Plants should be obtained from a <br />reputable nursery. All plant materials recommended in this plan are typically available from <br />local and regional sources, depending on seasonal demand. Some limited species <br />substitution may be allowed, only with the agreement of the consulting biologist or city <br />inspector. Care and handling of plant materials is extremely important to the overall <br />success of the project. <br />The plants shall be arranged with the appropriate numbers, sizes, species, and distribution <br />to achieve the required vegetation coverage. The actual placement of individual plants shall <br />mimic natural, asymmetric vegetation patterns found on similar undisturbed sites in the <br />area. <br />Wood chips, or similar approved material, shall be used for mulching. Mulch shall be placed <br />in a two -foot diameter around each planting at a depth of three to four inches. A four -inch <br />diameter ring around the base of each plant shall be kept free of mulch. <br />Lath staking, ribbon flagging, or other suitable material, shall be used to mark each installed <br />plant. <br />PROJECT MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM <br />Requirements for monitoring project: <br />1. Initial compliance report <br />2. Semi-annual site inspections (spring and fall) for five years <br />3.
