Document Description
Invasive plant species, Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and tree of heaven
(Ailanthus altisssima) referred to as Target Species, will be removed from 4.05 acres of riparian corridor using
mechanical, manual, chemical, and prescribed burn treatments. Prior to conducting burn treatments, non-Target
Species will be thinned, and hand tools will be used to create hand-line fire breaks. The Project site will be
revegetated with locally native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous species. Revegetation will involve excavation of holes
in the ground to accommodate pots up to 25 gallons in size. To support restoration success, root protection
baskets, weed protection mats, and browse guard will be installed for each planting. A temporary drip irrigation
system will be installed on the ground surface, composed of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic piping and poly
plastic piping drip line. The drip irrigation system will be removed upon the completion of revegetation success
monitoring. Supplemental water will be provided to plantings from a municipal source. All plantings will be
seasonally watered (approximately November through April) for a three-year establishment period.
