<br />-. <br />Mr. Dan T. Mathews <br />3 <br />(1) The Division determines that an operator has not met the commitments <br />of an approved weed management plan * * *," On page 8 of the Guideline, <br />it states that "* * * pond embankments should be considered priority <br />treatment areas * * *." Upon AFO's review of the permit in Volume VI. <br />II - 5.2 Weed Control (page 57}, there is an approved management plan <br />for weed control. <br />Due to the weed management plan existing in the approved permit, AFO <br />believes MI.RD is required to write an NOV for the permittee's failure to <br />implement its approved permit. This is consistent with the Guideline <br />noted above. AFO deems MLRD's response to be inappropriate. <br />In violation 5 of 5, the TDN cites Rule 4.15.5(1) as the rule believed <br />to have been violated. The TDN states that the operator failed to <br />control grazing. <br />Your response states that Rule 4.15.5(1) was inappropriately cited and <br />that no erosion or damage to the area can be attributed to grazing. AFO <br />concurs with the improper rule citation because the uncontrolled grazing <br />was alleged to be occurring on the topsoil stockpile and sediment pond A <br />berm. AFO is concerned that the uncontrolled grazing may have resulted <br />in the establishment of noxious weeds on the pond berm. The approved <br />permit addresses this situation at Volume VI. II - 5.0 Protection of <br />Newly Seeded Areas; II - 5.1 Fencing by stating "* * * grazing results <br />in apparent weed invasion, decrease in productivity of the stand, or <br />excessive erosion and livestock trails, fences will be replaced <br />* * *." AFO believes that if uncontrolled grazing has not adversely <br />impacted the pond berm's vegetation, it appears to have allowed weed <br />invasion. AFO believes that MI.RD should request that the permittee <br />consider fencing the berm to prevent a future violation. <br />Concerning the unco_ntr_olled grazing of the topsoil stockpile, MLRD's <br />response does not address the area of concern; i.e., protection of <br />stockpiled topsoil via vegetation. Rule 4.06,3(2)(a}(i) requires "An <br />effective cover of non-noxious quick-growing annual and perennial plants <br />* * *." AFO believes that uncontrolled grazing may preclude achievement <br />of this performance standard. <br />Based on site conditions, there appears to be a grazing problem that can <br />be controlled by fencing. Again, AFO believes that MI.RD should request <br />that the permittee consider fencing the topsoil stockpile to prevent a <br />future violation of uncontrolled grazing impacting maintenance of the <br />topsoil stockpile's effective vegetative cover. <br />AFO deems MLRD's response appropriate because no violation apparently <br />exists at this time in that topsoil resources have not been lost at this <br />time due to erosive action as a result of the grazing impacts. However, <br />AFO believes that uncontrolled grazing of the topsoil pile may cause <br />conditions which constitute a violation of the regulations in the future <br />if steps are not taken to control the livestock. <br />
