Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page II-33 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project channel, so an increase in wetland habitat (1.87 acres vs. 1.25 acres)is anticipated. The Project Sponsor shall ensure that the mitigation area, along with an appropriate upland buffer, are preserved in perpetuity via recordation of a conservation easement, or similar deed restriction. 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 creation of equivalent acreage of wetland habitat present within the channel (as determined by the re-verified jurisdictional delineation). Mitigation wetlands shall replace the existing functions and services provided by the impacted channel. • All graded areas within the habitat restoration area shall be seeded with appropriate mixes of California native grass and forb species, developed by a qualified restoration ecologist. • The stated goal of the mitigation effort shall be to establish self-sustaining wetland 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, location and quantities of all plant materials to be planted or seeded,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 effort.
