materials or hydromulched with Type 8 Bonded Fiber Matrix to protect the seeded areas during establishment. The seeding process shall be a separate process from any proposed hydromulching operations. From the lake water elevation extending up the slope approximately one foot higher than the water elevation and down along the 10:1 bench down to no more than a 6 inch water depth, native herbaceous plugs will be installed. The native plugs will consist of two zones. The upper zone will supplement the native seeded areas and the lower zone will create an emergent plant zone along the shallow bench, allowing the lake edge area to become vegetated in a timelier manner. This will be important to control erosion along the lake edge where water levels can fluctuate and receive wave action. The plants will also help intake pollutants from the water, such as phosphorous and nitrogen. The planted areas will contain wildlife fencing to protect the seedlings until they become established. The fencing will be of an approved type that will not harm or endanger wildlife. There are some existing trees being removed with the project, and the City will work with the individual property owners for completing any tree replacements acceptable to both the city and property owner. A list of acceptable tree replacements will be provided to the property owners in advance for review and selection. As mentioned previously, the native plants will contain a diverse amount of grass and flower species that have varying flowering times and support a wide range of animal and insect species. Many companies specializing in native restoration will have the appropriate seed mixtures available and these can also be customized. The final plans, construction procedures, and specifications will contain more detailed information and will be provided to the DNR as part of the general permit application. Some potential species for each zone are provided below.
