Adding 1" of black dirt prior to seeding will be fine. You can add more black <br /> dirt/topsoil in the areas outside of the wetland boundary if desired to promote healthy growth, but <br /> please limit it to 1" within the delineated wetland. I also wanted to confirm what seed mixes you will be <br /> using within the wetland. You had last indicated the following: <br /> "To prevent the buckthorn and other invasive weeds from taking over, I was looking at planting a meadow <br /> mix from Prairie Moon for the area that is wet (�500 sq. feet). For the rest of the area (�1500 sq ft) I was <br /> considering planting grass (mix of Kentucky Blue & Rye grass). I also was considering planting a few water- <br /> loving trees (Cedar and Silver Maple) in the area. Are there issues with planting trees?" <br /> I had confirmed with you that this planting plan was acceptable, is this still what you had in mind? The straw <br /> maUequivalent is a definitely a good idea to help the seed establish. The perimeter will need to stay in place <br /> until the area has adequate vegetative cover. Please do not remove it until we have given you the OK (give us <br /> a call or e-mail when you think the coverage is adequate for it to be removed). I'll have an inspector get out <br /> there soon to have a look. <br /> Your follow-up is much appreciated. I'll be in touch. <br /> Catherine Bach <br /> District Technician <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br /> 18202 Minnetonka Boulevard <br /> Deephaven, MN 55391 <br /> Direct: (952) 641-4504 <br /> Main Office: (952) 471-0590 <br /> Fax: 952-471-0682 <br /> www.minnehahacreek.orq <br /> 2 <br />
