What does the Lewis County Noxious Weed Control Board do? The Lewis County Noxious Weed Control Board carries out the mandate of the State Weed Law (RCW 17.10) that is to limit the economic loss and adverse effects to Washington's agricultural, natural and human resources due to the presence and spread of noxious weeds. • The County Weed Board members are volunteers appointed by the County Commissioners that represent the five weed districts in the county. • The Board administers the noxious weed control program by establishing the County noxious weed list, policy and procedures. • The Weed Board's programs are based on helping landowners solve their weed management concerns. • To meet the State mandate for noxious weed control, the Weed Board promotes cooperation, compliance and coordination of weed control activities between private landowners, state and federal agencies and adjacent county weed programs. • The Board employs a program coordinator who educates and informs the public about noxious weeds, conducts on-going early detection surveys and assists landowners in developing integrated weed management control strategies. Is the current program able to meet the weed control needs of the County? No. To comply adequately with the state law and to maintain an effective weed control program to serve the citizens, the Weed Board has recommended enhancing the Weed control program to better meet the public's requests for a higher level of service, compliance and to counter an increasing rate of noxious weed introductions. • Addressing the introduction of new weed species within the county and providing technical assistance to a growing population in rural areas requires increased levels of education and awareness directed to landowners and the public. • Prevention, early detection and intervention weed management strategies are the least expensive and most effective weed control actions that can be implemented. • A portion of the Weed Control funding comes from grants that have limits on the work that can be carried out. What additional services and expansion of programs is the Weed Board proposing? • Landowner cost share programs that encourage Integrated Weed Management principles have proven successful in eliminating noxious weeds. • Partner with local, state and federal agencies in managing noxious weeds and achieving high standards of control along public right of ways. Continued.... What additional services and expansion of programs is the Weed Board proposing? • Biological control agents represent an important, cost effective option for weed suppression. Coordination of collection activities, monitoring establishment and seeking new agents for release is needed to improve the effectiveness of the county's biocontrol efforts. • Scotch broom management. The public has spoken for additional actions directed toward the control of Scotch broom. • Direct and achieve noxious weed compliance with absentee landowners. • Broaden noxious weed education and awareness programs to community youth programs, private landowners and land managers. Address issues of water quality, public health & safety, responsible pesticide use and new technologies for weed control. • Implement public awareness, prevention and early detection campaigns targeted towards public boat launches and other recreational access points. • Advance the noxious weed GIS mapping & database systems to provide landowners, agencies and the Weed Board access to information for developing sound weed management decisions. How would the additional services and weed control program be funded and how much will it cost? • The Lewis County Noxious Weed Control Board is proposing a special assessment rate of$8.00 per parcel. The rate would generate a fund dedicated to managing noxious weeds in Lewis County. • Special weed assessments, as authorized by state law, are used by over half (62%) of the counties to provide a dedicated source of funding to the Weed Board. By statute, all forest classified parcels are assessed at 1/10th the average rate. Some land and parcel classified as exempt would not be assessed. • The Board of County Commissioners has the authority to levy an assessment against the land for this purpose after a hearing. The Weed Board has the responsibility to classify lands and has developed the proposal for the Board of County Commissioners to consider. • Parcel rates for other neighboring counties include: Cowlitz $4.32, Thurston $4.40, Yakima $7.10 and Klickitat $6.50. J w Why don't you just fine the people with weeds and use the money for the program? Why should people who don't have noxious weeds have to pay? • The County has limited authority to fine landowners who have weeds. The Washington State Weed Law gives the counties two options (special assessment or general fund) for funding the county weed program. • The assessment is a fee for services that is available to the public and benefits all landowners. The assessment cannot be imposed selectively. • Weeds are everyone's problem and we all benefit when we control and prevent the spread of noxious weeds. The invasive nature of noxious weeds means no land is immune to their spread and introduction. Noxious weeds are found in urban and rural areas, on developed and undeveloped lands, farms and forest, as well as in lakes and streams in Lewis County. What will you get for your money? • Protection of Lewis County's natural resources, recreational areas, agricultural and forest lands from the degrading impact of noxious weeds. • Releases of biological control agents and coordination of efforts that collect distribute and enhance regional populations of biological agents. • Early detection surveys on public right of ways, public lands and on cooperating private lands. • Increased public awareness of noxious weeds by local residents and visitors to Lewis County. • In addition to providing a foundation of basic program funding, the assessment dollars will also go toward local matches for grants and cost-share programs that address specific weed management projects.

