These species for Weld County include: absinth wormwood and Dalmatian toadflax, north of Highway 14. To achieve the goal for eradication, additional cost -share funds are needed to assist landowners with this requirement. This grant would provide $35,200 to address noxious weeds. $20,000 will be used to cost -share with 30 landowners at the maximum rate of 80% at $700 to treat Dalmatian toadflax. In 2016, 44 landowners entered into cost -share agreements totaling $19,000 to treat the Dalmatian toadflax. A number of new landowners have started the eradication process. It is essential to have funds available to assist in this process. $15,200 will be used to hire a seasonal staff member to assist with the grant project including mapping and distributing the cost - share funds. The total local match is $44,160. The 90% of the local match is in -kind from the Weed Division Budget in the amount of $9,755.00, CDOT: $2500.00, USFS Pawnee National Grassland: $12,000, Colorado State Land Board: $3500.00 and West Greeley Conservation District: $10,300.00. There will be $6000.00 matched from the landowners who receive cost -share funds. These in -kind expenditures are for chemical treatments along Hwy 85, WGCD newsletter, treatments on the USFS PNG lands, and County staff time to oversee the program and continue to work with landowners. If the grant is awarded WGCD will also match the grant funds with $10,000 cash to help with cost -share for Dalmatian toadflax. All applications have to be submitted via an Internet link. The grant application is due to Colorado Department of Agriculture on January 20, 2017. What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options) 1.

General Project Description Dalmatian toadflax is a high priority species for eradication in Weld County. brought to our attention from concerned landowners. Since 2000, we have mapping the changes of the infestations over the years and working toward treatments. The momentum and understanding of the importance of addressing manner to limit it taking over has finally caught on. Since 2014, a large number chemical treatments to start addressing this species. In 2016, a large number chemical applications on their properties. Forty-four landowners participated share assistance with an additional dozen landowners qualifying for funds dispersed. Dalmatian toadflax infestations are scattered over 91,000 acres in the northwest CR 13 to CR 77 and from CR 90 to CR 140. Approximately 440 acres are Absinth wormwood is set for eradication by 2020. In 2014 the last non -compliant chemical treatments. In 2016 Weld County worked with the landowners infestations are reducing in size or have been eradicated. Additional scouting locations was also done in 2016 providing a solid boundary of where absinth does not exist. Absinth wormwood is found along a six mile stretch of the 69. With help from Colorado State Land Board and the USFS PNG this The assistance from this grant will help keep the momentum going for mapping toadflax and absinth wormwood.

A few of the landowners with Dalmatian toadflax infestations have very small infestations on their property. These landowners have chosen to pull their plants. They understand that they will have to pull multiple times each year with constant monitoring to verify that the infestations are being kept under control. A few of the landowners with Dalmatian toadflax infestations have organic properties or have large properties with inaccessible infestations, such as steep draws. These properties are using biological control to work at reducing the infestations. These infestations are scattered throughout the entire area. Having biological control next to and near other infestations will allow containment and isolation from each other. The rest of the properties, county rights -of -way, and the highway 85 right-of-way will use timely chemical treatments to continue working toward eradicating the Dalmatian toadflax. These chemical treatments will include the use of Picloram or Chlorsulfuron. Due to the nature of Weld County's weather, most of the treatments will be done in late spring and early summer. Describe the areas you will treat. Discuss land ownership, geographic area (county, town, watershed), habitat type, etc. The Dalmatian toadflax infestations are in northwestern rural Weld County. The properties infested include small acreages, ranches, state lands and federal lands. Some of the properties are under CRP contracts while others are actively farmed; some run cattle and horses and others are left for the antelope to roam. There are numerous dry drainages until rain storms occur and then the drainages carry water downstream. This area has a large number of acres that are not visible from county roads making the area time consuming and difficult to inspect. The landowners include people who live on the land, out of state owners, state owners and federal ownership. Describe the history of treatment and the long-term management objectives for this species. Since the Dalmatian toadflax infestation was brought to the County's attention in 2000 the goal for treatments has been eradication. The complication of reaching this goal has been seasonal staff or lack thereof in the early years after identification. In 2006, a solid effort was made to map the Dalmatian toadflax and educate the landowners about the Dalmatian toadflax in their area and seek compliance. With budget cuts, staff was pulled from the area believing that the landowners were working on their infestations as cost - share money was trickling out the door. In 2010 we started reaching out to landowners again to check in and see what progress was being made. Halfway through the 2010 season staff numbers reduced and the Dalmatian toadflax was left. In 2012, a grant from Colorado State Land Board hired a season long staff member to map, treat small infestation on private lands and rally the landowners to get behind treating the Dalmatian toadflax. 2012 showed that we had lost some ground. That landowners did not continue to work on the infestations when left on their own. A solid effort has been made since 2014. Additional cost -share money was secured for landowner treatments. A seasonal staff member was hired and dedicated to the Dalmatian toadflax area. This momentum was continued in 2015 with additional cost -share funds, mapping and working with landowners. The seasonal staff member returned adding to the effectiveness of the program by knowing the landowners and the infestation locations. 2015 was the first year that a few biological insects were released. In 2016, a combination of a new seasonal staff member and the previous staff member continued working with the landowners. More cost -share funds were distributed to landowners treating their Dalmatian toadflax. These funds went out to over 50 landowners in 2016 alone. An additional 24 biological control insect collections were released. The targeted eradication date for Dalmatian toadflax in Weld County is 2019 for lands south of CR 126. North of CR 126 the goal for Dalmatian toadflax is suppression.

