*The five counties also agree to control purple loosestrife where found within the project.In addition, Weld County
will work with landowners in the project area to manage:musk and scotch thistle;Russian and diffuse knapweed.
1. What local, regional, and/or statewide problem(s) does this project address?
Leafy spurge and Canada thistle are designated noxious weeds in the five counties of the
project area. They infest watershed areas and the common county borders. Left
unmanaged, these infestations will spread vegetatively and by seed to disperse onto lands
not currently supporting populations of these two species. This will negatively impact
the native vegetation, wildlife, and agricultural activities in the project and downstream
areas.
2. Who will benefit from a solution to this problem beyond the immediate participants of
the proposed project?
Public and private landowners within this five-county region as well as in adjacent
counties will benefit directly through increased crop and forage productivity and
recreational usages and reduced land management costs. The project will enhance the
effectiveness of landowner weed management efforts. Publicity of the project will
increase the public awareness of the noxious weed problem.
3. Project need: describe the local and state weed management needs this project will
help meet.
Leafy spurge and Canada thistle are on Colorado's top ten prioritized weed species list
and on the weed list of each county in the project. This project will fulfill the need to
establish a focused, coordinated effort for curtailing the spread of leafy spurge and
Canada thistle across county boundaries and along common waterways. It will reduce the
economic and ecological threat of these two weeds by establishing a focused regional
weed management effort. It also will provide desired and needed state financial
assistance.
4. Attach a project abstract(one page maximum) that describes the proposed project (its
goals, tasks, and time line) and demonstrates that it is an efficient and effective
approach to achieving project goals and objectives as well as resolving recognized
problems and needs.
See attached Project Abstract (Addendum B)
5. List the proposed project's specific measurable and obtainable objectives. Attach an
outline of tasks and time line to achieve these objectives.
This project's measureable objectives and timeline to achieve these are outlined below.
Refer to the answer to #4 (Project Abstract) for an outline of tasks the project will
employ.
A. Eradication of 25% of small (<25 m2) infestations of leafy spurge and Canada thistle
within the control areas of the project after three years. Eradication of 10% of small
infestations at the end of the first year.
B. Reduction of medium and large infestations of these two weed species by 40% of
current acreage amounts within the project boundaries by the end of three years.
Reduction of 10% of the small and large infestations by the end of the first year.
_z_
C. Enlist active participation of 75% of the landowners in the project area by the end of
three years. Active participation of 40% of the landowners at the end of the first year.
6. Describe the strategy for monitoring and evaluating program results (in the short and
long term) including how success will be defined and measured.
Project results will be monitored as follows. As weed management efforts are initiated
with each landowner, baseline data will be collected by using GPS units and establishing
photopoints. Photopoints will be taken yearly during the implementation phase. At
conclusion of the project, GPS and photopoints will be taken to compare with baseline
data. Success will be defined according to the following criteria:
Excellent- reduction of the project area weed acreage by 50%by 2001 & active
participation of> 75% of land owners/managers.
Good -reduction of the project area weed acreage by 25% by 2001 & active
participation of at least> 50% of land owners/managers.
Fair - reduction of the acreage by 10%by 2001 & active participation of at least
>25%of land owners/managers.
Failure - increase of the project area weed acreage by 2001 & active participation of
<25% of land owners/managers.
7. Describe the management techniques used in an IPM system of treatments and the
sensible strategies employed to ensure efficient and effective treatments.
Landowner education focusing on integrated weed management concept will be the first
step in our IPM system.
Then grazing, mowing, equipment clean-off, introduction of biological control insects,
herbicide applications, and reseeding will be used in a selectively integrated manner, as
appropriate for each infested site. Use of weed free forage and mulch will be promoted.
8. What public and staff education/information will be incorporated as a part of the
project?
The following methods will be used in educating landowners and the public: news
columns, newsletters, radio broadcasts, weed booth at trade shows, and a five county flier
with information about the program, including identification, biology, and management
strategies for controlling leafy spurge and Canada thistle.
Personal contact with landowners will include: workshops, small group sessions, and
one-on-one meetings.
9. Describe in detail the nature of the partnerships formed by this project, the
responsibilities and contributions for which each will be responsible, and any formal
or informal agreements among partners. Attach documentation.
In addition to the 5-County IGA the following partnerships have been formed:
(See Addendum A for IGA and supportive documentation):
3
Adams County: Adams County partnerships include written letters of support and
commitment between the Adams County Extension/Weed Office and Adams County
Parks, Adams County Weed Advisory Board, Colorado Department of Transportation,
Brighton Parks, and South Adams County Water and Sanitation District.
