Care will be taken to avoid spraying into the wetlands and to avoid soil filling <br /> or disturbance. <br /> During the program,we will be consulting with the Turkey Creek Conservation District and spraying <br /> contractors to evaluate methods and chemical herbicides for effectiveness. <br /> With all the areas of the site treated,Transit Mix will continue to insure containment and move toward <br /> eradication in the years after 2020. During this time period,we expect that soil from the stockpiles at <br /> the southwest corner of the site will be spread on weed eradicated areas and drilled with grass seed. <br /> 2 <br />
