Abstract

In order to protect the livestock industry, the objectives of this Chapter are to provide for the control, suppression and eradication of the poisonous weed Halogeton glomeratus, to provide for the maintenance and development of valuable forage plants on range and pasture lands, and to prevent destruction or impairment of range and pasture lands and other lands by the growth, spread, and development of this weed. It is the responsibility of the Secretary of the Interior with respect to lands under his jurisdiction, including trust or restricted Indian lands, and the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to any other lands, to promote these objectives, by conducting surveys, determining measures, planning and implementing such measures. The authority contained in this Chapter shall be in addition to, and shall not limit or supersede, authority contained in existing law with respect to the control, suppression, and eradication of pests, plants, and plant diseases.
