It is the first step in achieving eradication and is succeeded by efforts to detect and destroy newly emerged plants arising from seed, reproductive propagule, or remaining root stock for the duration of the seed longevity for the particular species.
1.4. “Infested acreage” means an area of land containing a noxious weed species, defined by the actual perimeter of the infestation as delineated by the canopy cover of the plants and excluding areas not infested.
1.5. “Population” means a group of designated noxious weeds of the same species occupying a particular geographic region and capable of interbreeding. 1.6. “Ordinary High Water mark” means that line on the shore of any river or perennial or intermittent stream established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, the presence of litter and debris, or other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas.
1.7. “Public open space” means publicly-owned land that is managed for its natural or agricultural value.
Part 2 General Provisions 2.1. At any time, affected persons may suggest and the Commissioner may approve additional prescribed integrated management techniques not specified in these rules for the eradication, containment, or suppression of designated state noxious weeds. Such approval may be site- specific or broadly applicable. The Commissioner will publish a list on the Colorado Department of Agriculture website (http://www.ag.state.co.us/csd/weeds/Weedhome.html) of the herbicides, cultural techniques, and mechanical techniques approved for use under the specific state noxious weed management plans for List A and List B species.

6.2. Watch List weed species are species for which the Commissioner, in consultation with the state noxious weed advisory committee, local governments, and other interested parties, has determined to pose a potential threat to the agricultural productivity and environmental values of the lands of the state. The Watch List is intended to serve advisory and educational purposes only. Its purpose is to encourage the identification and reporting of these species to the Commissioner in order to facilitate the collection of information to assist the Commissioner in determining which species should be designated as noxious weeds. The Commissioner may place a plant species on the Watch List if any of the following are present: 6.2.1. The plant species is not known to occur in the state, but its noxious characteristics are recognized by another state or states in the region.
6.2.2. The plant species is not known to occur in the state, but has been found to exhibit noxious characteristics in agricultural lands and/or native plant communities similar to those found in Colorado.
6.2.3. The plant species with suspected noxious qualities as determined by the use of a plant assessment process is present in the state but its distribution and effect on agricultural and natural lands is undetermined at this time.
6.3. Once the noxious characteristics and distribution of plant species on the Watch List are better known, the Commissioner, in consultation with the state noxious weed advisory committee, local governments, and other interested parties, may act to place a species on List A or List B, or may remove it from the Watch List.
Part 7 Compliance Waiver 7.1. Local governing bodies and landowners with any population of any List A species or population of any List B species may apply for a compliance waiver granted by the Commissioner. 7.2. To apply for a compliance waiver, local governing bodies or landowners must submit a written petition to the State Weed Coordinator via mail (Colorado Department of Agriculture, 305 Interlocken Parkway, Broomfield, CO 80021), fax (303) 466-2860, or email (weeds@state.co.us with “Attention: noxious weed petition” in the subject line). The Department will only consider a petition for waiver during the growing season of the target weed when the extent of the problem can be properly evaluated at the site for which the petition is submitted. The petition should provide specific information pertinent to the reevaluation of the specified management objective for the target weed in a specified geographic region.
7.3. The Commissioner will evaluate petitions using the following criteria:
A. The known distribution of the target weed species in the specified geographic region;

Part 8 Statements of Basis, Specific Statutory Authority and Purpose 8.1. February 11, 2004 – Effective May 3, 2004 Statutory Authority These permanent rules are adopted by the Commissioner of Agriculture pursuant to his authority under the Colorado Noxious Weed Act, §§ 35-5.5-108 and 115, C.R.S. (2003). Purpose The purpose of these permanent rules is to: (1) repeal all of the existing permanent rules for the administration and enforcement of the Colorado Noxious Weed Act, §§ 35-5.5-101 through 119, C.R.S. (2003), currently published at 8 C.C.R. 1203-15 (including the Statement of Basis, Purpose and Statutory Authority as well as Rules 1 through 3) and; (2) replace the current permanent rules with new permanent rules which implement the Colorado Noxious Weed Act as amended by the General Assembly in its 2003 regular session. Specifically, the purposes of these new permanent rules are to designate state noxious weeds, classify state noxious weeds into three categories (List A, B, and C), develop and implement state noxious weed management plans for List A noxious weed species, prescribe integrated management techniques to achieve eradication of List A species, and provide a process for granting compliance waivers to local governing bodies and landowners in order to develop and implement a coordinated, statewide effort to stop the spread of noxious weeds and mitigate their impacts to agriculture and the environment.
