The mitigation plant community Will be a Wet Meadow-Marsh Complex
(Figure 2). This complex will provide significant habitat for waterfowl in an
array of shallow and deep water fresh water marshas. These marshes will
be designed to promote nesting of waterfowl. The configuration of created
wetlands on the windward edge of the lake will be designed to reduce
shoreline damage caused by wave action. Protection of the shoreline will
improve water quality and wildlife use. Wet meadow and willow vegetation
along the lake's edge WIll maintain water quality and provide habitat for song
birds, reptiles and amphibians.

2 Mitigation Plan Details
\0
Wetland mitigation is desIgned to replace disturbed wetlands.
The plan provides guidelines for providing a suitable soil medium,
establishment of well-rooted plant materials and adequate hydrologic
support for each specific wetland habitat. The key feature of mitigation IS to
produce diverse and self-sustaining vegetation whose composition 'and
function are equivalent to existing characteristics, as illustrated in Table 1.
Desiqn and Construction Guidelines
Construction documents developed for the mitigation sites will indude
typical sections and site plans, The following will be specified on the
construction drawings:
. plant materials to be established in the mitigation sites, including species
to be seeded
. method(s} of setting and establishing plant materials and seeding
. site preparation, topsoiling, fertilizer application and other soil
amendments, as needed
. sources of water that will maintain the hydrologic character of the wetland
replacement site
. typical details of ~iversion channels
. construction supervision Intervals
Plantinq Process
The existing soils in the mitigation area are a suitable planting medium.
Wetland plant materials will be established on these existing soils.
Additional topsoil will be obtained from excavated areas or imported and
amended, as needed. All topsoil material will be analyzed for n4trient
content, pH, textura, percent organics and toxicants.
