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: Sections 9, Township 1
North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The property is designated in the Weld
County Assessor's Office as parcels number 146709103 004.
The noxious weeds present on the property include: 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, 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 June 17, 2022, or submit an acceptable weed management
plan with an acceptable completion date or request an arbitration panel by June 17, 2022. If you
do not comply by June 17, 2022, 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 970-400-3769 for me and 970-400-3770 for Tina
Booton. I can also be reached by email at: rbrecheisen@weldgov.com.
