Common use of MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PLAN COMPONENTS Clause in Contracts

MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PLAN COMPONENTS. Goals and objectives of project • Site location and history • Improvements implemented Monitoring and Maintenance Plan • Monitoring Metrics (ex: Plant establishment, bank erosion, hydraulic characteristics, habitat expansion) • Maintenance Metrics (ex: irrigation, pest management, weed abatement, continuous invasive species removal until natives established) • Special Environmental Considerations (ex: resource agency requirements, permit requirements, CEQA/NEPA mitigation measures) • Performance Measures, or success/failure criteria monitoring results measured against (ex: percent canopy cover after 1, 5, 10 years, water temperature decrease, site specific sediment scour or retention) • Method of Reporting (ex: paper reports, online databases, public meetings) • Frequency of Duration Monitoring and Reporting (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) • Frequency and Duration of Maintenance Activities • Responsible Party (who is conducting monitoring and/or maintenance) Implementing responsibility (i.e., who is responsible for monitoring and maintenance) • Adaptive Management Strategies (i.e., what happens when routine monitoring or maintenance encounters a problem)
