• • • Common buckthorn will be cut and the biomass removed from the site. Following cutting, stumps will be treated with Glyphosate to control re- sprouting. Cutting will be accomplished with chainsaws and brush cutters (during the first and second quarters of the year; • Quaking aspen along wetland /forest transitions will be thinned and managed during the first and second quarters of the year; • Quaking aspen resprouts will be treated in the first and fourth quarters of the year; • Prescribed burn plans will be written and burn permits will be acquired in the first quarter of the year; • Prescribed burning plan will be implemented in the early second quarter of year two (i.e. April and May); • The wetland mitigation and infiltration areas will be seeded in the fourth quarter of the year; • Residential rainwater gardens will be seeded in the second and third quarters of the year; • Existing degraded native communities will be seeded with appropriate native seed mix during the second and third quarters of the year; • Wetland mitigation areas will be monitored during second through fourth quarters of the year; • Reseeded degraded native communities will be monitored during the second through fourth quarters of the year; • Known locations of endangered plant populations will be monitored during the second and third quarters of the year; • Conservation area boundary markers and interpretive signage will be installed during the second or third quarter of the year; and • A wetland mitigation monitoring report will be completed during the fourth quarter of the year. Year Three (January 1 through December 31, 2008) Restoration and Management Tasks • Reed canary grass will be chemically treated with Glyphosate in the fall (third quarter and fourth), so that the herbicide is translocated into the root systems. 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 grasses and forbs. Spot treatment of reed canary grass will be accomplished with a backpack sprayer to limit /eliminate overspray; • Cattail monotypes will be mowed and de- thatched in the first quarter of year two (during frozen conditions) and chemically treated with Glyphosate in the spring and /or fall. Cattail biomass will be removed from the site and composted and /or burned; • Common buckthorn will be cut and the biomass removed from the site.
