I found a small infestation of tamarisk and bull thistle. I recommend <br />chemical treatment and physical removal of these plants as necessary to stop spread to adjacent areas. <br />The most problematic thing I observed was a newly established stand of saltcedar in the wet areas. It <br />did not however seem to be growing on or be contaminating the stockpiles of sand and gravel on the <br />site. It is my recommendation this perennial weed be chemically treated with a selective herbicide <br />and a good monitoring plan be established. The saltcedar can be controlled this way and seeds will <br />not contaminate the rest of the site. <br />Of lesser importance, I observed some small infestations of biennial weeds such as bull thistle. These <br />appear to be new establishments which can be easily controlled with hand rogueing and spot spraying <br />of rosettes. <br />Sincerely, <br />AGary 7rnan, Manager
