much of the growing season. Even with the conversion to a Seasonally Flooded Basin the dense <br />vegetation still provides an excellent natural filter to reduce nutrients and sedimentation to <br />downstream wetlands. Restoration of the basin by excavation was ranked low due to it location <br />away from trails and its existing function for water quality treatment being high. <br />Community <br />Activity <br />Priority <br />Estimated Cost <br />Comments <br />AC -W7 <br />Excavate <br />sediment <br />Low <br />$1200.00 <br />Provide treatment of <br />stormwater from street. <br />Community AC -W8 <br />Lowland Hardwood Swamp <br />Qualitative Rank: Low <br />Area: 0.2 acres <br />With the location of the Beehive at a higher elevation and the natural infiltration process in this <br />basin it has the hydrology and resembles a plant community of a lowland hardwood swamp. The <br />species within the basin include silver maple, cottonwood, and reed canary grass. Currently the <br />closed canopy of the site limits herbaceous growth. Removal of undesirable tree and shrub <br />species will enable more light penetration and development of ground cover. Its small size <br />makes it manageable for reintroduction of species and a low cost restoration. Due to its location <br />at a trail access point it may provide an opportunity for education. <br />Community <br />Activity <br />Priority <br />Estimated Cost <br />Comments <br />AC -W8 <br />Thin <br />Low <br />$300.00 <br />Thin canopy to establish <br />Cottonwoods <br />herbaceous growth <br />Trees <br />AC -W8 <br />Plant natives <br />Low <br />$450.00 <br />Planting of lowland hardwood <br />forest herbaceous species <br />AC -W8 <br />Educational <br />Low <br />$500.00- <br />Educational signage at entry to <br />signage <br />$1,000.00 <br />park about hardwood swamps <br />City of Roseville 77 <br />Parks Natural Resource Management <br />
