EGETATION <br />2011 Scope of Work <br />ANAGEMENT <br />N <br />Vegetation Management, Inc. <br />"May all your Weeds be Wildflowers <br />and all your Trees be Healthy" <br />P.O. Box 162 <br />Evergreen, CO. 80437 -0162 <br />www.vmiweedsandtrees.com <br />303.674.1215 (0) <br />1.877.467.1215 (F) <br />calexdlind @comcast.net <br />Recommendations /Scope of Work <br />City of Golden - Guanella Reservoir <br />Vegetation Management Inc. (hereafter referred to as VMI) has been <br />asked to prepare this recommendation for weed management efforts in <br />three areas of the City of Golden — Guanella Reservoir (hereafter referred <br />to as COG -GR) commencing during Fall 2010 and beyond. <br />VMI currently provides weed control services for a variety of agencies and <br />municipalities. There are many benefits derived from developing an <br />ongoing weed management program 1) reduce infestations and seed <br />populations; 2) decrease competition to benefit native plants and forbs; <br />and 3) lower the possibility for noxious species to spread. <br />The COG -GR will be broken up into a total of three (3) areas and will be <br />referred to by VMI as follows: <br />• SW side (estimated to be approximately 18 +/- Acres) — Noxious <br />weeds found in this area were: Yellow Toadflax, Canada and <br />Musk Thistles; Scentless Chamomile and Diffuse Knapweed. This <br />area is long and fairly wide going from the road along the S side of <br />the reservoir to approximately the power line and from the dam at <br />the E to approximately the forested area at the W. It will also <br />include an annual inspection to the W where the inlet equipment is <br />located. The majority of this area is heavily forested with some <br />open areas which could almost be considered meadows however <br />many of these open areas contain native forbs and shrubs as well <br />as lots of downed timber making this area difficult to treat requiring <br />leaving equipment parked along the roadside and dragging hose <br />to spot treat for weeds. It should be understood that in order to <br />treat infestations in this area some collateral damage may occur to <br />native plant material. <br />• Roadside, Reservoir banks, and area N of reservoir to W Fork <br />of Clear Creek (estimated to be approximately 24 — 27 Acres) — A <br />thorough inspection of this area has yet to be completed as of Fall <br />Page 1 City of Golden — Guanella Reservoir <br />
