LANDOWNERS RESPONSIBILITY: The Board of County Commissioners is enforcing the weed management and enforcement plan for La Plata County. this plan involves the public and is part of the Colorado Noxious Weed Act. Her are a couple of key excerpts from Article II, Chapter 58 of the La Plata County Code:

* It is the duty of all persons to use integrated methods to manage and prevent the spread of all noxious weeds if the plants are likely to be ecologically destructive or aesthetically or materially damaging to neighboring lands.

* Persons are prohibited from importing seeds, propagative plant parts or live plant and cultivating a noxious weed within La Plata County, and such person doing so shall be fully prosecutable.

La Plata County will not compel the management of noxious weeds on private land without first applying the same or greater management measures to any land or rights-of-way owned or administered by the BOCC that are adjacent to the private property.
