About this file
This is an Invasive Species Eradication Plan prepared by the Camp Dawson Army Training Site Environmental Office for the West Virginia Army National Guard. The plan outlines herbicide application, mechanical, and manual control measures to eliminate invasive plant species across four training area tracts totaling 69 acres in Preston County, West Virginia. The project encompasses treatment of the Camp Dawson Tract (26 acres), Volkstone Tract (22 acres), Pringle Tract (12.5 acres), and Briery Tract (8.5 acres). Treatment areas include security fence perimeters, motor pools, compounds, firing ranges, airfields, riverbanks, and various building perimeters. Primary target species for control include multiflora rose, Japanese knotweed, autumn olive, tree-of-heaven, Japanese stilt grass, giant knotweed, oriental bittersweet, bush honeysuckle, Japanese barberry, winged burning bush, European privet, wintercreeper euonymus, Japanese spirea, Japanese honeysuckle, English ivy, and mile-a-minute vine. Work is scheduled for implementation in 2026, with treatment periods varying by location from March through September.
The plan specifies herbicide products to be purchased and stored by the West Virginia Army National Guard at Camp Dawson, including Garlon 3A, Habitat, Escort XP, Rodeo, Pathfinder II, Vantage, and pre-emergent Esplanade, with a non-ionic surfactant additive. Control methods include conventional volume foliar spray (approximately 50 gallons per treated acre), basal bark application for taller vegetation, and pre-emergent applications on motor pool areas. A certified pesticide applicator must supervise all applications in accordance with product labels. The contractor must contact the Camp Dawson Environmental Office weekly and daily when working on or near active firing ranges. Workers must maintain a daily pesticide application record documenting products used, application methods, acreage treated, weather conditions, and other pertinent information. All herbicide containers will be returned to Camp Dawson pesticide storage, and unused products remain the property of the West Virginia Army National Guard.

GOAL
To reduce the proliferation and dominance of invasive plant species. To allow the preservation and restoration of native forest vegetation of greater ecological and economic value.
Objective Through herbicide application, mechanical and manual control, greatly reduce or eliminate invasive plant species from the Camp Dawson, Volkstone, Pringle, and Briery Tracts.
Background This plan is to provide information on specific control activities recommended for control of invasive species on all Camp Dawson Tracts in 2026.
In 2004 a major effort was undertaken in portions of the Volkstone Tract to control, by herbicide injection and basal bark treatment, the tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) that had become established on the tract. Follow-up treatments were applied in subsequent years to complete the eradication of tree-of-heaven and control other invasive species in these same stands and additional areas on the Volkstone and Camp Dawson Tracts. The Pringle Tract was first treated in 2009, and the Briery Tract was treated for the first time in 2010.
Invasive species generally display several or all of the following characteristics:
Rapid growth and establishment Produce prolific numbers of seed Reproduce aggressively by vegetative reproduction Long flowering and fruiting period Tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions, especially disturbed soils Invasives will compete and replace native vegetation Restricts military and civilian land use activities Limits areas where soldiers can train Invasive plants can be hazardous to soldiers training
Strategy for work to be completed
1. Camp Dawson Perimeter Security Fence (8800’x30’). Control grasses (4-foot strip) and unwanted woody vegetation within the 30-foot buffer area of the fence. Control grasses (2-foot strip) and unwanted woody vegetation along the Northeast perimeter fence line (Also called the golf course fence line), treatment area is from the Front Main Gate to the South Gate.
2. Camp Dawson Airfield and riverbank (D1). Control unwanted grasses on airfield, as well as control invasive species and unwanted woody vegetation on riverbank.
3. Camp Dawson gas shut-off, control unwanted grasses and vegetation within gas shut-off exclusion fence.
4. Control grasses and unwanted vegetation along compounds and motor pool fence lines.
Includes all motor pools, compounds on Camp Dawson and Volkstone Tracts.
5. Control grasses and unwanted vegetation around firing points and gravel areas on all flat ranges near South gate.
6. Volkstone Tract, treat all building perimeters, two-foot treatment area for all structures.
Volkstone Motor Pool Compounds, Volkstone low angle site, Volkstone C-130 aircraft.
7. Volkstone Tract, Stand V10 marsh area and forestland, treat all invasive species.
8. Volkstone Tract, perimeter security fence line. Control grasses (4-foot strip) and unwanted woody vegetation within the 30-foot buffer area of the fence.
9. Volkstone Tract, control invasive species and unwanted vegetation around Conex buildings and within the graveled area inside Shanty Town Village.
10. Pringle Tract, control invasive species along the Vance LZ access road and field edges.
Treat invasive species and woody vegetation within the MOUT Site and along adjacent roadsides.
