recommend remedial measures for improvement of wetland mitigation and protection; and recommend improvements to mitigation, maintenance, or monitoring methods. The monitoring report shall be completed by the end of August each year and shall be provided to the San Joaquin County Department of Public Works and the Sacramento District of the COE. If any of the mitigation measures fall short of the minimum performance standards, then the monitoring program shall be extended (at the discretion of the COE) accordingly to monitor remedial mitigation measures that are implemented. The mitigation plan will be implemented after all required permits are issued (404 permit to fill wetlands from the COE and 1601 Streambed Alteration Agreement from the DFG). Protection and monitoring of biological resources will begin prior to construction, and will continue for 5 years after the construction period. Maintenance of project facilities to protect wetlands will continue throughout the life of the project. Methods and objectives described in this monitoring plan are outlined in an implementation schedule (Table 11). The purpose of the schedule is to provide a suggested time frame for plan implementation. The implementation schedule is divided into preconstruction, construction, special -status species, and maintenance and monitoring tasks. ESTIMATECOST OIMPLEMENTATION OF . Estimates of the costs involved to implement the mitigation plan described above are provided below. These estimates are intended to be general guides for County staff and are not intended to be detailed quotes. Many variables influencing actual costs for implementation of wetlands mitigation plans cannot always be foreseen. The following cost estimate is broken down into categories that generally follow the outline of this mitigation plan, such as preconstruction activities, site grading, wetlands creation (i.e., vernal pool, swale, marsh, and riparian creation), upland revegetation (i.e., grassland, tree, and shrub planting), special -status species surveys and mitigation, and monitoring (i.e., construction and postconstruction), and is provided below. The cost estimates for each task are summarized in Table 12 and generally follow the format of Tables 10 and 11. The total cost estimate for implementation of this mitigation plan is approximately $387,075. No allowance has been made for inflation increases in this estimate. 57
