It is acknowledged that certain noxious weeds have become so thoroughly established and are spreading so rapidly on private, state, county, and federally owned lands that they may have been declared by Oregon Revised Statue 569.350 to be a menace to public welfare. Steps leading to eradication where possible, and intensive control are necessary. It is further recognized that the responsibility for such eradication and 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 the highest priority noxious weed designated by the Deschutes Weed Board as a target weed species. 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 or containment possible; or one that is not known to occur here, but its presence in neighboring counties make future occurrence here seem imminent. Action: Infestations are subject to intensive eradication, containment or control when and where found. 2. A "B" designated weed is a weed of economic importance or which is limited in distribution in the County. Intensive control will occur at the County level as resources and situations allow. Action: Intensive control, containment and monitoring. 3. A "C" designated weed is a weed that has the potential to cause economic or ecological harm to agriculture, recreation, wildlife and transportation systems and is locally abundant. Action: Control and monitoring by the landowner is recommended. This list is available on the web at www.deschutes.org/weeds or by contacting the Deschutes County Weed/Vegetation Manager, 541-322-7135 or 541-322-7117.
