B.Weed Control <br /> f 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. The IWM plan will comply with state specific <br /> weed control goals for CO State List A, B and C weed species. IWM is species-specific,tailored to <br /> exploit the weaknesses of a particular weed species, site specific and designed to be practical and <br /> 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 technique(s) 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/pacific/agconservation/noxious-weed-species <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 />
