2.0 INTRODUCTION
The contents of this Plan are based on the Wetlands Reveaetation Plan for the North Agua
Hedionda Sewer - Eastern Segment Rehabilitation Proiect prepared by Dudek and Associates,
and submitted to CDFG on August 18, 2003. 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.

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.

6.4 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

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.
