Maintenance Plan Preparation: <br /> Once planting is complete, the restoration site will require maintenance to ensure tle <br /> successful establishment of plant matnial. Therefore, a maintenance plan will be <br /> developed that outlines the protocols fcr maintaining the site. The Maintenance Plan will <br /> outline procedures for weed infestaticn control. watering, pruning of shrub material. and <br /> replacement of dead plants. <br /> 2. Maintenance Implementation: <br /> The physical act of site maintenance may include weed infestation control,watering, and <br /> pruning of shrub material.Plant mateiiid that des as a result of snow rot,desiccation, <br /> drought or other acts of nature will also need to be replaced. Plant replacement assumes <br /> that 15%of planted vegetation will die in the first year,5% will die in the second year. <br /> and 1 % will die in the third year.The cost associated with plant replacement(labor and <br /> material)is included herein,and will Ix refined at the end of each growing season. <br /> Task 4- Monitoring Plan and Site Monitoring <br /> 1. Monitoring Plan: <br /> Over a 3-year period the site will be monitored for success/failure. A plan outlining data <br /> gathering and the protocol for monitoring the site will be developed. <br /> 2. Site Monitoring: <br /> Site monitoring and data gathering will provide valuable inf:)rmadan on high altitude <br /> wetland habitat establishment following restoration initiatives.This data will also be used <br /> to establish maintenance requirements. This task assumes that site monitoring visits will <br /> take place twice a year(i.e. mid-summa-and fall)each year for three years by a <br /> Professional Wetland Scientist. Followi ig each monitoring reason a report will be <br /> developed documenting and discussing; :he conditions of the site. <br /> Phase t - Cost Estimate <br /> Task 1 S 27,674.00 <br /> Task 2 $ 15,841.00 <br /> Task 3 $ 25,547.00 <br /> Phase 1 Total S 69.062.00 <br />
