OFFICIAL NOTICE

Section 2-965, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, provides a control authority may direct and carry out projects of control for one or more specific noxious weeds without individual notice as prescribed in section 2-955 if the control authority has caused publication of such project.

The Lower Platte Weed Management Area partners which include the Butler, Dodge, Douglas, Cass, Colfax, Platte, Sarpy, Lancaster, Seward, and Saunders Counties’ Weed Control Authorities will be doing control work on selected sites of purple loosestrife, saltcedar, phragmites, and associated invasive plants along the Platte River and its tributaries. Control work will be performed from July through October.

Riparian landowners (those landowners that own the bank of the river) are also owners of any accretion land and the stream bed to the center of the river even if not indicated in the riparian landowner’s deed. Contacts are being made with landowners in regards to these control efforts seeking their cooperation and commitments. Any questions should be directed to the appropriate county weed control authority.
