Duties of Conservancy. The Conservancy shall provide Management Services to fully implement the Final HMMP and Final LTPMP for the Mitigation Site. These Management Services, of the Mitigation Site, are listed in Exhibits A and B and are generally described below:
Duties of Conservancy. The Conservancy shall implement a habitat restoration plan (including mitigation and monitoring) consistent with the Permits and approved HMMP within the Agua Chinon Wash that will include approximately 12 acres of riparian restoration and enhancement, approximately 28 acres of additional low-intensity habitat enhancement and approximately 92 acres of targeted eradication of selected non-native invasive plants. Exact acreages will be determined following delineations and field surveys completed during the planning and pre-implementation phase of the project. These Management Services are listed in Exhibit A and are described below with anticipated annual phasing: Phase I: Planning and Pre-Implementation (Years 1 and 2). Includes, but may not be limited to, developing delineations, baseline data collection, soil moisture mapping, establishment of vegetation sampling and photo points, verification and adjustment of weed and habitat polygons, establishment of pilot/test plantings, pre-growing and collection of plant material and seeds, and initiation of detailed implementation, maintenance and monitoring plans. Phase II: Implementation (Years 2–4). Includes, but may not be limited to, completion of detailed implementation, maintenance and monitoring plans, extensive mitigation site preparation, installation of irrigation and other maintenance methods, targeted project-wide weed control, flora and fauna surveys, plant material procurement and grow-out, phased planting and installation of native plants, maintenance and monitoring of pilot/test plantings, site-scale weeding, installation of supplemental and replacement plantings and reporting. Each year includes maintenance and upkeep of previous year’s plantings and installation of new plantings on subsequent areas of site. Phase III: Maintenance and Short-Term Monitoring (Years 4-5). Includes, but may not be limited to, continued targeted weed control throughout project area, flora and fauna surveys, active monitoring of installed plantings and irrigation, focused local site-scale maintenance and weed control, revisiting previously planted areas to supplement with additional or replacement plantings, irrigation or other maintenance as needed to track success criteria, site and project-scale monitoring in relation to project Performance Standards, and reporting.
