Overview <br />This report summarizes Habitat Management, Inc.'s (Habitat) integrated pest <br />management (IPM) efforts at Climax Molybdenum Mine (Climax) during the 2006 <br />growing season. Weed control management on the Climax property was initiated in 1999. <br />During the growing season of 1999, Habitat conducted a weed survey of the project area <br />to characterize the extent of weed infestation. The survey identified the following twelve <br />species of noxious or targeted weeds growing on the property: <br />• Mayweed chamomile (Anthemis cotula L.) <br />• Oxeye daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum L.) <br />• Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense L.) <br />• Yellow toadflax (Linaria vulgaris L.) <br />• Musk thistle (Carduus nutans L.) <br />• Hoary Cress (Cardaria draba L.) <br />• Diffuse knapweed (Centaurea diffusa L.) <br />• Spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe L. ssp. micranthos Hayek) <br />• Russian knapweed (Acroptilon repens L.) <br />• Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) <br />• Houndstongue (Cynoglossum offzcinale L.) <br />• Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) <br />The information obtained during the weed survey was used to develop an IPM plan for <br />Climax. Weed management under this plan was implemented on a project-wide basis in <br />the summer of 2000 and has continued during the subsequent six growing seasons. <br />2006 Weed Manasement Activities <br />Habitat is a licensed commercial pesticide applicator that performed weed management <br />activities at Climax during the 2006 growing season. Qualified supervisor Paul Selby led <br />a crew of trained technicians in applying herbicides to targeted weeds on site. Herbicide <br />Climax Mine: IPM Report 1 2/22/2007 <br />
