CMI Homebuilder's Inc. Wetland Delineation and • During year one, replace all dead plant material. (M) . Water all pl2ntings at a rate of 1" of water at least every week between June 15 — September 15 during the first year after installation, and for the first year after any replacement plantings. (C & M) • Replace dead plants with the same species or a substitute species that meets the goai and objectives of the mitigation plan, subject to Talasaea and agency approval. (C) • Re-plant area after reason for failure has been identified (e.g., moisture regime, poor plant stock, disease, shade/sun conditions, wildlife damage, etc.). (C) • Remove/control weedy or exotic invasive plants (e.g., ScoYs broom, reed canarygrass, Himalayan blackberry, purple loosestrife, etc.) by manual or chemical means approved by the City. Use of herbicides or pesticides within the mitigation area would only be implemented if other measures failed or were considered unlikely to be successful, and would require prior agency approval. Trees and shrubs should be weeded to the dripline and mulched to a depth of three inches. All non-native vegetation must be removed and dumped off-site. (C & M) • Clean-up trash and other debris. (M) • Selectively prune woody plants to meet the mitigation plan's goal and objectives (e.g., thinning and removal of dead or diseased portions of trees/shrubs). (M) • Repair or replace damaged structures including fences, signs, and bird boxes. (M) After consulting with City staff, minor excavations will be made to correct surface drainage pattems. (C) 12.0 PERFORMANCE BOND A performance bond or other surety device will be posted with the City of Everett by the property owner for the replacement of plantings and the iive-year monitoring plan to ensure the success of the mitigation. The amount of the bond will be based on 125% of the cost of the landscape installation and five-years of monitoring. The bonding requirement may be reduced to 25°�� the third year and to 10% the fifth and final year, with release of bonding obligation occurring with the City's approval of the project. Bonding would only be reduced if the standards of success were being met. If success criteria are met before five years, monitoring may be terminated with City approval and the bond would be eliminated. 13.0 SUMMARY A wetiand delineation was conducted on the Augusta Woods project site in December 1997. One wetland (Wetland A) was identified and delineated throughout the west-central portion of the project site. Wetland A would be classified as a Category II wetland under the City's Sensitive Area Ordinance. The proposed project consists of the development of 4fi single family detached condominiums, with an entry road, internal road system, associated parking, and an underground stormwater detention vault. Access to the development will be from 18'h Avenue West. Access tn the eastem porlion of the site will require crossing Wetiand A thereby having a direct impact of 2,007 sf. Mitigation will occur as 6,021 sf of wetland creation (3:'i replacement-to-loss ratio). In addition to this, buffer reduction and averaging will be utilized for the development. 20 May 2003 Talasaea Consuttants, LLC 364C-M�IRpt4(20May03).doc Page70 '�T
