Specifically, the Board vas worried about Agile Stone Systems, <br />Inc.'s proposal to open a quarry on the Barvey Ranch near Parkdale. Several <br />infestations of leafy spurge exist on this property, and the Board vas <br />troubled that the act of hauling rock materials from this site might accelerate <br />the spread of spurge in Fremont County and beyond. Therefore, Che weed board <br />recd®ended that Agile Stone be required to submit a leafy spurge control plan <br />prior to the approval of a mining permit by the Fremont County Commissioners. <br />• Accordingly, Agile Stone Systems, Inc. have developed a "Leafy Spurge <br />Management Plan for the Parkdale Permit Area"; a copy of which is Qnclosed. <br />This plan received a favorable review from Dr. George Beck, a yell know <br />weed control expert from Colorado State Dniversity. <br />The Fremont County Weed Advisory Board has reviewed this leafy spurge <br />management plan, as well as the comments submitted by Dr. Beck. Agile's <br />modified weed managment plan vas approved at a meeting of the Weed Board <br />held November 19, 1997. <br />In our opinion, Agile Stone Systems, Inc. has adequately addressed our <br />concerns about the spread and control of leafy spurge within the mining area. <br />Sincerely, <br />The Fremont County Weed Advisory Board , <br />~, <br />Paul Telck, President Boy per, S cretary <br />Attachment: Agile Weed Mgm't.
