They recommend application of ROUNDUP [glyphosate(41%)~2.Sfl.oz./gal. after August 1st and preferably in early September. Cutting in late June to early July on the year that spraying will take place can be helpful. Significant control may require multiple applications of glyphosate over the course of a several growing seasons. Protocol: l) 2) 3) Late June-early July cut and remove stalks Allow knotweed to re-grow After August 1, apply ROUNDUP The use of salt for controlling knotweed could not be located in any reference, but we have initiated trials using salt to control common reed in several small-scale experiments. Our application rate is 1 lb/ft2. However I would think than half this amount would be appropriate for control ofknotwecd. We have applied repeatedly over the course of the season, especially after heavy rains which tend to wash the salt out. Agway sells a pure salt for use in water softeners that runs about $7/501bs (Product Number 72757500, Super Coarse Salt). This treatment can be initiated at any time. Protocol: l) 2) 3) Cut to the ground Apply ½ Ib/ft2 by hand or spreader Repeat application after heavy rains I would think that you would have a better chance of getting this through if you propose to treat a subsection of the knotweed bed, especially for the ROUNDUP protocol. NYSDEC may also want you to use RODEO instead of roundup since this site is adjacent to the water, but there are no recommendations for using this product for this species. If you wanted you could propose using RODEO at the same concentration of glyphosate that is found in ROUNDUP, but I have no idea what surfactant you should use.

Of Environmental Permits, Region One Bldg. 40 - SUNY Stony Brook, NY 11790-2356 Att: Criss Arfsten, DEC #14738-02862/00001 Re: Beach at End of Knoll Circle, So. Of Spring Pond Lagoon Dear Sir: In answer to your letter of April 23, 2001, our telephone conversation on 7/31/01 and in conjunction with information in letter (enclosed) from Chris Piekerell of Comell C.E. It is impracticable to do test sites using salt or "Roundup" because it would take years to do the tests for results and then yeats to use the desired Ueatment. We have ruled out salt for two reasons. (1) Co~t - minimum, for one application at ~ strength of ¼ lb. per sq. ft. is $945, just for the salt. After a few rains, salt would have to be laid again, etc. (2) It will not kill it. I have tried to stop weeds growing in my beach pebble driveway with this salt, but the weeds just grow hack. Spraying "Roundup" [giyphosate, (41%) ~ 2.5 fl. oz./gal.], recommended by a State of Connecticut study, can only be done once per year over several growing seasons. This could be an option. We have dug a test hole to ascertain the depth of the roots to figure the amount of cu. yds. needed to excavate the area, truck it away and replace with clean fill. While the surface roots are dense and only 6 "deep, the main vertical roots (supporting many stalks) go down between 3 and 4 '. This would require, (at a depth of 4') an excavation of 2,000 cu. yds. in the .31 acre area of knot weed. The cost would be exorbitant. The estimate is between $16,000 and $18,000, plus an additional expense to replant. In lieu of all the above we have decided not to destroy it all. Therefore, we respectfully ask for a permit to do the following: 1. Cut all stalks late June - early July 2. Remove stalks only from perimeter on beach side and allow entire area to re-grow 3. After August 1st, apply "Roundup" only on beach perimeter grow -back. This program should stop the weeds from spreading and the clear cutting would make it less objectionable even though it regrows to full height again in 1 and V2 months.

Re: Removal of Jerusalem Artichoke on Beach of Gardiners Bay Estates Home Owner Association, Inc. Sirs: We respectfully ask for a "Letter of Permission" to remove, by herbicide, a pesky, spreading, tick infested growth called Jerusalem Artichoke. In place we will plant indigenous plants such as rose rugosa, bayberry bushes and beach grass. Last year we had an on-site inspection of this area by the N.Y.S.D.E.C., who said they would approve the above plan. We are now applying for their permit. No permit is needed, from my understanding, from the Army C.O.E. Enclosed, herewith, find: (1) plot plan showing the location of this weed, (2) Letter of Diagnosis/ Recommendation from Cornell Cooperative Extension, and (3) Copy of authorization for Lawrence J. Matzen as Agent for G.B.E.H.O.A. Yours truly, Agent: Lawrence J. Matzen Chairman Marine Committee G.B.E.H.O.A. P.O.

PO Box 4 East Marion, NY 11939 Consumer: x C0mmereial: l~nane: Office:x Maih Pesticide Recommendations obtained from: 2000 Pest Management Around the Home, Part H, pg. 90 PROBLEM/QUESTION: Plant Ideotification DIAGNOSIS/RECOMMENDATION: The information you provided in the d'mguostic checklist for your plant sample was vague, however I believe that your sample was from a Jerusalem Artichoke. This plant is a tall rhizomatous and tuberous perennial, growing from 3-10 feet tall. It is sometimes cultivated for its edible tubers, but once established is aggressive and difficult to control. It reproduces mainly by tubers but also by seed. These tubers are irregularly oval, reddish on the outside, white ins/de, with knobs or bumps on the surface. A single plant can produce over 200 tubers in a growing season. This plant flowers fi.om August through October with yellow ray and disk flowers. The aboveground plant parts die back after frost and do not persist, and the plant overwinters as a tuber. This plant is a weed of nurseries, landscapes, and orchards, as well as roadsides and waste places. Removing or cutting down the plants is useless if all the tubers are not also removed fi.om the soil. You may consider spraying this plant with a non-selective herbicide, such as glyphosate or triclopyr, which would be taken in through the leaves and transloeated down into the roots, killing them. Sprays would have to be made while the plants are in the process of producing tubers, which begins in midsummer and reaches its peak in late summer and early autumn. As with all chemicals, follow label d'treetions carefully. If you have ..f~rther questions, call me at 581-4223, Monday through Frida~till 12 Noon. Prepared by.
