All seed must be inspected by the Environmental Planner and contractor prior to installation, and all tags must be maintained for documentation. All seed must be labeled as "certified" by the Colorado seed growers association and shall not include the presence of noxious or invasive species prohibited under the Colorado seed act. Seed must be free of Colorado state noxious and Colorado A and B listed weed propagules shall not contain more than 0.01% by dry weight of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), smooth brome (Bromus inermis), or Canada thistle (Cirsium arvensis). Project engineer or their representative shall approve all seed mixes for weed content and substitutions before seed is purchased. Seed identification and certification tags shall be provided to the project manager for review and approval prior to use. 2. All seed bed preparations will be inspected by the environmental planner after prep has been done but before seeding begins. 3. A restoration ecologist should be consulted when reviewing weed-free seed, soil, mulch, and soil amendment products, including the list of potential weeds present in the product in question. 4. Seeding shall be broadcast at rates listed in seed mix, raked into the soil surface to a depth of between 0.125 and 0.25 inches deep, and covered with mulch at a rate that attains 70% soil coverage and is no deeper than 1". 5. THE SEED MIXES SHALL BE APPLIED TO AREAS AS SHOWN ON THE PLAN SET. 6. The time of year seeding is to occur shall be November 1 through April 7 (early spring date to allow for more vernalization of forb species). 7. Pre-seeding inspections to evaluate final seedbed prep are required prior to seeding. Coordinate with Sr. Inspector, Natural Resources Zoning or the Environmental Planner for inspections. 8. Prepare soil as necessary and appropriate for native seed mix species through loosening and addition of amendments that promote water absorption and release. Remove large rocks, debris, or large clumps, then seed in two directions to distribute seed evenly over entire area. Drill seed all indicated areas as soon as possible after completion of grading operations. 9. If changes are to be made to seed mix based on site conditions, undesirable weed content in lots, or lack of availability of certain species, then approval must be provided by city environmental planner prior to ordering seed mixes. Any ordered seed mixes that do not meet design intent will be rejected at the owner's or contractor's expense. 10. Appropriate native seeding equipment will be used (standard turf seeding equipment or agriculture equipment shall NOT be used). Broadcast seeding is allowed 11. Drill seed application recommended per specified application rate to no more than ¼ inch depth. The seed quantities in seed mixes assume broadcast seeding. If drill seeding is used, seeding quantities can be reduced by 50%. Refer to native seed mix table for species, percentages and application rates. 12. Rake in seeds to ensure seed to soil contact. 13. See the prepared Weed Management Plan in the Adaptive Management Plan to ensure that weeds are properly managed before, during, and after seeding activities. Do not use chemical herbicides or pesticides in pollinator resource areas. 14. After seeding the area shall be covered with crimped straw, wood straw, erosion control blanket, or other appropriate materials as indicated in the plan set. Plastic-based erosion control materials (i.e., Plastic-welded blankets) shall not be used without express permission from the environmental planner as these materials have proven to cause wildlife entrapment issues. 15. Where needed, temporary irrigation shall be provided until seed is germinated. Generally speaking, after germination, irrigation can be reduced by 50% for the next month, and then reduced by another 50% for the following month, until the desired level of vegetation establishment is reached. Note that proper irrigation schedule will vary depending on the nature of natural precipitation regime. Confer with experienced local restoration ecologist or client's desired responsible contractor to determine appropriate irrigation schedule. 16. Temporary irrigation will be used for no more than 2 years, and will be removed at least one growing season prior to measurement of the success criteria. 17. If irrigation is used, the irrigation system for seeded areas shall be fully operational at the time of seeding and shall ensure 100% head-to-head coverage over all seeded areas. All methods and requirements in the approved irrigation plan shall be followed. 18. Contractor shall monitor seeded area for proper irrigation, erosion control, germination, and reseeding as needed to establish cover. 19. The approved native seed mix area is intended to be maintained in a natural like landscape aesthetic. Do not mow during hot, dry periods. If and when mowing occurs in native seed areas, do not mow lower than 12 to 18 inches in height to avoid inhibiting native plant growth. Native seed should be mowed at most twice a year, but typically only once in the fall after seed has hardened. Mowing shall not inhibit seed production. Do not trim perennials or grasses earlier than mid-April. 20.In the Raingarden/Pollinator Garden areas, leave small bunches of cut stems within pollinator beds after trimming. Stems to be placed in the back of planting bed or dispersed in between plantings. Leave any fallen leaves within pollinator beds through the next growing season. Collected leaves can also be placed in small piles in designated open space to provide additional over-wintering habitat. 21. Native seed areas outside of the NHBZ will be considered established when seventy percent of pre-site development vegetative cover is reached with less than ten percent of cover consisting of noxious weeds, no bare spots larger than one foot square, and/or until deemed established by city planning services and erosion control. 22. NHBZ-specific revegetation success criteria to be considered established include meeting the reference area cover standard, less than five percent noxious weeds, eighty percent survival of woody species, no significant bare spots, and/or deemed acceptable by Environmental Planning 23. The developer and/or landscape contractor is responsible for adequate seedling coverage and growth at the time of final stabilization, as defined by state and local agencies. If final stabilization is not achieved to the satisfaction of the agency, the developer and/or landscape contractor shall be responsible for additional corrective measures to satisfy final vegetative requirements for closeout. 24. Proper labeling for each bale or lot of mulch used is required. Project manager has the right to inspect and reject bales if they are suspected to contain unacceptable weed contents. Specifically, smooth brome (Bromus inermis), cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvensis), fireweed (Kochia scoparia), and other aggressive exotic plant species shall not be present in mulches used for the project. A restoration ecologist or botanist should be consulted when reviewing the weed-free mulch product. A list of potential weeds present in the mulch and the product information shall be provided to the project manager and project designer for review and approval prior to use. Hay, regardless of the source, shall not be used as a mulch. 03/24/2025 --------------------------------------------------------· o.--1 ___ 1�.--0 ___ 2�.--0 ______ 3�oft LEGEND Piezometer 1 May GW = 5106.8' June GW = 5106.8' July GW = 5106 .8' Sept.GW = 5107.3' NHBZ -Phase 1 f----+----ll-+--___.
