This action shall take place shortly aRer the rainy season has ended (typically June), so as to minimize runoff and siltation into the wetland. The applicant's biologist should be onsite during the beginning of the vegetation debris removal. Caze should be taken during debris removal firom the wetland to not fwther disturb buffer areas. After debris removal is completc, a split-rail fet:ce will be constructed along the final wetland/sueam buffer (not including the historical use area), and critical areas signs will be posted on the fence. Site Moniloring The applicanYs biologist will inspect the site following the mmoval of the vegetation de oris. The site will then be monitored for one year in order to determine whether natural colonization is occurring in the wetland or buffer, or if planting of native species is recommended in order to restore the remaining lost functions. The site will be monitored at six months and at one year from the point of the initial site inspection; therefore, if the work is completed in June 2012, the biologist will visit the site in December 2012 and June 2013. Following each monitoring visit, the biologist wili write a letter to the City of Everett describing the findings and presenting recommendations. The performance standard for determining whether recolonization is satisfactory is 30% native vegetation coverage in the wedand and the buffer at the end of Year 1. If a planting plan is required to be submiried after the Year 1 monitoring, it wiil contain all elements required by the Code, including a monitoring, maintenance, and contingency plan. A site meeting may be held with the applicant, biologist, and City in order to determine the details of the planting plan prior to its submittal. $gOCKEY PLANNING GROUP� INC. ' � �� -��. Darccy B.
