1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> The Colorado Noxious Weed Act (C.R.S. Title 35, Article 5.5) declares that certain <br /> undesirable plants constitute a threat to the"continuous economic and environmental value <br /> of lands of the state" and requires that these "noxious weeds" be managed on private and <br /> public lands. The Act further declares that control of noxious weeds should use methods <br /> that are least damaging to the environment but also practicable and economically <br /> reasonable. Kirkland Construction (Kirkland) will be responsible for management of <br /> weeds identified on the gravel pit assets they own and operate (Figure 1, Appendix A). <br /> Implementing a Weed Management Plan minimizes potential economic and environmental <br /> impacts for Kirkland and surrounding stakeholders. Management and control of weed <br /> populations within Kirkland assets is important to keep the cost of weed abatement, <br /> stormwater, and revegetation to a minimum. The three elements are intertwined, so <br /> improvement in one area will facilitate improvements in the other areas of concern. <br /> This plan provides Kirkland with a weed management guideline for assets shown in Table <br /> 1: <br /> Kirkland Construction 1 March 2019 <br /> weed mgmt plan_kirkland construction_march_2019.docx T E L E S T <br />
