Noxious Weed Treatment-Sawtooth NF

Added: Jun 15, 2016 12:38 pm The contractor will provide transportation, supervision, labor, operating supplies, appropriate herbicide as specified below, sufficient amounts of dye, surfactant, and incidentals.

OBJECTIVES:
The objective of this project is to effectively continue noxious weed management and treatment during the 2016 summer season through the use of chemical controls within the known and discovered noxious weed infestations on the Ketchum Ranger District and Sawtooth National Recreation Area.

SCOPE OF WORK:
This work consists of noxious weed management and treatment during the 2016 growing season through the use of chemical control on the Ketchum RD and Sawtooth NRA specifically within known and discovered weed infestations. See attached maps for identification & site information. Any Idaho State listed noxious weed population found within the treatment area may be treated. However, in the event available funding will not allow for treatment of all known or discovered infestations, priority will be given to Idaho State listed species that are of particular local concern, specifically, spotted knapweed, rush skeletonweed, and/or toadflax.
Additionally, a global positioning unit (GPS) will be used (provided by the contractor) to record areas of treatment by species. New infestations encountered will be inventoried using GPS, and then treated according to the specifications.

LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION:
The "General View" map shows a 110 acre project area across both Districts. Attached maps identify the treatment areas & approximate number of acres that herbicide will be applied to. Refer to "Treatment Areas" for a written description of the general area as well as attached maps depicting individual areas to be surveyed and treated.
