of herbicide is scheduled throughout the year. The chemical application for the roadbed is scheduled, weather
depending, from May 1 through July 31, 2026. The chemical application for areas adjacent to the roadbed is
scheduled, weather depending, from July 1 through October 31, 2026. Off track chemical application is
scheduled, weather depending, from June 1 to August 31, 2026.

Vegetation Management Plan permit issued for 2026-2030. The identification on the maps of private drinking
water supply wells remains an ongoing process. Please notify Benesch, Keolis, and the Department of
Agricultural Resources of any omissions and or new private drinking water supply wells.
