Our Rules reference the "Colorado Weed Management Act" and the Guideline for the <br />Management of Weed Control on Coal Mines (http://www.minins.state.co.us/Forms/NoxiousWeeds.pdf). In the <br />guideline, the Division recommends multiple control methods depending on the weed species and the extent of <br />infestation. Chemical controls are allowed and are generally very effective for weed control on mined lands. Other <br />alternatives include: mechanical, physical, or biological controls. Often, we consult with the county weed agent for their <br />recommendations. If you are requesting a specific weed management plan, that would need to be negotiated with the <br />mine operator and the operator would include that in the permit application. The weed management plan is required as <br />part of the permit application and must be approved in the permit. <br />Our rules are available on-line at http://www.mining.state.co.us/rulesrees/Coal%20Regulations%209 02014%2005 pdf . <br />Please let me know if you have further questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sandy Brown <br />Sandra L.

My name is Roger Carver and I work for western fuels in Nucla. The proposed New Horizion <br />North expansion plan includes our property. My first question is about weed management, We are looking to <br />go into organic production in the near future as part of our retirement plan. If we sign a deal with new horizion <br />does the state have provisions in place for weed and pest management that does not include the use of poisions? <br />We have worked and at times had to defend ourselves against spray happy folks who believe poision is the <br />gospel, our land is clean and it's taken a long time to get it that way. Can the state work with us and Western <br />Fuels towards a new direction in pest management If we are to sign a deal. I see the oppertunity for the state <br />and Western Fuels and we the land owners to pilot a new greener era of energy production. This also apply's
