• Oust will primarily be used to aid in the control of cheatgrass. Very low application rates will be <br />used to achieve the desired results (0.5 to 1.5 oz. per acre). Current use is limited due to the <br />unknown effects on desirable vegetation. With experience we expect to be able to control <br />cheatgrass and hopefully enhance species and growth form diversity on our reclaimed areas. <br />Tordon is used primarily for noxious weed control. Canada thistle is the primary target weed but <br />Tordon is also very effective on Russian knapweed, Field bindweed, and Black henbane. As a <br />'restricted' pesticide special licensing requirements apply to Tordon's use. <br />Spike is used for bare-ground weed control. The vegetation control characteristics of Spike <br />persists for several years. Its use will be restricted to vegetation control along railroad tracks and <br />areas immediately surrounding flammable storage tanks and electrical substations where <br />vegetation control is required by MSHA. This product will not be used in areas scheduled for <br />reclamation within 5 years. <br />As with any registered pesticide, it is a violation of Federal law to use these products in a manner <br />inconsistent with their labeling. Pesticide Use Proposals have been approved by the BLM for <br />BME's use of these chemicals within the mine area. Other special licensing requirements have <br />also been obtained by BME for the lawful use of these pesticides as outlined above. <br />• <br />• <br />Mid-Term Review 2002 (8/2002) V-66 <br />
