1. INTRODUCTION

Context of Weed Management

The Chickasaw Agency (Agency) is responsible for managing approximately 74,000 acres of trust and restricted lands on behalf of the Chickasaw Nation and individual members of the Five

Civilized Tribes within the Chickasaw Nation. To support the health and productivity of these lands, the Agency has developed a Noxious Weed Control Program to improve pasture and rangeland conditions. The purpose of this program is to prevent the introduction, establishment, and spread of noxious weeds on trust and restricted lands under the Agency's management.

Through effective weed management practices, the program enhances forage production, maintains land productivity, and protects the long-term value of each tract.

Noxious plant species have expanded rapidly across the United States, including throughout

Indian Country and within the Chickasaw Nation. New noxious species continue to emerge each year, creating significant economic challenges for agricultural operations, particularly on rangelands. In addition to reducing forage quality and livestock productivity, noxious weeds often provide inferior wildlife habitat compared to native vegetation. Their continued spread alters natural ecosystem processes, reduces native plant diversity, and, in some cases, threatens the local extinction of native species. If left unmanaged, noxious weeds pose a serious threat to both the economic sustainability of working lands and the biological heritage of the region.

Recognizing the significant economic and ecological impacts of noxious weeds, the State of

Oklahoma enacted the Oklahoma Noxious Weed Law, which designates musk thistle, Scotch thistle, and Canada thistle as noxious weeds and public nuisances. The law requires landowners and land managers to control these species on their properties. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in enforcement actions, including the assessment of fines.

Site Inspection by Bidders

Bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project area during the open bid period prior to submitting a bid. It is not possible for the Agency to identify or describe all site conditions, access limitations, terrain features, vegetation conditions, operational constraints, or other factors that may affect the work or the Contractor's costs. Prospective bidders are responsible for obtaining all information necessary to prepare their bid and to understand the conditions under which the work will be performed.

Site inspections may be conducted only during the open bid period and must be completed prior to bid submission. Inspections are limited to observation by foot or by aerial means. The use of motorized vehicles, including but not limited to automobiles, trucks, all-terrain vehicles

(ATVs), utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), motorcycles, or other motorized equipment, is prohibited

2 | P a g e on the properties prior to contract award unless specifically authorized in writing by the

Contracting Officer or Agency Coordinator.

Submission of a bid shall constitute acknowledgment that the bidder has either inspected the project area or otherwise satisfied themselves as to the conditions affecting the work, including site access, terrain, vegetation, and operational requirements. Failure to inspect the project area shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to perform the work in accordance with the contract requirements.

2. LAND CLASS / DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY

Boundaries

The Agency has management responsibility for approximately 74,000 acres of trust and restricted lands owned by the Chickasaw Nation and individual members of the Five Civilized

Tribes within the Chickasaw Nation. These lands consist of numerous scattered tracts located throughout 13 counties in southern Oklahoma.

To promote effective vegetation management and long-term rangeland health, adjacent properties and properties located within the same geographic area are managed as a common vegetation management unit whenever practicable, regardless of ownership. This coordinated approach allows for more efficient treatment of woody plant encroachment and noxious weed infestations, reduces the potential for reinfestation from neighboring properties, and supports the long-term productivity, sustainability, and ecological integrity of trust and restricted lands throughout the Agency's jurisdiction. (See image below)

3 | P a g e

Resource Base

The lands managed by the Agency consist primarily of agricultural rangelands utilized for livestock grazing and forage production. These rangelands support a mixture of native plant communities and improved introduced forage species. Some tracts also contain cultivated cropland used for the production of small grains and winter forage crops. In addition, a limited amount of commercial forestland occurs within the Agency's jurisdiction.

Revenue generated from these lands is derived primarily from agricultural activities, including grazing and crop production, as well as oil and gas development. Woody plant encroachment and noxious weed infestations pose a significant threat to the productivity and value of these resources by reducing forage availability, limiting agricultural use, and negatively impacting rangeland health.

As a result, vegetation management efforts under the Brush Control Program are focused primarily on agricultural rangelands used for grazing and forage production, where treatment activities can provide the greatest benefit to land productivity, resource conservation, and long-term economic return.

4 | P a g e

3. INVENTORY OF WEED SPECIES

Inventory of Weed Species

Noxious weed inventories are conducted twice annually by agency personnel during lease compliance inspections. During each inspection, noxious weed species are identified, mapped as appropriate, and the severity of infestations is classified in accordance with the Oklahoma

Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry (ODAFF) regulations.

Infestation severity is categorized as follows:

(1) Light infestation Less than two (2) plants per acre.

(2) Medium infestation Two (2) to nine (9) plants per acre.

(3) Severe infestation Ten (10) or more plants per acre.

4. MANAGEMENT GOALS AND WEED MANAGEMENT

OBJECTIVES FOR THE PROPERTY

Land Management Goals

The Agency’s primary goal is to preserve and increase the value of the natural and financial resources under its management. By effectively controlling noxious weed infestations within the Agency’s jurisdiction properties are maintained at their optimal condition. Productivity of the properties is greatly improved with proper noxious weed management, resulting in increased economic return. By decreasing competition from noxious weeds, desirable species are maintained and increased benefiting both livestock and wildlife through increased forage production.

Weed Management Objectives

The Agency's primary land management goal is to preserve and enhance the ecological integrity and economic value of the natural resources under its stewardship. Effective control of noxious weeds is essential to maintaining agency-managed properties in a healthy, productive condition.

