He found a small patch of Yellow toadflax on the road. <br />Weed Management Techniques <br />The Hopemore Shaft will use Chemical measures to manage the Yellow toadflax. The mine <br />will spray the Yellow toadflax with Roundup with an added surfactant at its early stage of <br />growth. <br />Monitoring Plan <br />The Hopemore Shaft will have the local weed control expert inspect the property once a year <br />to identify any new noxious weed infestations and make any recommendations to the current <br />management techniques.
