S • Norton Ave SFR-CAR&Mitigation Plan iii) Invasive and non-native species will have 10%or less aerial coverage within the mitigation areas. These plants include: Himalayan blackberry,reed canary grass,and Scotch broom Evaluation Method:Quadrat sampling Contingency: • Substitute species that are more suited to local conditions for species that had high mortality(>80%) • Irrigate at regular intervals during the growing season to reduce transplant stress • Promote optimum growth by removing competing vegetation in plant pits • Replant with stock that propagates quickly Goal 2: Preserve and protect critical areas on the subject property. Objective 1: Fence and sign the boundary of onsite critical areas as required by EMC 19.37.110(E). Performance Standard: • Fencing and signs are installed according to EMC 19.37.110(E). Evaluation Method: Review and approval by the project biologist. Contingency: • Replace or install fence and/or signs as necessary 6.0 Monitoring 6.1 General The monitoring period for this mitigation project will last for five years. After the completion of the Time Zero/As-built Report and subsequent approval,the bond anniversary date will be set and the monitoring period shall begin. The mitigation sites will be monitored using standardized techniques and procedures described below for vegetation survival,vigor and growth of plant material,and the success of the mitigation plan overall. The monitoring strategy will include the following elements unless otherwise approved by City staff. 7.0 Monitoring Schedul e An annual report describing and quantifying the level of success of the plan will be written and submitted to the City of Everett for review and approval. The monitoring strategy will consider,but is not limited to: a) Plant species composition and cover values for vegetation in the planting areas b) Survival rate of originally planted vegetation c) Wildlife use
