11 <br /> <br />Seed, Seeding and Screening Installation <br />1. This site should not be mowed and/or driven on if very wet soil conditions to avoid <br />rutting and compaction. Construction debris, garbage and building materials will be <br />removed and/or staged outside the intended seeding areas. <br /> <br />2. Disk soil as conditions allow, within the project area in preparation for seeding. Harrow <br />or rake the soil to achieve the proper seedbed. <br /> <br />3. Following disking, the site will be broadcast seeded using the lowland mix throughout <br />most of the site and the upland mix for the drier areas. <br /> <br />4. A cover crop of winter wheat will be seeded along with the other seed if seeding occurs <br />in September through freeze-up. A cover crop of oats would be used for late spring and <br />summer seedings. <br /> <br />5. Harrowing will be completed as site conditions allow, after all planned seed mixes and <br />cover crop seeding is completed. <br /> <br />6. Areas inaccessible to equipment will be hand seeded. <br /> <br />7. Seed tags must be retained and submitted to the local governing unit. <br /> <br />8. Tree screen installation will occur following completed seeding. Trees and shrubs will be <br />watered in at time of installation. Total number of trees and shrubs will be determined <br />after site has been prepared for construction and gaps in visual screening already on <br />site can be determined. The Balsam fir will be 6’ tall B&B and the Red Osier Dogwood <br />will be 4’ tall potted plants, all planted in rows with 16’ spacing on center and watered in <br />during installation. <br /> <br />On the East and West sides of the site, a single row of Red Osier Dogwood will be <br />planted, except where existing vegetation will remain as screening. On the North and <br />South Sides, 2 rows will be planted in a staggered pattern, with one row being Balsam <br />Fir and the other Red Osier Dogwood, with the exception of the wetland areas, where <br />both rows will be Red Osier Dogwood. <br /> <br />9. The watering plan includes additional watering trips once weekly for four trips or as <br />needed based on local conditions. Trees will receive 3-4 gallons of water per trip, <br />utilizing off-site water delivered by truck in a water tank and applied using a water pump <br />and hose with a nozzle.
