Scraping and vegetation removal will be completed in spring, 2000. Revegetation will be <br />completed in June, 2000. Management activities associated with the plant community <br />establishment will be completed by October, 2003. <br />Long -term viability of this restoration is good with low maintenance requirements. <br />E. Wetland Reconstruction/Restoration <br />Wetlands C, D, and F have been extensively disturbed by past excavation activities. <br />Current conditions include marginal wetland hydrology and low diversity wetland plant <br />• communities. <br />Proposed activities would attempt to restore and supplement wetland hydrology, remove <br />reed canary grass, consolidate wetlands, and remove trash, to provide functionally <br />superior„ aesthetically attractive wetland areas. These activities would include <br />excavation, spoil removal, grading, and reseeding with a wet meadow mixture. <br />The estimated cost to complete the reconstruction and restoration of this 1.5 -acre area <br />would be. approximately $20,000. <br />Grading is proposed to occur in April, 2000. Revegetation will be completed in June <br />2000. Management activities associated with the plant community establishment will be <br />completed by October, 2003. <br />The long -term viability of this restoration is good, with low maintenance requirements. <br />Total cost of all proposed activities in items A through E would be expected to range <br />from $59,000 to $77,500. <br />F. Other Items <br />I : The feasibility of providing a buffer and filter strip to protect wetland area B5 should <br />be examined. The wetland is outside of the green way areas. <br />2. An evaluation of hydrological restoration opportunities of wetlands partially within <br />property boundaries should be completed. As adjacent parcels develop in the future. <br />potential may exist for larger wetlands along the property boundaries to be restored. <br />This applies to larger wetlands along the western and southern property boundaries. <br />3. An informational/educational pamphlet should be prepared to distribute to <br />landowners adjacent to the green way areas. The pamphlet should include <br />information on the ecological values of the area, management efforts, and rules <br />regarding mowing, dumping, planting, etc. within the. area. <br />• <br />
