Hayden Gulch Terminal, Inc. * Hayden Gulch Loadout Weed Management Plan <br />Spot Treatment Mixing <br />• 1 % Solution in 100 Gallons = 1 gallon of Chemical <br />• 1 % Solution in 3 Gallons = 3.8 oz. = 11.5 tbsp = 114 ml <br />• 1 % Solution in 1 Gallon = 1.3 oz. = 4 Tbsp = 39 ml <br />• 2% Solution in 1 Gallon = 2.5 oz. = 8 Tbsp = 75 ml <br />• Escort package contains a measuring funnel. Use a'/a % mixture for spot spraying. <br />See label instructions for specific species. <br />Mechanical and Biological Control <br />1. Some weed species succumb to mechanical control, i.e, disking and hoeing. When <br />possible mechanical control will be the method of choice. <br />2. Annuals such as Pennycress will be disked prior to seeding with a permanent and <br />competitive grass mixture, see attachment for seed mix. <br />3. Burning will be conducted where possible, with approval of appropriate government <br />agencies. <br />4. Hand pulling of individual plants will be done for small infestations. <br />5. Stump cutting will be part of the control effort for Tamazisk. <br />6. Cattle and horses may be used to stimulate production of competitive grass and shrub <br />species through grazing management. <br />7. Mowing before flower set will be used when possible. <br />8. Biological control will be used on some species if a method exists that is proven to work <br />effectively. The economics of biological control will be considered when making the <br />decision to use this method. <br />9. All disturbed areas will be seeded with a competitive grass mix, see attached list. <br />Monitoring and Reporting <br />1. Each spring prior to control application, qualified HGTI personnel will survey and map, <br />as accurately as possible, all weed infestations. HGTI will map weed infestations using a <br />contour search pattern, i.e. following the contour on a 100 to 200 ft. detection swath on <br />foot or with an ATV. The information will be recorded on an aerial photo or topographic <br />map with a minimum scale of 1-inch = 500 feet. <br />2. The map will be a permanent record available for inspection by the Routt County weed <br />coordinator and any other interested party. <br />TR-07 6 March 2006 <br />
