| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; 15 materials excavated in the construction of pipeline trenches should not be deposited on wetland or sensitive plant or wildlife habitat areas this material should be stored on adjacent roadways or in other upland areas to be used later in filling the excavation 16 after wetland topsoils top soils are replaced the disturbed area should be graded to contour levels that blend with adjacent lands and re vegetated with a mixture of desirable native wetland plant species 17 opportunities should be sought to restore and enhance existing ta t1 wetlands or to create wetlands within the reconstructed floodplain flood plain under the proposed action and existing channel modification alternative so they would function and be maintained naturally through connection with the riverine hydrology as a project feature 18 disturbed areas should be reclaimed and returned to preexisting pre existing or enhanced fish and wildlife habitats as soon as possible after construction 19 plant species for rehabilitating disturbed areas and for erosion control should be selected on the basis of soil type root stabilizing characteristics consistency with composition of contiguous native plant communities compatibility with wildlife and ability to compete with undesirable vegetation appropriate revegetation plans should be developed in cooperation with the NRCS service and UDWR UDVR planting watering and fertilizer application should be on schedules that are optimal for the species selected 20 desirable preferably native plants that will help control erosion and inhibit the spread of noxious weeds and undesirable plants should be seeded on disturbed areas as soon as possible after construction is completed 21 A program to educate contractors and others who are in field position in the identification of noxious or undesirable vegetation should be implemented the participants should be provided with photographs or drawings of these species and informed of procedures for reporting locations where they are observed 22 equipment and vehicles should be examined and washed if necessary to reduce the possibility of introducing undesirable plant species from previous work sites into the area 23 noxious weeds and undesirable plants should be controlled by chemical mechanical hand removal and biological means as may be appropriate with due consideration given for compatibility with wildlife management plans needs for protecting native plant communities and avoidance of envirom environ environmental nental cental contamination approved procedures and required permits should be obtained for the controls that are used 24 weeds removed by mechanical or hand control methods should be burned or properly disposed of to prevent their spread to other areas 25 noxious and undesirable vegetation in the vicinity of ute ladies tresses orchid colonies and spotted frog habitats should be controlled by methods that avoid or minimize impacts to these species or their habitats 26 stockpiles stockpiler Stock piles of top soil that would remain barren for extended periods should be managed appropriately to control erosion and avoid proliferation and spread of noxious weeds and undesirable plants 27 construction of pipeline crossings in stream channels should be scheduled during low flow periods to lessen stream and riparian impacts G 2 |