We already have permission from all landowners impacted with this species. A quick reminder call will be made in the spring that we will be coming back in to treat this species on all lands along Willow Creek. This initial treatment will be made in late May/early June with mapping points taken. A follow up treatment will be made in September/October to catch any missed patches or new patches that started over the summer. Mapped points and pictures of 2017 will then be compared to points taking in 2014 through 2016. Describe the areas you will treat. Discuss land ownership, geographic area (county, town, watershed), habitat type, etc. This species is along Willow Creek in northern Weld County. This creek can flood in some of the rain storms throughout the season. It has pockets that hold water year round and other areas that dry up during the summer to allow crossing back and forth. Ownership is divided between private lands, Federal lands and State lands. However, only 4 different entities/individuals run cattle on all of the lands. All of the absinth wormwood infestations are landlocked. So access has been difficult over the years. Describe the history of treatment and the long-term management objectives for this species. This species existence was brought to the County's attention in 2003 when a few plants were identified on the shoulder of CR 59. This started the focus of treatments on the roadside along with identifying the neighboring lands on each side of the road. The Forest Service stepped up and started treating their lands on the west side of the road and farther east along Willow Creek in ex -closures (areas fenced off from livestock). Contacting and working with the landowner on the east side of the road has been a long process of negotiating which finally led to them agreeing to treatments in 2014. From 2004 until 2014, Willow Creek was scouted to the east. Treatments were started on newly identified infestations along this three mile stretch of the creek. In 2016, additional scouting to cover all of Willow Creek was conducted. This scouting shows that absinth wormwood is along willow creek in small patches from CR 59 to CR 69. It does not exist past CR 69 at this time. The scouting done in 2016 identified a few more infestations beyond what we historically had been working on. These newly identified infestations were also treated in 2016. The goal for Willow Creek absinth wormwood is eradication by 2020. With the progress that has been made and with continued efforts, this goal is attainable. We are working on depleting the soil seed bank. If your project includes treatment on List C species, describe those plans here. Be sure to include specific species to be addressed, acreage values (if known), management techniques, expected impact, long-term management plans, and why treatment on this species should be a high -priority for funding. Projects that treat only List C species will not be funded. NA What is your deliverable for this component? NA If your project includes information gathering or treatment on the four eligible Watch List species (common reed/Phragmites sp., yellow flag iris, baby's breath, and swainsonpea), describe those plans here. Be sure to include which species will be addressed, why this species is a priority in your area, and what will be done in terms of this species. Surveying for populations, setting up ways to observe behavioral patterns, and genetic testing for Phragmites sp. are examples of Watch List species projects that could be considered. NA What is your deliverable for this component? NA Prevention & Education Does your project have a prevention or education component? If so, describe what it entails, and what outcomes you expect to achieve. Specifics should include your target audience and how you plan to expand the knowledge of noxious weeds to underserved or new audiences in your area.

This workshop is sponsored by the West Greeley Conservation District, Weld County NRCS and Weld County. Landowners with known Dalmatian toadflax and their neighbors will be invited to the workshop. Topics covered during this workshop will Dalmatian toadflax biology, ID, why the concern, and control options. To follow up the momentum the seasonal will meet with these landowners and their neighbors to map the infestations, follow up on control implementation and offer cost -share assistance. This will provide additional one on one education. Besides the established fact sheets that will be updated in early 2017, 35 face -book posts will be done once a week throughout project. These face -book posts will cover these species as well as other species. There will be 21 submissions to the Fence Post on weed ID and 9 full length articles submitted to Lost Creek Guide. The workshop will aid in the prevention aspect by increasing awareness in the area among the landowners so that small infestations will be addressed in a timely, effective manner. The seasonal technician will also scout outlying areas around the infestation to verify the perimeter of the infestation is not expanding.

If CDA see the ability to combine multiple projects/grant applications, you may be contacted so that your grant needs have a higher likelihood of reaching their full potential. Describe any partnership(s) that exists for this project. Include how long each partnership has existed and the responsibilities and contributions of each partner. Describe their value to you in terms of achieving your management goals and the long-term plan and commitment to future participation. (If this is a single -applicant project type N/A.) Without the support of and working with our partners, Weld County would not be able to accomplish all that we do. Every year it is more difficult to address the movement of the noxious weeds in the County with development and growth, oil and gas, and the changes in out -of -area landowners. Knowing that these partners are a call away for brainstorming, an extra set of eyes to help report sightings, treat weeds on their own lands, as well as willing to put money out to help with landowner compliance means everything. Weld County is the third largest county in the state, making it difficult to cover all of the private and land- locked properties under our jurisdiction. These partnerships keep growing and improving with each year. For this project the partnership breaks down as follows: Colorado State Land Board: Is covering a portion of the absinth wormwood treatments as well as purchasing additional biological control agents for the Dalmatian toadflax infestations on their properties bordering the Wyoming state line. These funds total $3500. This partnership has been in existence since 2000. West Greeley Conservation District: Will provide cost -share funds for Dalmatian toadflax control in the amount of $10,000 as well as help sponsor the educational workshop expenses at $200. Over the years, WGCD has passed on weed specific information in their newsletters, helped host other educational workshops and created a calendar for 2017 that talks about conservation aspects as well as a different noxious weed each month. This partnership has been in existence since 2002. USFS Pawnee National Grassland: $12,000 in -kind for them to treat and monitor their own lands for Dalmatian toadflax. Together we will address the absinth wormwood on all lands along Willow Creek. This partnership has been in existence since 2005. CDOT: $2500 cash for the Weld County Weed Division to spray Highway 85 from Nunn to Wyoming. The current partnership with financial support from CDOT has been in existence since 2011. Weld County Weed Division : Is matching with $9755 in -kind to implement and carry out the grant activities including supervision, vehicle, mapping equipment and software, spray equipment, and chemical as well as other incidentals.
