Under provision of the Colorado Weed Management Act (35-5.5-109 CRS), and Weld County Code,
Chapter 15, Article II, this letter is to serve as notice that the presence of noxious weeds has been
observed on property which is owned, leased, and/or occupied by you and located in Section 04,
Township 7 north, Range 67, west of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The property is designated in
the Weld County Assessors Office as parcel(s) number(s) 070504000002.
The noxious weed present on the property is Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense).
Because these weeds are going to seed and producing viable seed that will infest neighboring lands, they
must be mowed, cut or disked under to keep from blowing.
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. Please be advised that if you do not control or eradicate these
weeds by July 10th, 2009, I will ask the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County for
permission to enter the property to use one of these methods of control or eradication 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.3769.
Sincerely,
\ & N \N\C C\ U
