Mid-eme:ee.n Zone. In addition to Pacitic water pazsley, broad-leaf cattail, broadleaf waterpianwin <br /> (A[isma plan:ago-aquatica, OBL), hazd-stem bulrush(Scirpus acurus, OBL), azrowhead (Saginaria <br /> sp., OBL)and burreed(Sparganium sp.,OBL)will be planted in this 4,070 squaze foot zone, located <br /> in the northeast margin of Wedand E. <br /> 3.4 Performance Standards <br /> Performance standazds have been Pstablished to ensure project success and provide a set of criteria <br /> for evaluating contracror and desig.i effectiveness in mee6ng wetland crea6on project goals over the <br /> course of the five yeaz bonding period. The monitoring program will compue the accomptished . <br /> wedand creafion project with the performance standazds. In the event that performancc- standazds <br /> ue not met, a determination will be made regazding the need for implementing the condngency pian. <br /> The performance standazds aze: <br /> 1. Creation of a minimum of approximately 12,600 squaze feet of emergent mazsh and <br /> scrub-shrub wedand. <br /> 2. Iniaal removal of invasive plant species such as purple loosestrife, reed canazygrass and <br /> Himalayan blackberry and subsequent annual control of such species. Standard for <br /> control is to be iniaal removal of all target species woody and germinal material within <br /> the midgation azea and annual removal of such material in excess of 10 percent coverage <br /> of the midgation azea. <br /> 3. Construction methods shall minimize disruption and disturbance of adjacent we@and and <br /> upland communides, except as required by the mitigadon plan; unavoidably disturbed <br /> azeas will be restored by a combinaflon of hydroseeding and planung of native vegetaflon. <br /> 4. Const[vction shall incorporate intent and specific T.E.S.0 elements and any lack of <br /> compGance shall be corrected without delay. <br /> 5. Establish at least two wetland habitat classes to meet the exisdng habitat level. <br /> 6. For a minimum of five years, the goal is for 80 percent survival of all planted species. <br /> However, since vegetation community savcture will respond to small hydrologic and <br /> other environmental conditions, the over-riding goal is creauon oF a viable vegetational <br /> community for each zone. Success shall not be measured in terms of survival of planted <br /> species alone. Where naturally- recruited species replace planted materials, plant cove: <br /> class minimum cover shall meet or exceed the standazds in Table 3. <br /> Mud7lteo Sch. Dist.
