progress of all midgation areas, as well as problems and any conecdve measures taken. Monitoring will continue, in accordance with the MDNS, for one year after the criteria for success is met. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The performance standards for the Casper Creek property w�ere created using the requirements in the MDNS and the standards of the previous mitigation plan submittals. Evaluadon of the success of the plantings will be based on expected summer cover percentages, species health, and an 8096 P�cperted survival rate of all species. The final test, for wedand mitigarion and enhancemeni of wedand #2, will be a comparison of diversity, cover and species, between the pristine vegetadon plot and the two midgation monitoring plots. Plan[ C'over Minimums Emergent species: one year 15-309U three years 30-G096 five years 8096 Scrub/shrub species: one year 20-3096 three years 40-504b five years 60-8096. Upland buffer species: one year 10-2096 three years 25-4096 five years 5096 As stated in the MDNS, the species mix should resemble that proposed in the above Planting Plan secdon, but the planting will not be judged a failure as long as the planted azeas are densely vegetated with native, non-invasive species. Evaluaaon of the success of the mitlgation will also be based on species re-colonization of ihe areas of Silver Lake Creek adjacent to midgation areas, bird, small mammal, amphibian and insect divErsity and abundance, as per the MDNS. Standard methods for collecdon of data and its analysis will be used. As suggested in the MDNS, the monitoring subjects to be evaluated in the determination of project success should be similaz to other monitored areas within the Sllver Lake watershed and other adjacent Palustrine scrub/shrub wedand ecosystems. 9
