     1. The designated weeds subject to control within the Goose Creek Weed Control District are:

     (a) Those noxious weeds specified in NAC 555.010; and

     2. When considering chemical control of designated weeds, the Board of Directors of the Goose Creek Weed Control District shall follow the latest recommendations of the University of Nevada, Reno, and the Department.

     4. The District may inspect any medium used in agricultural production, including, without limitation, machinery, livestock, forage, feed grain and seed for planting, which is moving to or within the District and is capable of spreading weeds designated for control by the District. If upon inspection the agricultural medium is found to be infested with viable reproductive parts of a designated weed, the medium used in agricultural production must be treated in a manner approved by the District.

     5. If a farmer, rancher or landowner refuses to allow the District to control a designated weed on his or her property or refuses to perform the necessary control measures in a manner acceptable to the District, the Board of Directors may request the Director to initiate legal proceedings as provided by law.

     6. The District may cooperate financially with a subdivision outside the District which is infested with a weed that is subject to control within the District if that infestation renders a potential problem to the control of weeds within the District.
