Kirkland will implement weed mitigation methods, including <br /> any application of herbicides used to control weeds on site. Mitigation methods/techniques <br /> include preventative, cultural, physical/mechanical methods, and biological and chemical <br /> approaches. Optimal noxious weed management methods will vary with the environmental <br /> variables of the area of interest. Consider soil type and stability, grade, moisture regimes, <br /> growing season, pre-existing noxious weed populations, land use, water availability, weed <br /> type and stage of growth as well as the intensity of the infestations when preparing a <br /> noxious weed management plan. <br /> The management methods should have minimal impact on the environment and be <br /> economically fitting for the Operator in charge of implementing the noxious weed <br /> management program. When assessing weed management on a property, it is important to <br /> evaluate possible modes of transportation for the noxious species. Areas to consider <br /> include waterways, roads, game trails, areas with livestock, and equipment storage sites. <br /> Most management plans utilize a combination of the treatments outlined below. <br /> 3.1 Preventative Methods <br /> Preventative methods include practices involving good land stewardship. These practices <br /> include but are not limited to using weed free certified products, erosion control measures, <br /> and regularly cleaning equipment. <br /> Kirkland Construction 4 March 2019 <br /> weed mgmt plan_kirkland cwnstruction_march_2019.docx T E L E S T O <br />
