This annual report is required to cover all chemical applications for the 2015 calendar year. This includes bare- ground treatments from January 1 , 2015 through December 31 , 2015 as well as all roadside treatments and handgun applications made during this same time frame. When this permit started in 2013 and 2014 this report was submitted before a threshold of 20 linear miles or 80 surface acres was reached. In 2015 CDPHE changed the process to report after the year ended so that quantities reported would be accurate instead of estimated values. A fee of $275 will be assessed with the submission of this annual report. A bill will be mailed in April after CDPHE has received our report. This fee was included in the Weed Division budget planning process for 2016. Attached is the completed compliance certificate for 2015 for review and signature . What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options) Option A- Sign the annual report. Option B- Authorize another agent to sign the annual report. Recommendation: Option A- Sign the annual report. Approve Schedule Recommendation Work Session Other/Comments: Mike Freeman, Chair riNe Sean P.

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 four 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. 12 . Name of each pesticide product used.
