dc�cumentation. This information will be provided in the first report. Review of photos � over time will provide some indication of the growth and success of the bufrer plantings. 2. VPgetation Assessment Veaetation data will be collected for the entire restoration area, as it comprises less than 3,000-SF. The data collection procedures will be oriented as to obtain quantitative data er� vegetation survival and areal coverage. The routine on site sampling methods shall include quadrat sampling to measure the percent cover of herb, shrub and trea species. The quadrat samplin� locations will correspond with the photopoints. Trees, shrubs and herbs that have been planted for the purpose of mitigation shall be visually evaluated to determir.e the r�te of survival, health, and vigor of each plant. The categories to be used shall include: Live, Stressed, Tip Die Back, Basal Sprouts, Not found, Apparently Dead and Dead. An annual report describing and quantifying the level of success of the plan will be submitted to the City of Everett for review ai�d approval. The monitorin5� strategy will consider, but is not limited to: a. Plant species composition and cover values for vegetation in the buffer restoration area; b. Survival rate of planted vegetation; c. Wildlife use; � d. Existing or potential degradation in the buffer restoration area. Monitoring Schedule Time-Zero Raport: At the completion of planting, a Time-Zero Report will be completed by the contractor and the environmental consultant, i.e., desic�n biologist. The Time-Zero RepoR will identify problems in obtaining materials; differences af sizes of materials than were originally called for; replacement ��aterials, if necessary, and any other conditions that varied from the mitigation pian. If the installation is found to be significantly different from the prepared mitigation plan, the landscape contractor will be responsible for the creation of an as-built plan. At the initiation of the Time-Zero Report, a series of permanent photo points Niill be established. The photo points wil! be designed to give a representation of the entire site during each stage of the monitoring program. Photo points will be established with permanently marked rebar. An instruction sheet, with the direction and number of photographs to be taken, will be provided to allow continuity if the monitor changes over the years. I �,` 3 �l�
