For all outlot areas, outlot edges next to roads/trails/landscape features maybe mowed. monthly, two to three mower widths, for maintaining visibility of features. Year 1€ Maintenance l . The seeded wetlands., upland buf ers, and upland outlot areas shall be mowed. at a height.. of to G inches.a minimum oftwo times. during the first growing: season and before September 30. .2. Purple loosestrife shall be.pulled by hand if it comprises less than 5% of the wetland cover, and spot sprayed with Rodeo herbicide during late August or September if it covers 5% ar more of the replacement wetland.. 3. Invasive and non-nativc. species in the wetland, upland buffer, and upland outlot areas shall be spot sprayed twice annually at times that are particularly effective given the problem species. 4. Stands of reed canary grass in wetland, upland. buffer, and upland outlot areas shall be treated with:Rodeo or Roundup herbicide in late October and again early the following spring before desirable species emerge. 5.. Herbicide. treatments shall be applied according to label instructions. Year 2 Maintenance I. Areas of invasive species such as reed canary grass and thistles shall :be treated with herbicide early in spring prior to the. emergence of desirable species. 2. The seeded wetlands, upland buffers, and upland outlet areas shall be.mowed to a height of b to 8 inches between dune l and July 15 to allow for light penetration to seeded species and prevent seed set on. weedy species.. 3. Purple loosestrife shall be pulled by hand if it comprises less than 5% of the wetland cover, and spot sprayed with Rodep herbicide during late August or September if it covers 5% or more of the replacement wetland. 4. Other invasive and non-native species in wetlands, upland buffer, and upland outlot areas shall be spot.sprayed twice annually at times that are particularly effective for problem species. S.. Stands of reed canary grass in anywetland, upland buffer, and/or upland outlot areas shall be. treated with Rodeo or Roundup herbicide in late October. G. Herbicide treatments shall be applied according to label nstiructions. Year 3 to 5 Maintenance 1. Areas of bare ground or dead vegetation of more than 20 square feet shall be reseeded (Year 3 only).
