Vegetation Management Plan <br /> Spring Hill Golf Club <br /> Revised December 5, 2012 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> Wetland Buffer Maintenance Plan <br /> I. Maintenance <br /> ' A. The adjacent natural wetland is dominated by reed canary grass <br /> and narrow-leaf cattail. The maintenance practices below will give <br /> the native species a good chance to become established but it <br /> cannot prevent invasion by the adjacent non-native species. <br /> B. Year One (first full growing season after construction/planting): <br /> Mow, using a flail type mower, to a height of 5 to 8 inches, just over <br /> ' the height of the emerging native plants before weeds go to seed. <br /> Assume three mowings in the first season during the period of June <br /> - September. Any areas within the wetland or upland buffer that <br /> ' have bare soils may be overseeded with appropriate seed if <br /> deemed appropriate to promote native vegetation establishment. <br /> C. Year Two: Spot mow and spray invasive weed species as <br /> necessary. Any areas within the wetland or upland buffer that have <br /> bare soils may be overseeded with appropriate seed if deemed <br /> appropriate to promote native vegetation establishment. <br /> D. Year Three: Spot mow and spray invasive weed species as <br /> necessary. <br /> E. Year Four: Spot mow and spray invasive weed species as <br /> necessary or conduct prescribed burn if conditions dictate. <br /> F. Year Five: Spot mow and spray invasive weed species as <br /> necessary. <br /> Wetland Buffer Monitoring Plan <br /> ' I. Monitoring and Reporting <br /> A. Annual monitoring will be conducted in accordance with MCWD <br /> rules. Results of monitoring will dictate maintenance activities <br /> which could differ from those specified below depending on <br /> performance of the wetland and upland buffer. Bare soils devoid of <br /> vegetation will be noted during monitoring activities so that <br /> overseeding after the initial seeding can be considered if deemed <br /> appropriate. <br /> B. The applicant will submit an annual Wetland Buffer Inspection <br /> Report by January 1 of each year for five years. The applicant may <br /> submit a written request to cease annual monitoring by year three if <br /> the wetland buffer is well established and approved by MCWD. <br /> C. The annual Wetland Buffer Inspection Report shall include: <br /> L Site Plan showing: location of permitted buffer area, <br /> ' areas of bare soil or erosion, areas of invasive <br /> vegetation, and location and type of any encroachment <br /> on the buffer. <br />
