Attachment_7_Contractor_Weed_Spraying_Monitoring_Data_Sheet.docx

This is a contractor monitoring data sheet template for weed spraying activities related to invasive plant treatment at Grand Teton National Park. The document provides standardized forms for tracking the effectiveness of herbicide application and monitoring compliance with contract requirements.

The sheet contains two survey components. The first is an ocular survey section requiring documentation of location/site information, coordinates, contract type, surveyor names, date, and a description of the survey route walked. This section captures estimated percentages of dead plants by species. The second component is a walking and plot survey section that applies when less than 90% of plants have been sprayed. It requires surveyors to document survey information using specific materials including a meter/imperial measuring tape (minimum 30 feet), two clickers for counting dead and live plants, and a chaining pin if fewer than three surveyors are present. The survey records multiple plots with starting and ending locations, coordinates, and calculated control percentages based on dead, alive, and total plant counts. The template is designed to provide quantifiable data on contractor performance in achieving weed control objectives through both visual assessment and systematic plot surveys.
