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 /> Replanting <br /> Plants that have settled in their planting pits too deep, too shallow, loose, or crooked shall be <br /> replanted as directed by the landscape designer,wetland biologist, and/or City of Everett staff. <br /> Irrigation/Watering <br /> Water shall be provided during the dry season (approximately July 1 through October 1) for at <br /> least the first growing season after installation to insure plant survival and establishment. A <br /> temporary above ground irrigation system and/or water truck shall provide water. Water shall be <br /> applied at a rate of 1 inch of water twice per week during the first dry season. The consulting <br /> biologist may amend this watering protocol within the yearly monitoring reports. <br /> Mulch <br /> Mulch shall be re-applied to new shrubs and trees during the spring maintenance visits for the <br /> first three monitoring years, unless otherwise recommended by the consulting biologist. Plants <br /> shall receive no less than 2 to 4 inches of woody mulch in individual mulch rings. Mulch shall be <br /> kept well away(at least 2 inches) from the trunks and stems of woody plants. <br /> General <br /> The Permittee shall include in general maintenance activities the replacement of any vandalized <br /> or damaged signs, habitat features, fences, or other structural components of this mitigation site, <br /> as well as debris/litter removal. <br /> 3.6 CONTINGENCY PLAN <br /> If 20% of the plants are severely stressed during any of the inspections, or it appears 20% may <br /> not survive, additional plantings of the same species may be added to the planting area. Species <br /> substitutions may be allowed if approved by a wetland biologist and/or City of Everett. Elements <br /> of a contingency plan may include, but will not be limited to: more aggressive weed control, pest <br /> control, mulching, replanting with larger plant material, species substitution, fertilization, soil <br /> amendments, and/or irrigation. <br /> Sonrise Christian Center 15 Critical Areas Study,Buffer Averaging, <br /> March 2,2018 &Buffer Enhancement Plan <br />
