The site will likely require one to two <br /> mowing events (mid-July and again in early September). Spot herbicide application, or <br /> hand removal, of aggressive weeds such as; purple loosestrife, reed canary grass, and <br /> cattails should also occur when the management crew is at the site to mow. Also, at the <br /> beginning of the maintenance period any shrubs in the mitigation and buffer areas should <br /> be sprayed with an appropriate herbicide. <br /> Mid-July—Mow wetland(where feasible) and wetland buffer at a height of six to <br /> ten inches <br /> Early September—Mow wetland (where feasible) and wetland buffer at a height <br /> of six to ten inches, spot spray invasive species. Buckthorn is best treated with <br /> herbicide in late stunmer through fall when the plants are storing energy. Because <br /> buckthorn looses its leaves later in the season than native woody plants, herbicide <br /> treatment late September through November may also make buckthorn <br /> identification easier. <br /> 2) Year 2 <br /> Conduct an initial site visit in May to evaluate status of mitigation and buffer areas and <br /> determine the appropriate management tasks for the year. These will likely include: <br /> May - Spot spray invasive species. Mow wetland (where feasible) and wetland <br /> buffer at a height of six to ten inches (mowing may not be needed or possible <br /> depending on wetness and condition). Re-seed axeas that do not meet the � <br /> performance standards stated below. <br /> September- Spot spray invasive species. <br /> 3) Year 3 <br /> Conduct an initial site visit in May with to evaluate status of mitigation and wetland <br /> buffer areas and deternune the appropriate management tasks for the year. These will <br /> likely include: May - Spot spray invasive species. Re-seed areas that do not meet the <br /> performance standards stated below. <br /> June/July- Spot spray invasive species. <br /> September- Spot spray invasive species. <br /> 4) Year 4 and beyond <br /> Inspect mitigation and buffer areas annually to assess their condition. <br /> May-September - Apply herbicide to invasive species. This should be required only <br /> once per year. <br />
