Noxious Weed Management Plan <br />Lockland LLC <br />Hopemore Shaft <br />Leadville, Colorado <br />August 2009 <br />1. Plan Objective <br />The objectives for Lockland LLC's Noxious Weed Management Plan for the Hopemore <br />Shaft are to: <br />• provide the steps necessary for the Hopemore Shaft to assess the existence of noxious <br />weeds within and adjacent to the property boundaries; <br />• provide the Hopemore Shaft with preventive and treatment measures which will <br />control the spread and establishment of noxious weeds; <br />• identify monitoring needs and frequency of monitoring. <br />2. Description of the Project <br />The Hopemore Shaft site is located about 3 miles east of the town of Leadville in previously <br />disturbed mine pit or dump soils in an open area above timberline. The permitted area <br />consists of 1.9 acres at an elevation of 11,500 feet. <br />3. Weed Inventory <br />The Hopemore Shaft requested Larry Walker, Chaffee County Weed Department, inspect the <br />mine site. He found a small patch of Yellow toadflax outside of the permitted area. <br />4. Weed Management Techniques <br />The Hopemore Shaft will consult with the local weed control expert and the Colorado State <br />University's Website for recommended weed management techniques. The company will <br />implement recommended techniques for managing any noxious weeds the local weed control <br />expert finds. <br />5. Monitoring Plan <br />The Hopemore Shaft will monitor the site for any noxious weed species on the State A list or <br />the Chaffee/Lake county list. The company will have the local weed control expert inspect <br />the property in late July. He will be asked to identify any new noxious weed infestations and <br />make any recommendations to the current management techniques. <br />M1990-057 November 25, 2009
