Overgrowth of weeds will inhibit good native vegetation. <br />Control and/or kill noxious and nuisance weeds inside mine permit boundary. <br />Herbicide treatments include spot spraying from backpacks and spray rig equipment. <br />Treatments will involve the application of herbicides using best management practices <br />and applications will be recorded for reporting purposes. All records will be provided to <br />BLM and Mayne Block and Stone Company. Compliance is the goal after application. <br />10 <br />Dotsero Quarry Mine Permit Boundary M-1987-074- Please see mine map. <br />Treatments will target noxious weeds growing within the mine permit boundary. <br />The site contains no water and is mostly infested with annual weeds. Treatments <br />will focus on the reclamation area and disturbed areas. Applications will target <br />species when they are most susceptible to herbicide treatments. The treatment <br />area will be posted with flags to give notice to the public after the application. <br />Prior to application Habitat Management checked the EPA Endangered Species <br />Bulletin and found no active restrictions for herbicide inside the mine permit boundary. <br />Spot Spraying will be the application method by trained qualified supervisors and <br />and applicators. This will reduce the risk of potential drift that may cause harm to <br />non-targeted species. All applications will follow state and federal laws. Applications <br />will be made when weather and environmental conditions are favorable at the site. <br />Spill Kits will be on-site and herbicides will be kept locked in a secondary container.
