The Division <br />may take an enforcement action using a number of Rules if the Division determines that <br />an operator has not met the commitments of an approved weed management plan or the <br />Division determines a noxious weed infestation displays an increasing trend, due to a lack <br />of effort by the operator. Colowyo applied pesticides to the land for the control of known <br />weed species. Chemicals applied within the mine permit boundary include: Tordon, 2,4- <br />D, and Roundup. <br />GENERAL DISCUSSION <br />Seed Mixture - Colowyo's Reclamation Seed Mixture tables are found in Exhibit 4A. <br />Seed Tags -Copies of individual seed tags are provided in Exhibit 4B. <br />Seed Purchase Invoices - No additional seed was purchased in 2003.
