• Recruitrnent of Appropriate New Species -noting species which are noa-invasive and suitable for zones in which they appear; • Vigor/Vitality - appeazance of new growth, vegetative propagauon, flowering and seed producaon; and • Overview phorographic record. In addidon, at permanent photographic sta6ons associated with each control transect, semi-annual overview phorographs will provide supplemental vegetadon informafion. A maximum of one month after the completion of wetlands construction, initial monitoring will be conducted at each data plot locatioa to establish a base for evaluafion. During chat data collecfion, plant locations will be recorded within each data plot, along with notations of any uohealthy plants. During the first August following pianting, data plots will be assessed to reveal eazly signs of attainment of project goals and performance standazds. Subsequent mouitoring of vegetation will occur in late summer, nominally at the end of each successive growing seasons, terminating with the fifth growing season. Wetland Hvdrology. Monitoring water depths is required to determine degree to which water depth is impacting establishment of planned vegetative zones. For the first yeaz foilowing construction, macimum and minimum inundaUon of the miugation azea will be determined tluough quarterly recording. The second and fifth years' data collection will be concurrent with summer data coUecaon for other paza[neters. In addiuon, saturafion or water depth data will be collected at each of the data plot locaaons. Wild[i e s . Fixed wildlife observapon r�oints will be established upland of each control transect in cleaz view of the area covered by the monitoriug iransects. Using spotting scopes and/or binoculazs, seasonal wildlife use informaflon will be collected during the first yeu, concurrent with collection of other data; subsequent years' mformation will be collected in July. Sighting and listening for bird songs will allow estimates of bird abundance aod diversity. Incidental observations of terrestrial vertebrates and amphibians will be noted. Weather crireria, durafion and pme of observation periods will be standardiaed in a manner to ensure useful information. 3.5.2 Reconnaissance Monitoring During collecflon of detailed data at each control transect locaflon, a general overview will be conducted of the mitigation area by walking and reconnaissance observafion. Such informafion will be included in the reporting process. 3.5.3 Reporting Afrer each of the major monitoring events during the first, second and fifth years, a report supporting the data conclusions and recoc�menda6ons will be submitted to the Mukilteo School District and to the City of Everett. Such recommendations will provide maintenance and invasives Muki[teo Sch. Dist. Central Faeility Final Mitigarion P@n Page 17 Lovell-Sauerland &Associates, Inc.
