infestations of invasive weed species are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. There is a high probability that project activities will cause the establishment and spread of invasive weeds on disturbed sites throughout much of the project area even when actions for preventative management are used. High Control measures are essential to prevent the spread of invasive weeds within the project area. The project should be modified through a project plan such that the risk level is reduced by preventative measures, including control of existing infestations of invasive weeds prior to project activity and the subsequent seeding of disturbed sites with desirable species. The project should provide at least five consecutive years of monitoring. The project must also provide for control of newly established invasive weeds along with
