Baseline cover values shall be established immediate;y after planting. These standards may be modified upon City review of baseline information. 3. Survival of planted and voluntaer native vegetation shall be a minimum of 80 percent aftar 3 years. This s;andard shall be modified if survival is less than 80 percent but the restoration area meets the performance standards for areal coverage. If this is the case, the restoration plantings shall be judged successful. Maintenance The maintenance period shall extend for 3 growing seasons after the Glanting operations are complete. If inadequate maintenance is exhibited, this period may be extended until performance standards (according to the restoration criteria) are met.

The plant pits shall remain free of weeds or competing plants, to insure optimum growth. Replanting of any dead trees or shrubs noted in the first year of monitoring wili be conducted the first year(�vinter) after installation only. iVlonitoring General The wetland and upland planting areas will be monitored for a period of three years following construction. Monitoring shall commence the first year following completion of all construction activities. Monitoring will use standardized techniques and procedures as described below to measure the survival and growth of plant material and the success of the restoration plan overall. The monitoring strategy will include the following elements unless otherwise approved by the City of Everett. 1. Photopoints Photopoints shall be established in order to obtain representative photographs of the restoration project. Photographs of the buffer planting area will be taken from the same ( locations to document appe�rance, progress, and changes of the project.
