•    Use the National Invasive Species Management Plan http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov.   
•    Inventory and map noxious weeds on the development site. Consider alternatives to toxic spraying as removal technique. Consider rangeland mitigation in context to adjacent riparian and water courses.
•    All noxious weeds should be eradicated prior to commencement of any construction project.
•    Implement restrictions that permit the planting of only native or non-invasive species in any landscaping.
•    Avoid site disturbance (defined as areas within designated roadway prisms, utility corridors or designated building envelopes per plat).
•    Ensure proper management of invasive species throughout the buildout of a development. Implement policy of contact avoidance with noxious weed infested areas. Seeds can become stuck in tire treads or mud on the vehicle and be carried to unaffected areas.
•    Avoid transport of unidentified flowering plants.
A development site plan and summary report must include the following:
•    Alternative site designs that must include measures taken to avoid impact to critical vegetation and habitat.
•    Summary of the critical findings related to protection of habitat and vegetation.
•    Outline of a long-term management plan that identifies responsible resources and funding in order to protect the habitat and vegetation.
•    The inventory and report must be prepared by a professional who possesses the proper experience, education, certifications, and strong understanding of native ecology.  Work with a local weed district to determine the appropriate strategy for preserving native species.
