<br />-2- <br /> <br />I;; <br />,,;, '" ~ <br /> <br />of Texas's 2001 Pecos River Ecosystem Project. An interesting fact from this study was that <br />helicopters proved twice as effective as airplanes in application. The primary herbicide used was <br />Arsenal which is EP A approved. Arsenal's main ingredient is based on imazapyr which works on <br />enzymes found only in plants and has not proven to be harmful to animals and humans. Salt cedar <br />removal through Arsenal in this case has helped increase flows along the Pecos River and has not had <br />adverse affects on the pupfish, an endangered species in Texas. The Corps and the Board completed a <br />reconnaissance study regarding the salt cedar problem below John Martin Reservoir in 2001. Water <br />users in the Arkansas River Basin are already exploring opportunities for salt cedar control in area <br />below John Martin Reservoir in consultation with the US Army Corps of Engineers and the board. <br />September 24th, Lamar, Colorado is the next meeting of these Water users. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Board Action ~ <br />Staff recommends that the CWCB consider the attached salt cedar resolution. Adopting this ~ ~ <br />resolution will support the efforts of our Congressional delegation. In adopting the attached v;d.J-- <br />resolution direct staff to work with the Corps of Engineers in identifying and developing l~ <br />demonstration salt cedar eradication and control projects in Colorado, utilizing 100% federal funding <br />and monitoring proj ect effectiveness. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Flood Protection.
