Wildlife Habitat <br />The subject wetlands and streams provide moderate potential for wildlife habitat. Species <br />such as passerine birds, small to large mammals, and amphibians are expected to utilize <br />these wetlands. The forested and scrub -shrub components serve an important role as <br />wildlife corridors between the surrounding habitats. Additionally, the large, contiguous, <br />forested corridors connecting the subject wetlands to other large forested upland areas <br />provides good movement and foraging habitat for birds and mammals. This function is <br />somewhat limited due to the monoclonal sera[ community present on site. <br />BUFFER MITIGATION PLAN <br />The proposed temporary buffer impacts (7,913 square feet) associated with Wetlands A and <br />C for the proposed conveyance pipe will be restored by planting native shrubs. Planting <br />holes will be oversized and backfilled with organic topsoil to provide an appropriate medium <br />for the establishment of the plants. The area will be planted with the following list of native <br />plants. <br />Common Name <br />Latin Name <br />Size <br />Spacing <br />Quantity <br />1.

Fertilizer shall only be used when absolutely necessary <br />due to potential runoff into sensitive stream and wetland systems. If deemed absolutely <br />necessary by the consulting biologist and/or the City, a fertilizer such as 16-16-16 shall be <br />applied at 100 pounds per acre. <br />Common Name Latin Name lbs./1 000 s f <br />Colonial bentgrass Agrostis tenuis 0.6 <br />Annual ryegrass Lolium multiflorum 0.3 <br />White clover Trifolium repens 0.2 <br />BIRD BOXES <br />Five bird boxes will be placed within the buffer near the proposed access road and along the <br />outside edges of the temporary impact area. These boxes will provide additional habitat <br />features for nesting birds within the buffer. This measure will help to increase the habitat <br />value of the buffers. <br />Critical Area Study and Buffer Mitigation Plan 11 WRI# 09084 <br />Intermec- Lot 2 Revision#2: March 22. 2010 <br />
