A short residual herbicide may be used for spring application if necessary to control weeds to substitute for tillage operations normally used. 3. A slot or no-till planter or grain drill shall be used that will disturb not more than 25% of the soil surface. b. Corn, sorghum, and small grains (chemical only). Use of chemicals to eliminate tillage operations in irrigated cropland or annual cropping systems. The following is required: 1. A contact herbicide plus Bladex, Igran or other short residual (45-60 days) may be used for spring application if needed to control weeds to eliminate early spring and early summer tillage.. 2.

Caution should be taken when applying long residual herbicides annually so no overlap or carry—over effect of chemical occurs. 3.

(Page 4 of 5) TGN #182 (Rev. 4/85) 870085 5� Table 1 - A Guide for Estimating Residue Reduction from Tillage Operations Approximate Percent of Residue Reduction After One Trip or Pass Over Tillage Operation the Field Rod Weeder 10 Sweeps (30" or more) 10 Rod Weeder and Semichisel 15 Till Planter 20 Chisel Plow (straight shanks) 20 Field Cultivator - (16-18 inch sweeps) 25 Sweeps with Flinch Treader 35 Chisel Plow (twisted shank) 50 One-Way or Tandem Disc 50 Moldboard Plow 90-100 D. On cropping sequences where tillage operations are permitted: 1. Subsurface tillage equipment such as sweeps or rod weeders should be used to keep the residue on the soil surface. 2. On soils that tend to crust, or have some slope, a chisel operation across the alope may be needed after harvest to increase water infiltration and reduce soil loss due to runoff. 3. Chemicals may be used to aid in reducing or eliminating tillage operations. Use manufacturers labels or Colorado Weed Control Handbook for specific rate recommendations. The following options are recommended. a. Fall sweep (4 inches deep) Plus Atrazine. Fall sweep immediately (within two weeks) after wheat harvest to kill existing vegetation. Atrazine or Glean applied immediately following fall sweep should control weeds until the next planting season. An application of a burndown herbicide such as Roundup or Paraquat may be necessary if moisture does not become available to activate the residual herbicides. b. Apply a combination of non-selective contact or non-residual herbicides (such as Paraquat or Roundup) Plus Atrazine, Banvel , or Glean to kill existing weeds and for long-term weed control. Keep summer tillage operations to those essential to control weeds. c. Contact herbicide such as Paraquat plus Bladex, Igran or other short residual (45-60 days) may be used for spring application to eliminate early spring and early summer tillage. d. 2,4—D Butyl Ester plus Atrazine, Igran, or Bladex are economical 870085 alternatives if approximately 90% of the fall weeds are broad— leaf. 2. Ridge-till (includes no-till on ridges) The soil is left undisturbed prior to planting. Approximately one-third of the soil surface is tilled at planting with sweeps or row cleaners. Planting is completed on ridges usually 4 to 6 inches higher than the elevation between the rows. Weed control is accomplished with a combination of herbicides and cultivation. Cultivation is used to rebuild ridges. 3. Strip-till The soil is left undisturbed prior to planting. Approximately one-third of the soil surface is tilled at planting time. Tillage in the row may consist of a rototiller, in-row chisel, row cleaners, etc. Weed control is accomplished with a combination of herbicides and cultivation. 4. Mulch-till (includes stubble mulching) The total soil surface is disturbed by tillage prior to planting. Tillage tools such as chisels, field cultivators, discs, sweeps, or blades are used. Weed control is accomplished with a combination of herbicides and cultivation. 5. Reduced-till Any other tillage and planting system not covered above that meets the 1000 lbs. flat small grain equivalent for wind erosion control or 30 percent ground cover for water erosion control. 6. Other Planning Considerations a. Always start a Conservation Tillage Program with a deep chiseling or subsoiling operation to eliminate tillage pans. b. Do not operate tillage equipment at the same depth each year. c. Do not till soil that is too wet or over 70 percent of field capa- city to avoid excessive compaction. d. Use herbicides for weed control in place of tillage when appro- priate. SPECIFICATIONS A. To prevent erosion by water, a minimum of 30Z of the soil surface will be covered by residue after planting. B. To prevent erosion by wind, maintain at least 1000 lbs of flat small grain or its equivalent on the surface during the critical wind erosion perod. C. The goal should be to reduce soil loss by water and wind toward the loss tolerance established for that soil. The Universal Soil Loss Equation and/or the Wind Erosion evaluation will be used to arrive at the amount of residue needed. (Page 2 of 5) TGN #182 