L <br /> LSECTION 3 <br /> Tree System Monitoring Methodology <br /> I <br /> `. This section provides an overview of the methodology used to perform the tree system <br /> monitoring. In addition,an overview is provided of site maintenance activities performed to <br /> assure that the tree system is healthy and vigorous. <br /> L <br /> 3.1 Tree Monitoring <br /> L 3.1.1 Monitoring Schedule <br /> Plant-survivorship monitoring of all planted trees is being conducted as shown in Table 3-1. <br /> L Tree monitoring will be conducted for a period of 5 years following installation of the <br /> phytoremediation system as described in the Phytorentediation Cleanup Plan. The objective of <br /> the tree monitoring is to determine if trees have successfully established and survivorship <br /> I goals have been achieved. Monitoring consists of annual plant survivorship counts,a health <br /> L and vigor assessment,and photo documentation.Annual reporting is a requirement of tree <br /> monitoring. Annual tree monitoring is undertaken in late fall or early winter of each <br /> I calendar year per the schedule outlined in Table 3-1. <br /> L <br /> TABLE 3.1 <br /> L Schedule of Monitoring and Reporting Activities <br /> Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 <br /> Tree Monitoring Activity 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 <br /> Plant Establishment Monitoringa 41,10"M <br /> Plant Establishment Reporting° <br /> 00 <br /> Post Plant-Establishment Monitorings <br /> Post Plant-Establishment Reporting <br /> Final 5-Year Evaluation and Reporting` <br /> L aField work to be conducted in summer or fall of each monitoring year. <br /> °Reports to be submitted to RWQCB by the end of each monitoring year. <br /> `The final 5-year evaluation report will be included as part of the 5-year monitoring and reporting effort. <br /> L <br /> As shown in Table 3-1, two types of tree monitoring have either been completed or are <br /> L underway: (1) plant-establishment monitoring, and (2) post plant-establishment monitoring. <br /> Plant-establishment monitoring was conducted for 3 years following tree installation <br /> (as shown in Table 3-1). Post plant-establishment monitoring was completed in Year 4 (2010) <br /> and results of post plant-establishment monitoring are the subject of this report. The final 5- <br /> year evaluation monitoring will be performed in 2011. <br /> L <br /> L <br /> SACJ16674911035000011YEAR4-2010 HOLTTREE_MONITORING REPORT-F(NAL.DOCX) 3A <br />
