The City of Durango, which has contracted with Pride Weed Control, will conduct spot treatment for noxious weeds Aug. 21 to Sept. 8, weather permitting, in these areas: the city trail system and open space at Three Springs; City Service Center at 105 Sawyer Drive in Bodo; the intersection at County Road 250 and Florida Road; the intersection at Florida Road, East Third Avenue and 15th Street; 32nd Street west of Main Avenue; open space at Hillcrest and SkyRidge subdivisions; and the parking lot at 1917 East Third Ave.
The city promotes best management practices to ensure safety. Spot treatment for noxious-weed abatement is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, and conducted to improve the quality of right-of-ways, parks and open spaces in the city parks system.
Herbicides to be applied include Sahara and a combination of 2,4-D and Dicamba.
