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 />We need to get estimate cost for total projects in order to the Council <br />Table 3 Vegetation Restoration Cost Estimates <br />Activity <br />Approximate <br />Acres <br />Subtotal <br />Cost $ /Acre <br />Cost $ <br />Tree removal (lump sum); within woodland, lowland <br />$13,500 <br />4.8 <br />$13,500 <br />hardwoods cover types <br />Invasive shrub control (3 years); woodland, lowland <br />$7,500 <br />10.3 <br />$77,250 <br />hardwoods, wet meadow/carr, hardwood swam <br />Herbaceous invasive spot treatments 3 ears <br />$4,500 <br />10.3 <br />$46,350 <br />Native seeding —woodland, lowland hardwoods, wet <br />$2,800 <br />10.3 <br />$28,840 <br />meadow/carr, hardwood swamp; includes seed and <br />seeding 2 times <br />Native seeding —lawn to natives, small stormwater <br />$4,500 <br />2.4 <br />$10,800 <br />pond buffer (3 years); includes site preparation, seed <br />mix, seeding, and row -in maintenance <br />Total <br />12.7 <br />$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.
