Weed control will be standard for the <br />grasses selected, and coordinated with the County weed and pest control <br />agency. Following roughening of placed plant growth medium, seed shall be <br />broadcast and raked, and in slopes of greater than 3:1, clean straw mulch or <br />hydromulch shall be applied at a rate of 2 tons /acre (100 Ibs /1,000 SF). <br />• (v) No planting of forbs, trees or shrubs is proposed. Areas to be revegetated <br />will be vegetated only with grass; forbs and shrubs will colonize from adjacent <br />undisturbed areas, but trees will not be allowed to establish themselves in <br />ditches, on the roof, or around the house (wildfire protection). <br />P 25 <br />
