WEED CONTROL: <br /> A. Anymore, invasion of weeds is almost inevitable (even in wilderness). <br /> B. The first step is to identify the invading weed(s). If the weeds are on the <br /> Noxious Weed List for Colorado (published by the Colorado <br /> Department of Agriculture)then plan on controlling it as required by the <br /> Colorado Noxious Weed Act. <br /> C. Do not control native species that sometimes behave like weeds unless <br /> that native presents a hazard to the success of the revegetation.Native <br /> invaders are often essential ingredients in the production of mature <br /> vegetation. <br /> D. With noxious weeds, control by a professional weed control company is <br /> best if the population is large and well established. <br /> E. Small invasions of certain species can often be controlled by company <br /> personnel using over the counter herbicides. If in doubt, contact the <br /> local Agricultural Extension Office and take samples of the plants, <br /> including roots,to them for advice. <br /> F. The invasion of weeds is often serious or if not then in time it will likely <br /> become serious. Do not ignore them. The following text,however, <br /> discusses the exception that can occur with tumbleweeds. <br /> APPARENT SEEDING FAILURE: <br /> A. Just because nothing comes up after planting does not mean the seeding <br /> has failed. If there has been no or insufficient precipitation the seeds are <br /> likely still alive and in the soil where they were planted. <br /> B. Read this section in the detailed plan to learn how to tell if the seeding <br /> has actually failed. <br /> C. In this dry landscape seed germination can sometimes be greatly <br /> delayed. <br /> Fountain Pit Technical Revision#3 - June 2022 M-1982-155 Reclamation Plan Page 7 of 23 <br />
