?HIRD AVENUE SELF S70RAGE FAGLITY <br /> EVERETT, WASHINGTION <br /> WE7LAND Mf7IQAT10A►�PL�W-. <br /> L MONi7'OR1Nd PRO(}RAM <br /> A monitoring progam will be dcveloped to evaluate the success of the mlukztina plan 'Yhe <br /> program will monitor water levels,se6imencation and vegetation for a period of three yeazs, <br /> Vegetatian will be munitored annually, ana sedimentation and wate: levels quanerly to <br /> correspond with,and re�ect,seazou�l variavon Annual progess reports will be prepared <br /> the first two ycazs, and a final report on the third year. All reports will be submitted by <br /> September 1 each year, The monitoring information to be colleaed is detailed below. <br /> Samplfng Methods <br /> Ve�taj(pp, Vegetadon wili be monitored annually (early summer) by a site walk-through <br /> method that wlil examine the three community layers, e.g. veos, shmbs, and ground layer <br /> forbs and gresses. Surviva!and mortality counts,and��gor and vitaliry obxervadons will be <br /> made. Survivorship also will be determined by noticing signs of stress,such as t6e presence <br /> of dead wood,toot suckering,and d'uease. Vigor and vitality will be defu�ed by signs of new <br /> growth,vegetative propagapon, flowcring, and seed production. Thu inEormation w�il] be <br /> collected during [he month of Iune. Inspections will identify any invazion by reed <br /> canary�{ass, purple loosestrife, or any other noxious wetland weeds. <br /> gydroloav With vegetative zonation 3aectly related to water depths,the need to monitor <br /> water depths is deemed necessary. Tbe objective of monitoring water depths is to deteraune <br /> the potential ef£ea water depth has on success(or lack of success)in establishing the tazget <br /> wedand hebitat type. Water levels vrill be monitored monthly during the first yeaz to <br /> determine the month w•hen inundation is at a maximum and at a minimum. Theteafter, <br /> monitoring will occur quarterly. [nundation and soil samration depths will be�easured at <br /> two permanent sampling poina. Overall water coverage u�ll be estimated throughout the <br /> wedand miugation arex. The condition and fimctionaliry fo the weirs wiU be thecked at the <br /> time oE thc hydrologic monitoring. <br /> � <br /> . oaokws�vo,�muaa�t <br /> mm�*amo�wm�'�o�c�i�tw� <br /> YININAp,TLLL11E1/0 <br /> ^. �ouuupiwmfim�ym <br /> �ae�a�am <br /> � <br /> ,�i <br />
