If USACE concurs with the findings, <br />Phase I monitoring will be concluded. <br /> <br />Characteristics to be monitored; <br />o Foliar aerial coverage (quantitative) <br />o Growth of invasive undesirable vegetation (quantitative) <br />o levee integrity (qua"litative) <br />o Wildlife utilization (qualitative) <br />o Aerial photograph (quantitative) <br /> <br />Phase II monitoring <br /> <br />Phase " will commence immediately after Phase I is concluded. The objective for Phase " will <br />be to document the performance of the wetland to ensure that the standards are maintained <br />over a two-year period. During Phase II, the marsh will be monitored annually, at the end of the <br />growing season. If Performance Criteria are maintained at the conclusion of Phase II, the marsh <br />project will be certified as complete. <br /> <br />. End of the 1 st Phase II Growing Season <br /> <br />The first Phase II monitoring event will be conducted at the end of the first Phase " <br />growing season. The monitoring will be a quantitative inspection, similar to the <br />inspection conducted at the end of Phase I, to document maintenance of performance <br />standards. <br /> <br />Characteristics to be monitored; <br />· Foliar aerial coverage (quantitative) <br />· Growth of invasive undesirable vegetation (quantitative) <br />. levee integrity (qualitative) <br />· Wildlife utilization (qualitative) <br />· Aerial photograph (quantitative) <br /> <br />End of the 2nd Phase II Growing Season <br /> <br />The second Phase " monitoring event will be a quantitative inspection similar to the first <br />Phase " inspection. If performance standards have been maintained at the end of the <br />second Phase " Monitoring event (2 years after performance standards were met) the <br />monitoring report will serve as the final Phase " report. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Benchmark Ecological Services, Inc. <br /> <br />May 2003 <br />
