        317.18  ORDER FOR WEED CONTROL ON ROADS.         The board of supervisors may order all noxious weeds, within the      right-of-way of all roads under county jurisdiction to be cut,      burned, or otherwise controlled to prevent seed production, either      upon its own motion or upon receipt of written notice requesting the      action from any residents of the township in which the roads are      located, or any person regularly using the roads.  The order shall be      consistent with the county integrated roadside vegetation management      plan, if the county has adopted such a plan, and the order shall      define the roads along which noxious weeds are required to be cut,      burned, or otherwise controlled and shall require the weeds to be      cut, burned, or otherwise controlled within fifteen days after the      publication of the order in the official newspapers of the county or      as prescribed in the county's integrated roadside vegetation      management plan.  The order shall provide that spraying for control      of noxious weeds shall be limited to those circumstances when it is      not practical to mow or otherwise control the weeds.
