NOTES:
1. SEE SHEET 2 FOR PLANTING DETAILS AND PROJECT WORK SEQUENCE.
2. LOCATIONS OF INVASIVE REMOVAL AND PLANTING AREA ARE ESTIMATED ONLY. ADJUST
WORK AREAS BASED ON FIELD CONDITIONS OR AS DIRECTED BY OWNER'S
REPRESENTATIVE.
3. SITE IS LOCATED ON STEEP SLOPE AND HAS LIMITED ACCESS. CONTRACTOR SHALL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLING NECESSARY EROSION CONTROL MEASURES TO ENSURE
SLOPE STABILITY DURING CONSTRUCTION.
4. CONTRACTOR SHALL REMOVE ALL EROSION CONTROL MEASURES UPON FINAL
ACCEPTANCE, AND RESTORE SITE TO PRE -CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS.
NOTES:
1. INSTALL PLANTS AT SPECIFIED DISTANCE ON -CENTER
(O.C.) PER PLANTING SCHEDULE.
2. LOOSEN SIDES AND BOTTOM OF PLANTING PIT AND
REMOVE DEBRIS
3. LOOSEN ROOTBOUND PLANTS BEFORE INSTALLING
4. SOAK PIT BEFORE AND AFTER INSTALLING PLANT
4" MULCH LAYER. HOLD
BACK MULCH FROM STEMS
AMEND NATIVE SOIL WITH ONE

VEGETATION MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING NOTES
SUMMARY
VEGETATION RETENTION AND ENHANCEMENT IS DETAILED ON THIS PLAN SHEET (SHEET 2).
INVASIVE SPECIES IN THE VEGETATION RETENTION AND ENHANCEMENT AREA WILL BE REMOVED
AND REPLACED WITH SITE -APPROPRIATE NATIVE SPECIES. GAPS IN THE VEGETATION
MANAGEMENT AREA WILL BE DENSELY PLANTED AROUND EXISTING NATIVE SHRUBS AND TREES.
ADDITIONAL NATIVE TREES AND SHRUBS WILL BE PLANTED GENERALLY AT AN AVERAGE DENSITY
OF 18-FOOT AND 8-FOOT ON -CENTER, RESPECTIVELY, TO INCREASE DENSITY OF THE EXISTING
NATIVE UNDERSTORYT09AND 4.5FEET ON -CENTER. ENHANCED AREA WILL AMOUNT T020,170
SQUARE FEET. ENHANCEMENT WILL INCREASE BOTH DENSITY AND STRUCTURAL DIVERSITY OF
NATIVE PLANTS IN ALL STRATA.
NO NATIVE VEGETATION WILL BE REMOVED. EXISTING SNAGS AND DOWNED WOOD WILL BE
RETAINED. ALL WORK WILL BE DONE BY HAND (HAND-HELD MACHINERY ONLY) TO MINIMIZE
DISTURBANCE.
THE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT AREA WILL UNDERGO MAINTENANCE TWICE YEARLY OR AS
NEEDED AND BE SUBJECT TO YEARLY MILESTONES TO MONITOR PERFORMANCE. THE SITE WILL
BE MONITORED FOR FIVE YEARS OR UNTIL GOALS ARE ACHIEVED.
RETENTION AND ENHANCEMENT GOALS
1. GENERAL: MORE THAN 30% NATIVE VEGETATION RETENTION WILL BE ACHIEVED ON THE
SITE.
2. REMOVE ANY NON-NATIVE AND INVASIVE SPECIES IN THE VEGETATION RETENTION AND
ENHANCEMENT AREA. IN -FILL PLANT ENTIRE VEGETATION RETENTION AND
ENHANCEMENT AREA WITH NATIVE SHRUBS AND TREES WHERE NEEDED TO BRING SHRUB
AND TREE DENSITY TO 4 AND 9 FEET OC, RESPECTIVELY. DEPOSE OF INVASIVE PLANTS
OFFSITE.
3. MAINTAIN VEGETATION RETENTION AND ENHANCEMENT AREA FREE OF INVASIVE SPECIES
FOR FIVE YEARS.
4. MAINTAIN ALL EXISTING NATIVE PLANTS IN THE VEGETATION RETENTION AND
ENHANCEMENT AREA.
INSTALLATION
1. SITE PREPARATION, INVASIVE PLANT REMOVAL, AND PLANTING WILL BE CONDUCTED
UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL (MITIGATION SPECIALIST, HABITAT
BIOLOGIST, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, OR ARBORIST WITH MITIGATION EXPERIENCE).
2. REFER TO GENERAL WORK SEQUENCE FOR INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS.
MAINTENANCE
1. MAINTENANCE WILL TAKE PLACE TWICE YEARLY (OR AS OFTEN AS NECESSARY), IN SPRING
AND FALL, FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS FOLLOWING INSTALLATION, AND LONGER IF
NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE GOALS.
2. INSTALLED PLANTS WILL BE WATERED BY HAND OR OTHER SEMI -MANUAL IRRIGATION
SYSTEMS AS NECESSARY FOR 2 YEARS FOLLOWING INSTALLATION, OR UNTIL PLANTS ARE
ESTABLISHED.
3. DEAD INSTALLED PLANTS WILL BE REPLACED AS NEEDED DURING FALL MAINTENANCE
VISITS.
4. ALL INVASIVE WOODY PLANTS IN THE PLANTING AREAS WILL BE REMOVED DURING
MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING ALL PART OF THE PLANTS AND ROOT SYSTEM.
