COR Wetland Mitigation Memorandum October 7, 2021 Page 10 outcome is likely similar to what is present currently. While improvements to the upland buffer can be achieved with strategic herbicide applications, mowing, and interseeding to augment native species, the dominance of hybrid cattails likely cannot be overcome. 3. Not specific to this assessment, the mitigation sites also require the recording of a deed of restrictions and covenants. While both sites are under a drainage and utility easement, and therefore have some level of protection, wetland mitigation sites convey additional land use restrictions and should be completed. It is recommended that this be completed after the mitigation sites have been approved, likely as a contingency of said approval. 4. A requirement is also to monument the sites to identify where the mitigation site is located. It is recommended to discuss options with the LRRWMO and TEP for what would be appropriate signage. While signage may be less critical for sites entirely within city-owned property, the demarcation of the boundaries can assist with preventing accidental encroachment. They can also provide educational opportunities if information about the site is presented in conjunction with a boundary marker. It is recommended that a site visit be convened in the fall of 2021 to provide the opportunity to inspect the site and verify the findings of this memorandum. SEH staff will facilitate the review and assist with the necessary steps to achieve closure of these mitigation sites.
