The property is designated in the Weld County Assessor's Office as parcel number 070526300042. The noxious weeds present on the property include: Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense). The optimum time for control is when the identified noxious weeds are in the rosette stage. The best method of control or eradication is to use herbicides that are labeled for the specific weed and site, or by mechanical means, such as mowing two to three times during the summer. The plants must be kept from going to seed. Section 35-5.5-109, C.R.S. and Weld County Code, Chapter 15, requires you to control the weeds by using at least one of these methods by May 31, 2012, or submit an acceptable weed management plan with an acceptable completion date or request an arbitration panel by May 31,2012. If you do not comply by May 31st, I will request a Right of Entry from the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County to enter the property to control the designated noxious weeds at your expense, as provided in Section 35-5.5-109 (5a) C.R.S. and Weld County Code, Chapter 15. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding the control or eradication of the noxious weeds on the property. I am also available to assist you in developing short and long term weed management plans. The office phone number is 970-304-6496, ext. 3770 or 3769. Please ask for Tina Booton or me.
