AGENCY CORRESPONDENCE: Lincoln County Weed & Pest Control District: At the time of inspection, Common Mullen, and Musk
Thistle were present. These weeds are on the Wyoming State Noxious Weed list as well as the Lincoln
County Noxious Weed List. These plants have proven to be very invasive and pernicious. According to
Wyoming Statute it is illegal to allow any state or county noxious weed to propagate freely. The optimal time for treatment will be towards the end of summer after the first hard freeze of the year. The subdivision representative may contact Lincoln County Weed and Pest and discuss their weed control
strategy or work with us to devise one.
Star Valley Conservation District: Due to a large variation between water levels in this section, SVCD recommends soil cuts to determine groundwater levels. If ground water is high, we recommend an enhanced septic system and no basements. We recommend that soil cuts be taken in the spring/early
summer when groundwater is highest. If soil cuts are done at other times know that static water level
fluctuate according to the amount of high-water runoff from year to year.

STAR VALLEY CONSERVATION DISTRICT Board of Supervisors has reviewed the proposed
Clay Salzman and Ingeborg Vriend, simple subdivision south of Afton, Wyoming.
Due to large variation between groundwater levels in this section SVCD recommends soil cuts to
determine groundwater levels. If ground water is high, we recommend an enhanced septic system
and no basements. We recommend that soil cuts be taken in the spring/early summer when
groundwater is highest. If soil cuts are done at other times know that static water level can
fluctuate according to the amount of high-water runoff from year to year.
This report satisfies the Conservation District Review as required by Wyoming State Statute 18-5-
306. No other use is intended or implied. If there is any more information, we can provide for you,
please let us know.
Yours truly,
STAR VALLEY CONSERVATION DISTRICT
