Specifically,the monitoring program will document that the cessation of grazing and the water level managementis providing proper inundation for habitat creation; that the site has developedthe targeted plant communities(60% cover by riparian species);and that the site supports associated wildlife species. 7) The strategic placement of dikes across several small arms of Prepare restoration plans. SJCCDD/SJCDPW FM South Tracy Lake will result in a slow draw-down period, especially in the eastern section of the Lake. Riparian vegetation, especially cottonwoods and willows, will naturally become establishedupslope from the dike. The restoration map shows the distribution of these created "green-tree" environments. The restoration process can be accelerated by actively planting willow and cottonwood cuttings and planting seeds and/or seedlings of oaks, boxelder, ash, and button willow in the appropriate locations.
