Timing <br />Plant in the early spring or late fall and obtain all plants from a reputable nursery. Care and <br />handling of all plant materials is extremely important to the overall success of the project. The <br />origin of all plant materials specified in this plan shall be native plants, nursery grown in the <br />Puget Sound region of Washington. Some limited species substitution may be allowed, only with <br />the agreement of the wetland biologist and/or City staff. <br />Handling <br />Plants shall be handled so as to avoid all damage, including breaking, bruising, root damage, <br />sunburn, drying, freezing or other injury. Plants must be covered during transport. Plants shall <br />not be bound with wire or rope in a manner that could damage branches. Protect plant roots <br />with shade and wet soil in the time period between delivery and installation. Do not lift container <br />stock by trunks, stems, or tops. Do not remove from containers until ready to plant. Water all <br />plants as necessary to keep moisture levels appropriate to the species horticultural requirements. <br />Plants shall not be allowed to dry out. All plants shall be watered thoroughly immediately upon <br />installation. Soak all containerized plants thoroughly prior to installation. Plants whose roots <br />have dried out from exposure will not be accepted at installation inspection. <br />Storage <br />Plants stored by the Permittee for longer than one month prior to planting shall be planted in <br />nursery rows, and treated in a manner suitable to the species' horticultural requirements. Plants <br />must be re -inspected by the wetland biologist and/or landscape designer prior to installation. <br />Damaged plants <br />Damaged, dried out, or otherwise mishandled plants will be rejected at installation inspection. <br />All rejected plants shall be immediately removed from the site. <br />Plant Names <br />Plant names shall comply with those generally accepted in the native plant nursery trade. Any <br />question regarding plant species or variety shall be referred to the landscape designer, wetland <br />biologist, or City staff. All plant materials shall be true to species and variety and legibly tagged. <br />Quality and condition <br />Plants shall be normal in pattern of growth, healthy, well -branched, vigorous, with well - <br />developed root systems, and free of pests and diseases. Damaged, diseased, pest -infested, scraped, <br />bruised, dried out, burned, broken, or defective plants will be rejected. Plants with pruning <br />wounds over 1" in diameter will be rejected. <br />Roots <br />All plants shall be balled and burlapped or containerized, unless explicitly authorized by the <br />landscape designer and/or wetland biologist. Rootbound plants or B&B plants with damaged, <br />cracked, or loose rootballs (major damage) will be rejected. Immediately before installation, <br />plants with minor root damage (some broken and/or twisted roots) must be root -pruned. Matted <br />or circling roots of containerized plantings must be pruned or straightened and the sides of the <br />APV Ventures LLC —Dakota Way 16 CriticalArea Repor4 Buffer Mitigation <br />WRI #20015 Plan & Habitat Assessment <br />April27, 2020 <br />
