. <br /> Spring Applecation of Glyphosate: This spri.ng application will kill the grass's <br /> seed bank as it begins to grow. Reed canary grass is one of the first plants to emerge and <br /> one of the last plants to go dormant in the fall thus maldng it an easy target for herbicides. <br /> Spring Seeding: After the glyphosate application has taken place in the spring the <br /> sugges#ed seed mix should be planted (Attachment C). This planting should not take <br /> place until 14 days after the application has taken place. <br /> Year 3 <br /> Verify that the area is still dominated or becoming dominated by native species. <br /> If reed canary grass still persists, another spring application followed by a fall application <br /> may be needed. The early and late glyphosate application can also be effective, providing <br /> 99% control in the first year(Paveglio & Kilbride 1996). <br /> C�NTROL 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 is very lacalized 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 wi�h sod or seedea once coz�struction activities have ceased. Purchasers <br /> of the lots should be advised to be an the lookout far the appearance of garlic mustard <br /> and take steps for eazly eradication. If detecgted early, garlic mustard is easily controlled <br /> by pulling when the soil is wet such as after a rainfall. Garlci mustard should not be <br /> disposed of in compost piles as it can continue to mautre after pulling and still produce <br /> seed. Any garlic mustatd collected should be placed in a plastic bag,(size determined by <br /> amount fo garlic mustard coIlected and to be disposed of} and allowed to dry. The <br /> unopened plastic bag should then be placed in the trash and diposed of in a covered <br /> Iandfill. <br /> SPECIES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PLANTING <br /> Attachment A contains the :Vlinnesota state seed mix, Woodland Edge, South and West <br /> (36-211)that SER recommends to be used in the bare areas that will tikely be created as a <br /> result of buckthorn removal (Wetland Buffers 1 and 2). See Restoring and Managing <br /> Vative Wetland and Upland Vegetation(R. 3acobson, 2006), for more inforxnation on this <br /> seed mix. <br /> � <br /> Attachment B contains a list of possible species to be added in the �uffer management <br /> area that exists within the :Vorthern Wet Meadow/Carr classif catian 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 conta.ins a suggested seed mix for the Wetland 1 Buffer which is currently <br /> dominated by reed canary grass. <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 11 185-225 OId Crystal Bay Road <br /> Project No.:2015-013 Homestead Partrters <br />
