Weed Management Plan

The Colorado Noxious Weed Act requires each County in Colorado to adopt a Weed Management Plan (WMP), and update it every three years.  The most recent WMP was adopted in April 2010 (via Ordinance #02-2010) and goes into effect on May 25, 2010. 

 

The WMP is Section 6.32 of the County Code.
