submitting this early and for multiple years, we can alleviate any delays between receiving the permit and potential early spring floods. This application encompasses a total of 12 543 ha (see proposed areas here). An application for control in Forshaga municipality for 2020 and a total of 669.4 ha (see areas here) was sent to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency on October 24. On the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's website, the entire application for Nedre Dalälven is available here, the entire application for Forshaga is here.
