ZUEGE MINE, LLC PAGE 2 <br /> ZUEGE MINE - WEED CONTROL PLAN <br /> JUNE 1 1 , 2024 <br /> for the property, and according to the ability to control them <br /> now versus later. Actions will be taken only when careful consid- <br /> eration indicates leaving the noxious weeds unchecked would <br /> result in more damage than controlling it with best available <br /> methods . <br /> The plan follows the adaptive management approach: <br /> • First, weed species are identified through inventory of the <br /> property and by gathering information from other sources. <br /> • Second, land management goals and weed management objectives are <br /> established for the property. <br /> • Third, priorities are assigned to the weed species and weed patches <br /> based on the severity of their impacts, while considering the ability <br /> to control them. <br /> • Fourth, methods are considered for controlling them or otherwise <br /> diminishing their impacts and, if necessary, re-order priorities <br /> based on likely impacts on target and non-target species. <br /> • Fifth, An Integrated Weed Management (IWM) plan is developed based on <br /> this information. <br /> • Sixth, the IWM plan is implemented in the spring or fall as recom- <br /> mended by the CSU Cooperative Extension local office. <br /> • Seventh, the results of management actions are monitored and evalu- <br /> ated in light of weed management objectives for the management area. <br /> • Finally, this information is used to modify and improve weed manage- <br /> ment objectives, control priorities, and IWM plans, thereby starting <br /> the cycle again. <br /> The premise behind a weed management plan is that a structured, <br /> logical approach to weed management, based on the best available <br /> information, is cheaper and more effective than an ad-hoc ap- <br /> proach where one deals with weed problems as they arise. <br /> 3.
