    637.01.04 Noxious Weed Management. Develop and follow a Noxious Weed Management Plan to prevent the establishment and spread of Nevada State listed noxious weeds per NRS 555 (available at http://agri.nv.gov/Plant/Noxious_Weeds/Noxious_Weeds_Home/). Submit a copy of the Noxious Weed Management Plan for review and approval at the pre-construction conference.

Include methods for keeping equipment, personnel, staging areas, construction and excavation sites, and roadways clear of noxious weed plants and seeds. The plan shall also address the treatment of weeds in topsoil salvage material. Equipment leaving noxious weed infested areas shall be cleaned prior to moving to areas free from noxious weeds. Equipment coming into or leaving the project area shall be cleaned and the cleaning area kept clear of plant material and contaminated dirt to prevent weed spread. The cleaning method shall be as approved.
