February 6th, 2018 G-4588 2525 Taylor Drive Page 2 GEO Group Northwest recommends using three or more different species of native plants for restoration of vegetation in the revegetation area,to be planted in parts of the slope that do not already contain existing,non-invasive vegetation. Some options for native plants that should grow well in the region include: • Sword Ferns • Brakken Ferns • Oregon Grape • Saint John's Wort • Red Currant • Clover These plants should improve the stability of the slope while mitigating erosion,but will take time to grow and establish root systems.Also,being all shrubs or low-growing vegetation,these plants should not grow excessively large to block the coastal view afforded by the property. Guidelines and best practices described in local nursery publications or advised by qualified plant specialists,such as spacing recommendations specific to plants used, should be followed in addition to those provided in this report when developing a revegetation plan and administering planting of the plants. If the steepness of the slope severely limits accessibility on the slope and makes planting difficult,GEO Group Northwest recommends hydroseeding the revegetation area with native plant species seed mixes as an alternative to the recommendations described previously.
