Other Items <br />The weed control plan is a good generic approach to the surveying, monitoring and treating of the weed populations <br />on the permit and ranch. As such, it is approvable in the context of this conversion application. There are few <br />specifics included, however, which limit this office from assessing the true adequacy and costs of the plan. I would <br />like for you to follow up with a competent weed authority to develop a plan (which should include a map of <br />problem areas, the acres involved and the weed species there) and details about the control methods, to be <br />subtnitted to this office before the coming "weed season." If it includes all the necessary items, it will be able to be <br />included and implemented under the DMG permit, without filing for another revision to the permit. It it turns out <br />to contain some "exotic" practices that could cost more than traditional methods, it might require another bond <br />recalculation, but foi now I will only include a "generic" weed control cost in the bond estimate, to get this <br />conversion approved sooner. <br />Please be reminded that your 1f 11106 response submittal constitutes "additional items" and as such must be <br />additionally filed with the county clerk and recorder (as the original conversion materials were). The receipt for the <br />additional filing must be received by this office prior to the decision date (which is still set for 1123106). If you <br />need addifional time to prepare or submit materials, including the clerk and recorder receipt, you may request an <br />extension in writing from this office. If this item or others identified in this letter are not addressed by the close of <br />business on the decision date, the application maybe denied. <br />I look forward to any responses or quesfions you might have. I may be reached at the Division's Durango field <br />office: 707 Camino del Rio, Room 125, Durango, CO 81301; telephone 970-247-5193. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ ~~ <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Cc: Matt Carnahan, PO Box 1951, Bayfield, CO 81122 <br />Ec: Harry Posey, DMG <br />C:\0601docs\ignacio cn01 2adq/rco <br />