Factual and Policy Issues The factual and policy issues encountered in the proposal of these permanent rules are as follows:
1. Several million acres of Colorado are infested with invasive non-indigenous plants that are continuing to spread to uninfested lands and increase in abundance.
2. A number of these species, designated as state noxious weeds, aggressively invade or are detrimental to economic crops or native plant communities, are poisonous to livestock, are carriers of detrimental insects, diseases, or parasites, or are detrimental, directly or indirectly, to the environmentally sound management of natural or agricultural systems.
3. Noxious weeds are a present threat to the economic and environmental value of the lands of the state of Colorado and it is a matter of statewide importance that the governing bodies of counties and municipalities manage such weeds in a coordinated manner across the state. Lack of such coordination makes weed management efforts unnecessarily costly and limits the effectiveness of public and private efforts to control such noxious weeds.
4. A broad array of public and private organizations support efforts to develop and implement a coordinated, statewide effort to stop the spread of noxious weeds.
5. Classifying designated noxious weeds into specific management categories will provide a means to focus public and private resources strategically and in a cost-effective manner.
6. By eradicating rare noxious weed species quickly (List A), these species can be prevented from establishing permanent populations in Colorado from which they will spread to harm the agricultural and environmental values of the lands of Colorado.
7. It is important that local governing bodies and affected landowners apply integrated management techniques that will achieve the specified management objectives, particularly for eradication. Some techniques are more effective than others (prescribed) and some techniques are likely to be ineffective or contribute to the spread of the weed species (not prescribed). Prescribing integrated management techniques to achieve specified management objectives will help landowners achieve management objectives such as eradication in a timely manner while limiting environmental damage, effort, and cost.
8. By stopping the spread of well-established species (List B), the values of uninfested lands for agriculture or the environment can be protected and the costs of land management to private and public landowners can be limited or reduced.
9. By educating the public about improved management for widespread species (List C), the harm associated with these species can be reduced and such efforts can be made more cost-effective for many citizens.
10. To accomplish the goals associated with List A (statewide eradication) and List B (halted spread) it is necessary to develop and implement statewide plans to coordinate appropriate actions at the private, local, state, and federal levels. Without such plans, it will be difficult to focus public and private resources strategically and in a cost-effective manner to achieve these goals.
11. In order to provide flexibility to respond to changing circumstances with respect to the distribution of weed populations, it is important to provide the state, local governing bodies, and landowners with a process to amend the requirement to eradicate a particular noxious weed. Without such a compliance waiver process, these rules may become unnecessarily burdensome.
12. The absence of rules to implement a coordinated statewide effort to manage noxious weeds results in increased management costs to public and private interests, a reduction in the effectiveness of individual efforts, and the continued loss of agricultural and environmental values to the invasion of noxious weeds.

Factual and Policy Issues The factual and policy issues encountered in the proposal of these amendments to the rules are as follows:
1. The Colorado Noxious Weed Act authorizes the Commissioner to designate by rule those species placed in List A and subject to eradication wherever detected statewide in order to protect neighboring lands and the state as a whole. The following new species have been determined to present a threat to the economic and environmental value of the state of Colorado are placed on List A: Elongated mustard (Brassica elongata), Giant reed (Arundo donax), Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), Giant knotweed (Polygonum sachalinense), and Bohemian knotweed (Polygonum x bohemicum 2. The current rules pertaining to the administration and enforcement of the Colorado Noxious Weed Act state that the Commissioner will develop and implement state noxious weed management plans for selected List A and List B species.
3. State noxious weed management plans are necessary in order to coordinate appropriate actions at the private, local, state, and federal levels that will halt the continued spread of these List A and List B species.
