1.PREPARE SOIL AS NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE FOR NATIVE SEED MIX SPECIES THROUGH LOOSENING AND ADDITION OF AMENDMENTS THAT PROMOTE WATER ABSORPTION AND
RELEASE, 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
2.IF CHANGES ARE TO BE MADE TO SEED MIX BASED ON SITE CONDITIONS THEN APPROVAL MUST BE PROVIDED BY CITY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER.

SPECIFIED APPLICATION RATE. REFER TO NATIVE SEED MIX TABLE FOR SPECIES, PERCENTAGES AND APPLICATION RATES.
5.TREAT NATIVE SEED MIX AREA PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF SEED WITH APPROPRIATE HERBICIDE TO PROACTIVELY MITIGATE HERBACEOUS WEED SPECIES GROWTH DURING ESTABLISHMENT
PERIOD THEN AFTER APPROPRIATE TIME PERIOD APPLY NATIVE SEED AS CALLED FOR ON APPROVED PLANS.
6.AFTER SEEDING THE AREA SHALL BE COVERED WITH CRIMPED STRAW OR OTHER APPROPRIATE METHODS AND PROVIDED TEMPORARY IRRIGATION UNTIL SEED IS ESTABLISHED. AN

7.CONTRACTOR SHALL MONITOR SEEDED AREA FOR PROPER IRRIGATION, EROSION CONTROL, GERMINATION AND RESEEDING AS NEEDED TO ESTABLISH COVER.
8.THE APPROVED SEED MIX AREA IS INTENDED TO BE MAINTAINED IN A NATURAL LIKE LANDSCAPE AESTHETIC. IF AND WHEN MOWING OCCURS IN NATIVE GRASS SEED MIX AREAS DO NOT
MOW LOWER THAN 6 TO 8 INCHES IN HEIGHT TO AVOID INHIBITING NATIVE PLANT GROWTH.

WEED MANAGEMENT PLAN
WEED MITIGATION BMPS
PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE:
·TREAT EXISTING NOXIOUS WEED POPULATIONS THAT COULD BE SPREAD BY CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES, ESPECIALLY INDIVIDUAL PLANTS AND SMALL INFESTATIONS. AGGRESSIVE TREATMENT OF
EXISTING WEED POPULATIONS GREATLY REDUCES THE ABILITY OF THE WEEDS TO REBOUND IN POST-CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS.
·REQUIRING EQUIPMENT (ESPECIALLY DIRT-MOVING EQUIPMENT LIKE BULLDOZERS AND EXCAVATORS) TO BE WASHED AND WEED-FREE BEFORE ENTERING THE SITE.
·USE ONLY CERTIFIED WEED-FREE STRAW AND MULCH FOR EROSION CONTROL PROJECTS, INCLUDING WEED-FREE FIBER ROLL BARRIERS AND/OR SEDIMENT LOGS.
SEEDING, PLANTING, AND POST-CONSTRUCTION PHASES:
·OBTAIN SOIL COMPONENTS, AMENDMENTS, SEED MIXES, AND MULCHES FROM WEED-FREE SOURCES.
·ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN VIGOROUS, DESIRABLE VEGETATION TO DISCOURAGE WEEDS.
·MULCH ANY NON-VEGETATED SURFACES TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF NOXIOUS WEED SEEDS THAT WILL REACH THE SOIL SURFACE AND GERMINATE.
·THE NHBZ WILL BE MONITORED FOR ANY WEED INFESTATIONS POST-CONSTRUCTION AND TREATED APPROPRIATELY IF IDENTIFIED. THIS WILL OCCUR TWICE A YEAR FOR THREE YEARS FOLLOWING
PLANTING.
·THE SPECIES, LOCATION, POPULATION SIZE, AND TREATMENT METHOD OF NOXIOUS WEEDS IN THE NHBZ WILL BE DOCUMENTED TO INFORM ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.
