These treatment times <br />are effective due to the fact that a majority of plants are actively growing in <br />the spring and a large variety of weeds set rosettes in the fall for next <br />year's bloom. Certain weeds such as Yellow Toadflax (a deep rooted <br />perennial) are best treated during the months of August and /or September <br />when they are more easily visible due to blooming. Others such as <br />Scentless Chamomile are annuals which should be also be treated either <br />prior to or at the bloom stage which will also likely be in mid -late summer. <br />Based on the weeds found at the three areas and considering the COG - <br />GR location is above 8000' elevation (which generally causes plants to be <br />on a later schedule than at lower elevations) it is VMI's recommendation <br />that treatments at COG -GR be conducted in late spring /early summer with <br />a follow -up treatment sometime in August. <br />VMI conducts applications via broadcast and handgun spray, dragging <br />hose and backpack treatments all of which are very effective as evidenced <br />by before and after photos which VMI will take during treatments. <br />Herbicide will be applied in accordance with manufacturer's label instruc- <br />tions and specifications. VMI will comply with all requirements of the Pesti- <br />cide Applicator's Act (Sec.35- IO -IOI et seq. CRS) as well as with all federal, <br />state, and local rules, regulations, and laws pertaining to the work required. <br />It should be noted that noxious weeds grow at varying times throughout <br />the season and that VMI will be treating actively growing plants which will <br />have no affect on grasses and /or seeds. Weeds may germinate after <br />treatment which is the primary reason it is suggested that more than one <br />treatment be done annually. While weed reduction will likely be realized <br />throughout the years, it does not take long for weeds to regain control <br />quickly re- infesting lands. Thus a long term strategy is the most effective <br />method for continued control. <br />VMI takes great pride and attention to detail in the pursuit of weed control <br />and are confident that with our treatment efforts the COG -GR will be <br />pleased with the results. <br />2011 Scope of Work Page 3 City of Golden — Guanella Reservoir <br />
