FINAL DESIGN REVIEW03/01/20232057NHBZ GOALSIN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS GUIDELINES (LUC 3.4.1) THE NATURAL HABITATBUFFER ZONES SHOULD BE MANAGED TO:1.PRESERVE OR ENHANCE THE ECOLOGICAL CHARACTER OR FUNCTION AND WILDLIFE USE OF THENATURAL HABITAT OR FEATURE AND TO MINIMIZE OR ADEQUATELY MITIGATE THE FORESEEBABLEIMPACTS OF DEVELOPMENT.2.PRESERVE OR ENHANCE THE EXISTENCE OF WILDLIFE MOVEMENT CORRIDORS BETWEEN NATURALHABITATS AND FEATURES, BOTH WITHIN AND ADJACENT TO THE SITE.3.EHHANCE THE NATURAL ECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SITE. IF EXISTING LANDSCAPINGWITHIN THE NHBZ IS DETERMINED BY THE DECISION MAKER TO BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THEPURPOSES OF THE BUFFER ZONE, THEN THE APPLICANT SHALL UNDERTAKE RESTORATION ANDMITIGATION MEASURES SUCH AS RE-GRADING AND/OR REPLANTING OF NATIVE VEGETATION.4.PROVIDE APPROPRIATE HUMAN ACCESS TO NATURAL HABITATS AND FEATURES AND THEIRASSOCIATED NHBZ'S IN ORDER TO SERVE RECREATION PURPOSES, PROVIDED THAT SUCH ACCESSIS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ECOLOGICAL CHARACTER OR WILDLIFE USE OF THE NATURAL HABITATOR FEATURE.STEPWISE APPROACHSTEP 1 - CREATE OPPORTUNITY AND REDUCING COMPETITION - NOXIOUS AND WEEDY SPECIES SHOULDBE CONTROLLED USING MECHANICAL OR CHEMICAL METHODS PRIOR TO PROJECT CONSTRUCTION ORGRADING TO ENSURE THAT A VARIETY OF NATIVE SPECIES ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISHSTEP 2 - SOIL PREPARATION - THE SOIL SURFACE SHOULD BE OPTIMIZED FOR SEEDING OR PLANTING.SPREAD TOPSOIL IN RESTORATION AREAS.AN AGRONOMIC ASSESSMENT IS RECOMMENDED TOEVAULATE THE CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE TOPSOIL AND DETERMINE IF SOILAMENDMENTS WOULD HELP ESTABLISH NATIVE VEGETATION. THE SOIL SURFACE SHOULD BE SMOOTH,UNCOMPACTED, AND FREE FROM LARGE MATER WHICH COULD IMPEDED PLANTING OR SEEDKING.PRIOR TO SEEDING THE SOIL SURFACE SHOULD BE LOOSE, ALLOWING FOR GOOD SOIL/SEED CONTACT.STEP 3 - SEEDING AND PLANTING - AFTER FINAL CONTOURING AND INCORPORATION OF SOILAMENDMENT/FERTILZIER, SEEDING SHOULD OCCUR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID UNDESIRABLEIMPACTS FROM WIND OR PRECIPITATION. SEEDING CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED USING BROADCASTINGAND DRILLING TECHNIQUES WHERE APPLICABLE.·BROADCAST SEEDING: THE SEEDING RATE SHOULD BE DOUBLED, SEED-TO SOIL CONTACT SHOULDBE INCREASED IMMEDIATELY THROUGH MANIPULATION WHICH WILL ALSO PROVIDE SOMEPROTECTION FROM WIND OR WATER EROSION AND GRANIVORES. MANIPULATION CAN BEACCOMPLISHED BY EITHER A LIGHT DISC HARROWING PERPENDICULAR TO THE FLOW OF ENERGY(WIND AND/OR WATER) OR HAND RAKING AROUND SENSITIVE AND SMALLER AREAS.·DRILL SEEDING: FINAL DRILLING PASS MUST OCCUR ON THE CONTOUR, TO CREATE SUBTLE RIDGESPERPENDICULAR TO THE FLOW OF ENERGY. DRILL SEEDING SHOULD NOT BE CONDUCTED INSENSITIVE AREAS.APPROPRIATE NATIVE SEEDING EQUIPMENT WLL BE USED, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE STANDARDTURF SEEDING EQUIPMENT OR AGRICULTURE EQUIPMENT. DRILL THE APPROVED SEED MIX INTWO PASSES, EACH AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE OTHER AND USING HALF THE SEED IN EACH PASS.SEED SHOULD BE DRILLED AT THE SPECIFIED APPLICATION RATE. IF AREAS ARE TOO WET OR STEEPTO DRILL SEED, BROADCAST SEED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.·RESTORE FINE GRADE AFTER SEEDING, AND COVER SEED TO DEPTH RECOMMENDED BY SEEDSUPPLIER BY RAKING OR DRAGGING.·HYDROMULCH SEEDED AREAS WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER SEED IS SEWN.·IRRIGATION SEED AS NEEDED, PER SEED SUPPLIER'S RECOMMENDATIONS.·WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR, AND SUBSEQUENT YEARS, RE-SEEDING MAY BE NECESSARY TO ACHIEVEREQUIRED COVERAGE. IN AREAS THAT HAVE FAILED, RESEED USING THE SAME METHODS ANDSEED MIX TO ACHIEVE A HEALTHY STAND OF GRASS AND FORBS. RESEED IN A MANNER TOACHIEVE THE QUALITY ORIGINALLY SPECIFIED.STEP 4 - MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT - MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES SHOULDBE IMPLEMENTED TO ENSURE SUCCESS OF THE ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION PROJECT. THE CONTRACTORSHALL MONITOR SEEDED AREAS FOR EROSION CONTROL, GERMINATION, AND RESEEDING AS NEEEDEDTO ESTABLISH COVER.MOWING AFTER SEED ESTABLISHMENT: ARES WITH NATIVE SEED MIXES ARE INTENDED TO BEMAINTAINED IN A NATURAL LIKE LANDSCAPE AESTHETIC. IF AND WHEN MOWING OCCURS IN NATIVESEED AREAS DO NOT MOW LOWER THAN 5 TO 6 INCHES IN HEIGHT, TO AVOID INHIBITING NATIVEPLANT GROWTH. NATIVE SEED SHOULD BE MOWED AT MOST TWICE A YEAR, BUT TYPICALLY ONLY ONCEIN THE FALL.REVEGETATION SCHEDULESEXCAVATION AND GRADING MAY ORDINARILY OCCUR DURING ANY MONTH OF THE YEAR. HOWEVER,REVEGETATION ACTIVITIES ARE TYPICALLY MORE LIMITED WITH RESPECT TO THE TIME OF YEAR INWHICH THEY SHOULD BE COMPLETED AND MUST BE TIMED TO COINCIDE WITH A RECOGNIZEDPLANTING SEASON. THE FOLLOWING TABLE DEPICT SCHEDULES THAT CAN BE FOLLOWED TO ACHIEVETHE MITIGATION OBJECTIVES SET FOR THIS PROJECT.SITE CONDITIONS AND/OR CLIMATIC VARIATIONS MAY REQUIRE THAT THESE SCHEDULES BE MODIFIEDSOMEWHAT TO ACHIEVE REVEGETATION SUCCESS.

THE COMPLETEDPLAN WILL BE SUBMITTED TO GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, INCLUDING THE CITY OF FORT COLLINSNATURAL AREAS PROGRAM AND LARIMER COUNTY, AS REQUIRED FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.THE WEED CONTROL PLAN SHALL BE PREPARED BY A LICENSED COMMERCIAL PESTICIDE APPLICATOR(LCPA). SUBSEQUENT WEED CONTROL ACTIVITIES WILL ALSO BE CONDUCTED BY AN LCPA. THE PLANTO BE PREPARED WILL TAKE THE FORM OF AN INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN (IPM) THAT WILLCONSIDER ALL METHODS OF CONTROL THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY BE APPLICABLE TO THE PROJECTAREA. THESE METHODS INCLUDE MECHANICAL, CHEMICAL, CULTURAL, AND BIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES. PRIOR TO PLAN PREPARATION, A VISIT TO THE PROJECT AREA SHALL BE CONDUCTED BY THE LCPA, TOASSESS SITE CONDITIONS, ROUTES OF ACCESS, WEEDY SPECIES PRESENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OFSURROUNDING WATER / WETLAND BODIES TO THE PROPOSED AREAS TO BE TREATED, POTENTIALSOURCES OF RUN-ON AND RUN-OFF, AND OTHER FACTORS RELEVANT TO THE WEED CONTROLPLANNING PROCESS. GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF WETLANDS NEAR THE PROJECT AREA, INITIAL EMPHASISWILL BE GIVEN TO WEED CONTROL METHODS OTHER THAN THOSE OF A CHEMICAL NATURE, THOUGHCHEMICAL CONTROLS DO EXIST THAT ARE CONSIDERED BY THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO BEAPPROPRIATE IN SUCH CASES. PLANT SPECIES TO BE CONSIDERED AS WEEDS AND CONTROLLED AND/OR ERADICATED AT THIS PROJECTSITE, AS PER CITY CODE, ARE THOSE LISTED BY THE LARIMER COUNTY WEED CONTROL DISTRICT ANDTHOSE LISTED AS NOXIOUS BY THE COLORADO WEED LAW.ANNUAL MONITORINGTHE NHBZ WILL BE INSPECTED TWICE A YEAR ON THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE:1.IN THE SPRING, A QUALIFIED ECOLOGIST WILL TRAVERSE THE NHBZ'S TO ASSESS NOXIOUS WEEDPOPULATIONS.2.AT THE PEAK OF GROWING SEASON, A QUALIFIED BIOLOGIST WILL IMPLEMENT QUANTITATIVEMEASUREMENTS TO EVALUATE GROND COVER WITHIN THE NHBZ'S. QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTSWILL CONSIST OF TWO PERMANENT PHOTO POINTS AND FIVE GROUND COVER SAMPLING POINTS.AT EACH SAMPLE POINT, GROUND COVER WILL BE MEASURED USING LINE POINT ESTIMATES IN AONE SQUARE METER QUADRANT, WHERE THE ECOLOGIST WILL ESTIMATE AND RECORD VEGETATIVEGROUND COVER BY SPECIES TO THE NEAREST ONE PERCENT. SPECIES, INCLUDING NOXIOUS WEEDSAND INVASIVE SPECIES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE PERCENT GROUND COVER WILL BE RECORDED.3.BRIEF WEED MANAGEMENT ACTION ITEM REPORTS/MEMOS WILL BE NEEDED PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER30TH AND NEED TO BE DELIVERED TO THE PLANNER, DEVELOPER, AND CONTRACTORS TO ENSURETIMELY ACTION4.ANNUAL MONITORING WILL CONTINUE FOR A TOTAL OF THREE YEARS FOLLOWING RESTORATION OFTHE NHBZ'S.
