Project Overview: <br /> 1. The intention of this project is to establish native raingarden and adjacent wetland <br /> buffer vegetation. Based on the existing conditions and project timeline, it is likely <br /> that the raingarden will be installed this fall and the buffer areas will be installed next <br /> spring. <br /> 2. Following a base seeding, the raingarden will be enhanced with live plants in order to <br /> provide diversity, establish shade tolerant plants, and promote quicker establishment. <br /> 3. Part of the wetland buffer is currently covered with bark mulch and is dominated by <br /> spruce trees. In this area, we are recommending the installation of live plants as <br /> space allows. Likely species would include bottlebrush grass, ostrich fern and <br /> cinnamon fern. <br /> C. Site preparation: <br /> 1. All raingarden construction and related excavation/grading will be done by the <br /> excavator. <br /> 2 <br />