11. Pringle Tract, Control invasive species and unwanted vegetation within the equipment staging areas and buildings located on the Jobs & Hope site.
12. Briery Stands, Treatment of invasive species, weeds, and woody vegetation on the Briery Tract MRF Range [ Roads and Roadsides, all gravel, Firing positions, Zero range, Around building perimeter and range tower]. Treat Quarry LZ for all woody and shrub species.
Total Treatment acreage: 69-acres
Target Species;
The invasive plants that are targeted for control are the following, in order of frequency:
Multiflora Rose, Rosa multiflora Japanese Knotweed, Polygonum cuspidatum Autumn Olive, Elaeagnus umbellata Tree-of-Heaven, Ailanthus altissima Japanese Stilt grass, Microstegium vimineum Giant Knotweed Fallopia sachalinensis Oriental bittersweet, Celastrus orbiculatus Bush honeysuckle, Lonicera morrowii Japanese Barberry, Berberis thunbergii Winged Burning Bush, Euonymus alata European Privet, Ligustrum vulgare Wintercreeper Euonymus, Euonymus fortunei Japanese Spirea, Spirea japonica Japanese Honeysuckle, Lonicera japonica English Ivy, Hedera helix Mile-a-Minute, Polygonum perfoliatum
A complete list of invasive exotic plants known to be present that are not targeted for control (but may be treated at the discretion of the Contractor), is included in Appendix B.
Terrain The portion of the Volkstone Tract that is on the uphill side of Rt.72, and Camp Dawson Security Fence is steep and rocky and is crossed by several small stream valleys. The slope ranges from nearly level in some sections to over 100% slope (45 degrees) in other areas.
The parts of the Volkstone and Camp Dawson tracts near the Cheat River are generally less steep, but include short sections of steep slopes in gullies, road banks and riverbanks. Some areas have numerous small boulders on the surface, and some areas have a good deal of multiflora rose or blackberry in the understory, making walking difficult.
Access Many old logging and mining roads have been opened for access to the Volkstone Tract.
There is vehicular access along the entire Volkstone tract along Rt. 72 at the bottom of the hill.
The former railroad right-of-way is open and passable by motor vehicles. Most areas to be treated on the Dawson Tract are accessible by roads or trails. Access to the Dawson Tract is limited due to the perimeter fence. Contact Camp Dawson Range Control or Operations (OPS) (304-791-4070/4183) and/or Camp Dawson Environmental Office (304-791-4130) on questions for access or security issues, Security (304-791-4140 office, 4318 front gate).
Live Firing Range for Camp Dawson There is an active firing range adjacent to the south section of the Security Fence Line for Camp Dawson. The Safety Danger Zone (SDZ) is identified on the Camp Dawson and Volkstone Tracts map (Appendix D & E). Briery Tract has a MRF Range, work is strictly not allowed beyond the locked range gate when the range is “hot”. Prior to working in these areas, the contractor will notify the Camp Dawson Environmental Office (304-791-4130 Office #/4134/4135) and/or Camp Dawson Range Control (304-791-4070, OPS (304-791-4180).
When the range is hot or active, a red range flag is flown at the ranges and at the Access Control Point (Front Main Gate).
Work Site Coordination Requirement Contractor will contact the Camp Dawson Environmental Office weekly to avoid military training conflicts and to gain access to the Army Training Sites. The contractor will be responsible for contacting the Camp Dawson Environmental Office and Range Control daily when pesticide application work is performed on any Range, Camp Dawson Perimeter Fence Line, and Camp Dawson 25-meter Firing Range.

Control Recommendations Research and experience have shown the impracticality of manual or mechanical cutting.
Ailanthus re-sprouts and root suckers extensively and with great vigor. The target shrub and vine species would also re-sprout after cutting. The only practical control in the circumstances found here is the judicious use of chemical herbicides. All herbicide applications should be made according to label requirements under the supervision of a certified pesticide applicator (either contractor or contractor’s employee).
The herbicide products to be used include (Herbicide selection may change due to availability):
Garlon 3A – triclopyr (amine) Habitat - imazapyr Escort XP – metsulfuron methyl Pre-emergent, Esplanade (EPA Reg. No. 432-1516) Rodeo - glyphosate Pathfinder II – triclopyr (ester) Vantage – sethoxydim
Garlon 3A mixed with Escort XP will be the herbicide solution applied for general purposes on most of the new treatment area. This combination has been shown to be particularly effective on tree-of-heaven, multiflora rose, autumn olive, oriental bittersweet, and Japanese barberry, and is somewhat effective on Japanese knotweed and most other woody plants. Accord or Accord-Habitat mix will be used in some areas for Japanese knotweed and for treatment of other species in the same Stands that are being treated for knotweed. Vantage will be used for control of Japanese stilt grass. Since Escort may not be used where it is likely to enter the water, Japanese knotweed growing directly on the stream banks or riverbank should be treated with either Accord Concentrate or Habitat. Pathfinder II is a pre-mixed product that is used for basal bark treatment of taller trees and shrubs.
