The buffer will be planted with a <br /> I mixture of species such as Pacific willow, Scouler's willow, Indian plum, Nootka Rose, <br /> oceanspray, and red osier dogwood, for ultimate over-srory and mid-story species. <br /> Overstory consisting of western re�l cedar, western hemlock, and Sitka spruce will be planted <br /> I to provide shade and control of undesirable understory growth. Groundcover will be <br /> provided by planting salal and swordfern which supply superior soil binding characteristics, <br /> I shade rolerance and sediment controL Hydroseeding of exposed soil with a mix of 35 <br /> percent red-top (Agrostis alba), 55 percent red fescue (Festuca rubra) and 10 percent white <br /> clover (7rifnli�un repeits) will reduce the potential for erosion prior to escablishment of <br /> � ground cover. <br /> Yost-Installation Mceting <br /> I A post-construction meeting will be held on-site benveen the project biologist, applicant (or <br /> representative).
