OPERATORS <br />SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING PAGES CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE <br />WITH THE TERMS OF THE PERMIT AND APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS. If a <br />Possible Violation is indicated, you will be notified under separate cover as to when the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board will consider possible enforcement action. <br /> <br />INSPECTION TOPIC: other <br />PROBLEM/POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: There are state-listed noxious weeds present on site. This is a <br />problem for failure to employ weed control methods for state listed noxious weed species within the permitted <br />area, and to reduce the spread of weeds to nearby areas as required by Section 3.1.10 (6) of the rule. <br />CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The Division is requiring the IMMEDIATE treatment of noxious weeds within the <br />disturbed area. The operator must submit photo documentation of the treatment, a map showing the areas <br />that were treated and a report from the sprayer noting the specific chemical and application rate used during <br />the treatment. The Division suggests that the operator hire a prof essional weed management company that <br />can provide documentation of chemicals used, application rates, and photo documentation of the dyed spray <br />being applied. <br />CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 9/01/16 <br /> <br /> <br />
