It is acknowledged that certain noxious weeds have become so thoroughly established and are spreading so rapidly on state, county, and federally owned lands, as well as on private and, that they may have been declared by Oregon Revised Statue 570.505 to be a menace to public welfare. Steps leading to eradication where possible are necessary. It is further recognized that the responsibility for such eradication and/or intensive control rests not only on the private landowner and operator, but also the county, state and federal government. Noxious Weed Control Rating System Noxious Weeds, for the purpose of this system, shall be designated "A", "B" or "C" 1. An "A" designated weed is: a priority noxious weed designated by the Deschutes Weed Board as a target weed species on which the Weed Control District will comply with a state wide management plan and/or implement a county wide plan for intensive control and monitoring. An "A" rated weed may also be a weed of known economic or ecological importance which occurs in small enough infestations to make eradication/containment possible; or one that is not known to occur here,but its presence in neighboring counties make future occurrence here seem imminent. Recommended Action: Infestations are subject to intensive control when and where found. 2. A "B" designated weed is: a weed of economic importance, which is both locally abundant and abundant in neighboring counties. Recommended Action: Moderate control and or monitoring at the county level. 3. A "C" designated weed is: a weed that has the potential to cause harm to agriculture production and transportation systems. Recommended Action: Control and monitoring at the county level. This list is available, upon request, to the public from the Deschutes County Weed/Vegetation Manager, 322-7135. /// Page 1 of 3 —EXHIBIT A TO ORDER 2014-003 "A" Rated Weeds: Common Name Scientific Name African Rue Peganum hannala Buffalobur+ Solanum rostratum Common Houndstongue Cynoglossum officinale Dyer's Woad ** Isatis tinctoria Eurasian Milfoil + Myriophyllum spicatum False Brome Brachypodium sylvaticum Giant Cane (Giant Reed) Arundo donax Hydrilla Hydrilla verticillata Leafy Spurge + Euphorbia esula Meadow Knapweed Centaurea pratensis Mediterranean Sage+ Salvia aethiopis Medusahead Rye+ Taeniatherum caputmedusae Musk Thistle ** Carduus nutans Orange Hawkweed+ Hieracium aurantiacum Perennial Pepperweed + Lepidium latifolium Purple Loosestrife+ Lythrum salicaria Rush Skeletonweed Chondrilla juncea Russian Knapweed+ Acroptilon repens Saltcedar Tamarix + Tamarix ramosissima Scotch Thistle+ Onopordum acanthium Squarrose Knapweed Centaurea virgata Sulfur Cinquefoil Potentilla recta Tansy Ragwort+ Senecio jacobaea Ventenata+ Ventenata dubia Water Primrose Ludwigia ssp.
