PROBLEM: Tamarisk (salt cedar) trees are present within or have volunteered into the permit area and are
becoming established (photos 1 and 5). This is a problem for failure to employ weed control methods for a state

by Section 3.1.10 (6) of the rule.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The Operator shall either implement the existing weed control plan, provide
photographic evidence demonstrating that the Tamarisk has been eradicated, OR develop a weed control and
management plan in accordance with Section 3.1.10 (6) of the Rule. This plan should be developed in consultation
with the county extension agency, or weed control district office and should include specific control measures to
be applied, a schedule for when control measures will be applied and a post-treatment monitoring plan. This weed
control plan shall be submitted to the Division as a Technical Revision to the approved plan with the appropriate
Technical Revision fee of $216.00 by the corrective action date.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: June 30, 2016
