Mulch <br /> All landscaped areas denuded of vegetation and soil surface surrounding all planting pit areas <br /> shall receive no less than 2 to 4 inches of organic compost or certified weed free straw after <br /> planting. Compost or certified weed free straw shall be kept well away (at least 2 inches) from the <br /> trunks and stems of woody plants. <br /> 5.0 PROJECT MONITORING PROGRAM <br /> 5.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR MONITORING PROJECT <br /> 1. Initial compliance/as-built report <br /> 2. Semi-annual site inspection (twice per year spring and summer) for five years <br /> 3. Annual reports including final report (one report submitted in the summer of each monitored <br /> year) <br /> Purpose for Monitoring <br /> The purpose for monitoring this mitigation project shall be to evaluate its success. Success will be <br /> determined if monitoring shows at the end of five years that the definitions of success stated <br /> below are being met. The property owner shall grant access to the mitigation area for inspection <br /> and maintenance to the contracted landscape and/or wetland specialist and The City during the <br /> period of the bond or until the project is evaluated as successful. <br /> Monitoring <br /> Monitoring shall be conducted for five years in accordance with the approved Mitigation Plan. <br /> The monitoring period will begin once the City receives written notification confirming the <br /> mitigation plan has been implemented and City staff inspects the site and issues approval of the <br /> installation. <br /> Vegetation Monitoring <br /> Representative photopoints shall be selected, and permanently marked in the field with rebar, <br /> PVC, or other marking device. Photos must be taken from the original locations during each <br /> monitoring year to establish a record of plant growth throughout the monitoring period. The <br /> exact location of permanent photopoints must be depicted in the as-built report (attached map), <br /> and Year 0 photographs shall be included in the as-built letter to document baseline conditions. <br /> Vegetation sampling shall be conducted as a qualitative assessment, for the purpose of <br /> establishing approximate invasive cover and approximate areal coverage. Total invasive cover <br /> will be determined as follows: the contracted biologist will walk the entirety of the mitigation <br /> planting area and record approximate invasive species coverage. Total observed invasive species <br /> cover divided by the total area of the mitigation site yields approximate invasive cover. The <br /> findings will be presented in the annual report. <br /> Total areal coverage will be determined as follows: the contracted biologist will walk the entirety <br /> of the mitigation planting area and record approximate areal coverage.
