VEGETATION MANAGEMENT: The control of noxious weeds shall be achieved through a weed management plan:All parties submitting bids must have a current weed management plan that has been approved by the local county weed board and Devils Tower National Monument. All plans require one annual inspection by park staff during the growing season (June - August) prior to sale of material. Parties submitting bids must provide proof of the most recent weed inspection by Devils Tower National Monument staff. The weed inspection will designate a pit in one of three rating categories: acceptable, conditionally acceptable, or unacceptable. Sand and gravel from a pit designated as unacceptable can be used if the material is heat treated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and promptly transported from the quarry to the park or a pre-approved weed free storage area to prevent possible weed contamination. A list of weeds of concern can be obtained from Devils Tower National Monument. The control of noxious weeds shall be achieved as follows:All vehicles and equipment to be used in Devils Tower National Monument shall be thoroughly pressure washed prior to arrival. Equipment shall be inspected at the appropriate park entrance station by a designated park employee and only clean equipment shall be permitted into the park. Particular attention must be shown to the under carriage and any surface where soil containing exotic weed seeds may exist. All loaded trucks and trailers shall be covered (tarped) when loaded. These efforts are critical to prevent the introduction and establishment of non-native plant species into the park. Equipment inspection will be scheduled by the maintenance office and take place at the park entrance stations. Inspection records shall be maintained by the park service. Equipment found operating in the park that has not been inspected shall be dead-lined and subject to a citation. Copies of the referenced Montana Specifications may be obtained from the Montana Department of Highways, Highway Building, Helena MT 59620.
