Document Description
Treat infestations of Centaurea solstitialis (yellow star-thistle) and incidental patches of Carduus pycnocephalus (Italian thistle) with a foliar application of herbicide in Folsom Lake State Recreation Area to control infestations of yellow-star thistle, a highly aggressive and invasive exotic species. Herbicide applications in the spring during early growth stages will utilize a selective herbicide, such as Transline. Herbicide treatment recommendations will be obtained from a Certified Pest Advisor and application of the herbicide will be conducted under the direction of a qualified applicator. Spraying will occur only when winds are less than 10 mph to avoid any drift or overspray. No special status sensitive species are known to occur in the project area. The first treatments will occur in the spring of 2006; follow-up maintenance treatments will occur in subsequent years. All required records on herbicide use will be filed with Sacramento, Placer and El Dorado counties.