'ev. 4/85) 870085 t UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Soil Conservation Service Colorado Technical Guide Section IV All Field Offices April 1985 STANDARD AND SPECIFICATION CONSERVATION TILLAGE (Acre) 329 STANDARD Definition Any tillage and planting system that maintains at least 30 percent of the coil surface covered by residue after planting to reduce soil erosion by water; or :There soil erosion by wind is the primary concern, maintains at least 1000 pounds of flat small grain residue equivalent on the surface during the critical erosion period. Purpose To reduce soil erosion by wind and water, help maintain or develop good soil tilth and efficient moisture utilization, and provide food and cover for wildlife. Conditions where practice applies On cropland and on other lands where vegetation is to be established or reestablished. Planning Considerations Conservation tillage provides a production system that leaves crop residues on the surface after planting. Crop residues are left standing as long as possible prior to the succeeding crop to trap blowing snow and reduce soil erosion by wind and water. Herbicides are used following harvest, prior to and during planting, to control volunteer grain and other vegetation. This practices is most effective when carried out in coniunction with other practices such as strip cropping, terracing and contour farming. One of the following conservation tillage systems should be used: 1. No-till or slot planting The soil is left undisturbed prior to planting. Planting is completed in a narrow seedbed approximately 1 to 3 inches wide. Weed control is accomplished primarily with herbicides. Residue from the preceeding crop is to be retained on the soil surface with the exception of that buried by the drill. 870085 K. Striperopping, Wind 5i, 2 (, 3/83 TGN #200 -2- II. Annual Row Crop Systems A. Strips of high residue producing crops will be' grown in alternate strips with erosion susceptible crops. Strips will be approximately perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction. B. Width and spacing of protective strips: 1. Row Crop Plants — Minimum width of protective strips will be the equivalent width of 4 rows spaced 40 inches apart. Spacing between strips will not exceed 30 feet. 2. Drilled Plants — Minimum width of protective strips will be two rows (12" — 20" spacing) and the spacing between strips will not exceed 30 feet. C. The protective crop will be harvested with a combine or mowed leaving the stubble 12 to 18 inches tall. The protective residue will be left on the soil surface through the critical wind erosion season (Nov—May) or until the seedbed is prepared for the following crop which is expected to occur in early April. Spring seedbed preparation should result in a ridged surface for wind erosion protection. III. Perennial Tall Grass Barriers A. Only tall growing species such as tall wheatgrass , switchgrass , big bluestem, sand bluestem, Basin wildrye and Indiangrass will be planted. Range site descriptions and Critical Area Planting specifications will be used to determine specie adaptation. B . Seedbed preparation will consist of only those operations necessary to assure a firm soil condition relatively free of weeds. Planting in residue from a previous crop is acceptable. C. Colorado Agronomy Note No. 61 will be used to determine amounts of seed to plant. • D. Barriers shall consist of at least two rows of grass spaced .10-40 inches apart as a minimum. E . Optimum barrier spacing will be determined using the Guide for Wind Erosion Control and will be designed as close to this optimum as possible considering equipment widths. F. Weed control will be practiced as needed to control competition until grass is well established. C. Barriers will be periodically mowed or clipped to a minimum height of 8-10 inches to encourage regrowth and prevent decadent stands 'from developing. 870085 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Technical Guide Soil Conservation Service Section IV Colorado All Field Offices March 1983 STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATION STRIPCROPPING, WIND (Code 589) B.

The Universal Soil Loss Equation as presented in Agronomy Technical Note #50 (revised) will be used to determine strip widths. Striperopping alone or in combination with other tillage or management practices is an acceptable alternative for reducing soil erosion to tolerable limits. 2. Maximum strip widths will not exceed 330 feet (20 rods) for slopes of 5% or less or 198 feet (12 rods) for slopes exceeding 5%. 3. Strips should be of equal width and the general pattern should be across the slope of the field. 4. Strips shall not deviate from the true contour by more than one half the land slope. 5. When grass buffer strips are used they will be planted according to the Standards and Specifications for Pasture and Hayland Plantings — Code 512.

