PREVENTING SPREAD OF INVASIVE SPECIES Sample Clauses

PREVENTING SPREAD OF INVASIVE SPECIES. The Grantee, their contractors and volunteers will take steps to minimize the risk of spreading terrestrial and aquatic invasive species during this project and will take measures to prevent spread, where feasible. Selection of project-appropriate measures should be dependent on the type of work being conducted and the specific situation. Examples of such measures may include: 1. Avoiding infested areas when possible. 2. Conducting field work in upstream areas before downstream areas to decrease the likelihood of carrying species further up into the watershed or visiting highest quality/least invaded sites before invaded sites during a trip. 3. Performing basic decontamination steps such as: 1. Visually inspecting and removing any plants or mud from footwear (boots, hip-boots, and waders). 2. Visually inspecting and removing and properly disposing of any plants and mud from field equipment (nets, shovels, xxxxx, etc.) and vehicles (cars, boats, ATVs, etc.). 3. Draining all water from boats (motor, live well, bilge, transom well) and equipment, prior to leaving the site and before entering a new waterbody. 1. Thoroughly drying boats and equipment (5-7 days, if possible) between sites. 4. Disinfecting boats and equipment between sites (e.g. diluted bleach solution, heated pressure washer). Disinfection should be conducted away from surface waters, where the disinfecting solution will not enter any storm sewers and/or surface waters. 1. Typical diluted bleach solution treatment is ½ cup (4 fluid ounces) bleach to 5 gallons of water, applied by spraying or sponge so surface is thoroughly exposed to bleach solution for 10 minutes. 2. Typical heated pressure wash is 140⁰ water temperature, sprayed for 5- 10 seconds. 5. Thoroughly washing vehicles and boats between sites (e.g. drive-through car wash). 4. Using only native plants and seed for restorations and best management practices. If invasive aquatic or terrestrial plants are collected from a site, the grantee will take steps to minimize the spread of these species. Dispose of invasive plant material by bagging and transporting to a landfill, composting, or burning, as appropriate and in compliance with local and state laws. The Water Resources Division is asking all grantees to be on the lookout for invasive species that have limited distribution or are not yet to be known to be established in Michigan. A “Watch List” of Michigan’s high priority aquatic invasive species along with how to report sightings can...
