Wl • CNcago. tt. <br />Mraballa: arww tjormalrna corn <br />Subject: Review of Restoration Plan for 2618 Casco Point Road <br />I have reviewed Ihe Restoration Plan for 2618 Casco PoiiU Road, and have Uic following <br />comments: <br />The species selection for plantings and seed mix arc OK. <br />The plan docs not indicate the source for the “native seed mix". 'I he source and locution <br />should be specified, to ensure that seed hardy to our area is selected and planted. Seed <br />should have been grown within 200 miles of Ihe Twin Citie.s, and preferably within 50 <br />miles. <br />Maintenance of the native seeding is critical to success, and ensuring that the seeded <br />area docs not become a weed patch. The MnDOT Seeding Mumial 2(M)3 provides a good <br />schedule for maintenance of areas that are seednl with native mixes. The City should <br />require a maintenance plan for the seeding from the landowner, and require that the <br />owner or his/lier contractor provide this maintenance. I have attached the pages from the <br />MnDO r Manual for reference. <br />Tree planting should include protection from deer and beavers (see note on plan that <br />indicates that beavers arc at work in Ihe area). <br />A cover crop is a good idea for native seeding. The MnDO f Manual also de.scribes <br />appropriate cover crops to he included in native seed mixes, depending on the season tliat <br />the seed is applied. <br />Sceiling and planting procedures should generally follow the MnDOT standards, <br />including removal of any noxious weeds before seeding or planting. <br />2335 IVosf Highway 36 * St Paul, MN 55113 • 6S1-636-4600 * Fax: 651-636-1311
