3 Noxious Weed Survey Report Grass Mesa Telecommunications Tower 1.0 Introduction HRL Compliance Solutions, Inc. (HRL) was contracted by Mountain Radio Systems (MRS) on behalf of David Hatch, the private landowner, to conduct a noxious weed survey and prepare a survey report to be included in the Grass Mesa Tower LIR application packet. The survey was conducted on a portion of the 35-acre property located at 1885 County Road 319, Rifle, Colorado (Township 6 South, Range 93 West, in the NW¼SW¼ of Section 23). The Noxious Weed Survey Map in Appendix A depicts the location of the subject property and the area surveyed. This document reports the findings of the desktop and field assessments conducted on April 24, 25, and 26 of 2017, and provides descriptions of Colorado and Garfield County listed noxious weeds observed within the survey area. 2.0 Survey Methods A preliminary desktop review of the project area was conducted using satellite imagery and topographical maps to familiarize HRL s environmental scientists with the project area and to help determine the potential presence of noxious weed species. The desktop survey included review of state and County noxious weed species lists provided by the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) and Garfield County Vegetation Management. Review of plant species was assisted through occurrence records collected by SEINet Specimen Records (SEINet). On April 26, HRL environmental scientists Brackett Mays and Kaiti Dillion collected a site-specific inventory of noxious weed species and their extents within the project s boundaries. Additionally, a list of all vascular plant species observed onsite was compiled. Field data was collected with the aid of a Trimble GeoXT GPS unit utilizing NAD83 map datum, with all coordinate locations based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system in Zone Applicable Laws, Regulations, and Policies The CDA has officially designated 82 plant species as noxious, which are separated into three (3) lists. List A species are noxious weed species that are not common to the state and are subject to eradication wherever detected to protect neighboring lands and the state as a whole. List B species are noxious weed species with discrete statewide distributions, for which the Commissioner, in consultation with the state noxious weed advisory committee, local governments, and other interested parties, develops and implements state noxious weed management plans to stop the continued spread of the species. List C species are generally widespread and well-established species for which control is recommended but not required by the state. State noxious weed management plans support local governing bodies to provide education, research, and biological control resources to jurisdictions that choose to require management to List C species. An additional watch list was created for species that have been determined to pose a potential threat to the agricultural and environmental values of the state. Page 1
4 Noxious Weed Survey Report Grass Mesa Telecommunications Tower The watch list is provided for advisory and educational purposes only. Appendix B contains the Colorado Noxious Weed List (including the watch list), effective March 31, The Garfield County Noxious Weed Management Plan was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on May 1, The Garfield County Weed Advisory Board has specified certain plants as noxious weeds of concern in Garfield County. The purpose of the plan is to provide guidelines for managing designated noxious weeds which represent a threat to the economic, environmental, and agricultural value of lands in Garfield County. Refer to Appendix C for the Garfield County Designated Noxious Weed List. The Garfield County Noxious Weed Management Plan can be accessed at: documents/weed_management_plan_adopted_.pdf. 4.0 Site Characteristics 4.1 Topography The proposed tower location is positioned at the latitude and longitude of N, W and at an elevation of 6,175 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). The western half of the subject property is comprised of relatively flat, dry, non-irrigated grasslands sitting atop Grass Mesa. The eastern and southern portions of the survey area in the property are comprised of rocky, moderate slopes supporting a pinyon pine-juniper woodland ecotype. For further information on the site s natural resources, please refer to the Biological Assessment Report completed for the survey area on the subject property. 4.2 Noxious Weeds The field survey took place prior to the predominate flowering period for many plant species in the area. Detection and identification remained effective due to identification of plant species based on active and remnant growth stages, basal rosettes, and residual flower remains. Two (2) noxious weed species were identified within the survey area: Downy brome (Bromus tectorum) and Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense). The small patches of noxious weeds were observed in low densities solely within the dry, non-irrigated grassland vegetation community on the northwestern portion of the property. The noxious weed locations were concentrated along the roadsides, roadside ditches, and within the low-lying swale on the northwest side of the property. Refer to the Noxious Weed Survey Map in Appendix A for noxious weed locations. 5.0 Conclusion The small patches of noxious weeds observed within the survey area were insignificant, with low densities of the two noxious species found. Based on the small footprint needed for the project and the minimal amount of temporary land disturbance, noxious weed species introduction and propogation is expected to be minimal. Noxious weed control will be managed by the private landowner and noxious weeds should be controlled using an integrated approach according to Garfield County s Noxious Weed Management Plan. Page 2
