8 CCR 1206-2 Part 7 - Compliance Waiver
7.1.
Local governing bodies and landowners with any population of any List A species
or population of any List B species may apply for a compliance waiver granted
by the Commissioner.
7.2. To apply
for a compliance waiver, local governing bodies or landowners must submit a
written petition to the State Weed Coordinator via mail (Colorado Department of
Agriculture, 305 Interlocken Parkway, Broomfield, CO 80021), fax (303)
466-2860, or email (weeds@state.co.us with "Attention: noxious weed petition"
in the subject line). The Department will only consider a petition for waiver
during the growing season of the target weed when the extent of the problem can
be properly evaluated at the site for which the petition is submitted. The
petition should provide specific information pertinent to the reevaluation of
the specified management objective for the target weed in a specified
geographic region.
7.3. The
Commissioner will evaluate petitions using the following criteria:
A. The known distribution of the target weed
species in the specified geographic region;
B. The feasibility of current control
technologies to achieve the management objective for the target
population;
C. The cost of carrying
out the management objective specified in the target weed management plan;
and
D. Any other site-specific
information that establishes that the specified management objective is not
feasible for a specific population in a specified geographic region.
Petitioners must address these criteria and explain specifically what conditions exist that establish that the specified management objective is not viable.
7.4. The Commissioner will grant or deny a
petition within fifteen business days of receiving it.
7.5. The Commissioner may revoke a compliance
waiver at any time if the information provided in the petition was incomplete
or inaccurate, or if conditions change such that the specified management
objective becomes viable.