S. APPLY WOOD CHIP MULCH RINGS AROUND INSTALLED PLANTS TO MAINTAIN A
THICKNESS OF 4INCHES AND DIAMETER OF 18 INCHES IN AREAS WHERE MULCH IS
NEEDED TO ENCOURAGE PLANT ESTABLISHMENT AND MINIMIZE COMPETING
NON-NATIVE WEEDS.
6. NON-NATIVE WEEDS WILL BE CLEARED FROM THE 18-INCH MULCH RINGS OF ALL
INSTALLED PLANTS.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
THE VEGETATION RETENTION AND ENHANCEMENT AREA WILL BE MEASURED AGAINST THE
FOLLOWING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.
1. SURVIVAL:
a. 90% OF INSTALLED PLANTS WILL BE ALIVE BY THE END OF YEAR 1. PLANTS WILL BE
REPLACED AS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THIS STANDARD.
b. AT LEAST 80%SURVIVAL OF INSTALLED PLANTS WILL BE ACHIEVED IN YEARS 2
THROUGH 5.
2. NATIVE WOODY VEGETATION COVER:
a. 50%COVER OF NATIVE TREES AND SHRUBS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY YEAR 2 WITHIN THE
VEGETATION RETENTION AND ENHANCEMENT AREA. VOLUNTEER PLANTS MAY COUNT
TOWARDS THIS COVER STANDARD.
b. 80%COVER OF NATIVE TREES AND SHRUBS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY THE END OF YEAR 5.
VOLUNTEER PLANTS MAY COUNT TOWARDS THIS COVER STANDARD.
NOTE: THE SITE PRESENTLY MEETS THE NATIVE WOODY VEGETATION COVER STANDARD;
MEASUREMENT OF COVER WILL BE PERFORMED ONLY IF THE STANDARD IN NOT CLEARLY MET,
PER VISUAL ASSESSMENT, IN MONITORING YEARS.
3. NATIVE PLANT DIVERSITY: AT LEAST FIVE NATIVE SHRUB SPECIES WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN
THE VEGETATION AREA BY THE END OF YEAR 5. VOLUNTEER PLANTS MAY COUNT
TOWARDS THIS STANDARD.
4. INVASIVE COVER: NO MORE THAN 10% COVER BY INVASIVE PLANTS WILL BE PRESENT IN
ANY MONITORING YEAR.
MONITORING METHODS
MONITORING WILL BE CONDUCTED YEARLY AFTER FALL MAINTENANCE. A MONITORING
REPORT WILL BE PREPARED AFTER EACH MONITORING VISIT IN YEARS 2, 3, AND 5. A YEAR-4
REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED ONLY IF PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ARE MET IN YEAR 3. YEAR 5
WILL REPRESENT THE FINAL REPORT, PROVIDED PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ARE MET.
REPORTS WILL INCLUDE:
1. COUNTS OF DEAD (INSTALLED) PLANTS;
2. PERCENT SURVIVAL OF INSTALLED PLANTS;
3. PERCENT COVER ESTIMATE, OBTAINED VISUALLY UNLESS SITE COVER DECREASES FROM
PRESENT CONDITIONS;
4. SPECIES COUNT OF INSTALLED PLANTS;
5. A VISUAL ASSESSMENT OF PLANT HEALTH;
6. A VISUAL ESTIMATE OF INVASIVE PLANT COVER;
7. SITE PHOTOS TAKEN AT ESTABLISHED PHOTO POINTS;
8. NOTES ON SITE DISTURBANCE, LITTER, VANDALISM, OR OTHER ACTIONS THAT MAY
IMPAIR HABITAT FUNCTION; AND
9. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND/OR REPLANTING AS NECESSARY TO
ACHIEVE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.
GENERAL WORK SEQUENCE
1. REMOVE ALL PARTS OF INVASIVE PLANTS IN ALL INDICATED AREAS AND DISPOSE
MATERIAL OFF -SITE. HAND-HELD MACHINERY OR GLYPHOSATE BASED HERBICIDE USAGE
ARE LIMITED AND MIGHT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PERMITS TO BE OBTAINED BY THE
CONTRACTOR.
2. INSTALL PLANTS ACCORDING TO THE DENSITY AND TYPICAL PLANTING DETAIL AS SHOWN
ON THIS SHEET DURING FROST -FREE, DORMANT GROWING SEASON (SEPTEMBER
THROUGH MARCH) ONLY.
3. WATER EACH PLANT THOROUGHLY BY HAND/HOSE TO REMOVE AIR POCKETS.
4. INSTALL A4-INCH-THICK LAYER OF COARSE WOOD CHIP MULCH AROUND THE BASE OF
EACH INSTALLED PLANT IN AN 18-INCH-DIAMETER CIRCLE. MULCH SHOULD NOT TOUCH
PLANT STEMS. NOTE: WHERE PRESENT MOISTURE AND WEED CONDITIONS ARE SUCH
THAT MULCH IS NOT NEEDED, MULCH MAY BE EXCLUDED AS LONG AS PERFORMANCE
STANDARDS ARE MET.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
IF PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ARE NOT MET BY THE END OF THE MONITORING PERIOD, A
QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL WILL EVALUATE THE SITE FOR CAUSES OF FAILURE AND MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REMEDIATION. MONITORING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL PERFORMANCE
STANDARDS ARE MET.
NOTES
1. THE VEGETATION RETENTION AND ENHANCEMENT AREA WILL BE PRESERVED FOR THE
LIFE OF THE PROJECT.
2. MINOR SPECIES SUBSTITUTIONS MAY BE MADE IN THE FIELD.
3. ONLY HEALTHY PLANT MATERIALS WILL BE INSTALLED.
4. ACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES WILL BE CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DETAILS OF
THE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PLAN.
