All disturbed or constructed wetland areas will be restored using City - approved mitigated vegetation which is consistent with surrounding wetland vegetation. All other areas will be seeded immediately after pond construction with a mixture containing fast germinating seed mixture and permanent grasses. Areas may be sodded instead of seeded. Below Normal Water Elevation Restoration below the normal water elevation will be done if groundwater does not maintain the normal water level. When restoration is required, all areas of the 10:1 shelf above the groundwater and below normal elevation will---be .restored with annual fast - germinating seed (i.e., _annual rye -oats -barle pond may need to be pumped down to do the restoration.
