Pcoblema <br />Soh Ceder acrd Russian olive disrupt the envcurro and stability ofnative plant communities and degrades <br />relive habitat by out competing and replacing native plant aptcien, monopolizing limited sources of <br />rnoisturo, and inaeaaiog the frequency, intensity and effect of fires and fiaods. Once established, they aro <br />difficult to control and nearly impossible to eradicate. Management of these species requires along-Leon <br />mmmitrnent and usually involves a combination ofcentro! methods such as mechanics! and chemical for <br />success. With these growth characteristics inmind, the Po1lawing guideline was developed to assist <br />operators in wntrolGng Salt Cedar and Russian olive on pennined mind lands. <br />Operators arc encouraged m eonsuh with their focal wend management authority (district) when <br />developing any weed managemart plan. <br />C~tLI Methods During Mining <br />Keep disttubance footprint as small as possible <br />• Disturb only the acreage to be mined in the upcoming field season <br />• Minimize numbs of roads and equipment stooge area <br />• Ralaim affected arses as soon se possible <br />• Implement ~sstrot methods prior to disturbing new areas <br />jNinimize or eliminate wetted sale andpraldling, create positive drainage at ell times, and where _ _ _ _ <br />praMicable: <br />• Slope ill effected areas to prevrnt puddling and facilitate rapid drying of surface soils <br />• Convey water via pipes w other means w prevent weaed soils; lima ditch conveyance <br />• ConduM operations that expose moist soils at a time when tamarisk arc not producing seed or have <br />Trot in the past 43 days (September -mid April, see later wmments about seed longevity and wet <br />soils) <br />Canttol/Maregemcrrt <br />• Mechanical <br />- Root plowing <br />- Bulldozing (over many Yew) <br />- Fire (over menY Yom) <br />- Inundation (bog term) <br />• Chemical <br />- Foliarapaying <br />e•r•t•d~Kr•rrr~(///ulMr.16 <br />.rrira vyd rorwem ra•rri~ <br />ro rume.,a< purl.•re.6ur w <br />wM ~//fa rrrrMl - ar ma <br />aI ry - •pi(RrM/nr de /T <br />Marius a.rbro. ro Mrom- <br />.~.ti.«.n.m+.•n <br />
