Arrangement and Spacing <br /> The plants shall be arranged in a pattern with the appropriate numbers, sizes, species, and <br /> distribution that are required in accordance with the approved plans. The actual placement of <br /> individual plants shall mimic natural, asymmetric vegetation patterns found on similar <br /> undisturbed sites in the area. <br /> Inspection(s) <br /> A wetland biologist shall be present on site to inspect the plants prior to planting. Minor <br /> adjustments to the original design may be required prior to and during construction. <br /> 12.0 MAINTENANCE <br /> The enhancement area will require periodic maintenance to remove undesirable species and <br /> replace vegetation mortality. Maintenance may include, but will not be limited to, removal of <br /> non-native species, irrigation, fertilization (if necessary), replacement of plant mortality, and the <br /> replacement of mulch for each maintenance period. Chemical control, only if approved by city <br /> staff, shall be applied by a licensed applicator following all label instructions. Maintenance shall <br /> occur a minimum of 2 times per growing season during the monitoring period. <br /> Duration and Extent <br /> In order to achieve performance standards, the permittee shall have the enhancement area <br /> maintained for the duration of the five-year monitoring period. Maintenance will include <br /> watering, weeding around the base of installed plants, pruning, replacement, re-staking, removal <br /> of all classes of noxious weeds (see Washington State Noxious Weeds List, WAC 16-750-005) as <br /> well as English holly (Ilex aquifolium), and any other measures needed to ensure plant survival. <br /> The landscape designer and/or wetland biologist shall direct all maintenance. <br /> Survival <br /> The permittee shall be responsible for the health of 100% of all newly installed plants for one <br /> growing season after installation has been accepted by the City of Everett. A growing season for <br /> these purposes is defined as occurring from spring to spring (March 15 to March 15 of the <br /> following year). For fall installation (often required), the growing season will begin the following <br /> spring. The Permittee shall replace any plants that are failing, weak, defective in manner of <br /> growth, or dead during this growing season, as directed by the landscape designer, wetland <br /> biologist, and/or City of Everett staff. <br /> Installation Timing for Replacement Plants <br /> Replacement plants shall be installed between November 1 and March 1, unless otherwise <br /> determined by the landscape designer,wetland biologist, and/or City of Everett staff. <br /> Standards for Replacement Plants <br /> Replacement plants shall meet the same standards for size and type as those specified for the <br /> original installation unless otherwise directed by the landscape designer, wetland biologist, <br /> and/or City of Everett staff. <br /> View Ridge Community Church 13 Critical Area Report and Buffer <br /> WRI#16092 Averaging/Enhancement Plan <br /> November 21,2016 <br />
