Attachment_7_Contractor_Weed_Spraying_Monitoring_Data_Sheet.docx

This is a contractor monitoring data sheet template for weed spraying operations related to the Grand Teton National Park invasive plant backpack treatment contract. The document provides a standardized form for contractors to document the results of herbicide application activities through two distinct survey methodologies.

The ocular survey section requires contractors to record the location, coordinates, contract type, surveyor names, and date of inspection, followed by a description of the route walked and estimated percentage of dead plants by species. If the ocular survey indicates that less than 90% of plants have been sprayed, contractors must conduct more detailed monitoring plots and walking surveys. The walking and plot survey section requires documentation of specific survey locations, contract information, and materials used (measuring tape, clickers for counting, and chaining pins). Contractors must record dead plant counts, live plant counts, total plants, and control percentages for up to five separate plot locations, culminating in a site total that aggregates all monitoring data. This template establishes consistent documentation standards for measuring the effectiveness of invasive plant treatment activities performed under the backpack spray contract for Grand Teton National Park.
