Rule 6.3.4
Reclamation Plan
V. DEFINITION OF A NOXIOUS WEED Noxious weeds are non-native
plant species that have been introduced into an environment with few, if any,
natural biological controls, giving them a distinct competitive advantage in
crowding out native plant species. They have the ability to dominate to the
extent that plant diversity and ecosystem integrity are threatened. Noxious
weeds are aggressive, spread rapidly, possess a unique ability to reproduce
profusely, and resist control.
VI. FUNDING A Noxious Weed Fund.was.initiated by vote of the Jackson
County Commissioners in 1998. Seed monies.for the fund came via transfers
from the Count"s General Fund and the Road and Bridge Fund. Funding
does not come through a mil levy. Besides the annual county contribution,
additional revenues are procured yearly from other land stewardship agencies
having a presence within the county. Grant°monies have been secured and
will be sought as they become available.
V11. CITIZENS ADVISORY WEED BOARD A local advisory board has been
assembled to advise the local governing body,the Jackson County
Commissioners in matters pertaining to weed management. The Board will
have an elected Chairman and Secretary. Weed Board members will be
composed of a majority of private landowners, each having at least forty acres
within the unincorporated sections of the county. Weed board members will
serve in one-year terms. Additional participants because of their interest,
