Seneca Coal Company Weed Management Plan <br />• <br />• <br />Chemical Coatrol Measures <br />Weed species will be monitored and controlled as follows according to the <br />label instructions of each herbicide. <br />1. Where chemical control is used, the pesticide label will determine <br />the timing and rate of herbicide application. <br />2. All precautions and label instructions will be followed during the <br />application of the herbicide. <br />3. After chemical application and before moving to a new location the <br />equipment used in the process will be cleaned to prevent <br />accidental transport of weed seeds. <br />4. All personnel will be trained in the use of the herbicides utilized <br />and the safe operation of equipment. All personnel will be trained <br />in the identification of target species and non-target species. <br />5. No application of chemical control will be conducted when wind <br />drift could potentially happen. <br />6. Herbicides will be applied during the time of day when the plants <br />are most susceptible to herbicide uptake. <br />7. Herbicides will be applied when the temperature and humidity are <br />optimum for plant uptake. <br />8. Chemical control will be sequenced during the appropriate time in <br />the life cycle of the plant for optimum control. <br />9. Chemical control will be used in conjunction with mechanical and <br />biological control wherever possible. <br />Chemicals for possible use on SCC Property within label and applicable <br />governmental guidelines: <br />Arsenal Banvel <br />Escort Garlon 4 <br />Krenite Landmark <br />Plateau Redeem <br />Roundup Telar <br />Tordon Transline <br />Weedone; 2,4-D Activator 90 <br />Clean Crop Low Vol 6; 2,4-D <br />U <br />The following table indicates the recommended/preferred type, amount, <br />and timing of chemical control for the weeds listed on the inventory. <br />3 <br />January 2005 <br />
