described in the approved preliminary mitigation plan and final mitigation plan developed for the Marshland Mitigation Site. 24. The mitigation plan must be implemented prior to the issuance of occupancy permits for the Homebase project. All elements of the mitigation plan shall be in place and functioning, including the Marshland Mitigation project to address wildlife function and value. The stormwater detention and water quality treatment portion of the on -site mitigation shall be constructed simultaneously with construction of the retail facility. 25. A wetland monitoring plan must be submitted with the final wetland mitigation plan. The plan shall include performance goals for created wetlands, as well as provisions for evaluation of enhanced wetlands and buffers. Wetland monitoring shall be conducted annually for five (5) years following completion of wetland mitigation. The results of wetland monitoring investigation shall be submitted to the Planning Department in the form of annual reports (one report submitted in the fall of each monitored year.) The report shall be prepared by Wetland Resources or another wetland biologist approved by the City, and the biologist shall certify whether the performance goals are being met and if not, recommend specific corrective actions necessary to achieve performance goals. Subject to approval by the City, necessary corrective actions must be made by the Applicant. 26. In order to property determine revegetation success, vegetation shall be monitored annually for the proposed wetland mitigation site. It is best to sample vegetation in summer, between mid -June and mid -August, when most species can be ea:.iiy identified. Photographs shall be taken from the beginning of the construction operation through the completion of the monitoring process. Permanent points shall be established after construction is completed and marked on the wetland map. Points shall be located in each vegetation community type Photos shall be taken at these points at the same time each year during optimal vegetation growth. Photographs will supplement vegetation cover and basal area data in determining if the vegetation component of the mitigation plan is performing satisfactorily. 27. Wildlife monitoring shall be performed by visual observations on a seasonal basis. Any mammal or bird tracks or other signs of wildlife shall be recorded at each visit to the newly created wetland and enhanced wetland. 28. In addition to the monitoring program, a contingency plan shall be developed in the event of identified mitigation shortfall such as plant mortality (20% plant mortality). An agreemen! between the applicant and the City of Everett shall be reached before implementation of the contingency plan. The contingency plan shall identify corrective actions which will be implemented if the vegetation goals are not met. 29. The wetland mitigation site shall be maintained in April and June of each year for the five year monitoring period. Maintenance shall include, but not be limited to, the removal of competing grasses and non-native vegetation (by hand if necessary), irrigation, fertilization (if necessary), replacement of plant mortality, and the replacement of mulch for each maintenance period. 30. The applicant shall provide a performance security bond in the amount of 300 percent of the estimated cost of implementing the Final Wetland Mitigation Plan prior to the EXHIBIT #I E rAGc..f_GF I3
