Panera Bread Stormwater Management Report Everett,WA individual or public potable wells are located in the proximity of commercial pesticide applications, contact the regional Ecology hydrogeologist to determine if additional pesticide application control measures are necessary. 5. Rinsing from equipment cleaning and/or triple-rinsing of pesticide containers should be used as product or recycled into product. For more information, contact the WSU Extension Home-Assist Program at(253)445-4556;Bio- Integral Resource Center(BIRC), P.O. Box 7414, Berkeley, CA 94707;or Ecology to obtain "Hazardous Waste Pesticides"(publication No. 89-41);contact U.S. EPA to obtain a publication entitled "Suspended, Canceled and Restricted Pesticides"which lists all restricted pesticides and the specific uses that are allowed. Valuable information from these sources may also be available on the Internet. Suggested BMPs for Vegetation Management 1. Use at least an 8-inch "topsoil" layer with at least 8 percent organic matter to provide a sufficient vegetation-growing medium.Amending existing landscapes and turf systems by increasing the percent organic matter and depth of topsoil can substantially improve the permeability of the soil, improve the disease and drought resistance of the vegetation, and reduce fertilizer demand.This reduces the demand for fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Organic matter is the least water-soluble form of nutrients that can be added to the soil. Composted organic matter generally releases only between 2 and 10 percent of its total nitrogen annually, and this release corresponds closely to the plant growth cycle. If natural plant debris and mulch are returned to the soil, this system can continue recycling nutrients indefinitely. 2. Select the appropriate turf grass mixture for the climate and soil type. Certain tall fescues and rye grasses resist insect attack because the symbiotic endophytic fungi found naturally in their tissues repel or kill common leaf and stem-eating lawn insects.They do not, however, repel root-feeding lawn pests such as Crane Fly larvae, and are toxic to ruminants such as cattle and sheep.The fungus causes no known adverse effects to the host plant or to humans. Endophytic grasses are commercially available and can be used in areas such as parks or golf courses where grazing does not occur.The local Cooperative Extension office can offer advice on which types of grass are best suited to the area and soil type. 3. Use the following seeding and planting BMPs, or equivalent BMPs,to obtain information on grass mixtures, temporary and permanent seeding procedures, maintenance of a recently planted area, and fertilizer application rates:Temporary Seeding, Mulching, and Matting; Clear Plastic Covering; Permanent Seeding and Planting; and Sodding as described in Volume II, Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention. 4. Selection of desired plant species can be made by adjusting the soil properties of the subject site. For example, a constructed wetland can be designed to resist the invasion of reed canary grass by layering specific strata of organic matters(e.g., compost forest product residuals) and creating a mildly acidic pH and carbon-rich soil medium. Consult a soil restoration specialist for site-specific conditions. Core States Group Page 33
