Abstract Title: SALTCEDAR CONTROL AND ENDANGERED SPECIES IN THE UPPER COLORADO RIVER BASIN, TEXAS. A CASE STUDY. Okla W. Thornton, Jr.*, Colorado River Municipal Water District, Big Spring, TX, and Allan McGinty, Texas Cooperative Extension, San Angelo, TX.
Abstract Text: Two listed species in the upper Colorado River basin, Texas (Texas poppy mallow and Concho water snake) were problematic for the planned saltcedar control project along the Colorado and Concho Rivers and within two mainstem reservoirs. A multi-agency task force was convened to consider modifications to an herbicide label restriction that prohibited saltcedar treatment in a major portion of the project area. This presentation reports on the cooperative effort between federal and state agencies to successfully resolve the problem and implement this project.