These products are intended to move though the plant, including the root system, to kill the plant and control root suckering. Escort, Accord, Vantage, Habitat and Pathfinder II have a “Caution” signal word, an indication of very low toxicity. Garlon 3A has a “Danger” signal word, indicating higher toxicity, and Garlon is an eye irritant that can cause irreversible damage, so PPE, including protective eyewear and gloves is especially important. Detailed information is provided in the product label and material safety data sheet (MSDS). A high-quality non-ionic surfactant such as ChemSurf 90, Clean Cut, or Methylated Seed Oil should be added to the spray mix to improve dispersion, adhesion and penetration. Accurate measurement and very thorough mixing will be needed due to the tiny but potent amounts of Escort XP used, and the need to get and keep the Escort XP in suspension.
Post-treatment effects of foliage deformation and necrosis should be visible within four days of application for the Garlon mixtures, within ten days of application for the Accord mixtures, and within 20 days of application for Vantage or Habitat mixtures.
Conventional Volume “Spray to Wet” Foliar The method of invasive exotic plant control to be used on the most accessible and heavily infested parts of the tract is a high-volume foliar spray. The volume rate used here should be approximately 50 gallons of solution per sprayed acre but will vary considerably depending on target plant height and density. The foliage of all target plants up to 12 feet in height should be thoroughly wet, but not to the point of runoff. The application may be made using vehicle-mounted sprayer, ATV-mounted sprayer, or backpack sprayer. This method has the advantage of being able to quickly treat taller stems and larger areas that are dominated by undesirable plants. The foliar treatment must be done when the foliage is dry and should not be applied when significant rainfall is expected within two hours.
The rate of herbicide application in this method should be on a “spray to wet” basis. The foliage and twigs of the target plants should be thoroughly wet but not dripping off. The primary spray solution should be made up of 1 ounce (by weight) of Escort XP herbicide, 1.5 gallons of Garlon 3A herbicide, and 2 quarts of Clean Cut surfactant in enough water to make 100 gallons. Re-stated in another manner the primary mix is 1 oz. (by weight) of Escort XP per 100 gallons, 1.5% Garlon 3A, and 0.5% Clean Cut. A dye such as Hi-Light or Bullseye may be added. For stilt grass control use Vantage at 1.5%. For treatment of knotweed areas, the first or second year, use Accord Concentrate at 1%. For treatment of previously treated areas the mix used will be 1% Accord Concentrate and 0.5% Habitat.
Basal Bark Application The third, and much less extensive, method of controlling tall tree-of-heaven, autumn olive, privet, multiflora rose, and climbing oriental bittersweet vines, to be used on this property will be basal bark application of herbicide onto the individual stems of the target plants. This method would be used on any plants that are too tall to be foliar treated. The application should be done using a backpack sprayer and a narrow-angle even flat fan nozzle such as a 40.02E nozzle or an adjustable cone nozzle such as a Y3 tip. On shrubs and vines the spray treatment should be 12-24 inches in height from the ground line, depending on stem size, and on tree-of-heaven the treatment should be at a height of the diameter plus 10, expressed in inches.
The product to be used for basal bark treatment is Pathfinder II herbicide, a pre-mixed ready-to-use combination of triclopyr (ester) and an oil carrier.
The basal bark application may be made regardless of weather conditions or expected rainfall if the bark is not wet at the time of treatment. The basal bark treatment should be applied during the period of May 1 to September 1.
Pre-emergent Herbicide Application Apply prior to annual weeds and grass germination, recommended to apply before a rain event of at least ½-inch of rainfall. All applicators will follow recommended application rates. Pre-emergent herbicide will be applied to all motor pool fence lines.
Caution Alert: after application of pre-emergent, area should not be entered for at least 24 hours.
Materials, Tools, and Equipment Herbicide, surfactant, pre-emergent, and dye will be purchased by WVARNG, stored in a secure location at the nearby Camp Dawson site, and made available to the contractor as needed. Any unused products will remain the property of WVARNG. Empty containers would be returned to the Camp Dawson pesticide storage site.
Project Management The contractor is to contact, cooperate, and coordinate activities weekly (Daily when working on or near the live firing ranges) with Camp Dawson Environmental Office (CDEO), and provide information as needed.
