Carbon County Gravel Certification Program
There is a growing demand in Carbon County for the use of certified weed-free gravel as a preventative program in integrated Weed Management Systems to limit the spread of noxious weeds in right-of-ways. The goal of this program is to provide a guideline to set minimum requirements for uniform participation across the country. Certified gravel reduces the spread of noxious weeds and assists in the management of invasive species. Use on most federal land now requires gravel to be certified weed-free. If you would like to participate in the program, please contact a CCWP representative to schedule a time for field inspection
