RE: Notice of the Need for the Control or Eradication of Noxious Weeds
Dear Landowner:
Under provision of the Colorado Weed Management Act(355.5-109 CRS),and Weld County Code,Chapter 15,
Article II this letter is to serve as notice that the presence of noxious weeds has been otserved on properties which
are owned,leased,and/or occupied by you and located in Section 9,Township 1 North,Range 68 West of the 6th
P.M., Weld County,Colorado;parcel# 147709000009,and parcel# 147709100004.
The noxious weeds present on the property include: Russian knapweed(Acroptilon repens),musk thistle(Carduus
nutans),and Canada thistle(Cirsium arvense).
The optimum time for control is when 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, orbv 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 June 10'",2007 or submit an acceptable weed management plan with an
acceptable completion date or request an arbitration panel by June109t°,2007. If you do not comply by June
10th,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 356-4000,ext. 3778 or 3770. Please ask for Tina Booton or me.
Sincerely,
8,--7114-err-1
