management considerations and objectives. If weedy species other than the noxious species <br />listed above become established to the point that revegetation success is jeopardized or such <br />species pose a risk of spread to adjacent undisturbed areas, appropriate control measures will <br />be implemented. <br />Herbicides will be applied either by contracted outside services or by WFC personnel. Outside <br />services will consist of either the County Weed Control District resources or a private commercial <br />herbicide applicator. The Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Service, or <br />representative agent in Montrose County, will be contacted for recommendations as to specific <br />herbicides and application rates for the targeted weeds. Recommendations specified on the <br />herbicide label will also be strictly followed. <br />All applicators will be properly licensed and /or certified to apply restricted or general use <br />herbicides as per Colorado statute and certification and licensing procedures administered <br />through the Division of Plant Industry, Colorado Department of Agriculture <br />Controlled areas will be monitored for effectiveness of the treatments. Follow -up treatments will <br />be conducted as necessary. Because of the aggressiveness of certain weeds and other <br />variables that may impact the effectiveness of the control program, monitoring for level of control <br />and needed retreatmentare critical aspects of the overall control program. Ongoing revegetation <br />monitoring and qualitative observation of reclaimed areas by reclamation personnel will identify <br />retreatment areas and any new areas of established weeds requiring control. The qualitative <br />monitoring will be conducted annually in order to evaluate progress being made towards control <br />of identified noxious weed areas. This information will be provided to the Division by March 15 <br />of each year as part of the Annual Reclamation Report. Finally, as new or improved methods of <br />controlling noxious weeds through the use of herbicides (either existing or new products) become <br />available, they will be evaluated for incorporation into the control program. In treatment areas <br />where herbicidal control has been effective but the density of desirable perennial species is too <br />low to reestablish an effective vegetative cover, the area will be reseeded using the approved <br />permanent seed mix. <br />A record will be maintained of areas where herbicides are sprayed, the types and mixture of <br />herbicides used, and the date of treatment. This information will be reported in the Annual <br />(Revised: PR -06) 2.05.4(2)(e) - 72 <br />
