The ptoposcd new wcdend atces wiU be cteeced by excsrecing down front die existing contoucs adjeceot to the wetland as shown on the Gtading Plan. The new wetland axeas ate projected to become semipennanendy-Booded and scaaon^-flooded wedand (PUBF/PEMIQ fiiQ|cs of die existing wedand basin, with die benn expected to become tamtated forested (PFOlB) wedand. A combination of native, non-invasire seed and scedlings/phigs will be established along the edges of the new wetland areas. Native, non* invash'e tree species such as American tamarack, northern white cedar, black ash, green ash, or silver maple will be planted on the proposed berm, depending upon availabilin-. The proposed upland buffet areas will be a minimum of 16.5 feet wide along the southern and eastern sides of die wetland, and a minimum of 25 feet wide along the northern edge of the wedand. A native, noo>invashre plant community will be established in the proposed upland buffer areas uamg a mix similar to that included in Anachinent A. The upland buffer area aloQg the ootdiem edge of the wetland will be maintained in the »*«^pg woody vegetatioo, widi the excepdon of invasive species such as common buckthorn, which will be removed. In summat)', die proposed project will partially restore an excavated wetland basin by constiucting an earthen bema, which will be uUd to establish emergent herbaceous and tvoody vegetation. In addition, 2,135 sf of new wetland and 11,787 sf of upland buffer will be created adjacent to the wetland to mitigate the placement of 611 for the construction of the berm. #2985
