ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss � � Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page II-33 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project The Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall include the following details: • The location(s) of mitigation areas, including the types and extent of each habitat type to be created. • Mitigation for loss of existing wetlands shall at a minimum include the equivalent acreage of wetlands and riparian habitat present (as determined by the updated jurisdictional delineation to be conducted), or as required by regulatory agencies (expected 3:1 replacement ratio). Riparian habitat mitigation may occur through off-site mitigation to address Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) concerns regarding increasing the risk of increased bird use and associated aviation risks. • All graded or filled areas within the habitat restoration area shall be seeded with appropriate mixes of native grass and forb species, developed by a qualified restoration ecologist. • Restored wetlands and riparian habitat shall have an equal or higher habitat value; • A water budget shall be prepared analyzing water demand for each mitigation habitat type and the ability of the watershed to support the target habitats. • The stated goal of the mitigation effort shall be to establish self-sustaining native riparian vegetation that shall not require long-term irrigation or maintenance. • The mitigation site shall include the establishment of a vegetated upland buffer no less than 50 feet wide on both sides of the recreated channel, where practicable. • Provide grading details, analysis of site hydrology and its ability to support the proposed riparian vegetation, location and quantities of all plant materials to be installed, native seed mixes to be used on all bare ground surfaces, monitoring procedures and schedules, identification of remedial measures, and performance criteria to be used by the agencies to assess success or failure of the mitigation
