Integrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan
Garfield County Special Use Permit Condition
Oxy Gas ComPanY
September 2005
Prepared by: WestWater Engineering
in coordination with
Cordilleran Compliance Services
INTRODUCTION: This plan is an tntegrated Vegetation and Noxious Weed Management Plan
f"r O*Vt Conn Creek Treating Facility. Total project site is approximately 20 acres and includes
about 4 acres of tenrporary disturbance. Site inspection by a biologist was conducted on
September 26,2005.
The facility is located on a dry terrace above the intermittent fork of Conn Creek. Nearby natural
meadows are primarily big sagebrush plant communities. The riparian plant community has
relatively high diversity of shrubs with a few boxelder trees inter-mingled on the margins of the
nuurow floodplain. Adjacent meadows south of the site have been seeded with introduced
grasses and were probably irrigated when water was availab1e. Soils are composed of eroded
shale and texture is fine to moderately fine.
NAME OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT FACILITY: Conn Creek Treating Facility.
PEYSICAL ADDRESS OF PROPERTY: Wl/z Sec. 32, T.65., R.97W., 6m P.M. (Figure 1.)
AMOUNT OF INFESTED LAI{D TO BE TREATED: Approximately 4 acres are infested
with musk thistle. The infestation is primarily composed of first year roseties. Density of plants
is low throughout the infestation except for a few isolated spots of medilrm density. The
floodplain riparian plant community is infested with corrmon burdock. Both rosettes and seed
bearing burdock plants are mostly confined to the riparian plant community. Visual observations
at the site indicate that both species of noxious weeds were probably present on the site when
work commenced. The primary source of seed for both species appeils to be adjoining land to
the south of the project site, though several seed bearing plants of both species were found on the
project site. No other species of noxious weeds were found on the site or nearby. A pipeline
right of way east of the site is infested with musk thistle. The infestation appears recent with
rosettes significantly more common than seed-producing plants.
TARGETED WEEDS: Table I lists weeds which could be found in the project vicinity and are
likely subjects of future control efforB at the site, as well as the two noxious species (common
burdock and musk thistle) known to be present at the site (bold t)"e). This infornration is
presented here to provide Oxy field staffa guide to monitoring and conhol of noxious weeds at

Strategies summarized in Table 2 for annuals and biennials and in Table 3 for perennials are
those found to be most effective depending on the growth habits of each species, i.e., annual,
biennial, orperennial. During the inspection of September26,2005 no perennial noxious weeds
were found on the site.

Table 3. TREATMENT STRATEGIES FOR PERENNIALS
PERENNIALS Target: deplete nutrient reserves in root system, prevent seed
production
1) Allow plants to expend as much energy from root system as possible, do not treat when first
emerging in spring but allow growth to bud/bloom stage-
2) Herbicide treatrrent at bud to bloom stage or in the fall. In the fall plants draw nutrients into
the roots for winter storage. Herbicides will be drawn down to the roots more efficiently at this
time. If the weed patch has been there a long time, another season of seed production is not as
important as getting the herbicide into the root system. Spraying in the fall will kill the
following year's shoots, which are being fonned on the roots at this time.
3) Mowing usually is not recommended because the plants will flower anyway; seed
production may be reduced, however. Many studies have shown that mowing perennials and
ipraying the re-growth is not as effective as spraying without mowing. Effect of mowing is
species dependent; therefore, it is imperative to know the species and its bio
CURRENT AMOUNT OF II\FESTED LAND TO BE MANAGED: Approximately 4
acres.
AREA TO BE TREATED: The area to be monitored and treated as necessa.ry is approximately
20 acres total (Figure 2. TreaingFacility Plan View).
METHODS OF TRBATMENT:
Re-vegetation.
It is recommended disturbed areas be re-seeded with the following seed mix:
Table 4. Recommended Seed Mix for Treating Facility
Scienfifrc Name Common Name
Application
Rate
Lbs PLS/acre
Pascopyntm smithii Westem wheat$ass 4
Elymus lanceolatus lanceolatus Thickspike wheatgrass aJ
P s eudoro e gtreia s pi c ata s p icata Bluebunch wheatgrass 2
Achnatherum hymenoides Indian ricegrass I
Atriplex canescans Fourwine saltbrush 1.5
Astragalus cicer Cicer milkvetch 1
Onobrvchis viciaefoli Sainfoin I
Total 13.5
The recommended seed mix is the equivalent of approximately 35 seeds/ft.'. Se"d should be
applied with a broadcast seeder followed by harrowing with a sharp-toothed harrow to achieve
cover depth rangtng fromYo to 2 inches inches. Monitoring of the reseeding should be
a
perforrned at least twice per ye,r Gpring and fall) to determine seeding success and needs for
reappiication.
Weed Monitoring.
Monitoring for targeted weeds should be performed on a weekly basis beginning at spring grcen
up and continuing through the growing season-
Monitoring by qualifred personnel should be conducted using Table 5 as a general guide to key
plant growth periods and best control periods.
MechanicaL
Seed producing plants of common burdock and musk thistle should be cut, bagged and disposed
of in a lanffill as soon as Practical-
Observed weeds, particularly rosettes, will be controlled when possible and practical first by
mechanical means, primady hand grubbing or pulling.
Control of listed species in nearby disturbed areas is recommended to reduce the risk and rate of
infestation.
Chemical.
Spot treating is recommended in temporary disturbance areas immediately adjacent to the
Tieating fa-itty and in the riparian plant community through the project site.
Chemicals typically used include synthetic auxin growth regulators (e.g.,2,4D; tordon, banvel,
and garlon), ppSp synthase inhibitors (e.g., glyphosate) or a mix of these.
In all cases, the certified applicator shall deem which chemical(s) and at what concentration(s)
shall be used at the time oiapplication. However, it is anticipated the aforementioned classes of
chemicals will be first choice of most Certified Appticators or Qualified Supervisors.
private Company: It is recommended a private contractor be engaged to conduct the weed
control, e.g., Andy Julius, Certified Applicator's License No. 11210, Julius Ag,2169I-70 West
Frontage Road Debeque, CO 81630, 970-379-6917.
Additional Information: Table 5 is a guide to timing of key biological processes and the best
time to confiol the subject species on an annual basis-
