Monitoring and Maintenance. Monitoring – The Project site will be documented before, during and after construction. A consultant will be retained to develop a vegetation monitoring plan to measure success and replace any defective plant material. Topographic changes on the floodplain channel will be monitored. Volunteers will be taught how to conduct basic vegetation and geomorphic monitoring, identify invasive weeds, and organize an invasive control plan as necessary. The District will conduct routine monitoring in compliance with the maintenance plan described below. Maintenance – A long-term maintenance plan will be developed in consultation with District. A landscape maintenance contractor will be retained to provide three years of vegetation maintenance to limit invasive weeds and replace unsuccessful plant material. A long-term maintenance endowment will be established. District will provide a baseline level of maintenance of the channel. Guidelines for both maintenance and monitoring will be compiled into one comprehensive Operation and Maintenance Manual and Monitoring Plan. Deliverables:
