Final earthwork and planting was completed in 2006. All areas were planted in accordance with applicable permit conditions, with Archie Creek plantings completed in June, while both North and South mitigation areas were planted throughout throughout July and August and into early September. All herbaceous species were 2’ pot or bare root material on three foot centers, with a few areas of higher planting densities. Shrub species were 1-gallon pot material installed on 5’ centers, with occasional variations in spatial distribution to conform to localized field conditions. Tree species were planted as three-gallon pot material or equivalent root-ball averaging 10’ centers. A planting completion report was submitted to all RRA members during the RRA meeting on 10/12/2006.
 
The first annual monitoring report was submitted in October 2007. Annual monitoring reports have been submitted annually through 2009 with the next report available September 2010. All monitoring reports prepared to date are posted herein.
 
Ongoing maintenance goals are to eradicate exotic emergents within mitigation areas, while managing for minimal exotic coverage within the Archie Creek flow-way, where exotic species continually migrate on-site from upstream sources.
