Subject: [DOGPAW] Herbicide Spraying at Pacific Park

Attention Pacific Park Off-Leash Area Users


Starting on Monday, July 9, 2007, Clark County Weed Management staff will
be spraying the herbicide Garlon 3A on blackberry bushes throughout the
wooded areas in Pacific Community Park, including in the temporary
off-leash dog park.


Staff will complete the application in the dog park first, before moving
on to other areas of the park.  As a precaution, THE DOG PARK WILL BE
CLOSED ALL DAY ON MONDAY, JULY 9, AND POSSIBLY ON TUESDAY, JULY 10.  Once
the herbicide has dried on the leaves each day, the dog park will be
reopened to the public. When dry, the herbicide does not present a danger
to people or pets.

Herbicide application throughout the rest of park will continue for
approximately 5-10 days. Clark County staff will post a spray notice at
all park entries before starting the spray application each day. The
posting will remain in place for a period of 24 hours, and will show the
date, what is being treated, the product being used, and a contact
telephone number for questions or concerns. Later this summer, work crews
will return to remove the dead blackberry bushes.  No closures of the dog
park will be needed for this work.
