This press release features the Aquamog CCX in action. The vessel is ideal for making channels or getting rid of nuisance cattail growth from wetlands. This is by far the quickest and most effective Aquamog when it comes to just emergent aquatic plants and cattail removal. Where other Aquamogs need to multiple tools to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just digs right in to make new cleared water.

The Aquamog CCX with its 2 independent cutter blades in the front of the machine can displace cattails to a depth of 3 feet. The blades propel the vessel as well as do the root removal task. Getting rid ofthe roots limits re-growth in the area.

Once the roots are removed they remain on the surface of the water and are than easily picked up and removed from the lake using an aquatic plant harvester. The harvester moves the vegetation to the shoreline for final placement and/or off site dump.

Cattails are a native plant that have a lot functions in wetlands. They provide filtering of pollutants from wetlands, as well as provide homes for birds and other animals.

However, if not properly controlled they can quickly turn into a large water plant problems that can be very difficult and costly to handle. That is why the Aquamog CCX was built.

The Aquamog equipment line was invented in the early 1980’s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family formed Aquatics Unlimited in the 1970’s. Both Tom and Dave McNabb developed the Aquamog name and line of equipment throughout the 80’s and 90s while with AU. Tom continued the Aquamog line into the new century with the addition of the MarshMog. Tom’s new company Clean Lakes, Inc. (www.cleanlake.com) located in Martinez, California and Dave’s company DK Environmental (www.dkenvironmental.com) in Lafayette, California have been working together on the Aquamog CCX project for about 10 years and in February 2009 the Aquamog CCX 238 was introduced into the “Mog” family.
