Section 555.090 - Walker River Weed Control District: Weeds subject to control; methods of control; legal proceedings1. The Walker River Weed Control District is created for the control of designated noxious weeds within the prescribed boundaries.2. Weeds to be controlled are limited to the following: (a) Whitetop (Cardaria spp., Lepidium spp.);(b) Knapweed (Centaurea spp.);(c) Canada thistle (Cirsium spp.);(d) Musk thistle (Carduus spp.);(e) Scotch thistle (Onopordum spp.);(f) Yellow star thistle (Centaurea spp.);(g) Puncture vine (Tribulus spp.); and(h) Licorice (Glycyrrhiza spp.).3. The control of any designated weed by the application of a chemical (herbicide) must be in accordance with the latest recommendations issued cooperatively by the University of Nevada, Reno, and the Department. In areas where chemical control is not feasible, other approved methods of weed control must be used.4. A diligent effort must be made to conduct control measures against every infestation of these weeds within the District at no direct charge to the landowner regardless of size or location of the infestation.5. The District shall make no separate charge or assessment to any person for weed control on his or her property except by agreement made before the work is started.6. The District shall have no regulation for the indirect control of noxious weeds by regulation of possible carriers.7. If a farmer or landowner refuses to allow the District to control designated noxious weeds on his or her land, or refuses to perform the necessary control measures in a manner acceptable to the District, the director may request the initiation of legal action by the Director of the Department as provided by law.Nev.
