Why does Salt Lake have a noxious weed program?
Salt Lake County, like all other Utah counties, is responsible for implementing the Utah State Noxious Weed Act. This act outlines the duties of the commissioner, county weed boards, and weed supervisors to “…detect and treat noxious weeds…” within the County, compile data on infested areas, and implement a noxious weed control program that educates the public on the impacts of noxious weeds and enforces the law preventing the spread of noxious weeds.
