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: Section 36 Township 1 North, Range 65
West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The property is designated in the Weld County Assessor's
Office as parcel number 147336000043.
The noxious weeds present on the property include: ,Scotch thistle (onopordum acanthium) and Musk thistle
(carduus nutans).
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 April 27.2018 or submit an acceptable weed management plan
with an acceptable completion date or request an arbitration panel by April 27, 2018. If you do not
comply by April 27, 2018, 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: sdallman@weldgov.com.
Sincerely,
Scott Dallman
Weld County Landowner Specialist
