All <br /> ' buffer areas currently have approximately 5%reed canary grass. The north and south buffer <br /> was to be left as preserved woods,however it does not appear the buckthorn was removed <br /> from those areas as proposed. The understory of the berm area is dominated by reed canary <br /> ' grass that should be controlled. Otherwise the buffer appeared seeded as several desirable <br /> species were becoming established. <br /> ' The observed plant species are as follows: <br /> ' Verbena hastata 20 Conyza canadensis 5 <br /> Poa pratensis 15 Rudbeckia hirta trace <br /> Pilea pumila 10 Carex vulpinoidea trace <br /> ' Phalaris arundinacea 10 Spartina pectinata trace <br /> Urtica dioica 10 Aster sp. trace <br /> Lolium perenne 10 Potentilla sp trace <br /> ' Cirsium canadensis 10 Lythrum salicaria trace <br /> Epilobium sp. 5 Solidago rigida trace <br /> Eupatorium perfoliatum 5 <br /> ' Pycanthemum incanum 5 <br /> ' V.
