Weed Management Plan May 2020 <br /> Herbicide application: It is extremely important to treat small infestation of certain weeds <br /> (List A and B species to be eradicated) as soon as possible. Herbicides are most effective <br /> when sprayed at specific stages during the life cycle of the weed. To ensure that small <br /> infestations of noxious weeds are controlled or eradicated effectively, it is extremely <br /> important to take immediate action on certain weed patches. <br /> Treatment in the spring (late May) to catch biennial thistles, knapweed, and other species is <br /> recommended. A follow up fall treatment (August) is further recommended. <br /> Source Water Protection. A Source Water Protection Plan was developed in 2013 for <br /> community drinking water systems in Garfield County. The property occurs within the City of <br /> Rifle watershed. The plan prioritizes source water protection concerns and identifies local <br /> source water management approaches that can be implemented to protect the source of <br /> drinking water for these communities. It delineates areas around these communities as <br /> source water protection areas. Pesticide application was identified a potential source of <br /> water contamination. Application of herbicides should follow label directions and selective <br /> spot spraying to ensure direct treatment of noxious weeds and protection of native <br /> vegetation and water resources. <br /> 8 <br />
