III. NOXIOUS WEED MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES: <br />There are three basic management strategies: prevention, eradication, and <br />control. <br />a) Prevention is the procedure utilized to keep previously uninfected <br />areas from developing a problem. This would involve good <br />stewardship and a strong prevention program. <br />b) Eradication is the complete removal of noxious weeds from an area. <br />c) Control is the management technique that is usually practiced, and <br />involves the reduction of the noxious weed population in an area in <br />such a manner that the intended use of the land can be achieved. It <br />is anticipated that this particular strategy will be the primary focus of <br />the County's management program. <br />An important component of this technique involves the education of <br />appropriate individuals, such as County employees, soil conservation <br />district personnel and private landowners, in the identification of the <br />designated plants. The local CSU Cooperative Extension Office has <br />agreed to provide training programs and educational materials to <br />assist in this facet of the overall program. Problem areas will be <br />identified, mapped, and then an appropriate management plan can be <br />developed. <br />The implementation of this type of program will be developed <br />within the framework of existing resources. <br />IV. CONTROL OF NOXIOUS WEEDS -CHARGES: <br />The control of noxious weeds on private lands shall be handled pursuant to <br />the guidelines and procedures established under C.R.S. 35-5.5-110. <br />The control of noxious weeds on public lands shall be handled pursuant to <br />the guidelines and procedures established under C.R.S. 35-5.5-110. <br />The control of noxious weeds on public rights of way shall be handled <br />pursuant to C.R.S. 35-5.5-112. <br />z <br />
