It is likely that this will be a major weed expansion year with strong seed production. It is therefore important to control weeds before the seed is produced or future years will show even more weed growth and it will be even more difficult and costly to control weeds. Along the roads the tall, spiny thistles often called Bull Thistle are very dense to about half way (or a little more) to the plant site from Quincy. South of there, thistle patches are very scattered. As much of this weed growth as possible should be sprayed with appropriate herbicides prior to seed set. The central area of the plant site is also very heavily infested next to and on the soil stockpile. Knapweed has crossed the road to the south and east. There is also a small amount of leafy spurge on the stockpile along with a lot of thistle. All of this should be treated at the appropriate time and hopefully it can be treated in one operation. As required by the Operation Plan in the lease (page 12), the Reclamation Permit, and the Colorado Noxious Weed Act, control of noxious weeds is required as a matter of law. «.e Nona Magnetic A N-1, (10 I E) 1 " = 900' 2015 Weed Control Map 2 Report Map Revised as of: July 2, 2015 (it is important to refer to the report narrative as some features are tentative) By MAH base date: Nov'05 This map prepared by MAH: July 2015
