RE: Notice of the Need for the Control 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 7 Township 1
North, Range 63 West of the 6'h P. M., in Weld County,Colorado. The property is designated in the Weld
County Assessor's Office as parcels number 147707000027 & 147707000028.
The noxious weeds present on the property include: Canada thistle(Cirsium arvense)and Russian
knapweed(Acroptilon repens)
Because these weeds are nearing bloom stage, they must be controlled and kept from going to seed.
Presently, the best methods of control are: 1)to mow as necessary throughout the year to keep the weeds
from going to seed(3-5 times)and then spray with herbicides in the fall.2)to mow throughout the season
to keep the plants from going to seed, 3)to spray with herbicides up to the early flower stage.
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 July 5.2014 or submit an acceptable weed management plan
with an acceptable completion date or request an arbitration panel by July 5,2014. If you do not
comply by July 5,2014, 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 970-304-6496,ext. 3770 for Tina Booton or 3772 for me.
I can also be reached by email at: klynch@weldgov.com.
Sincerely, 11,94/d
