These projects ground the Brazilian pepper and smaller <br /> Australian pines in place. The mulch was used to minimize erosion. A portion of the larger <br /> Australian pines were killed using herbicides and left in place for perching sites.This plan included <br /> engineered re-grading to create submergent and emergent wetlands. As part of the engineered <br /> design,the soil balance for the site allowed for the creation of upland coastal hammock.The project <br /> site was vegetated using a combination of planted nursery stock and natural recruitment.Desirable <br /> cover of vegetation was achieved on this site within 3-5 years (the longer duration for upland <br /> communities). <br /> F�- <br /> IMO IMP IMM., <br /> T •-1 <br /> 111111111, r" <br /> o <br /> /41. .1 <br /> -! .f ....0064. or <br /> Loa Tn.Wank t'..nmvmt.•n 4ca <br /> Du-,Il.rd lal.utd•1'.5-'r Knnvni.+t t„mpkrrd 2IMt-:015 <br /> l',,..1.1111, nu.,.1 dt 61116t p.at pYNinE Plumo t matt Indrtn Rner 11.11,1,toom•y do Ik.rh P well <br /> Page 15 <br />
