COUNTY <br /> DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br /> NTY -Parks&Visitor Services •Open Lands Program •Weed Management&Forestry <br /> 1800 South County Road 31 <br /> Loveland, CO 80537 <br /> (970)679-4570/(970)679-4574 FAX <br /> 162 www.larimer.org/naturalresources <br /> Larimer County weed management procedures follow an integrated management approach utilizing <br /> herbicide application, mowing, hand pulling, insect bio-control, and cultural control. Management of Strang <br /> Gravel pits with the assistance of the Weed District will be a combination of chemical and mechanical control <br /> due to the amount of perennial plants present on the property. Utilizing an integrated weed management <br /> approach, the program will make every effort to prevent introduction of new invasive plant species, eradicate <br /> isolated or limited populations, and contain and manage weed species that are well established within the <br /> county. The Weed District will systematically use a combination of the 2 methods of control to suppress the <br /> noxious weeds listed as C species and troublesome noxious weeds, as well as obtain more manageable levels, <br /> and ultimately eliminate the noxious weeds listed as B species deemed by Larimer County and the State. All <br /> phreatophytes listed will be controlled with a method of control known as "cut stump treatment" where we will <br /> cut the tree at its base, and treat with an herbicide labeled for such use. <br /> As part of our commitment in managing the noxious weeds, we will treat and monitor all infestations <br /> on the property until our agreement with the Road and Bridge department is exhausted, or we obtain our <br /> management goals (please refer to the original proposal document for project costs and completion) If there are <br /> any questions or concerns regarding Larimer County Weed Districts plan for Strang Gravel Pit,please feel free <br /> to contact me. <br /> Thank you for your time, <br /> Bill Pawleshyn <br /> Weed Specialist II <br /> Larimer County DNR-Weed District <br /> 970-498-5753 <br /> pawlyswC&,co.larimer.co.us <br />