4. The proposed plans have been developed in consultation with the state noxious weed advisory committee, local governments, and other interested parties. The proposed plans include weed management plans for List A species Elongated mustard (Brassica elongata), Giant reed (Arundo donax), Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), Giant knotweed (Polygonum sachalinense), and Bohemian knotweed (Polygonum x bohemicum, and List B species Common teasel (Dipsacus fullonum), Cutleaf teasel (Dipsacus laciniatus), Dame’s rocket (Hesperis matronalis, Jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrical), and Moth mullein (Verbascum blattaria).
5. The change to Rule 3.1 and 3.6.16 is due in order to move Sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) from List A to the Watch List based on information gathered about the species that makes it less likely to appear in the state, but still worthy of continuing observation.
6. The change to Rule 4.7.17.A is due in order to implement Jefferson County’s request that it be removed from the list of counties excepted from the requirement of eliminating Russian knapweed (Centaurea repens) from within its borders.
7. The change to Rule 4.7.17.S is due in order to correct the management techniques for Russian knapweed (Centaurea repens) which include hand pulling and digging. Due to the extensive root systems of this species, hand pulling and digging are not considered to be effective in most instances, while mowing in combination with herbicide application is considered more effective.
8. The change to Rule 5.1 adds Bulbous bluegrass (Poa bulbosa) to List C, reflecting its invasive qualities as determined by a plant assessment process, and also recognizing its widespread distribution.
9. The change to Part 6 of the rule is due in order to create a new, non-regulatory invasive species list, called the Watch List. The purpose of the list is to encourage the identification and reporting of these species so that, in consultation with the state noxious weed advisory committee, local governments and other interested parties, the Commissioner may determine which of these species should be designated as noxious weeds.

Factual and Policy Issues The factual and policy issues encountered in the proposal of these amendments to the rules are as follows:
1. The current rules pertaining to the administration and enforcement of the Colorado Noxious Weed Act state that the Commissioner will develop and implement state noxious weed management plans for selected List A and List B species.
3. State noxious weed management plans are necessary in order to coordinate appropriate actions at the private, local, state, and federal levels that will halt the continued spread of these List A and List B species.
4. The proposed plans have been developed in consultation with the state noxious weed advisory committee, local governments, and other interested parties. The proposed plans include weed management plans for List B species yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) (4.7.32), quackgrass (Elymus repens) (4.7.33), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) (4.7.34), and Russian-olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) (4.7.35).
5. The plan developed to control Russian-olive (4.7.35) requires removal in public open spaces and along intermittent and perennial streams and rivers, lakes and reservoirs. While planted originally for windbreaks and landscaping, Russian-olive has spread along waterways and has degraded wildlife habitat, replaced native trees such as cottonwoods and willows in many areas, and has disrupted agricultural operations by invading pastures and blocking irrigation facilities.
6. The changes to Rules 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.7.3, 4.7.4, 4.7.6, 4.7.7, 4.7.8, 4.7.9, 4.7.10, 4.7.11, 4.7.12, 4.7.13, 4.7.16, 4.7.17, 4.7.18, 4.7.19, 4.7.21, 4.7.22, 4.7.23, 4.7.24, 4.7.25, 4.7.26, 4.7.27, 4.7.28, 4.7.29, 4.7.30, and 4.7.31 regarding road ROWs are due in order to clarify the extent of treatment required along public roads and parking areas, and that such treatments are to occur annually.
7. The changes to Rules 4.7.21, 4.7.22, 4.7.23, 4.7.24, 4.7.25, 4.7.26, 4.7.29, 4.7.30 and 4.7.31 regarding stream corridor management are due in order to clarify the extent of treatment required along the state’s waterways, and to synchronize the treatment of such waterways across county boundaries and when a waterway forms the boundary between counties.
