SIX - Heppner G azette Times, Heppner. Oregon Wednesday, June 10,1998 MSWCDAVeed Board finalized weed policy The Morrow Soil and Water Conservation District/Weed Advisory Board and Morrow County Court have finalized a weed control policy. The recently signed policy specifies how compliance with the provisions of Morrow County Weed Ordinance MC-C-3-90 will be accomplished. The policy outlines a cooperation between an operator and the Morrow County Weed District to develop a weed management plan for areas identified as having 'A' list noxious weeds and how to eradicate or control these weeds. An important aspect of this policy is that any operator who has completed and is applying the accepted weed management plan will be treated as being in compliance with the ordinance. "Neglect, refusal or failure to follow the established plan, however, will be treated as a violation of the ordinance and enforcement action may be taken accordingly," according to a MSWCD/Weed Advisory Board news release. The plan starts with a one page work sheet identifying the noxious weeds on a location map and includes long and short term goals. Short-term goals o f the WMP include details for chemical and mechanical control needed to prohibit noxious weeds from going to seed.
