vegetation, and revegetation of bluffs or very steep slopes <br />visible from the river are priorities for restoration. <br />(2) Removal of other vegetation, including dead, dying, or <br />diseased vegetation and removal of invasive non - native <br />plants, must be replaced with natural vegetation to the <br />greatest extent practicable. Priorities for replacement are <br />the same as those listed in item C(1). <br />(3) Any disturbance of highly erodible soils must be replanted <br />with appropriate deep- rooted vegetation with a high stem <br />density. <br />(4) Other conditions determined necessary by local <br />government. <br />Subpart 6. Vegetation restoration plan requirements. <br />Reestablishment of natural vegetation according to a restoration plan <br />must be required upon failure to comply with the requirements in this <br />part or as part of the planning process for subdivisions as provided in <br />part 6106.0170. <br />A. The vegetation restoration plan must: <br />(1) include vegetation that provides suitable habitat and <br />effective soil stability, runoff retention and infiltration <br />capability. Vegetation species, composition, density, and <br />diversity must be guided by nearby patches of native plant <br />communities; <br />(2) be prepared by a qualified individual as defined by the local <br />government; and <br />(3) include a maintenance plan that includes management <br />provisions for controlling invasive species and replacement <br />of plant loss for three years. <br />B. The local government must issue a certificate of compliance <br />after it has determined that the restoration requirements of <br />items A have been satisfied. <br />C. Vegetation management and restoration activities must be <br />guided by Native Vegetation Establishment and Enhancement <br />Guidelines, incorporated by reference under part 6106.0090, or <br />other appropriate guidance material. <br />A vegetation restoration plan is required as a <br />condition of violations, as well as for large <br />subdivisions or land developments (part <br />6106.0170) <br />Subpart 7. Land alteration permit requirements <br />A. When required. A land alteration permit is required for any <br />activity that disturbs a total land surface area of (5 -10) cubic <br />Requesting feedback on (A)! The 2011 draft <br />rules require erosion and sediment control <br />BMPs for activity disturbing 3,000 square feet <br />or more anywhere in the MRCCA. This <br />revision proposes to limit the requirement for <br />BMPs to disturbances to the specific areas <br />listed in subp. 2(A)(1). Should the disturbance <br />threshold at which BMPs are required be the <br />same as the permit threshold or something <br />higher?
