Mounds View Silver View Park Pond <br /> 4.1.5 NATIVE PLUG PLANTING <br /> Native plug planting can supplement seeding in select areas. Plugs are sometimes available for species <br /> that are not otherwise available as seed. Shoreline areas that need quicker vegetation cover should be <br /> considered for plugs. Watering should be planned as a contingency if sufficient rainfall is lacking during <br /> the first growing season. Plug planting should be done in late spring or in the fall. <br /> 4.2 Cost Estimates <br /> The following cost estimates are based on typical best management practices for conducting the activities <br /> described above, including site preparation (if needed), follow-up treatments, and grow-in maintenance. <br /> Cost estimates for activities that should be planned for at least 3 years of initial restoration include the <br /> costs for implementing 3 years of treatments. Additional costs related to potential erosion control <br /> materials and installation,tree inventory/marking, and native plug, shrub, or tree plantings are not <br /> included. <br /> Table 3 Vegetation Restoration Cost Estimates <br /> Activity Approximate Acres Subtotal <br /> Cost($)/Acre Cost($) <br /> Tree removal (lump sum); within woodland, lowland $13,500 4.8 $13,500 <br /> hardwoods cover types <br /> Invasive shrub control (3 years); woodland, lowland $7,500 10.3 $77,250 <br /> hardwoods, wet meadow/carr, hardwood swamp <br /> Herbaceous invasive spot treatments (3 years) $4,500 10.3 $46,350 <br /> Native seeding—woodland, lowland hardwoods, wet $2,800 10.3 $28,840 <br /> meadow/carr, hardwood swamp; includes seed and <br /> seeding 2 times <br /> Native seeding—lawn to natives, small stormwater $4,500 2.4 $10,800 <br /> pond buffer(3 years); includes site preparation, seed <br /> mix, seeding, and grow-in maintenance <br /> Total 12.7 $176,740 <br /> 5 Vegetation Maintenance <br /> Annual maintenance of vegetation in the project area should be anticipated to include monitoring 2-3 <br /> times per year for weed control needs, tree pruning or removal needs, and monitoring for pond buffer <br /> functionality.
