博尔德县重启无人机喷洒除草剂计划 联邦法官已驳回环保诉讼
2026年11月1日，科罗拉多州博尔德县一项曾引发强烈反对的杂草治理计划重新推进：县政府计划出动无人机，在博尔德县红山一带的野地喷洒除草剂，覆盖数百英亩 rugged 地带。县政府表示，此举旨在清除入侵杂草、降低浓密的旱雀麦等杂草带来的野火风险。红山位于博尔德县生物多样性丰富的地带，以稀有物种、野生动物栖息地以及周边的农场和牧场著称，争议的核心除草剂是茚嗪氟草胺，商品名为Rejuvra。
红山脚下黄谷仓农场主阿祖拉耶·怀科夫表示，这项计划的影响远超一县杂草治理的范畴。博尔德市政府9月已向县政府提交了本市多年研究的报告。县政府的整体杂草治理计划覆盖2000多英亩，不止红山一处。环保倡议者2024年曾起诉，主张无人机喷洒可能因飘移直接接触人体、违反联邦杀虫剂法；联邦法官10月9日驳回了原告的诉讼请求，案件被撤销。
反对者正推动“暂缓喷洒”行动，呼吁居民加入、敦促县政府重新考虑。
Boulder County Revives Drone Herbicide Spraying Plan After Judge Dismisses Environmental Lawsuit
On November 1, a weed-control plan that had drawn strong opposition in Boulder County, Colorado, moved forward again: the county plans to use drones to spray herbicide over several hundred acres of rugged wildland around Red Mountain in Boulder County. The county says the goal is to clear invasive weeds and reduce the wildfire risk posed by dense cheatgrass and similar growth.
Red Mountain lies in a biologically rich part of Boulder County known for rare species, wildlife habitat and nearby farms and ranches. The herbicide at the center of the dispute is indaziflam, sold under the brand name Rejuvra. Azuraya Wycoff, whose Yellow Barn farm sits at the foot of Red Mountain, says the plan's impact reaches far beyond one county's weed control. The City of Boulder submitted its own multi-year research report to the county in September. The county's overall weed program covers more than 2,000 acres, not just Red Mountain.
Environmental advocates sued in 2024, arguing that drone spraying could expose people directly through drift and violate federal pesticide law. A federal judge dismissed the plaintiffs' claims on October 9, and the case was closed. Opponents are now pushing a "pause the spraying" campaign, urging residents to join and press the county to reconsider.
