The document outlines the specifications for herbicide applications on 34,522 acres in Idaho for the 2025 Twin Falls Fuels project. It includes multiple project sites located primarily in Owyhee, Blaine, and Lincoln Counties, with specific herbicide application rates varying by site—6 or 8 ounces of imazapic and 5 ounces of aminopyralid per acre, combined with 3 gallons of diluent (water). Contractors are responsible for supplying herbicides, handling health and safety protocols, and managing equipment, including GPS technology for navigation and record-keeping. The work necessitates adherence to EPA guidelines and safety measures; thus, contractors must possess a valid Idaho Professional Applicator License. The performance of herbicide spraying is limited to nine days to ensure timely treatment before the fall germination of annual grasses. The government holds a significant right to inspect equipment and verify treatment areas before payment. The summary emphasizes the need for effective planning, safety compliance, and adherence to specified herbicide application rates to control unwanted vegetation legally and safely.
