Weed Management <br />It is important to help prevent the spread of noxious weeds. During new construction, weed seeds can be carried <br />on machinery being transported from one site to another. Noxious weeds reduce property value and wildlife <br />habitat. Care should be taken to avoid spreading and introducing noxious weeds. Equipment should be cleaned <br />periodically to remove weed seeds even if no weeds are recognized. Recently altered soils rapidly become infested <br />with noxious weeds. The azea should be promptly revegetated using native species to prevent erosion and invasions <br />by weeds. It is also recommended that a weed management plan be developed for during construction and for at <br />least 5 yews after construction. <br />Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on the Northern Colorado Constructors project. Please do not <br />hesitate to contact us about ways to develop the property in order to maximize wildlife values on the property and <br />minimize potential conflicts with wildlife.
