DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ER-90-8 PAGE THREE 12 . Topsoil or the material, as approved by the USDA SCS, shall be added to raise the elevation of the site so that the root zone of crops will not be subjected to saturation conditions under the Reclamation Plan. The USDA SCS shall approve the required amounts and location of additional material to be added. 13 . The Reclamation Plan for the north side of the Mokelumne River shall include grading and drainage details that will conduct surface runoff towards the large stock pond in the southwest corner of the site. Grading and drainage facilities shall be designed and constructed so as to maintain current runoff levels to the wetland area. 14 . Excavation shall be limited along the bluff to the south and east of the project area to avoid removal of native trees in these areas. If certain trees cannot be feasibly avoided, mitigation shall be as follows: - For each tree that will be removed, three, twenty-four inch box trees shall be planted, or, in the case of heritage trees (36 inches diameter or greater measured at 4 . 5 feet above ground level) , one sixty inch box tree shall be planted. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to plant all replacement trees prior to the initiation of use. The applicant shall be responsible for the maintenance and protection of said trees during the life of the project's approval. The Grading Plan shall identify all trees that would be lost or whose drip line would be impacted by excavation. The applicant shall have a qualified biologist or a certified arborist conduct an inventory of the trees that would be impacted by the excavation. The tree inventory will be submitted as an appendix of the Grading Plan. 15. No excavation or other activity shall occur within five feet of the dripline of the trees that will not be removed. The applicant shall install and maintain protective fencing to protect those areas within five (5) feet of the drip line of these trees.
