4. Valco Inc. will use this new weed spray treatment mix for the next few years. <br />Otherwise the site is mostly pastureland with grass and annual weeds. During the <br />November 30, 2006 inspection DRMS noted Tamarisk (Salt Cedar) on a small section of <br />the mine area (noted on map). The Division noted the problem (Rule 3.1.10(6)) and <br />directed submittal and implementation of a Weed Control and Management Plan. <br />This Weed Control and Management Plan has been developed to address the noxious <br />weed control issues noted by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. <br />METHODOLOGY <br />Areas infested with the identified noxious weed within the permit boundary will be <br />addressed by initial assessment and spraying. Valco, Inc. proposes to inform DRMS of <br />weed control activities on an annual basis as part of the permit Annual Report function <br />and requirements. <br />Valco, Inc. envisions this is an annual ongoing process during each summer to control <br />noxious weeds before they propagate during the season. Specific management techniques <br />will be developed, implemented and documented using a practical mix of cultural, <br />mechanical, biological and chemical controls as deemed both effective and cost effective. <br />In general the Tamarisk (Salt Cedar) will probably be controlled using herbicides July <br />through September. If standard measures are not successful in eliminating the weed <br />control problem within a reasonable amount of time Valco, Inc. may contact DBMS for <br />additional assistance. <br />
