Drone Applications
You can sign up to receive email or text notifications about scheduled drone herbicide applications on non-agricultural open space areas. Notifications will be sent out on the Friday before the week of application. Drones may be used in areas where the terrain is too steep for worker safety, tractors cannot operate safely, or the area is too large for other methods to be practical. They are also ideal for smaller, remote applications in places that are otherwise inaccessible. To ensure safety, drones are operated at least 50 feet away from property boundaries and a minimum of 660 feet (1/8 of a mile) from residential areas and municipal boundaries.

| 2025/05/1905/19/2025 | 2025/05/2305/23/2025 | Hall Ranch Quarry Site | No | Milestone | A drone herbicide application will be conducted during this timeframe by the managing contractors to fulfill state requirements for mine reclamation at the Hall Quarry Site before management of the site is transferred to Boulder County control. A drone application is preferred over other application methods for personnel safety and because drones operate 20 feet or less from the ground, move at slower speeds and in patterns, and can be programed to spray small, specific areas. | View Map |
