POST-RESTORATION MANAGEMENT <br />"fhe primary management practice [o be followed after hydroseeding and manual transplanting of trees and <br />shrubs will be yearly monitoring for success of the reclamation effort. This will entail observing the stability <br />of all backfilled and sloped areas and the sustained growth of grasses, shrubs and trees. Experience has shown <br />ghat it takes a minimum of three years to get native grasses permanently established. However, once <br />established, a varied and successful native grass mixture will result. During this period, occasional selective <br />herbicide treatment may be necessary where pockets of noxious or undesirable weeds have established <br />themselves. Past experience has shown that if dense pockets of weeds are controlled, native grasses easily out <br />compete weeds if, in the first few years, the grasses are allowed to establish themselves. <br />In order to achieve a natural, premising density of shrubs and trees, they will be replaced where and when <br />necessary. Shrubs and trees will be planted where they would be naturally found in this area. For example, <br />Douglas Firs will only be planted in the upper areas of the north-facing slopes of the reclaimed areas after final <br />mining. <br />Areas reclaimed in the North Quatry area have shown successful regenerative and sustained growth of all <br />grasses, shrubs and trees that have been planted. Some trees and shrubs have been replaced, but, in general, <br />reclamation has been very successful and will establish a viable wildlife habitat in areas surrounding the <br />proposed water resource storage reservoirs. <br />The reservoirs, surrounding maintenance roads and related raw water supply infrastructure have not yet <br />undergone final design. Elements of the ultimate raw water storage/delivery system will be maintained by the <br />Town of Morrison with CAMAS, and potentially with others, as partners per the Annexation Agreement and <br />future water storage contracts that may be negotiated by Morrison and/or CAMAS. <br />G:NROIECrS~]Oi0P00TTEX"MMFNnOS.T%T V ' 6 <br />
