Once developed and approved by the appropriate local weed control office, <br />the plan shall be submitted to the Division (in the form of a technical revision) for approval. <br />Once the plan is approved by the Division, the plan becomes part of the approved permit. <br />Reeulated Noxious Weeds <br />The following plants are considered to be noxious weeds for the purposes of this guideline <br />and the Hard Rock and Constructional Material Regulations. It should be recognized that <br />the following list may not include noxious or pest weed species that are specific to a <br />particular county. Operators should check with the county in which their particulaz mining <br />site is located for additional weed species. <br />Common Name <br />Leafy spurge <br />Canada thistle <br />Musk thistle <br />Plumeless thistle <br />Scotch thistle <br />Perennial Sow thistle <br />Russian knapweed <br />Spotted knapweed <br />Diffuse knapweed <br />Yellow toad flax <br />Dalmation toad flax <br />Hoary cress (White Top) <br />Field bindweed <br />Scientific Name <br />Euphorbia esula <br />Cirsium arvense <br />Carduus nutans <br />C. acanthoides <br />Onopordum acanthium <br />Sonchus arvensis <br />Centaurea repens <br />Centaurea maculosa <br />Centaurea diffusa <br />Linaria vuleazis <br />L. eenistifolia dalmatica <br />or L. dalma[ica macedonia <br />Cardaria draba <br />Convolwlus arvensis <br />4.
