Roadside spraying for weed control and environmental enhancement will be performed by state licensed personnel along all Miami County roads during the period from May 1 to June 21, according to Miami County Engineer, Paul P. Huelskamp.  Modifications of this time period may be required, depending on weather conditions.

Anyone who has sensitive areas adjacent to the road right-of-way and does not wish these areas to be sprayed must erect “Begin No Spry” signs to mark the beginning and “End No Spray” to mark the end of the area. Signs need to be placed at intervals not exceeding 600 feet when the length of the no spray zone is 1,200 feet or larger.

The signs must be a minimum 12 inches high by 18 inches wide and the bottom of the sign a minimum 36 inches above the ground. Signs must be made with red or black lettering on a white background and the lettering legible from a moving vehicle.

Organic farm operations or specialized agricultural activity areas must register tracts with the engineer’s office annually to define the specific no spray area. The engineer’s office is at 2100 N. County Road 25A north of Troy.
