An inspector, appointed under section 3 of this Act, who finds any restricted weeds or noxious weeds in or on any land, premises, vehicle, standing crop, hay, grain, fodder, machine, grain elevator, crop processing plant or equipment shall, in the case of restricted weeds, and may, in the case of noxious weeds, give a notice to the owner of occupant to destroy the restricted weeds or control the noxious weeds (sect. 12). The methods by which weeds or crops are to be destroyed or controlled may include systems of tillage, chemical control or other management practice that the inspector considers to be good agricultural practice for the land and district concerned (sect. 15). Other methods of control include a notice imposing a duty to comply (sect. 16), a notice to prohibit growing of crops (sect. 17), and stop orders (sect. 20). A person who: (a) has an interest in land as an owner or occupant, and (b) considers himself aggrieved by a notice that relates to the land and that is given by an inspector under section 12, 12.1 or 17(1), may appeal to the local authority of the municipality in which that land is located by filing a notice of appeal under section 28. Section 31 specifies duties of owners and occupants regarding weeds. The Minister may exempt from the operation of this Act or any provision of this Act a tract of land that is, in his opinion, waste land or sparsely inhabited land.
