All invasive plant debris, including roots, stems, and foliage, shall be hauled off site after removal. <br /> Throughout the monitoring period, any invasive species that re-sprouts shall be promptly removed <br /> by hand. Any debris/litter found in the wetland or buffer during invasive plant removal or planting <br /> activities shall be removed from site. <br /> 5.7 PROJECT AND PLANTING NOTES <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 Puget <br /> Sound region of Washington. Some species substitution may be allowed due to the availability of <br /> plants, only with the agreement of the wetland professional and/or City staff. <br /> Pre-Planting Meeting <br /> Prior to control of invasive species or installation of mitigation plantings, a site meeting between <br /> the contracted landscaper and the consulting wetland professional shall occur to discuss the intent <br /> of the project and resolve any questions. During this meeting, a discussion regarding plant spacing <br /> and locations of plant species shall occur. <br /> Inspections <br /> A wetland biologist shall be contracted to periodically inspect the mitigation installation described <br /> in this plan. Minor adjustments to the original design may be necessary prior to and during <br /> construction due to unusual or hidden site conditions. A City representative and/or consulting <br /> biologist shall approve any changes. <br /> 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 Puget <br /> Sound region of Washington. Some limited species substitution may be allowed, only with the <br /> 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 not <br /> be bound with wire or rope in a manner that could damage branches. Protect plant roots with <br /> shade and wet soil in the time period between delivery and installation. Do not lift container stock <br /> by trunks, stems, or tops. Do not remove from containers until ready to plant. Water all plants as <br /> necessary to keep moisture levels appropriate to the species horticultural requirements. Plants shall <br /> not be allowed to dry out. All plants shall be watered thoroughly immediately upon installation. <br /> Soak all containerized plants thoroughly prior to installation. Plants whose roots have dried out <br /> from exposure will not be accepted at installation inspection. <br /> 2127100th Street SE 14 WRI#23188 <br /> Critical Area Study and Mitigation Plan October 9, 2023 <br />
