Road Maintenance No Spray Program
No Spray Program
Public Works begins its annual roadside spraying program to control weeds along county roads in the spring. Roads are sprayed 2-4 feet from the edge of the road in order to control encroachment of plant growth on the asphalt surface. Spraying of noxious weeds and roadside vegetation, including blackberries, is done throughout the year, and extends to the far side of any ditching. Homeowners who do not want chemical sprays adjacent to their property must assume responsibility for controlling weeds along the roadway and enter into a No Spray Agreement with the County.
No Spray Agreement
This is an annual agreement whereby the County will not spray herbicides along the roadway, or along the ditch line in front of your property. In exchange, you agree to be responsible for vegetation control on your property frontage. Please read the No Spray letter and complete the Vegetation Control Permit and Vegetation Control Liability Release form. Completed forms need to be returned to Public Works.
