Attachment A <br /> Scope of Work <br /> Task 1: Planning/Design <br /> Site Assessment Riparian Habitat Restoration: River Partners will <br /> conduct a site assessment to evaluate site factors that will <br /> determine the species composition of the native riparian vegetation <br /> to be restored. <br /> Task 2: Irrigation <br /> Irrigation Installation: River Partners will install a drip irrigation <br /> system to irrigate planted vegetation for three years. <br /> Irrigation Operation/Repair: River Partners will operate and <br /> maintain the drip irrigation system for three years. <br /> Task 3: Ground Preparation <br /> River Partners will prepare levee sides prior to planting, including <br /> removing thatch and weed control. <br /> Task 4: Planting <br /> Plant Propagation: Local native plant material will be collected, <br /> propagated, and incorporated into the levee planting. River <br /> Partners will contract with plant nurseries to grow container-stock <br /> for the revegetation. Approximately 1,000 woody plants will be <br /> supplied by River Partners and contracted nurseries. <br /> Field Planting: River Partners will survey and layout the field, <br /> design plant communities, and plant and provide every tree with a <br /> plant protector. River Partners will replant trees and shrubs as <br /> required to reach a 650 plants per acre density performance goal at <br /> the end of three years. <br /> Understory: River Partners will plant a native herbaceous <br /> understory throughout the planting area. <br /> Task 5: Maintenance <br /> This task includes routine field maintenance operations such as <br /> spraying and hoeing for weed control for three years to optimize <br /> growing conditions for young riparian plants. <br /> Task 6: Monitoring and Reporting <br /> Field managers and biology staff will regularly monitor field and <br /> plant conditions to guide adaptive management decisions. At the <br /> end of the first growing season, River Partners will complete a field <br /> census to monitor survival and density of each species. At the end <br /> of the second and third growing seasons, River Partners will <br /> monitor subsamples of the project area for survival and density. <br /> This task also includes a Final Project Report, which will describe <br /> project activities, monitoring results, and include site photos. <br /> Vierra Unit—Levee Planting Page 2 <br /> City of Tracy <br />
