a !� <br />4. Periodic harvesting of aquatic macrophytes to reduce <br />biomass and nutrient cycling within the wetland basin. <br />5. Augmentation of the wetland's water supply with pumped <br />groundwater to dilute pollutant concentrations. <br />6. chemical treatment of nutrient pollutants to remove them <br />ifoa the water column and bind them to bottom sediments. <br />7. Enhancement of the vegetated buffer strip around the <br />wetland to reduce overland introduction of nutrient <br />pollution. <br />Recommendations on water quality measures will be <br />developed based on projected water quality and on the City'u <br />selected management goals with respect to fisheries and <br />wildlife. An ongoing water quality =onitoring program may <br />be recovmended to track future water quality changes and <br />provide warning of impending problems. <br />T.sk_3. Wildlife Habitat Analy�ie <br />In order to estimate the present habitat value of <br />Wetland 893 and its environs, the vegetation in and around <br />the wetland will be surveyed and mapped. Wildlife use in <br />the area will be monitored during ell field operations and a <br />profile of the wetland's wildlife use will be developed. <br />Measures to improve wildlife habitat value are subject <br />to the following constraints: <br />1. Land ownership and control. <br />2. Any City ordinances governing the mowing of vegetation. <br />3. Measures und_rtaken to create a viable fishery. <br />4. The potential for adverse human -wildlife interaction <br />Within the limits posed by the above contraints, <br />recommendations for rildlife hohit.at improvements will be <br />developed. It is anticipated that these recommendations <br />will be largely related to improvement of the existing <br />vegetative buffer around the wetland, placement <br />artificial nesting structures, and measures to deter ' <br />undesirable or problem wildlife species from becoming <br />established. <br />
