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. 10 Section 26. TownShip 35.
