Activity in 2015 included noxious weed <br />control using Tordon to combat repeated occurrences of Canadian <br />Thistle and Hounds -Tongue, and ditch and culvert clean-out. Numerous <br />sets of straw waddles were set/maintained to help prevent continued <br />erosion on steeper slopes experiencing some erosion problems. <br />Brush was placed in gullies starting to form to retard flow and trap <br />sediment to help establish better vegetative cover. The success of the <br />method is being evaluated and will be continued in 2017. <br />12250 Hwy 12 PHONE (719) 859-0111 <br />Weston, CO 81091 FAX ((719) 858-0044 <br />E-MAIL ronthompson@newelkcoal.com <br />