5 | P a g e

Proper noxious weed management improves rangeland productivity by reducing competition for water, nutrients, sunlight, and growing space. This allows desirable native and introduced plant species to establish and thrive, resulting in increased forage production for both livestock and wildlife. Improved vegetation health also contributes to greater ecosystem resilience, enhanced habitat quality, reduced soil erosion, and increased long-term economic returns from agricultural and grazing operations.

Through an integrated and adaptive weed management program, the Agency seeks to protect and restore healthy plant communities while ensuring the sustainable use and productivity of its lands for future generations.

Description

The Agency has identified a need for noxious weed treatment on Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) restricted lands within designated areas of the Chickasaw Nation. The project encompasses approximately 1939 acres located in Carter, Gravin, Grady, Johnson, Love, and Stephens

Counties, Oklahoma.

For this project, musk thistle (Carduus nutans) has been identified as the highest-priority noxious weed species requiring treatment due to its adverse effects on rangeland productivity and native plant communities.

The objective of this project is to achieve a minimum of 90 percent control of noxious weeds on each designated treatment tract. Combined with ongoing Integrated Weed Management (IWM) efforts, this level of control is intended to significantly reduce existing infestations and support the long-term goal of eradicating musk thistle from trust and restricted lands within the

Chickasaw Nation, where feasible. Continued monitoring and follow-up treatments will be conducted as necessary to prevent reinfestation and promote the establishment of desirable vegetation.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES AND HERBICIDE

APPLICATION

SAFETY, EQUIPMENT & APPLICATION

1. The safety of the general public will be the primary consideration when conducting herbicide treatments.

2. The Contractor will provide sufficient clean water to ensure workers have the opportunity to immediately wash off any chemicals inadvertently splashed onto the skin or into the eyes.

3. All personnel involved in pesticide application must be properly trained and licensed.

Protective clothing and equipment, as specified on EPA-approved product labels and the

National Pesticide Applicator Certification Core Study Manual (e.g., coveralls, unlined chemical-resistant gloves and boots, safety glasses, hard hat, respirator, as appropriate), will be worn by workers directly involved in herbicide applications and by employees using hazardous tools or equipment. The applicator must possess and maintain a valid

Oklahoma Pesticide Applicator License or be trained in herbicide application while working under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator. All personnel handling pesticides will read the product label and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each product before handling or applying the pesticide.

4. During mixing and loading operations, personnel will wear the protective equipment specified on the product label, including, as applicable, a full-length apron, face shield, unlined chemical-resistant gloves, and liquid-resistant footwear.

5. Spray pressures for handheld spray guns and boom sprayers will meet product label and nozzle requirements. All equipment will be properly calibrated before applications are made to ensure accurate mixing and application rates and to prevent field errors.

Equipment calibration will be checked at least once each month during periods of use, or more frequently if equipment is used extensively.

6. Spray nozzles must be set to produce spray droplets with a median diameter of 200 microns or greater. Ground vehicle equipment will normally operate with boom pressures between 20 and 35 pounds per square inch (psi), unless otherwise specified by the product label.

7. Herbicides will be mixed and loaded in an area where an accidental spill cannot enter a stream, water body, or contaminate groundwater. Mixing is prohibited in riparian areas.

Applicators are required to have an emergency spill kit available to contain and clean up minor spills. Spills of any size will be reported to the Contracting Officer or Agency

Coordinator.

10 | P a g e

8. When vehicle-mounted or hand-held herbicide applications are conducted, wind velocity must be 8 mph or less, except in riparian areas where wind speed must be 5 mph or less, unless otherwise specified by the product label. Herbicides will not be applied when wind speeds are less than 1 mph or when the air temperature exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

9. Equipment will be cleaned only in designated areas away from waterways, reservoirs, wells, and stock tanks. All pesticide containers will be triple-rinsed, and the rinse water will be added to the spray tank. Empty containers will be disposed of through a state-approved recycling program, an approved landfill, or another authorized disposal facility in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and Tribal laws.

10. Pesticide application records shall be maintained and submitted in accordance with the reporting requirements of this contract.

TREATMENT

Treatments will be conducted in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and Tribal regulations, including the Sikes Act (16 U.S.C. § 670 et seq.), as amended; the Federal Land

Policy and Management Act (FLPMA); Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. §§ 7701 et seq.); and the

Federal Noxious Weed Control Act, as amended by Section 15 of Public Law 93-629. These laws and policies direct the BIA to coordinate with appropriate Federal, State, Tribal, and County agencies responsible for noxious weed management and to conduct weed control activities in cooperation with those entities.

1) Manual Removal. Hand pulling and the use of hand tools may be employed when other methods are not feasible or effective for controlling or eradicating targeted noxious weeds.

This method is generally most effective for new or small infestations. Personnel will wear appropriate gloves and other required personal protective equipment (PPE) during manual removal activities.

2) Selection of Treatment Method. The selection of a treatment method will be based primarily on the target noxious weed species. Additional factors include the treatment objectives, site topography, anticipated costs, equipment limitations, and the selectivity and effectiveness of the proposed herbicide.

3) Herbicide Use. Commercial herbicides will be used only when the target noxious weed is known to be susceptible to the selected product. Under typical conditions, the herbicide should be capable of suppressing or controlling a minimum of 90 percent of the current year's growth of the target species with a single treatment. However, in large or dense infestations, achieving 90 percent control during the first year may not be realistic, and follow-up treatments may be necessary.

11 | P a g e

4) Protection of Non-Target Vegetation. Every reasonable effort will be made to minimize adverse effects on non-target woody plant species, including oak, pinyon pine, and juniper.

These species provide important wildlife habitat, contribute to soil stability, and enhance visual and ecological resources.
