You have, however, plowed out this waterway. You are therefore ordered to revegetate the waterway with Western Wheat and Blue Gramma grasses. The planting of such grasses must be done before June 18, 1985. If you do not comply with this Order and do not revegetate this waterway, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, will consider the revocation of Permit No. 85-10, the directing of persons chosen by the Board to revegetate the waterway, and the assessment of the costs of said revegetation against you.

Greeley, Colorado 80631 APR 2 41985 Gentlemen: On behalf of the board of supervisors for the Centennial Soil Conservation District, I am writing this letter to inform you of non-compliance with an approved conservation plan prepared for Vangraefschepe Farms. According to a plan prepared by our district, drainageways on land to be plowed in the NI of Sec. 6, Twp. 7N, Rng. 56W were to be left in natural vegetation. Contrary to this, Vangraefschepe Farms has plowed out these drainageways as totally as possible with the equipment available. It is the opinion of our board of supervisors that drainageways an the land in question need to remain in natural vegetation to avoid the possibility of these waterways becoming deep gullies. This requirement was very specific in the conservation plan which we prepared for Vangraefschepe Farms. Sincerely, Tom Fehringer,, president (--\?

Meakins, County Extension Director RE: Roadside Spraying for Grasshopper Control Dear Commissioners: The State Department of Agriculture has agreed to pay two-thirds (2/3) of the total cost of roadside spraying for grasshoppers, not to exceed $3.00 per acre with a total not to exceed $10,000. This is the same type of agree- ment that was made last year. Due to the severity of the grasshopper population last year and to the survey outlook for this year, I ask that the Board of Commissioners request the $10,000 in State cost share money as two-thirds (2/3) of our roadside grasshopper program. This request needs to be sent to Colorado Department of Agriculture, c/o R. I . Sullivan, 1525 Sherman Street, Denver CO 80203. At this time only $100,000 will be available from the State on a first-come basis. Weld County' s only involvement in this program would be to pay for the spraying bill and seek the 100% reimbursement from the State of Colorado. The county' s one-third (1/3) share would be the equipment and labor for spraying. This would not be an additional charge as we already have that equipment and labor working on weed programs; we just add chemical for grasshoppers. Thank you for your cooperation. Mario R.
