The document outlines the specifications for a herbicide application project in Tuscarora, Nevada, aimed at treating noxious weeds including Hoary Cress, Scotch thistle, and spotted knapweed across 2,091 acres. The treatment will occur primarily from May 19 to June 19, 2025, requiring flexible scheduling to optimize effectiveness. The herbicide application will be conducted in two distinct areas: upland sites requiring a terrestrial tank mix and areas near water requiring a water’s edge tank mix. Contractors are responsible for supplying specific herbicides, surfactants, and equipment in compliance with federal guidelines. Notably, precautions must be taken to protect local wildlife, particularly the sage grouse, with operational restrictions between 6 PM and 9 AM and the establishment of buffer zones during chemical application. This project demonstrates an effort to manage invasive plant species while balancing ecological conservation efforts. Contractors must adhere to strict environmental safety protocols throughout the treatment process.
