Appendix A <br /> Buffer Establishment and Management Plan <br /> For 3245 Wayzata Boulevard West <br /> Orono, MN <br /> April 30, 2016 <br /> I. Overview: This project is for the establishment of several bluff buffer areas and for Area A, Area B. <br /> and Area C as shown in the attached plan to effectively buffer adjacent wetlands as shown on the attached <br /> Figure 7 Site Detail Conservation Plan and the Figure 8 Top of Bluff Buffer plan. The maintained buffers <br /> will depend primarily upon surface water from adjacent land to maintain the necessary hydrology. <br /> II. General Project Goals: The primary goal of this project is to maintain buffer areas that will preserve <br /> arid enhance the functions and values of the current buffer. An ongoing buffer maintenance plan will be <br /> employed in this case. There may be some variation from these guidelines where timing and site <br /> conditions warrant modification. Five years of aftercare are planned to control invasive species such as <br /> canada thistle, stinging nettle, garlic mustard, bull thistle, purple loosestrife, common buckthorn, and <br /> spotted knapweed in the buffer or managed areas. <br /> III. Specific Buffer Type Goals: The goal of this project is to maintain or establish the following: <br /> - Grassed bluff buffers as shown on the attached Figure 8 from the 986 contour or the black line <br /> to the tree line which is to the west, south, or east of the black line to the tree edge which is <br /> principally box elder(Acer negundo). <br /> - Common Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) of over 1" dhh cut off at the ground in Area B as <br /> shown in Figure 7 and stumps sprayed with glysophosphate as recommended in the Appendix. <br /> - A native grass buffer established in Area C on Figure 7. <br /> Below is a summary of the specific areas of buffer maintenance as shown on the Centum- Farm Vv'MC <br /> Declaration Plan: <br /> Buffer Size Size <br /> Area (ft.2) (acres) Buffer Type <br /> Bluff TBD TBD Preserved Grassed Buffer of 30 - 50 feet on the south <br /> B TBD TBD Preserved Wooded Buffer, Buckthorn Controlled <br /> C TBD TBD Preserved Grassed Buffer <br /> Total = TBD TBD <br /> IV. Planting Considerations if areas are disturbed and not just maintained: <br /> Prior to establishing the contours on the buffer areas careful removal and sorting of the sod and native <br /> soils must take place to minimize contamination by seed and roots of invasive species. <br /> 1 <br />
