IYIETHODO~QOY Areas infested with the identified noxious weeds within the permit boundary will be addressed by initial assessment and spraying by a centrtrctorwith appropriate experience in these rnattera. The qualified contractor will deem the Uquid application(s) appropriate and Acme Brick Company proposes to inform DBMS of weed coturol activities on an annual basis as part of the permit Annual Report function and tequitements. Acute Hack Company envision this is an amoral ongoing process during each spring to control noxious weeds before they propagate during the summer season. Specific management tcchoiques will be developtx~ implemented earl documented using a practical mint of cultural, mechanical, biological and chemical contnuls as deemed both etTec6ve and cost-effative. In general, the thistles and Di@i-se It,napweed wilt probably be controlled using herbicides, particularly during the leaf development stage, but beforo the flowering stage in early June. Thistles and Diffuse Knapweed wiU be treated in axordance with the DCWI guidance, attached. Further we plan to implemem the plan as an integrated approach incotporadon addidotrel weed control measures such es mowing, spot seeding, field harrowing, grazing, etc., which wiU be evaluated aztd implemented in conjunction with spraying as deemed appropriate in consultation with our weed control subcontractor. [f standard measures are not successful in eUminating the weed control problem within a traLSOnable amount of time (approximately one to four season of treatment) Acme Brick Company may contact DRMS for additional assistance.
