Tordon is used primarily for noxious weed control. Canada thistle is the primary target weed but <br />Tordon is also very effective on Russian knapweed, field bindweed, and black henbane. As a <br />'restricted' pesticide special licensing requirements apply to Tordon's use. <br />Arsenal is used primarily for the cut stump treatment of saltcedar and Russian olive and for bare- <br />ground weed control around facilities. Foliar application to saltcedar and Russian olive may also <br />be effective for spot control of young plants and resprouts. Arsenal is also particulady effective in <br />controlling field bindweed. The vegetation control characteristics of Arsenal persist for several <br />years. This product will not be used for bare-ground vegetation management in areas scheduled <br />for reclamation within three years. <br />Spike, Sahara, Hyvar, and Krovar are used for bare-ground weed control. The vegetation control <br />characteristics of these products can persist for several years. Their use will be the control of <br />vegetation along railroad tracks, areas immediately surrounding flammable storage tanks and <br />electrical substations, and where vegetation may cause safety, fire, or structural integrity <br />concerns. These products will not be used in areas scheduled for reclamation within three years. <br />Plateau and Journey are used primarily for cheatgrass control. These herbicides are also <br />effective in controlling leafy spurge, whitetop, Perennial pepperweed, and Russian knapweed. <br />Further research and experience with these herbicides will help dictate how they will be <br />``',. <br />integrated into the revegetation program. <br />Escort and Telar are effective in controlling many annual broadleaved weeds, biennial thistles, <br />whitetop, and perennial pepperweed. These herbicides are particularly effective on members of <br />the mustard family. <br />As with any registered pesticide, it is a violation of Federal law to use these products in a manner <br />inconsistent with their labeling. <br />Pesticide Use Proposals are required by the BLM for BME's use of these chemicals on federal <br />lands. Inclusion and discussion of pesticide use here, within the permit, does not negate nor <br />preclude the requirement to first obtain appropriate approval from the BLM for pesticide use on <br />federal lands. Other special licensing requirements have also been obtained by BME for the <br />lawful use of these pesticides as outlined above. <br />The Colorado Department of Agriculture recently revised the rules pertaining to noxious weeds <br />pursuant to the Colorado Noxious Weed Act (§§ 35-5.5-101 through 119, C.R.S. (2003)). These <br />rules address appropriate control requirements for listed noxious weeds in Colorado. In <br />summary, noxious weeds in Colorado are classified into three lists. List 'A' noxious weeds are <br />very rere and must be eliminated prior to seed development. <br />MR131 (5/2006) V-66 <br />
