D. Specific location of infestation(s) on land. (Wetland, along ditch, fence line, etc.) <br />The area most impacted by weeds is along the B.H. Eaton Ditch and the Cache La Poudre River. <br />This area of infestation is over thirty acres which is adjacent to these two water conveyance <br />features. <br />6. Management Plan <br />A. Techniques I will use to keep the noxious weeds from going to seed, that will also <br />reduce infestation. <br />Canada thistle - A plan to mow or burn along ditch lines at least once prior to flowering (keeping <br />the plants from going to seed) and then will spray in the fall I will use a herbicide labeled for <br />use in pasture, either Curtail at 3gts./acre, or a tank mix of Clarity and 2,4-D at 1 qt. each acre. <br />Musk thistle - A plan to mow or burn along ditch lines at least once prior to flowering (keeping <br />the plants from going to seed) and then will spray in the fall. I will use a herbicide labeled for <br />use in pasture, either Curtail at 3gts./acre, or a tank mix of Clarity and 2,4-D at 1 qt. each/acre. <br />Leafy spurge - I will spray in the spring prior to flower stage and then will spray again in the fall <br />on the regrowth. I will start by spraying the spurge that occurs in a 50-75 ft. border along the <br />South Platte River and fence lines -keeping the spurge from spreading in the river and to the <br />neighbors. I will use 2,4-D at 2 qts/acre in the spring and Plateau at 10-12oz./acre in the fall. <br />B. Implementation schedule. <br />Canada thistle -mowing will occur in June of each year, depending upon the growth stage of the <br />plant. Spraying will occur in the fall -September or October. <br />Musk thistle -mowing will occur in June of each year, depending upon the growth stage of the <br />plant. Spraying will occur in the fall - September or October. <br />Leafy spurge -spraying will be carried out in May and again in the fall -September or October. <br />C. Anticipated length of implementation (years). <br />3-5 years <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