This may be a range site or it may be a portion of a site or it mi .;ht he a particular location within the grazing unit such as : S-W portion of grazing unit starting about 200 yards from pond to fence or enter legal description. The Key Grazing Area on which to judge the degree of grazing use will be one which ( 1) provides a significant amount but not necessarily, the majority, of the available forage within a pasture: (2) is easily grazed because of topography, accessible to water, and other favorable grazing distribution factors. Except for small areas of natural livestock concentration within each pasture, such as those around water or salt , key grazing areas are those most likely to he overgrazed when not properly managed; (3) generally consists of a single range site or portion thereof; (4) is usually a single range condition but may include more than one. A pasture usually needs only one key grazing area except in some unusually large pastures or in pastures where more than one species of animal is grazing at the same time, or where a pasture is grazed at different seasons. • In large pastures (generally 640 acres or more in size) where the key grazing area is on a portion of an extensive range site, the key grazing area will be shown on the Conservation Plan Map with the words Key Area and outlined by a broken line. An understanding of key areas and key species by the cooperator can best he developed when he participates in ranch conservation planning. • f . Kev Plant(s) for Judging Proper Grazing Use: Enter the species by common name on which you and the cooperator decide proper grazing use will be judged. There may he occasion when you will select two species , in this case enter the name of both species. TG Notice No. 107 Colorado SCS June 1982 870085 528-3 Proper Grazing Use 1 . Key plant(s) selected should: • a. have a relatively high grazing preference by the kind of animal grazing the pasture for the season of use concerned, as compared with other associated plants within the key grazing area. (Exclude so-called ice cream plants) . They should provide more than 15% of the readily available forage in the key grazing area. When the management objective is based on the increase of a species which is currently providing less than 15% of the available forage but which has the potential for a significant increase in production, it may be used as the key species . b. be a major component of the climax plant community, if the major objective is to maintain or improve the plant community to a relatively high ecological condition. c. he a perennial , except where the grazing is to he specifically for the p<,rpetuatton of annuals of good forage value. p.

All critical area plantings shall be fertilized unless field evidence or a laboratory soil analysis indicates sufficient amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus are present for establishment of vegetation. 2. The rate of fertilizer application shall be no less than 40 pounds of nitrogen (N) and 40 pounds of phosphate (P205) per acre. Animal manures or similar organic material may be used to supply all or part of the specified nutrients. 3. Time of application shall be immediately prior to seeding, at the time of seeding, or immediately following seeding, as applicable to the kind of fertilizer and type of equipment used. Seedbed preparation The seedbed shall be well settled and firm, but friable enough that seed can be placed at the seeding depths specified in "Depth of seeding." The seedbed shall be reasonably free of weeds. Competitive stands of weeds that are present before seeding must be controlled by shallow tillage or by application of herbicides labeled for this purpose. Soils that have been over-compacted by traffic or equipment, especially when wet, should be tilled to break up rooting restrictive layers, and then harrowed, rolled or packed to prepare the required firm seedbed. Methods of seeding 1. Seed should be planted with a drill on all slopes of 33 percent (3:1) or flatter. The drill must have the capability of handling the kind and rate of seed being planted. 2. Seed may be broadcast by hand, by mechanical spreader, or by hydraulic equipment on areas that are small, too steep, or not accessible for seed-drill operations. This specification does not provide for hydraulic application of seed and mulch in a single operation. Depth of seeding 1. Seed planted with a drill shall be covered with soil to adepth of 1/4 to 3/4 inch. 2. Seed planted by the broadcast method shall be incorporated into the surface soil, not to exceed a depth of 3/4 inch, by raking, harrowing or other proven method. 3. Indian ricegrass may be seeded to a depth of 2 inches on sandy loam and loamy sand soils. 870085 1 USDA/SCS/COLORADO 7/81 TGN #170 i:1 ( 1 . 1 Al . ., I' I.inl in;� ii.' Time of seeding Grasses, legumes and other seeded species shall be planted within the seeding periods specified in Table 1, with the provision that up to 10 days tolerance from the specified periods may be allowed for the purpose of adapting to local soil moisture conditions. Rocky Mountain peustemon, hairy vetch, milkvetch and Indian ricegrass should be planted in the fall so that freezing and thawing can break seed dormancy for spring germination. Table 1.

