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 15,Township 1 North,Range 66 West of the 6th
P.M.,Weld County,Colorado.The property is designated in the Weld County Assessor's Office as parcel number
147115000020.
The noxious weeds present on the property include: Scotch thistle(Onopordum acanthium).
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,or by 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 May 29,2004 or submit an acceptable weed management plan with an
acceptable completion date or request an arbitration panel by May 29,2004. If you do not comply by May
29th,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 Ron Broda or me.
Sincerely,
