<span>In regard
to my remark regarding the TRRP's potential use of herbicides, it is my understanding that the TRRP is not planning on using herbicides. However, the method of control of noxious weeds is not spelled out specifically in the Master EIR for the mainstem projects, so it leaves the option open. It would be preferable to have an environmental document that clearly states that herbicides will not be used, rather than leaving it open-ended as it is now.</span></div>

herbicides.</span></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:19px;background-color:transparent;"><span><br></span></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:19px;background-color:transparent;">

happening over the last ten years." I made you all aware of my surprise that this issue had not been brought to my attention, or was never brought up by any of our technical work groups or at a <span>TMC</span> meeting. I read through the last three years of <span>TCWMC</span> meeting minutes, and the <span>TRRP</span> was never mentioned, and <span>USFS</span> technical staff have never provided input to the relevant <span>TRRP</span> technical work groups on this subject. <span>TRRP</span> partners are funded to participate in <span>TRRP</span> technical work groups to avoid misinformation such as this from being disseminated before all the hard working technical experts in the partnership and collaborating agencies, have an
opportunity to find joint solutions that can be applied across the entire watershed. </font></div>