Purity and germination tests for all lots of seed shall be less than one year old. Selection of species • Species planted shall be selected from the tables of "Perennial Grasses and Forbs for Critical Area Plantings" and from the table of "Woody Plants for Critical Area Plantings" attached to this specification (Tables 2 through 12) . Use the attached map of Major Land Resource Areas as a guide to the plant tables. The tables list species that are normally available on a commercial basis. Other plants that are indigenous to the site may also be planted whenever available. TGN #170 USDA/SCS/Colora��djor-y7/8811 870085 Mulching Critical area plantings shall be mulched where rapid establishment of seeded species is essential , or where one or more of the following factors are likely to cause failure of the planting, as determined by the responsible technician. 1. Low or erratic precipitation 2. Droughty or slowly permeable soils 3. High soil temperatures 4. Erosive soils 5. Drying winds Where need for mulching has been determined, follow standard and specifications for "Mulching" (484). Cover crops or crop residues produced on the site will satisfy mulching requirements if present in sufficient quantity to provide needed soil protection and moisture conservation. Planting trees, shrubs and vines 1. Planting of woody plants must be done in late winter or early spring before bud burst. 2. Roots shall be kept moist at all times before planting. 3. Roots should be spread out as close to natural position as possible during planting. 4. Holes shall be deep and wide enough to accommodate seedlings without bending roots. 5. Stock should be set the same depth as in the nursery or slightly deeper. In no case should a plant be set shallower than it was in the nursery. 6. Soil shall be packed well around roots until seedling cannot be easily pulled from the ground. Care should be taken to eliminate all air pockets in the soil around the roots. 7. Plants shall be watered at planting time. Supplemental water for establishment of plantings 1. Seeded plantings. In low rainfall areas, where water is available and where rapid establishment is needed, irrigation of new seeding should be performed during the first growing season. Water should be applied at approximately 1-week intervals, at a rate of 3/4 - 1 inch per application, when rainfall is deficient for plant development. 2. Woody plantings. Woody transplants should be watered at time of planting, followed by application of at least 1 gallon per plant per week, applied to the soil at the base of the plant during the first growing season. 870085 USDA/SCS/Colorado-7/81 TGN #170 Prot c< ti nn of planting. Planted sites shall be protected from trampling and grazing until plants are well established. In heavy-use areas, critical area plantings should be protected by fencing or barriers. Woody seedling transplants may be protected from rodents and browsing animals by enclosing the plant in Vexar tubing or by painting with animal repellent. The Vexar tubing must be anchored to the soil by means of a lath or long wire staple to prevent removal of the tubing by wind. TGN #170 USDA/SCS/Colorado-7/81 870085 N Z III in OC 8I z s a . 0 W i ?

BOX 1946 ' GREELEY, COLORADO 606322 k COLORADO September 16, 1986 Howard Foster Grover, CO 80729 RE: Reminder for Compliance with Weld County Ordinance 108-A Dear Mr. Foster: Enclosed please find a copy of Weld County Ordinance 108-A and a copy of the findings and order of the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County. As you recall, on August 6 , 1986 , the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County ordered you to obtain a permit pursuant to Weld County Ordinance 108-A within thirty (30) days thereof. The permit is to include the property described in paragraph number one (1) of the order. Mr. Greg Snell, Assistant to the District Conservationist for the Weld Greeley Soil Conservation District, told me by phone that he had issued you a Conservation Plan as of last week. He said that the delay was not your fault; rather, the District has been behind on issuing its conservation permits. Therefore, I will not seek strict compliance with the Board ' s order by saying that you must have obtained a permit by September 5 , 1986 . You must, however, obtain a permit as soon as possible. Please be sure to note the collateral requirement found on pages 4 through 6 of the Ordinance. You must submit one (1) of those forms of collateral along with the permit fee in order to obtain a permit. 8 70085 If you should have any questions or comments concerning this letter or concerning the collateral requirements of Ordinance 108-A, please feel free to call me at 356-4000 , Ext. 4391 . Very truly yours , Bruce T. Barker Assistant County Attorney BTB:rm Encl. 870185 Hello
