Minn sites or portions of mine sites that were not in reclamation as of January 19, 2005 shall <br />manage or control tamarisk and Russian olive as noxious weeds. <br />The level of management or control of tamarisk and Russian olive, depends upon whether the <br />permit azea is behaving as a noxious weed "source" or a "sink"..A site shall be considered a <br />"source" if it is the sole area harboring noxious weed species which act as a source for <br />propagation, through seeds or other moans, to adjacent undisturbed arras. Complete eradication <br />of the target species is typically rcgttired for "source" areas. A site may be considered a "sink" <br />if it is adjacent to infested areas that could give rise to an invasion of the site by noxious weed <br />species. The level of management will vary in "sink" areas but total eradication is not likely to <br />be required either during active mining or at the time a release request is made. Noxious wad <br />management plans and future warranty releases shall be based on site•spccific criteria in both <br />instances. <br />The proposed revisions to 8 C.C.R. 1203-19, Rules Pertaining to the Administration and <br />Enforcement of the Colorado Noxious Wecd Act, (Weed Rules), requires that regional areas of <br />the State shall eradicate tamarisk Where the State Wecc1 Rules require regional noxious weed <br />eradication, the DMG, Minerals Program may also require eradication. The Board's weed policy <br />maybe revised at any time so that it is consistent with the Stare Weed Rules and State noxious <br />wced policy. <br />
