B. Weed Control <br />IWM is a process by which one selects and applies a combination of management <br />techniques (biological, chemical, mechanical and cultural) that, together, will control a particular <br />weed species or infestation efficiently and effectively, with minimal adverse impacts to non -target <br />organisms. IWM seeks to combine two or more control actions which will interact to provide better <br />control than any one of the actions might provide. IWM does not necessarily require the <br />eradication of a weed species or a particular infestation of weeds, although these might be <br />objectives in some cases. 1WM is species-specific, tailored to exploit the weaknesses of a particular <br />weed species, site specific and designed to be practical and safe. <br />The operator will develop an IWM plan in the event a weed species is identified on site. <br />7. Monitoring <br />Monitoring is the repeated collection and analysis of information to evaluate progress in <br />meeting resource management objectives. Periodic observation of the weeds begin managed is <br />necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of a weed control program. If management objectives are <br />not being met, weed control actions need to be modified. Without some type of monitoring, there <br />is no way of knowing whether control actions are contributing to the fulfillment of management <br />objectives. <br />The site will be monitored at least annually while vegetation is being established. in the <br />event weed control techniques) is (are) applied, a post-treatment visit will occur to evaluate the <br />effectiveness of the control technique(s). <br />List of Figures <br />Figure 1: DRMS Exhibit B Vicinity Map <br />Figure 2: DRMS Exhibit F Reclamation Plan Map <br />References <br />Colorado Department of Agriculture, Noxious Weed Species website, <br />www-colorado.gov/ acific a conservation noxious -weed -s ecies <br />Turkey Creek Conservation District, Pueblo County Noxious Weed Management, <br />http://Puebloweeds.com/weed-id <br />Appendices <br />Appendix A (Table 1): Turkey Creek Conservation District Noxious Weed Species (attached) <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />
