The purpose of the plan is to fulfill conditional approval of temporary impacts to wetlands habitats within Agua Hedionda Creek resulting from implementation of the North Agua Hedionda Sewer Interceptor Rehabilitation -Eastern Segment Project. In order to reduce the potential loss of wetlands functions and values as a result of the project, this program is based on a condition to provide enhancement of wetland habitat at 2:l ratio within the Agua Hedionda Creek watershed. This equates to 0.14 acre of required wetlands revegetation. A combination of physical removal and herbicide treatment will be required to control exotic plant species in the project area. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION This revegetation project consists of site preparation including exotics removal over the entire project site and site revegetation and maintenance and monitoring for a one-year period. The proposed revegetation strategy consists of the enhancement of 0.14 acre of disturbed southern willow scrub. The disturbed southern willow scrub will be enhanced in areas invaded by non- native/exotic species within Agua Hedionda Creek. The southern willow scrub enhancement will occur along the banks of Hedionda Creek and will focus on the removal and control of pampas grass and other invasive species as well as replanting with native southern willow scrub species. The revegetation areas have been designed to include a diverse assemblage of plant species typical of southern willow scrub communities in southern California. The revegetation program will help to expand upon an existing, riparian system and will help decrease weed cover and future re-invasion within the enhanced wetlands habitat as well as within the existing wetlands habitat. 3.1 PROJECT LOCATION The project is located along the Agua Hedionda Creek, as shown on the location map, see Appendix No 1. The site will be delineated for the contractor prior to commencement of work and as needed during the project's implementation. 4.0 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE WEED CONTROL PROGRAM All applicable laws, regulations, safety precautions, and label directions will be followed when performing weed control. The contractor shall provide a licensed Pest Control Advisor (PCA) with a Qualified Applicators License including licenses to apply pesticides under aquatics and right-of-way classifications. Copies of licenses and certificates shall be provided to the City prior to start of work and shall remain in the project file. The PCA will supply herbicide recommendations for use as needed to the City's Biological Monitor/Habitat Restoration Specialist. 4 No herbicides will be applied to any open water areas. The above-described herbicides could change as new formulations become available that are applicable to the species we are treating. Updates to herbicide formulations shall be presented to the City in written form and kept in the project file. revegetation effort Year 1 monitoring Final sign-off To conform to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Dudek and Associates will perform nesting bird surveys prior to any exotics removal or control and follow-up herbicide treatments that may be required by Nature's Image between February 1 5th and September 1 st. 5.0 RARE OR ENDANGERED SPECIES construction and 1 20-day maintenance period Winter, Summer, Spring, and Fall of Year 1 following completion of installation phase Winter of Year 1 In this area, southern willow scrub, whether degraded or not, has the potential to support nesting sites for least Bell's vireo. Therefore, the revegetation site is assumed to be occupied habitat and all activities (installation, maintenance, etc.) will be conducted outside the vireo breeding season (April 15-September 30, annually). No other rare or endangered species are known or expected to occur within the revegetation site. 6.0 IMPLEMENTATION OF PLAN The following plan describes the necessary implementation measures for enhancing the intended habitats and implementing the intended revegetation program. 6.1 Schedule Implementation of the program is proposed to begin in Fall 2004, as shown on Table 1. Deviation from the following schedule must be submitted the City and approved by the Biological MonitodHabitat Restoration Specialist prior to implementation. TABLE 1 PROPOSED REVEGETATION PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE 6.2 Site Preparation The initial site preparation effort necessary to prepare the revegetation areas for the revegetation effort will include the removal of all non-native weeds and exotic species from the enhancement area including, but not limited to, pampas grass, and other invasive exotics from the limits of the revegetation areas. Where pampas grass plants cannot be completely removed, including rootballs, by mechanical means, the pampas grass clumps shall be cut to two inches above grade by hand and immediately treated with an acceptable herbicide as specified by a Licensed Pest Control Advisor. All other exotic/invasive and weed species as identified in Sections 6.4 and as tagged by the Biological Monitor/Habitat Restoration Specialist, shall be cut down and removed from the site. Remaining trunks shall be treated with a stump killer and periodically treated with a herbicide as necessary to help control re-sprouts. 