The tree and shrub count is detailed on Table 2 and includes 2 upland trees, 208 upland <br /> shrubs, 20 riparian trees, 120 riparian shrubs and 150 willow stakes. <br /> ' The trees and shrubs were provided by Conservation Seeding and Restoration Inc. ("CSR") and <br /> ' were installed by a CSR team with oversight from IRIS. IRIS field staked the locations where all <br /> trees and shrubs were planted in the upland, riparian and wetland mitigation areas along the <br /> ' Creek. It took approximately one week for CSR to install, mulch, and water all species with IRIS <br /> oversight. As it was a wet spring through mid-June 2013 no supplemental watering of the <br /> 1 installed species was required. However, due to the dry summer and fall months that resulted <br /> ' in the Creek running dry such that no available irrigation water was available, IRIS completed <br /> hand watering of all establishing planted trees and shrubs every week or two as required. A <br /> ' 2,000 gallon plastic water tank and associated pump was installed on a trailer and was pulled to <br /> all mitigation areas for use as a water source such that the plants were then watered by hose <br /> from this tank. Hand watering of all establishing mitigation areas continued through late August <br /> Schwartmalder Mine Phase 1 -2013 Mitigation Monitoring Report Page 3 <br /> May 31,2014 <br />
