• • treated with Glyphosate and /or Triclopyr herbicides to control re- sprouting. Cutting will be accomplished with chainsaws and brush cutters (during the third and fourth quarter of the first year, with herbicide treatment occurring immediately following cutting); Year Two (January 1 through December 31) — Outlot D Restoration and Management Tasks • Following resprout, Reed canary grass will be chemically treated with Sethoxydim grass - specific herbicide and/or Glyphosate herbicides in the early spring (late second quarter) or fall (third and fourth quarters) of year two. Monotypes of reed canary grass will be treated with a boom sprayer with Glyphosate herbicide. Small patches of reed canary grass will be chemically treated with Sethoxydim grass - specific herbicides, to minimize impacts to associated native sedges and forbs. Spot treatment of reed canary grass will be accomplished with a backpack sprayer to limit/eliminate overspray; • Re- sprouting cattail monotypes will be chemically treated with Glyphosate in the fall (third or fourth quarters) of year two. • Resprouts of common buckthorn, glossy buckthorn, and Tartarian honeysuckle will be re- cut and the biomass removed from the site. Following re- cutting, stumps will be treated with Glyphosate and/or Triclopyr herbicides to control re- sprouting. Cutting will be accomplished with chainsaws and brush cutters (during the third and fourth quarter of the second year, with herbicide treatment occurring immediately following cutting); • The project ecologist shall monitor the response of invasive and native species to prescribed burning and chemical/herbicide treatments, and assess additional treatment needs for year three (prior to re- seeding with native species mixes). Year Three (January 1 through December 31) — Outlot D Restoration and Management Tasks • Prescribed burn plans will be written and burn permits will be acquired in the first quarter of the third year; • Prescribed burning plan will be implemented for all habitats (29.9 acres) in Outlot D. The prescribed burn will be implemented in the late first quarter, or early second quarter of year three (i.e. March and/or April); • If necessary, resprouts of reed canary grass will be chemically treated with Sethoxydim grass - specific herbicide and/or Glyphosate herbicides in the early spring (late second quarter) or fall (third and fourth quarters) of year three.
