Camilletti Pit Weed Management Plan <br />July 2008 <br />Site Location <br />The Camilletti Pit is located 3.0 Miles East of Hayden, CO. This is off of US 40 and CR 51A in Routt <br />County. <br />Obiective <br />The objective of this weed management plan is to control undesirable plants on the Camilletti Pit <br />property. Plants identified through the Colorado Noxious Weed Act (C.R.S. 35-5.5) and the <br />Routt County Noxious Weed List as undesirable and designated for management within the <br />county include Canada Thistle, Musk Thistle, Diffuse Knapweed, Russian Knapweed, Spotted <br />Knapweed, Dalmation Toadflax, Yellow Toadflax, Leafy Spurge, and Tamarisk. Not all of these <br />weeds are found on this site. In addition to this list, Russian olive is included for management <br />and eradication in the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology program policy memorandum <br />dated January 19, 2005. <br />Methods of Control <br />The methods of control <br />order of use preference. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />11' <br />1 <br />are cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical. They are listed in <br />These methods are defined as follows: <br />• Cultural - The method or management practices that encourage the growth of desirable <br />plants over undesirable plants. <br />• Mechanical - The method or management practices that physically disrupt plant growth <br />including but not limited to tilling, mowing, burning, flooding, mulching, hand-pulling, <br />and hoeing. <br />• Biological - The use of organisms such as sheep, goats, cattle, insects, and plant diseases <br />to disrupt the growth of undesirable plants. <br />• Chemical - The use of herbicides or plant regulators to disrupt the growth of undesirable <br />plants. <br />An integration of one or more of these methods will be applied. In general, weeds will be <br />controlled by minimizing disturbed areas and re-vegetating affected areas as soon as possible <br />following disturbances. Each year, prior to the growing season, the site will be inspected to <br />assess noxious weed growth and establish control procedures for the season. Weed management <br />will likely include chemical controls. Biological and Mechanical controls are not anticipated at <br />this time. Chemical spraying will occur to manage weeds in reclaimed areas. <br />11
