This was in a woodland fringe of the property and we do irecommend buckthorn <br />control since other species are common in the area. <br />Also, we found the invasive Reed Canarygrass (Phalaris arun6nacea) on the site in both <br />wetlands. We do not recommend control of the Reed Canarygrass since it is very common in <br />wetlands across the metro area, as this would require a special permit as well. <br />There were no other species on the site which are known to be invasive or noxious 'geed <br />species on the bluff area. We do not recommend vegetative alteration of the fringe box elder <br />tree area (other than buckthorn control in Area B) on the west, south, and east adjacent to the; <br />wetlands because the topography is relatively steep and vegetation its established. We only <br />recommend removing any demolition debris and dead trees fronn this area. <br />The files of the report are as follows <br />1. Site Conservation Plan <br />2.
