CONTROL OF EXISTING GARLIC MUSTARD <br /> Eradication of garlic mustard is not proposed at this time as it occurs outside the buffer <br /> areas of the wetlands and is very localized in its presence.The areas where garlic mustard <br /> does occur are areas likely to be affected by grading for future lot development. Such <br /> areas are covered with sod or seeded once construction activities have ceased. Purchasers <br /> of the lots should be advised to be on the lookout for the appearance of garlic mustard <br /> and take steps for early eradication. If detected early, garlic mustard is easily controlled <br /> by pulling when the soil is wet such as after a rainfall. Garlic mustard should not be <br /> disposed of in compost piles as it can continue to mature after pulling and still produce <br /> seed. Any garlic mustard collected should be placed in a plastic bag (size determined by <br /> amount of garlic mustard collected and to be disposed of) and allowed to dry. The <br /> unopened plastic bag should then be placed in the trash and disposed of in a covered <br /> landfill. <br /> SPECIES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PLANTING <br /> Attachment A contains the Minnesota state seed mix, Woodland Edge, South and West <br /> (36-211)that SER recommends to be used in the bare areas that will likely be created as a <br /> result of buckthorn removal (Wetland Buffers 1 and 2). See Restoring and Managing <br /> Native Wetland and Upland Vegetation(R Jacobson,2006), for more information on this <br /> seed mix. <br /> Attachment B contains a list of possible species to be added in the buffer management <br /> area that exists within the Northern Wet Meadow/Carr classification according to the <br /> Minnesota DNR Ecological Classification System (Dunevitz and Lane, 2004). This list, <br /> however, is not a seed mix. It only provides examples of species that could be planted <br /> within this type of community. <br /> Attachment C contains a suggested seed mix for the Wetland 1 Buffer which is currently <br /> dominated by reed canary grass. <br /> Attachment D contains a list of seed suppliers as well as native vegetation consultants for <br /> central Minnesota recommended by the Department of Natural Resources. <br /> Attachment E gives a brief description of Common Buckthorn <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 11 1700 Shoreline Drive <br /> Project No.:2015-004 Irwin Jacobs <br />
