411 Year Two (January 1 through December 31, 2007) — Outlots B and C • Restoration and Management Tasks • Cattail monotypes will be chemically treated with Glyphosate and or Sethoxydim in the spring and /or fall; • Reed canary grass will be chemically treated with Sethoxydim grass - specific herbicide and/or Glyphosate herbicides in the spring and /or fall (second, third, and fourth quarters), so that the herbicide is translocated into the root systems of reed canary grass. Monotypes of reed canary grass will be treated with a boom sprayer. 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; • Prescribed burn plans will be written and burn permits will be acquired in the first quarter of the second year; • Prescribed burning plan will be implemented within 11.9 acres of the conservation areas (outlots B and C) in the early second quarter of year two (i.e. April and May), or the fourth quarter of year two (i.e. October and November) if conditions in the spring are not suitable to implement the prescribed burn; • 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); • Residential rainwater gardens will be seeded and/or planted with appropriate native species in the second and third quarters of the second year, following construction of the rainwater gardens; • Existing degraded native communities will be seeded with appropriate native seed mix during the third and fourth quarters of the year two; • The 1.0 acre wetland mitigation area will be monitored during second and third quarters of the year; • Reseeded degraded native communities will be monitored during the second through fourth quarters of the second year; • Known locations of endangered plant populations will be monitored during the second and third quarters of second year; • Conservation area boundary markers and interpretive signage will be installed during the second or third quarter of the second year; • A wetland mitigation monitoring report will be completed during the fourth quarter of the second year, and; • A qualified ecologist shall monitor grading and construction activities to ensure compliance with the stewardship plan during site development (all quarters, year two).
