adhered to carefully as specified earlier in this Appendix. Also, any mulch used should free of weed seed. <br /> Certified Weed Free Mulch, grain straw, arid wood fiber mulch is acceptable. Under no circumstances <br /> may hay, wild hay, alfalfa, or marsh hay he used as mulch. <br /> VII. Aftercare/Invasive Species Management: It is critical to any buffer restoration project to <br /> provide monitoring and aftercare for several seasons until the late successional wetland species are <br /> established. Aftercare will include spot spraying two times during the first growing season (June, <br /> August), two times during each year(June and late August) for years 2 and 3, and once a year in years 4 <br /> and 5. Target species of the spraying program include, but are not limited to, Canada Thistle, Bull Thistle, <br /> Garlic Mustard, Spotted Knapweed, Purple Loosestrife, Common Buckthorn, and Stinging Nettle. Spot <br /> mowing and inter-seeding will be done as necessary, as determined by monitoring. Common Buckthorn <br /> control methods are attached in the Appendix of this document. <br /> VIII. Pre-Maintenance Meeting: The success of a buffer maintenance plan relies to a large part on the <br /> coordination of the efforts of the owner, the environmental consultant, and the seeding contractor so that <br /> the needs and requirements of each party are realized. Therefore, a pre-maintenance meeting must be held <br /> for the benefit of all parties to allow questions to be fielded and to provide a tentative project schedule. <br /> This plan was prepared by Wayne Jacobson, PSS, WDC on April 30, 2016. <br /> Contact Information: Wayne Jacobson, Certified Wetland Delineator <br /> Jacobson Environmental, PLLC <br /> 5821 Humboldt Avenue North <br /> Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 <br /> Phone: 612-802-6619 <br /> Email:jacobsonenv@msn.com <br /> 3 <br />