6.3 Final LandscapelReveqetation Plan 5 Implementation of the revegetation program must be coordinated among the applicant, Biological Monitor/Habitat Restoration Specialist, landscape contractor and plant material supplier. In lieu of providing a final set of landscape construction documents, installation of the revegetation site will be monitored by the Biological MonitodHabitat Restoration Specialist. The contracting nursery and seed collectors should be given the maximum possible lead (i,e,, no less than nine months prior to the actual planting installation) to complete special collections/propagation and prepare plant material for the project in order to assure availability and minimize cost. Field coordination shall be provided by the Biological MonitodHabitat Restoration Specialist for construction of the revegetation areas. Species to be planted from containers in the revegetation areas are shown in the attached plant palette (Table 7), which includes the proposed plant species for the proposed project. The conceptual planting plan is graphically depicted in Figure 4. Plant material for the revegetation effort will also include seed applications as shown on the hydroseed mix legend (Table 7). Few nurseries have experience dealing with native plants, specifically for habitat revegetation purposes, especially those species not used for ornamental purposes. An experienced native plant nursery such as Tree of Life Nursery in San Juan Capistrano, Mockingbird Nursery in Riverside, or an approved equal, should be contracted to collect propagules and supply the necessary container grown plant material. A deposit will be required to initiate the contract growing agreement The Applicant should initiate the contract growing agreement if the landscape contractor will not have sufficient time in hidher contract. A seed supplier specializing in native species, such as S&S Seeds in Carpenteria, or an approved equal, should be contracted with to supply the necessary seed. Appropriate timing of planting may decrease or eliminate the need for supplemental watering and will increase the survival of the plants. The best survival rates are achieved when planting is achieved between 15 November and 15 April. Planting at the site should be accomplished during the late wintedearly spring immediately after the hazard from winter flooding has subsided. Some container planting implementation may be allowable in the late fall or early winter of the year, per biological monitor approval, if the areas for planting are outside the area of potential flooding. This will be determined based upon the final implementation schedule, upon actual field conditions and nursery supply schedules. Hydroseeding should be timed to take advantage of seasonal rainfall patterns and should be applied between fall and spring, if possible. However, all planting areas to be irrigated could be seeded outside of this timeframe, if necessary . Following the first summer after installation, the plants should be checked for viability (Le., number of dead container plants). Sufficient replacement plants shall be installed in order to help achieve adequate native plant cover (Le., al dead container planted trees and shrubs shall be replaced). The dead plant material shall be removed and replaced with the same size material as was planted originally. Replacement planting should be done in November or December. The viability check in fall should be part of the technical assessment described in the Monitoring Plan, Section 7.0. The restoration plant palettes have been designed to include a composition of species similar to existing and adjacent natural areas. Table 2 shows the intended species compositions, the anticipated spacings on center, the size for initial plantings from container stock, and the intended plant species from seed for the enhancement of southern willow scrub. 6 TABLE 2 RECOMMENDED SPECIES FOR SOUTHERN WILLOW SCRUB ENHANCEMENT Trees (overstory) Platanus racemosa - western sycamore Salix exigua - narrow-leaved willow Salix lasiolepis - arroyo willow Salix gooddingii - black willow Sambucus mexicanus - Mexican elderberry Baccharis salicifolia - mule fat Iva hayesiana - San Diego marsh elder Leymus condensatus - giant wild rye Shrubs (understory) 1 gal. 1 gal. 1 gal. 1 gal. 1 gal. 1 gal. 1 gal. 1 gal.

