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 property which is owned, leased,and/or occupied by you and located in
Section 24, Township 2 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The
property is designated in the Weld County Assessor's Office as parcel number 131324000072.
The noxious weeds present on the property include musk thistle (Carduus nutans).
Because these weeds are going to seed and producing viable seed that will infest neighboring
lands, they must be mowed, cut or disked under to keep from blowing.
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. Please be advised that if you do not control or
eradicate these weeds by August 10,2014, 1 will ask the Board of County Commissioners of
Weld County for permission to enter the property to use one of these methods of control or
eradication 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,