By State Law, the Lewis County Noxious Weed Control Board (LCNWCB) is mandated to limit the presence and spread of noxious weeds that cause economic loss to agricultural systems, harm natural resources or adversely affect human and livestock health. RCW 17.10 purpose is to limit economic loss and adverse effects to Washington's agricultural, natural, and human resources due to the presence and spread of noxious weeds on all terrestrial and aquatic areas in the state Impacts: Economic and Ecological Economic Impacts from noxious weeds: Invasive Species have an adverse impact on Washington's landscapes, ecosystems, agriculture, commerce and recreation. Without prevention and control,the identified invasive species could have a total impact of 1.3 Billion dollars annually. Source: Economic Impact of Invasive Species, Direct Costs Estimates and Economic Impacts for Washington State, Report January 2017 Direct impacts of Scotch broom to Lewis County estimated at 6.2 million dollars Timber, Livestock & other crops: $6.2 million The risk of increased spread is considered to be extremely high. Scotch broom:Toxic to livestock, wildfire hazard, invasive in timber regeneration Direct Impacts of Himalayan blackberry to Lewis County estimated at 2.1 million dollars Timber&other crops: 2.1 million dollars Timber is the commodity affected the most by Himalayan blackberry. Ecological impacts from noxious weeds: Riparian habitats that are critical to fish, wildlife and healthy waters can be altered by noxious weeds. Degradation of wetlands and an increase of wildfire hazards are increased with the presence of noxious weeds. Invasive Knotweed, can dominate river embankments and replace native plants, degrade water quality, and increase the potential for soil erosion What does the Lewis County Weed Board and Weed Control program do? The Weed Board's program are based on helping landowners solve their weed management issues and to meet the State's mandate for noxious weed control. The Weed Board promotes cooperation, compliance and coordination of weed control activities to achieve management of noxious weeds. The Weed Board's program works to educate and inform the public about the impacts from noxious weeds, their management along with conducting on-going early detection surveys and treatment. Is the current program able to meet the weed control needs of Lewis County? No To comply adequately with the state law and to maintain an effective weed control program to serve the citizens, the Weed Board has recommended enhancing the Weed Control program. Enhancements would include: increased technical assistance to support landowners with prevention, early detection and management strategies; expand compliance actions directed toward absentee landowners and those not complying with the law; achieve higher standards of managing noxious weeds along public right of ways and public lands; increase the acquisition, collection and re-distribution of biological control agents and provide small tools, equipment & material support to landowners. Lewis County's Administration desire for a balanced operating budget The Lewis County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) has implemented a budget process with a goal of having a balanced County Budget. Challenges include: - Cost increases, expenses that outpace revenue (low interest rates, timber receipts variable, property tax limit). - Reducing the impacts to General Fund Reserves. - Look at how the county can do business differently to reduce the cost of providing services. The Weed Board and the BOCC has considered a special assessment to fund the Weed Control Program to help meet the balanced budget goal. (62% of Washington Counties with assessment funding) Essential Weed Program functions: 1. Treatment to noxious weeds, "Dead weeds". Work with landowners, Lewis County & other agencies for the treatment of high priority noxious weeds as defined by the Lewis County Weed List and classification. Not all weeds have the same impact. Noxious weed management will be guided by IPM (Integrated Pest Management) strategies. Weeds that effect human and livestock health and safety is a priority to the Weed Board. 2. Achieve voluntary compliance for the control of noxious weeds by enhancing public awareness and providing technical resources to land owners for their management of noxious weeds on their property. Enforcement implemented as needed as a last resort when compliance with weed laws are not achieved. 3. Direct education about noxious weeds, their impacts, and best management practices that prevent the introduction and establishment of noxious weeds 4. Early detection and treatment. Actively survey for new weed infestations and treat in the "introduction stage" to prevent establishment. Prevention practices are the least expensive management measure. Three questions about the assessment funding for Weed Control 1. Will the county weed program now be responsible for coming out to control landowner's weeds? No. The county will not become the primary entity for weed control throughout the county. The program will still rely upon landowners taking the responsibility for their weed management, along with other agencies taking responsibility to control weeds on city, county and state right of ways and the lands they manage. 2. What will be the priority weeds addressed by the Weed Program? Several plants that are toxic, poisonous and listed as noxious will be a priority for management. Poison hemlock, Giant hogweed and Tansy ragwort are a few weeds that are of concern for human and livestock health. But there are many other weeds (Knapweeds, Scotch broom, Knotweed) that are very invasive and not toxic that will also be a priority. 3. How will the staffing level change with new program funding? Currently the Weed Program has 1 FTE position along with seasonal staff supported by Lewis County and Grant funding. An additional 1 FTE position and seasonal casual help would be proposed with the assessment funds for implementation in 2019 or 2020.