WEED TREATMENTS FOR NOXIOUS WEEDS IDENTIFIED ON SITE
CANADA THISTLE WEED CONTROL
DURING THE PROJECT, CANADA THISTLE WILL BE TREATED WITH HERBICIDE IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER TO ELIMINATE TOP GROWTH, FOLLOWED BY A FALL APPLICATION OF A TRANSLOCATING HERBICIDE. A
LICENSED PESTICIDE COMMERCIAL APPLICATOR WILL APPLY HERBICIDE PER RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDED BY THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE IN THE ‘CANADA THISTLE IDENTIFICATION AND
MANAGEMENT FACTSHEET (2008). SPOT-TREATMENT BY MECHANICAL METHODS MAY ALSO BE IMPLEMENTED, AS NECESSARY.
LEAFY SPURGE WEED CONTROL
DURING THE PROJECT, LEAFY SPURGE WILL BE TREATED WITH HERBICIDE IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER TO ELIMINATE TOP GROWTH. A LICENSED PESTICIDE COMMERCIAL APPLICATOR WILL APPLY HERBICIDE PER

NHBZ GOALS
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS GUIDELINES (LUC 3.4.1) THE NATURAL HABITAT BUFFER ZONE SHOULD BE MANAGED TO:
1.PRESERVE OR ENHANCE THE ECOLOGICAL CHARACTER OR FUNCTION AND WILDLIFE USE OF THE NATURAL HABITAT OR FEATURE AND TO MINIMIZE OR ADEQUATELY MITIGATE THE
FORESEEABLE IMPACTS OF DEVELOPMENT.
2.PRESERVE OR ENHANCE THE EXISTENCE OF WILDLIFE MOVEMENT CORRIDORS BETWEEN NATURAL HABITATS AND FEATURES, BOTH WITHIN AND ADJACENT TO THE SITE.
3.ENHANCE THE NATURAL ECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SITE. IF EXISTING LANDSCAPING WITHIN THE NHBZ IS DETERMINED BY THE DECISION MAKER TO BE INCOMPATIBLE
WITH THE PURPOSES OF THE BUFFER ZONE, THEN THE APPLICANT SHALL UNDERTAKE RESTORATION AND MITIGATION MEASURES SUCH AS RE-GRADING AND/OR THE REPLANTING OF
NATIVE VEGETATION.
4.PROVIDE APPROPRIATE HUMAN ACCESS TO NATURAL HABITATS AND FEATURES AND THEIR ASSOCIATED NHBZ'S IN ORDER TO SERVE RECREATION PURPOSES, PROVIDED THAT SUCH
ACCESS IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ECOLOGICAL CHARACTER OR WILDLIFE USE OF THE NATURAL HABITAT OR FEATURE.
STEPWISE APPROACH
STEP 1. CREATING OPPORTUNITY AND REDUCING COMPETITION - NOXIOUS AND WEEDY SPECIES SHOULD BE CONTROLLED USING MECHANICAL OR CHEMICAL METHODS PRIOR TO
PROJECT CONSTRUCTION OR GRADING TO ENSURE THAT A VARIETY OF NATIVE SPECIES ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH.
STEP 2. SOIL PREPARATION - THE SOIL SURFACE SHOULD BE OPTIMIZED FOR SEEDING OR PLANTING. AN AGRONOMIC ASSESSMENT IS RECOMMENDED TO EVALUATE THE CHEMICAL
AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE SOIL AND DETERMINE IF SOIL AMENDMENTS WOULD HELP ESTABLISH NATIVE VEGETATION. THE SOIL SURFACE SHOULD BE SMOOTH,
UNCOMPACTED, AND FREE OF LARGE MATTER WHICH COULD IMPEDE PLANTING OR SEEDING. PRIOR TO SEEDING THE SOIL SURFACE SHOULD BE LOOSE, ALLOWING FOR GOOD
SOIL/SEED CONTACT.
STEP 3. SEEDING AND PLANTING - AFTER FINAL CONTOURING AND AMENDMENT APPLICATION/INCORPORATION, SEEDING SHOULD OCCUR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID
UNDESIRABLE IMPACTS FROM WIND OR PRECIPITATION. SEEDING CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED USING BROADCASTING AND DRILLING TECHNIQUES WHEREVER APPLICABLE.
