i. Assuming that the weather remains typical of a Minnesota fall this project can still be completed in the fall of 2012. However, if extenuating circumstances occur, the project may be delayed into spring of 2013. 4. As an Option, native wildflower and grass plugs will be planted to enhance the diversity and aesthetics of the project. C. Site preparation: 1. Upon approval of this proposal, the western edge (approximately 1'-3') of the wetland buffer will either be mowed or sprayed to prevent any more noxious weeds from going to seed and dropping in the restoration area. 2. Currently, the lawn grass is too short to accept any herbicide. The wetland buffer area will need to be un-mowed for approximately three weeks prior to any herbicide application. 3. This fall, apply Rodeo® and Garton 3A® herbicide as per manufacturer's directions to the actively growing vegetation in the project area. Allow a minimum of 14 days before disturbing the vegetation with other procedures. 4. Re-spray any areas that remain green with Rodeo® and Garton 3A® herbicide as per manufacturer's directions to the actively growing vegetation in the project area. Allow a minimum of 14 days before disturbing the vegetation with other procedures. 5. Burn off the dead vegetation by implementing a controlled burn using appropriate procedures, equipment and permits. 6. Harrow or rake the soil to create a firm, smooth seedbed. D. Seed and Seeding: 1. Seeding dates shall be in the spring or summer before August 10th or in the fall between September 20th and freeze-up. 2. Once the soil has been prepared, the grass seed will be hand broadcast throughout the project area. 3. A raking will follow to incorporate the seed into the soil. 4. Following the raking, flower seed will be hand sown on top of the soil. No additional raking is required. 3
