The Plan applies to the project and entire property identified above. The Plan is effective upon approval by the District Board (“Board”) for 3 years from the date of approval, or until the property’s ownership changes, or until a new Plan is entered. By entering this Plan, LANDOWNER agrees that the Board or its Representatives shall have the right to revise this Plan as necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Gallatin County Noxious Weed Management Plan or Montana County Weed Act. LANDOWNER agrees that the Board or its Representatives may inspect the property prior to granting approval of the Plan and, if approved, may perform such reasonable inspections as necessary to determine compliance with this Plan. By entering this Plan, LANDOWNER recognizes that noxious weeds exist on the property, and that failure to abide by the terms of this Plan is a violation of the Montana County Weed Act. LANDOWNER waives any statutory requirement for the District to inspect the land, and the District may enforce the violation upon giving 10 day notice to comply with the Plan. Prior to final plat approval of any phase of the subdivision, LANDOWNER shall comply with all requirements of the approved Plan. All areas of the property shall be, prior to final plat approval, sufficiently controlled for noxious weeds and sufficiently re-vegetated, as determined by the District. In addition, LANDOWNER shall provide documentation of annual weed control and all re-vegetation work as required by the District to demonstrate that the Plan has been sufficiently implemented (see page 6 for a list of required documentation). LANDOWNER recognizes that the approval of any requests for extensions or of final plats may be denied or delayed if noxious weeds have not been properly controlled. LANDOWNER agrees that this Plan is supported by good valid consideration and this Plan constitutes a binding contract and may be enforced as such.