8. The change to Rule 6.1 adds Brazilian egeria, Brazilian elodea (Egeria densa), parrotfeather (Myriophyllum aquaticum), yellow floatingheart (Nymphoides peltata) and yellotuft (Alyssum murale, Alyssum corsicum) to the Watch List, given their current unknown noxious qualities and the need for closer statewide observation. 8.11. November 12, 2014 – Effective December 30, 2014 Statutory Authority These amendments to the rules are adopted by the Commissioner of Agriculture pursuant to his authority under the Colorado Noxious Weed Act, §§ 35-5.5-108 and 115, C.R.S. Purpose The purpose of these amendments to the rules are to: (1) designate an additional plant species for inclusion on List A, and an additional plant species to inclusion to the Watch List; (2) revise figure numbering to add clarity to the rule; (3) Update management plans for seven species; (4) remove two plant species from List B, and move one plant species from List B to List C; and (5) correct non- substantive typographical errors and update internal citations to reflect new rules. The specific amendments to the rules are as follows:
1. In Parts 3.1 and 3.6.23, add hairy willow-herb (Epilobium hirsutum) to List A.
2. In Parts 4.1, 4.7 and 4.8, revise figure numbers for all List B species.
3. In Part 4.1, remove quackgrass (Elymus repens), spurred anoda (Anoda cristata) and Venice mallow (Hibiscus trionum) from List B.
4. Revise Rule 4.3 to update the species of special interest for future management plan revisions.
5. Revise Rules 4.7.1, 4.7.4, 4.7.5, 4.7.8, and 4.7.10 to update the monitoring period for these List B species: absinth wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe), salt cedar(Tamarix chinensis, T. parviflora, and T. ramosissima), oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), and houndstongue (Cynoglossum officinale).
6. Revise Rule 4.7.1 to update the management plans for absinth wormwood (Artemisia absinthium).
7. Revise Rule 4.7.2 to update the management plans for Chinese clematis (Clematis orientalis).
8. Revise Rule 4.7.3 to update the management plans for plumeless thistle (Carduus acanthoides).
9. Revise Rule 4.7.4. to update the management plans for spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe).
10. Revise Rule 4.7.6 to update the management plans for black henbane (Hyoscyamus niger).
11. Revise Rule 4.7.8 to update the management plans for oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare).
12. Revise Rule 4.7.10 to update the management plans for houndstongue (Cynoglossum officinale).
13. Remove management plans for spurred anoda (Anoda cristata) (4.7.14), Venice mallow (Hibiscus trionum) (4.7.15) and quackgrass (Elymus repens) (4.7.33).
14. In Part 5.1, add quackgrass (Elymus repens) to List C.
15. In Part 6.1, add garden loosestrife (Lysimachia vulgaris) to the Watch List, and remove hairy willow-herb (Epilobium hirsutum) from the Watch List. Factual and Policy Issues The factual and policy issues encountered in the proposal of these amendments to the rules are as follows:
1. The current rules pertaining to the administration and enforcement of the Colorado Noxious Weed Act state that the Commissioner will develop and implement state noxious weed management plans for selected List A and List B species.
2. State noxious weed management plans are necessary in order to coordinate appropriate actions at the private, local, state, and federal levels that will halt the continued spread of these List A and List B species.
3. The proposed plans have been developed in consultation with the state noxious weed advisory committee, local governments, and other interested parties. The proposed plans include weed management plans for List B species absinth wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), Chinese clematis (Clematis orientalis), plumeless thistle (Carduus acanthoides), spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe), black henbane (Hyoscyamus niger), for oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), and houndstongue (Cynoglossum officinale).
4. After consulting with noxious weed experts, weed managers, agricultural producers and the state noxious weed advisory committee, it was determined that quackgrass (Elymus repens), spurred anoda (Anoda cristata) and Venice mallow (Hibiscus trionum) no longer met the criteria for List B. Quackgrass was moved to List C and spurred anoda and Venice mallow will no longer be included in the noxious weed list.
5. The numerical revisions to existing figures for List B species were done in order to bring additional clarity to these rules, and to establish a more coherent approach to mapping figures, especially given that these maps will continue to be revised and updated in future years.
6. The changes to the Watch List reflect the determination that hairy willow-herb may pose in the near future a significant threat to agricultural productivity and native plant communities of the state, and should be eradicated while still possible, thus warranting its placement on List A. Garden loosestrife has been found in limited areas of the state and has exhibited invasive qualities, and thus merits closer statewide observation prior to any listing decision.