O FOR BROADCAST SEEDING: THE SEEDING RATE SHOULD BE DOUBLED, SEED-TO SOIL CONTACT SHOULD BE INCREASED IMMEDIATELY THROUGH MANIPULATION WHICH WILL
ALSO PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION FROM WIND OR WATER EROSION AND GRANIVORES. MANIPULATION CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY EITHER A LIGHT DISC HARROWING
PERPENDICULAR TO THE FLOW OF ENERGY (WIND AND/OR WATER) OR HAND RAKING AROUND SENSITIVE AREAS (I.E. WILLOW PATCHES).
O FOR DRILL SEEDING: FINAL DRILLING PASS MUST OCCUR ON THE CONTOUR, TO CREATE SUBTLE RIDGES PERPENDICULAR TO THE FLOW OF ENERGY. DRILL SEEDING SHOULD NOT
BE CONDUCTED IN SENSITIVE AREAS.
APPROPRIATE NATIVE SEEDING EQUIPMENT WILL BE USED, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE STANDARD TURF SEEDING EQUIPMENT OR AGRICULTURE EQUIPMENT. DRILL SEED THE APPROVED MIX
IN TWO PASSES, EACH AT A RIGHT ANGLES TO THE OTHER AND USING HALF THE SEED IN EACH PASS. SEED SHOULD BE DRILLED AT THE SPECIFIED APPLICATION RATE AND TO A
dEPTH OF NO GREATER THAN ½ INCH. IF AREAS ARE TOO WET OR STEEP TO DRILL SEED, BROADCAST SEED IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AT TWICE THE APPLICATION RATE USED FOR DRILL
SEEDING. RESTORE FINE GRADE AFTER SEEDING, AND COVER SEED TO A DEPTH OF ¼ OF AN INCH BY RAKING OR DRAGGING.
STEP 4. MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT - MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED TO ENSURE SUCCESS OF THE ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION PROJECT.
THE CONTRACTOR SHALL MONITOR SEEDED AREA FOR EROSION CONTROL, GERMINATION, AND RESEEDING AS NEEDED TO ESTABLISH COVER.
ANNUAL MONITORING PLAN
THE NHBZ WILL BE SURVEYED TWICE A YEAR ON THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE:
1.IN THE SPRING, A QUALIFIED ECOLOGIST WILL TRAVERSE THE ENTIRETY OF THE SITE TO ASSESS NOXIOUS WEED POPULATIONS.
2.AT THE PEAK OF GROWING SEASON, A QUALIFIED ECOLOGIST WILL IMPLEMENT QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTS TO EVALUATE GROUND COVER WITHIN THE NHBZ.
QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTS WILL CONSIST OF TWO PERMANENT PHOTO POINTS AND FIVE GROUND COVER SAMPLING POINTS. AT EACH SAMPLE POINT, GROUND COVER WILL BE
MEASURED USING OCULAR ESTIMATES IN A 1 METER BY 1 METER QUADRAT, WHERE THE ECOLOGIST WILL ESTIMATE AND RECORD VEGETATIVE GROUND COVER BY SPECIES TO THE
NEAREST 1%. ALL SPECIES, INCLUDING NOXIOUS AND INVASIVE SPECIES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE PERCENT GROUND COVER WILL BE RECORDED.
ANNUAL MONITORING WILL CONTINUE FOR A TOTAL OF THREE YEARS FOLLOWING RESTORATION OF THE NHBZ. A BRIEF MEMO CONTAINING SURVEY FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS BY SEPTEMBER 30TH OF EACH YEAR.
DURING THE THIRD YEAR OF ANNUAL MONITORING, A DETERMINATION OF SUCCESSFUL ESTABLISHMENT IN THE NHBZ WILL BE MADE BY CITY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
BASED ON A SITE SURVEYS AND VEGETATIVE PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO THE FOLLOWING SUCCESS CRITERIA:
1.70% TOTAL VEGETATIVE COVER (EXCLUDING NOXIOUS WEEDS) IS REACHED WITH NO BARE SPOTS LARGER THAN ONE SQUARE-FOOT.
2.NOXIOUS WEEDS DO NOT EXCEED 10% TOTAL COVER.
3.DEEMED ACCEPTABLE BY CITY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND EROSION CONTROL.
