Oregon road supervisors ordered to destroy injurious weeds
The new Oregon weed law requires road supervisors to identify Russian and Canada thistles Chinese thistle white mustard cocklebur and saltbush in their districts. They must notify owners or occupants prior to seed formation and file notice with the county clerk. If unaddressed within ten days, authorities may remove weeds, charge costs to landowners and place a lien. Penalties include fines up to 150 for supervisors and 50 to 500 for municipalities failing to comply. The act also establishes enforcement, labor duties, and emergency status.
