RE: GRAD -3346
Dear Andy,
Vegetation Management
The Noxious Weed Inventory and Management plan and proposed seed mixes for this project is acceptable.
Since the initial noxious weed survey was done in 2012, the county listed noxious weed, Jointed Goatgrass has increased
in the CR 200 area. The applicant is encouraged to follow Item 13, Exhibit 3 of the permit application that states:
Before any mobilization of equipment onto public lands, to prevent the spread of invasive species, the operator will
perform inspections to insure that all construction equipment and vehicles are clean and free of soil, mud and vegetative
material. Avoid driving through or parking on weed infestations.
Staff requests that the applicant follow those recommendations, particularly in the areas where the pipeline intersects
areas infested with Jointed Goatgrass. The maps included with this permit application indicate those areas. See Figure 2
C.
The Community Development Department has requested a revegetation security of $13,450
The security shall be held by Garfield County until vegetation has been successfully reestablished according to the
Reclamation Standards section in the Garfield County Weed Management Plan. The Reclamation Standards at the date
of permit issuance are cited in Sections 4.06, 4.07 and 4.08 of the Garfield County Weed Management Plan (Resolution
#2002-94).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Steve Anthony
Garfield County Vegetation Manager
