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
11 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 14, Township 3 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M.,Weld
County, Colorado. The property is designated in the Weld County Assessors Office as parcel number 120714200092.
The noxious weeds present on the property include:Canada thistle(Cirsium arvense),and Russian knapweed(Acroptilon
repens).
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 September
18, 2005 or submit an acceptable weed management plan with an acceptable completion date or request an
arbitration panel by September 18,2005. If you do not comply by September 18,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 3771. Please ask for Tina Booton or me.
Sincerely,
Dayna Rich
Weed Control Field Technician