Boulder County: Boulder County is a partner with the U.S. Forest Service and the City
of Longmont in an MOU for weed management in the three-agency owned Buttonrock
Reservoir region near Lyons, CO. We are also in the process of formulating an MOU
with Longmont& Boulder Valley Soil Conservation Districts for noxious weed
management.
Larimer County: Larimer County partnerships include an MOU with the Colorado
Department of Wildlife (the DOW has pledged$7,000.00 for weed control on their lands
within project boundaries), and a contract with the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT will expend $700.00 within project boundaries).
Morgan County: Morgan County partnerships include an MOU with the Colorado
Division of Wildlife (DOW has pledged $5,700.00 for weed control on lands within the
project boundaries). It also has written letters of support& cooperation with the Wiggins
and Morgan Weed Districts.
Weld County: Weld County partnerships include letters of commitment, MOU's, and
contracts between the Weld county Public Works Department and the West Greeley SCD
($10,000.00), Colorado Division of Wildlife ($2,000.00), Colorado Department of
Transportation ($500.00), US Forest Service/Pawnee National Grasslands ($750.00), and
City of Greeley ($ 2,000.00).
10. Describe local commitment to the project including local fees or regulations altered to
ensure project success, resource-sharing arrangements designed to enhance cost-effec-
tiveness, local taxing efforts to address continuing needs, and local citizen support.
Adams County: local citizen support has been shown by active participation the past two
years by 13 landowners in the voluntary leafy spurge management program along Kiowa
Creek. This participation will be enhanced by use of successfully received grant funds.
Other local support is evidenced by the five(5)attached letters of support and commitment.
Boulder County: Leafy spurge does not infest a significant number of acres in Boulder
County at this time. Funds accrued (should this grant be approved)will be used to assist
private land owners manage these noxious weed species where they occur along transpor-
tation corridors and waterways. Leafy spurge management will have higher priority than
Canada thistle because it presently occurs in controllable densities. Boulder County's
goal is to contain the spread of these species by first controlling it where it has the
greatest capacity to spread.
Larimer County: The response we receive from landowners due to our costshare
program hs increased two-fold this year. The Department of Wildlife and Larimer •
County work together to ensure that the management of weeds on their properties is
achieved in a timely and effective manner. Larimer County and CDOT work closely
on the States secondary road system within Larimer County.
4-
Morgan County: Morgan County Commissioners are increasing spending in 1998 by
67% ($5,000.00) from the general fund for weed management for this project. They will
also offer to landowners cost-share of 50% on herbicides as well as providing the use of
two backpack sprayers and one 25-gallon sprayer. Colorado State University
Cooperative Extension and the Colorado Division of Wildlife are cooperating on a study
and field demonstration of grazing synergy with other control measures on Canada
thistle.
Weld County: Weld County Public Works staff has worked closely with hundreds of
of landowners every year on landowner compliance with the state weed laws. Additional
funds have been allocated by the Weld County Commissioners ($16,000.00/year starting
in 1998) specifically to work with landowner education and compliance. State grant
funds will further landowner compliance through cost-sharing on weed control efforts
and revegetation programs.
11. How will requested state assistance, if provided this year, help create a long-term
solution to the current problem?
Project partners and landowners will be empowered and encouraged to initiate or further
their management of the 2 project weeds on a focused, regional level through use of
State funds. As a result of the IGA and sharing of common goals among project
participants, momentum should be continued towards eradicating and confining existing
and new infestations of the 2 weeds.
12. How will the project be sustained (funded) in future years?
Funding will be generated through a combination of public funds (state, county, and
weed district budgets),participating Soil Conservation Districts, foundation and grant
funds, and property owner fees. We fully anticipate that the cooperating landowners and
state, county, and municipal governments will continue and possibly increase funding
commitments.
13. In what specific ways will state fund be utilized (purchase of equipment, cost-share
agreements, etc.)?
Adams County: Purchase of one (1) GPS receiver $ 3,000.00
Cost-share herbicides (50%-50%) 1,000.00
2 Solo backpack sprayers to lend 200.00
$ 4,200.00
Boulder County:Monies allocated to Boulder County, as a result of this grant proposal,
would primarily be dispensed by the Soil Conservation District in the form of cost-share
appropriations to private landowners. Projects will be prioritized with regard to infesta-
tion size and proximity to waterways and rights-of-way, where avenues for spread are
greater.
