RE: Notice of the Need for the Control or Eradication of Noxious Weeds
Dear Landowner:
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 properties which
are owned,leased,and/or occupied by you and located in:Section 35,Township 5 North,Range 67 west of the 6th
P.M.,Weld County,Colorado.The property is designated in the Weld County Assessors Office as parcels numbers
095735000003,095735000050,095735000049. Noxious weeds have also been observed on properties which are
owned,leased,and/or occupied by you and located in: Section 2,Township 4 North,Range 67 west of the 6th P.
M.,Weld County,Colorado.The property is designated in the Weld County Assessors Office as parcels numbers
105902000058, 105902000056, 105902000057, 105902000059, 105902000060, 105902000061.
The noxious weeds present on the property are: Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), and musk thistle (Carduus
nutans).
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. 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 October
8,2006 or submit an acceptable weed management plan with an acceptable completion date or request an
arbitration panel by October 8,2006. If you do not comply by October 8,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. 3770 or 3772. Please ask for Tina Booton or me.
Sincerely,
Dave Cook
Weed Landowner Specialist