Muhlenbergia rigens - deergrass 6.4 Maintenance Durinq Monitorinq Period The purpose of the monitoring program is to provide guidelines of the revegetated habitats. Because the goal of the revegetation program is to create natural native plant assemblages that can support themselves over the long-term with little or no maintenance, the primary effort of the maintenance/monitoring program is concentrated in the first few seasons of growth to control non-native weedy species and to promote seed growth. Invasive species removal shall be conducted on a monthly basis through first year of the revegetation program. The Biological MonitodHabitat Restoration Specialist will make recommendations to the Contractor for maintenance efforts based on quarterly inspections. Maintenance Activities A. Native understory species will not be cleared from the revegetated areas. Non-native, weedy, and invasive plant species shall be the only vegetation removed from the revegetation areas. Additional vegetation thinning of native species, if necessary, must be authorized by the Biological MonitodHabitat Restoration Specialist. The revegetation areas will not be fertilized during the maintenance period unless determined necessary by the Biological Monitor as a remedial measure to correct soil deficiencies. B. C. Non-native, weedy, and invasive plant species may invade the revegetation areas and become a deterrent during the establishment period of the intended native plant associations. The primary non-native, and weedy species observed during the field 7 D. E. F. 7.0 examination, and may invade plantings in the revegetation areas include: pampas grass (Corfaderia selloana), giant reed (Arundo donax), tamarisk (Tamarix sp.), tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca), castor bean (Ricinus communis), and other pestilent plant species. These should be physically removed as soon as they begin to abundantly grow and before they become too large for hand extraction. An approximate 90 percent non-native/weed-free condition should be maintained throughout the one-year maintenance period for the above mentioned species. Dead container plant material shall be replaced during the first year following installation. Pruning or clearing of existing and/or planted native vegetation will not be allowed within the revegetation areas unless so directed by the Biological MonitodHabitat Restoration Specialist. Deadwood and leaf litter of native trees and shrubs shall not be removed. Downed logs and leaf litter provide valuable microhabitats for invertebrates, reptiles, small mammals and bird species. In addition, the decomposition of deadwood and leaf litter is essential for the replenishment of the soil nutrients and minerals. Non-organic trash and debris will be removed from revegetation areas by hand on a regular basis, at no less than one-month intervals, for the first year. Trash consists of all man-made non-organic materials, equipment, or debris dumped, thrown, or left within the revegetation areas. Recommendations for maintenance efforts will be based upon site observations provided by the Biological MonitodHabitat Restoration Specialist as described under Section 7.2. Weed removal by the maintenance contractor should be conducted on a monthly basis for the first year. Contractor shall provide City with monthly report, dating and summarizing work completed. MONITORING PLAN (NOT A PART OF THIS CONTRACT - Provided by Dudek and Associates) The primary purpose of the monitoring and maintenance program is to provide technical input to the applicant that will facilitate success of the project and compliance with the conditions of the CDFG 1603 permit. Weed control and herbivory are particularly important maintenance issues that often require ongoing attention from maintenance personnel. The qualitative (visual) assessments of the habitats shall be performed by a qualified Biological MonitorIHabitat Restoration Specialist. 7.1 Associates ) Monitoring Methods (NOT A PART OF THIS CONTRACT - Provided by Dudek and Biological monitoring shall consist of field monitoring visits during the fall of the first year after planting by a qualified Biological MonitodHabitat Restoration Specialist to assess completion of installation. Following the completion of installation, qualitative site visits will be conducted quarterly for the first year by a qualified biologist to assess establishment of native species and maintenance issues. 7.2 Schedule of MaintenancelMonitoring Inspections (NOT A PART OF THIS CONTRACT - Provided by Dudek and Associates) The Biological MonitodHabitat Restoration Specialist will conduct quarterly maintenance inspections during the first year after installation. Weed removal by the maintenance contractor 8 will be conducted on a monthly basis for the first year based on the Biological Monitor/Habitat Restoration Specialist recommendations. 7.3 Associates ) Annual Report (NOT A PART OF THIS CONTRACT - Provided by Dudek and An annual report outlining the results of the annual monitoring surveys based upon the anniversary date of the installation, shall be submitted by the Applicant to CDFG.
