THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR SHALL DRILL SEED ALL INDICATED AREAS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER COMPLETION OF GRADING OPERATIONS. SOIL PREPARATION MEASURES IN AREAS TO BE SEEDED SHALL BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO SEEDING. 2. FOR PROPER ESTABLISHMENT, SEED SHALL BE INSTALLED WHEN AT LEAST THREE MONTHS REMAIN IN THE GROWING SEASON. IF LESS THAN THREE MONTHS REMAIN IN THE GROWING SEASON AT THE TIME OF SEEDING, THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR SHALL IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND OWNER. 3. THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR SEEDED AREAS SHALL BE FULLY OPERATIONAL AT THE TIME OF SEEDING. THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE TEMPORARY IRRIGATION TO ALL SEEDED AREAS, AND SHALL ENSURE 100% HEAD-TO-HEAD COVERAGE OVER ALL SEEDED AREAS. 4. AFTER SEEDING OPERATIONS ARE COMPLETE, THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR SHALL INSTALL JUTE MESH OVER SEEDED AREAS PER MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS. 5. AFTER SEEDING IS COMPLETED, THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR SHALL SET THE IRRIGATION CONTROLLER SCHEDULE SUCH THAT SEED MAY BE PROPERLY GERMINATED AND HEALTHY SEEDLING GROWTH SUSTAINED. THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ADJUSTING THE IRRIGATION SCHEDULE AS NEEDED THROUGH THE END OF THE LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE PERIOD TO ENSURE SEEDLING SURVIVAL. 6. THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ADEQUATE SEEDLING COVERAGE AND GROWTH ("FINAL STABILIZATION") AT THE TIME OF SWPPP CLOSEOUT, AS DEFINED BY THE STATE AGENCY OVERSEEING SWPPP PERMITS. IF FINAL STABILIZATION IS NOT ACHIEVED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE STATE AGENCY, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL CORRECTIVE MEASURES, AT HIS OWN COST, TO SATISFY SWPPP REQUIREMENTS AND ENSURE TIMELY SWPPP CLOSEOUT. THESE MEASURES MAY INCLUDE, AT THE OWNER'S OPTION, RESEEDING OF SPARSELY GERMINATED AREAS AND/OR INSTALLATION OF SOD IN ALL SEEDED AREAS. SWPPP SEED ESTABLISHMENT NOTES 1. PREPARE SOIL AS NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE FOR NATIVE SEED MIX SPECIES THROUGH AERATION AND ADDITION OF AMENDMENTS, THEN SEED IN TWO DIRECTIONS TO DISTRIBUTE SEED EVENLY OVER ENTIRE AREA. 2. IF CHANGES ARE TO BE MADE TO SEED MIX BASED ON SITE CONDITIONS THEN APPROVAL MUST BE PROVIDED BY CITY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER. 3. APPROPRIATE NATIVE SEEDING EQUIPMENT WILL BE USED (STANDARD TURF SEEDING EQUIPMENT OR AGRICULTURE EQUIPMENT SHALL NOT BE USED). 4. DRILL SEED APPLICATION RECOMMENDED PER SPECIFIED APPLICATION RATE TO NO MORE THAN ½ INCH DEPTH. FOR BROADCAST SEEDING INSTEAD OF DRILL SEEDING METHOD DOUBLE SPECIFIED APPLICATION RATE.

NO DAMAGING ATTACHMENT, WIRES, SIGNS OR PERMITS MAY BE FASTENED TO ANY PROTECTED TREE. 7. LARGE PROPERTY AREAS CONTAINING PROTECTED TREES AND SEPARATED FROM CONSTRUCTION OR LAND CLEARING AREAS, ROAD RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND UTILITY EASEMENTS MAY BE "RIBBONED OFF," RATHER THAN ERECTING PROTECTIVE FENCING AROUND EACH TREE AS REQUIRED IN SUBSECTION (G)(3) ABOVE. THIS MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY PLACING METAL T-POST STAKES A MAXIMUM OF FIFTY (50) FEET APART AND TYING RIBBON OR ROPE FROM STAKE-TO-STAKE ALONG THE OUTSIDE PERIMETERS OF SUCH AREAS BEING CLEARED. 8. THE INSTALLATION OF UTILITIES, IRRIGATION LINES OR ANY UNDERGROUND FIXTURE REQUIRING EXCAVATION DEEPER THAN SIX (6) INCHES SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY BORING UNDER THE ROOT SYSTEM OF PROTECTED EXISTING TREES AT A MINIMUM DEPTH OF TWENTY-FOUR (24) INCHES. THE AUGER DISTANCE IS ESTABLISHED FROM THE FACE OF THE TREE (OUTER BARK) AND IS SCALED FROM TREE DIAMETER AT BREAST HEIGHT AS DESCRIBED IN THE CHART BELOW: TREE DBH (INCHES) AUGUR DISTANCE FROM FACE OF TREE (FT.) 0-2 1 3-4 2 5-9 5 10-14 10 15-19 12 OVER 19 15 9.
