CONTROL OF EXI5TING GARLIC MUSTARD <br /> Eradication of garlic mustard is not proposed at this time ss it occurs outside the buffer <br /> areas of the wetlands and is very localized in its presence.The areas where garlic mustard <br /> dces 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. Purchas�rs <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 shouid not be <br /> disposed af in compost piles as it can continue to mature a,fter 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 plasfiic bag should then be placed izi the trash and disposed of in a coverad <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 recammends to be used in the bare areas that will likely be created as a <br /> result of buckthom removal (Wetland Buffers 1 and 2). See Restoring and �Vlanaging <br /> '_�Tative 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 clsssification according to the <br /> Viinnesota DNR Ecolagical Classification System (Duneviiz and Lane, 2004}. This list, <br /> �owever, is not a seed mix. It only pmvides 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 Utinnesota recommended by the Department of Natural Resources. <br /> Attachment E gives a brief descriiption of Common Buckthorn <br /> Svoboda F_cological Resonrces 11 1700 Shorcline Drive <br /> Proj ect No.:2015-004 Irwin 3acobs <br />
