Monitoring and maintenance activities include: monthly inspections of the Project site; adaptive management of invasive non-native plants; adjustment and removal of browse protection cages; adjustment and removal of the temporary at-grade drip irrigation system; application of additional wood chip mulch; application of supplemental water; installation of additional locally-native container plants or hardwood stakes; and reseeding. Supplemental water for the temporary on-grade drip irrigation system will be sourced from a water truck or temporary water tank. The Project does not include the diversion of water from the Salinas River.
