<br /> <br />e <br /> <br />For these reasons the Weed Advisory Board is much concerned that <br />large scale gravel removal is likely to further spread an already <br />serious noxious weed problem. <br />Unfortunately noxious weeds are the "unseen enemy" where land <br />development and soil disturbances are concerned. We have already seen <br />many instances where noxious weeds have "hitch-hiked" to new locations <br />in hay, gravel, fill soil, livestock hauling and heavy equipment. <br />movement. <br />If gravel is hauled off this site as planned, it will be almost <br />impossible to know whether or not iC contains even a few spurge seeds <br />which could easily cause infestations elsewhere. Truck and railroad <br />hauling could spread the problem even across state lines. <br />Before any permit to mine gravel is granted we believe the <br />applicants should submit to the County their plan for control of the <br />growing weeds and weed seed. Such a plan would then be reviewed by <br />responsible state weed control specialists for the effectiveness of <br />control methods being proposed. <br />We wanted you to know of our concerns. <br />Sincerely, <br />GLC ~-G ~ C~ <br />i % <br />The Fremont County Weed Advisory Board <br />Paul Telck, President <br />Roy Roper, Secretary <br />ERR/jb <br />~/cc: Colo.
