Attached Sheet: Weld County Compliance Certificate
Question 10 A:
Target Pest(s): Purple Loosestrife, Russian olive, Tamarisk, Canada Thistle, Field Bindweed, Diffuse
Knapweed, Russian knapweed, Hoary Cress, Perennial Pepperweed, Leafy Spurge, Musk thistle, Scotch
thistle, Bull thistle, Absinth Wormwood, Dalmatian Toadflax, Spotted Knapweed, Russian Thistle, Kochia,
Sunflowers, Curly Dock and Cockleburs.
The first fourteen plant species are deemed noxious weeds by the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
They need to be controlled and not allowed to expand their population borders. Some of the species are
also set for mandatory eradication based on the location of the weeds along routes of spread such as
roadsides, irrigation ditches and rivers.
The last five species are nuisance weeds that limit visibility and movement along the road system in
Weld County.
Question 10 B:
Due to the size of Weld County and the number of miles that must be maintained throughout the
County, no other pest management measures are implemented before the roadside spraying operation
begins. While the roadside spraying operation is being conducted decisions are made in the field as to
the need to spray areas as the trucks are passing by.
