The property is designated in the Weld County Assessors Office as parcel number 120721000016. The noxious weed present on the property is: Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia esula). Because these weeds are nearing bloom stage, they must be controlled and kept from going to seed. Presently, the best methods of control are: 1) to mow as necessary throughout the year to keep the weeds from going to seed (3-5 times)and then spray with herbicides in the fall, 2)to mow throughout the season to keep the plants from going to seed, 3)to spray with herbicides up to the early flower stage. 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 May 19,2002 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 356-4000, Ext. 3757 for myself.
