I. WORK TO BE DONE (describe or attach exact specifications of work to be done):
Number and Describe Each Task:
A. General Description: Detect, control, and monitor non-native invasive species in burned areas and prevent the expansion of known populations into newly disturbed sites.
B. Location/(Suitable) Sites: The following sites with known locations of non-native species will be surveyed. See Vegetation Treatments Map.
Sites to survey for salt cedar:
-
Mexican Water Spring
-
Toughnut Spring
-
Macedonia Spring
-
Bullock Spring
-
Chicken Water Spring
-
Gold Valley Spring
-
Gold Valley Wash
-
Rock Spring
-
Government Holes
-
Hackberry Spring
-
Black Canyon Road at Narrows
Vector corridors and sites to survey for early detection of other non-native species:
-
Cedar Canyon Road
-
Black Canyon Road
-
Wildhorse Canyon Road
-
Watson Wash (Hackberry Road)
-
Macedonia Canyon Road
-
Hole in the Wall Fire Center, Visitor Center, and Campground
C. Design/Construction Specifications:
1. Delineate treatment areas for 11 springs and washes, 44 miles of road corridors, and at one developed site.
2. Salt cedar control: Starting September 2005, monitor spring sites and treat salt cedar using hand removal; between November 2005 and April 2006 treat plants that cannot be hand pulled with low volume basal spray application of Garlon 4® and JLB oil at springs and the Meadow Valley Wash. Salt cedar, when cut, must be removed a safe distance away from water sites to avoid resprouting.
3. Other Species control: Survey vector corridors and sites for early detection of invasive species including Brassica tournefortii, Salsola spp., Lepidium latifolium, Sysimbrium irio, Descurainia sophia, and state listed noxious weeds. Survey, map and control tall whitetop, Russian knapweed, and hoary cress, at springs, wetlands, washes, and cattle tanks within the burned areas. Treat with 1% habitat aquatic herbicide with surfactant to control these species.
Surveying includes:
When feasible, non-native species shall be controlled. Control includes:
-
Removal of species using approved IPM methods as suggested above
-
Plants in seed must be bagged and removed off site
D. Purpose of Treatment Specifications: Control spread of non-native invasive species into susceptible burned areas that will change the native plant composition. Protect the ecological integrity and site productivity of 35 state and locally listed plant species and one federally threatened animal and their associated habitats on lands administered by the MNP. Prevent spread of noxious weeds into critical habitats on unburned lands within and adjacent to the Preserve.
E. Treatment Effectiveness Monitoring Proposed: Spot checking of invasive non-native plant sites to ensure control methods are meeting management objectives. Survey crews will visit treated sites within one week of treatment; this is especially important for weed populations that are sprayed to ensure effectiveness of herbicide application. Surveyed and treated sites should reduce salt cedar to less than 1% cover at springs and other moist areas. Results are incorporated by park staff into long-term integrated pest management programs. Data is provided to NPS Exotic Plant Management Team (EPMT) for future project planning. Initiate follow-up treatments if additional non-native species or large populations are discovered.
