The plan <br />and its implementation will follow the current version of Minnesota Board of Water & Soil Resources Native Vegetation <br />Establishment and Enhancement Guidelines (https://bwsr.state.mn.us/sites/default/files/2019- <br />07/Updated%20guidelines%20Final%2007-01-19.pdf January 2019 version). <br /> <br />2.4 RESTORATION EVALUATION <br />GRG must provide an initial restoration evaluation to LCCMR at the completion of the appropriation and an evaluation <br />three years beyond the completion of the expenditure. Restorations must be evaluated relative to the stated goals and <br />standards in the restoration plan, current science, and, when applicable, the Minnesota Board of Water & Soil Resources <br />Native Vegetation Establishment and Enhancement Guidelines. The evaluation shall determine whether the restorations <br />are meeting planned goals, identify any problems with the implementation of the restorations, and, if necessary, give <br />recommendations on improving restorations. The evaluation shall be focused on improving future restorations. <br /> <br />2.5 LONG TERM RESTORATION <br />The Landowner acknowledges the long term maintenance and enhancement needs of the restoration process to achieve <br />restoration goals. The Landowner agrees to maintain restoration for a minimum of 10 years. The Recipient agrees to make <br />reasonable good faith effort to significantly contribute to the successful maintenance of the project. <br /> <br />If the Landowner(s) should fail to maintain the habitat restoration for 10 years, then the Landowner(s) agrees to reimburse <br />the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for the pro-rated costs of all habitat restoration projects <br />placed on the described land through this Agreement. <br /> <br />2.6 PROTECTED LAND <br />Landowner testifies that the restoration project is on land permanently protected by a conservation easement or public <br />ownership or in public waters as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.005, subdivision 15; and will provide <br />reasonable written doc umentation of such protection. <br /> <br />2.7 CONTRACTING <br />Landowner understands that GRG must give consideration to Conservation Corps Minnesota and Iowa or its successor for <br />sub-contract restoration and enhancement services. <br /> <br />2.8 RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT GUIDELINES <br />Recipient and Landowner practices shall comply in every respect with: <br /> <br />DNR Pollinator Best Management Practices and Habitat Restoration Guidelines <br />(http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/natural_resources/npc/2014_draft_pollinator_bmp_guidelines.pdf ); and <br /> <br />Minnesota Board of Water & Soil Resources’ Native Vegetation Establishment and Enhancement Guidelines <br />(https://bwsr.state.mn.us/sites/default/files/2019-07/Updated%20guidelines%20Final%2007-01-19.pdf January 2019 <br />version) <br /> <br />MN-DNR Operational Order #113 Invasive Species <br />(http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/assistance/grants/habitat/heritage/oporder_113.pdf ) <br /> <br />MN-DNR Operational Order #59 Pesticide and Pest Control <br />(http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/assistance/grants/habitat/heritage/oporder_59.pdf ); <br /> <br />MN-DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife Pest and Pest Control Guidelines <br />(http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/assistance/grants/habitat/heritage/faw_pest.pdf ); <br /> <br />These guidelines apply to planning and implementation.
