NOXIOUS WEED MANAGEMENT Sample Clauses
The Noxious Weed Management clause establishes the responsibility for controlling and eradicating invasive or harmful plant species on a property. Typically, this clause requires the party in possession of the land—such as a tenant, contractor, or landowner—to regularly inspect the premises and take appropriate measures, like mowing, spraying, or removing weeds, to prevent the spread of regulated noxious weeds. Its core function is to ensure compliance with local or state weed control laws, protect agricultural productivity, and prevent environmental damage caused by unchecked weed growth.
NOXIOUS WEED MANAGEMENT. All equipment used in road construction and off-road logging activity must be pressure-washed by the Purchaser and inspected by the Forest Officer prior to entering the sale area. This cleaning will remove all dirt, plant parts, and material that may carry noxious weed seeds into the sale area. Other equipment and vehicles entering and leaving the sale area shall be cleaned prior to start up and kept reasonably clean during the course of operations. All subsequent move-ins of logging and construction equipment shall be treated the same as the initial move-in.
NOXIOUS WEED MANAGEMENT. The Purchaser may be required to perform noxious weed management on any of the roads designated as part of the haul route and on landings. Noxious weed management may include grass seeding, equipment washing and herbicide spraying.
1. Grass seeding, if required, is shown in Section IX, GRASS SEEDING SPECIFICATIONS.
2. All road construction equipment and equipment used in off-road logging activity must be pressure- washed by the Purchaser and inspected by the Forest Officer prior to entering the sale area. This cleaning will remove all dirt, plant parts, and material that may carry noxious weed seeds into the sale area. Other equipment and vehicles entering and leaving the sale area shall be cleaned prior to start up and kept reasonably clean during the course of operations. All subsequent move-ins of logging and construction equipment shall be treated the same as the initial move-in.
3. If spraying is required in Attachment B, it shall be done by a commercial applicator licensed by the State of Montana or by personnel under the direct supervision of the licensed applicator. All herbi- cide applications shall follow EPA label requirements. Any weed control must comply with the current standards of the County Weed Board and as directed by the Forest Officer.

All herbicide applications shall follow EPA label requirements. Any weed control must comply with the current standards of the County Weed Board and as directed by the Forest Officer.
4. 95% of treatments will be accomplished with Milestone at 6 oz per acre + 0.25 oz Metcel per acre Hi-Dep or Platoon at 16-32 oz per acre depending on severity of infestation. All applications must be made using a 90% nonionic surfactant (i.e. Penetrator, R-11, etc.). 5% of treatments will use the above-mentioned herbicides but are site specific and may only constitute using one of the above herbicides or a partial combination. Site specific due to being in close proximity to streams, groundwater, and other sensitive areas.

NOXIOUS WEED MANAGEMENT. The following text describes how noxious weed management will be approached and funded with respect to acquired lands, per SA 508, which specifies that, “The plan [TRMP] shall address how noxious weed management considerations will be addressed when evaluating land acquisition proposals or other activities pursuant to Articles 502, 503, 504, and 505.” Puget Sound Energy will evaluate the extent of noxious weed management required for each tract under consideration for acquisition or land management activities. The evaluation will include the steps described below. Each step will be developed in coordination with the TRIG, and will require TRIG approval prior to implementation. Prior to acquisition:
1. Conduct reconnaissance level field surveys to determine occurrence of weeds listed by Washington State and/or the county. This will be a cursory look without extensive data gathering or analysis.
2. If weeds occur on the site, determine if any of the following three conditions exist:
a. The species is a Class A or Class B designate in the county/region where the tract occurs; or
b. The weeds preclude or inhibit attaining the habitat value for the species for which the tract was acquired; or
c. There is a comprehensive strategy on adjacent lands that applies to the weed species on the tract (e.g. Skagit basin knotweed control strategy).
3. If any of the three conditions (2a, b, or c) exist, then complete more accurate surveys, develop site and species-specific treatment plans for the tract, and estimate costs for management of the weeds, so the TRIG can evaluate the cost/benefits of acquiring the tract. After acquisition:
4. Management funds from the acquisition articles will only be used to manage weed sites if any of the three conditions (2a, b, or c) above are applicable. If conditions a, b, or c are not applicable, but there is a legal requirement for weed management, then funding will come from a source other than article management funds. In all other respects, management of elk habitat lands will comply with the noxious weed plan (Noxious Weed Plan, SA 508).

All equipment used in road construction and off-road logging activity must be pressure-washed by the Purchaser and inspected by the Forest Officer prior to entering the sale area. This cleaning will remove all dirt, plant parts, and material that may carry noxious weed seeds into the sale area. Other equipment and vehicles entering and leaving the sale area shall be cleaned prior to start up and kept reasonably clean during the course of operations. All subsequent move-ins of logging and construction equipment shall be treated the same as the initial move-in. Regularly inspect, remove, and properly dispose of weed seed and plant parts found on clothing and equipment.
NOXIOUS WEED MANAGEMENT. Pinyon is preparing a Noxious Weed Management Plan (Plan) that will describe the noxious weeds observed in the study area based on the results of the biological resources survey conducted by Pinyon in 2019. The Plan is being submitted concurrently with this Change Order and will provide recommendations on the best approach for weed management, consistent with Fort ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ and Larimer County’s Noxious Weed Management Plan. These recommendations will be based on the noxious weed species noted during the Pinyon’s 2019 Biological Resources survey. Recommendations will include priorities for noxious weed management, noxious weed management techniques, and timing of noxious weed control. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ assumes one round of revisions from Civilworx and one round of revisions from the City of Fort ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Pinyon assumes additional coordination with the City will be required and that an additional site visit may be necessary to complete detailed mapping of noxious weed locations. Time for this site visit is included in the Change Order fee for this task. In addition, the anticipated continued coordination is included in this scope and fee; however, should it go above and beyond what is anticipated, this scope and fee may need to be revisited. Construction oversight and monitoring scope and fee are not part of this Change Order; however, these services could be provided, if needed.
