Draft Environmental Impact Report Page II-25 Forward Inc. Landfill Expansion and 9 acres of riparian plantings(2:1 mitigation ratio); 3. all graded or filled areas within the habitat restoration area shall be seeded with appropriate mixes of native grass and forb species, developed by a qualified restoration ecologist; 4. restored wetlands and riparian habitat shall have an equal or higher habitat value; 5. a water budget shall be prepared analyzing water demand for each mitigation habitat type and the ability of the watershed to support the target habitats; 6. the stated goal of the mitigation effort shall be to establish self-sustaining native riparian vegetation that shall not require long-term irrigation or maintenance; 7. the mitigation site shall include the establishment of a vegetated upland buffer no less than 50 feet wide on all sides, where practicable; 8. provide grading details, analysis of site hydrology and its ability to support the proposed riparian vegetation, location and quantities of all plant materials to be installed,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; - 9. long-term monitoring of at least five years shall be funded by the Project Sponsors, subject to approval by the regulatory agencies; 10. annual monitoring reports shall be submitted to each permitting agency; 11. a wetland delineation and habitat map shall be prepared during the final year of monitoring and included in the final annual report. 12. subject to review and modification by the regulatory agencies, specified success standards shall call for, at a minimum, 80% survival of all container plantings and 7517o total vegetative cover. H.2 Loss of Chinook Identified in This EIR: Less than salmon and steelhead. Significant Mitigation Measure H.2. Water should be released into the restored South Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohn's Creek gradually to avoid creating a sediment plume downstream that could attract Chinook salmon or steelhead from the San Joaquin River to enter the channel. After the relocation of the channel is completed and is ready convey water,initial flows will be released at approximately 2 cfs (cubic feet/second), and shall be monitored to insure that water is released.gradually through the channel
