<br />Dear Mr. Hunt,
<br />1 have reviewed your recent submittal in which you request to add a weed control plan for :III the gravel
<br />pits operated by Montrose County, as named above. This addition of a weed control plan i:; made through
<br />the technical revision process, but since all sixteen of the county's active permitted gravel sites will have
<br />the satne weed control plan, the Division can perform one review for all sites.
<br />The need to add a weed control plan was identified when a Russian knapweed infestation .vas observed
<br />during the Division's November 21, 2000, inspection of the Lee Pit. (The inclusion of a weed control
<br />plan into the Lee Pit permit, and the county's commitment to implement it, satisfy the corrective action
<br />stated in the aforementioned inspection report. That problem is now corrected.)
