To the Editor:

RE: City of Moscow Street Spraying Program
The City of Moscow has an annual contract for the spraying of various =
herbicides on City streets, alleys, right-of-ways, etc. The purpose of =
this spraying program is threefold: 1) to prevent weeds from growing in =
street cracks and causing further damage to roadways; 2) to eliminate =
noxious weeds (which has essentially been accomplished on City right-of- =
ways); and 3) to control other weeds. This program runs from late spring =
through early autumn and monthly notices run in this newspaper during =
that time.

If you are a chemically sensitive person or wish not to have spraying =
done adjacent to or on your property, you must notify the City of Moscow =
Street Superintendent, Mike McGahan by phone at 883-7096. You must call =
each year to be added to the list; it does not carry over from year to =
year. You may post "No Spray" signs on your property, but please make =
sure they do not obstruct the clear view of motorists.

The City's Commission on Health and Environment asks that you hand pull =
or otherwise remove weeds growing along your property, especially those =
in curb and street cracks, if you request no spraying along your =
property.

If you have questions about this program, its purpose, or about the =
herbicides used you may contact the Moscow Street Department at the =
above phone number. More information, including Material Safety Data =
Sheets for the chemicals used and herbicide-free weed removal methods, =
is posted on the City's web site at www.ci.moscow.id.us

Sincerely,

Dianne French
Chair, Moscow Commission on Health and the Environment
