Weeds (non-native & invasive) are also present in the general area, some of which are <br />state and county-listed noxious weeds (Appendix 3) as defined by state statute (CRS <br />Title 35, Article 5.5). The knapweeds, Canada and Scotch thistles, field bindweed, <br />Russian olive, and tamarisk are the predominant weed species found in this area. <br />These weed species are highly competitive and will form monocultures in areas where <br />conditions favor their growth and reproduction. An example of this ecological process is <br />evident by the presence of salt cedar trees in the southwest corner of the site. These <br />trees are non-native and appeared as a result of ecosystem degradation following <br />previous mining operations and as the Arkansas River drainage has been infested. <br />These species will be the primary focus of the weed management plan. That focus can <br />change to include both state-listed and county-listed noxious weeds, as well as other <br />undesirable plants. <br />Our management goal will be three-pronged: <br />1. Eliminate existing noxious weeds within the property boundary. <br />2. Prevent introduction of the species into non-infested areas due to construction and <br />maintenance operations. <br />3. Prevent the spread of noxious weeds to areas within the property boundary. <br />B. Description of how weed species interfere with management goals <br />Non-native, invasive weed species are capable of degrading native rangeland and <br />riparian areas by their ability to disrupt and dominate the natural plant communities. <br />Their competitive nature allows them to reduce the quality and quantity of desired <br />species. Thus, the value of the land on which native species have been replaced by <br />non-native, invasive species is significantly reduced. <br />C. Inventory of plant species that interfere with management goals <br />The first step for implementing this plan will involve a noxious weed inventory of the <br />species mentioned previously within the project area. Either GPS-based or hand-drawn <br />maps will be utilized to accurately designate the spatial distribution of weeds as a <br />portion of this management plan. All Rite Paving & Redi-Mix, Inc. will furnish site maps <br />upon request, and someone to accompany CSU Extension personnel on an initial on-site <br />visit to determine boundaries. CSU Extension personnel will conduct the weed surveys, <br />develop management strategies, and make control recommendations. They will assist in <br />locating licensed, Commercial Pesticide applicators to conduct any herbicide applications <br />deemed necessary. Fees for these inspection and management services will be the <br />responsibility of the operator. <br />CSU Extension recommends that inspections occur each year. This will allow All Rite <br />Paving & Redi-Mix, Inc. to stay on top of any developing weed problems. CSU <br />Extension personnel can conduct these annual inspections, provide maps of weed <br />populations to the Operator and provide technical assistance as mentioned in the <br />preceding paragraph. <br />All Rite Paving & Redi-Mix, Inc.
