Operations and Maintenance Manual
Steelman Park Stream Restoration
This manual was prepared to assist with the development and maintenance of the Steelman Park
Stream Restoration Project. In general, the restored stream and wetland should be a self-
sustaining ecosystem. However, the restored site will create conditions that are also conducive
for invasive vegetation. Although a dense cover of native plantings should be able to
discourage the spread of invasives, attention will be needed to keep the site in its best and most
beautiful condition.
The Project Plans include specifications for a one year maintenance and warranty period on all
plantings. An inspection at the end of the first year is recommend to follow up on requirements and
survival of designated plantings. The following Maintenance and Inspection Activities are
recommend in the following years at designated intervals. A general inspection of the site should
also take place after significant rain events.
1. Monthly or as -needed
A. Remove trash and debris from the stream and wetland area.
B. Keep culverts, bridges, and stream structures free of blockages.
C. Inspect stream slopes for damage from erosion, sloughing, and animal burrows.
2. Semi -Annually
A. Reseed bare areas and repair eroded areas as necessary in April and October
B. Add supplement wetland plantings as desired in April or October.
C. Add tree plantings in November through February.
D. The wetland has been planted to establish a dense and diverse ecosystem. Once
established, it should be able to limit intrusion by cattails, smartweeds, or other
undesirable aquatics. The stream and floodplain area should be monitored for this type
of vegetation and controlled if populations appear to threaten other plants. The most
effective removal and treatment will be in the spring and summer growing seasons.
E. Volunteer woody vegetation such as willows, wax myrtles, or red maple will sprout
around the site. Control of these species will be required to maintain site lines and the
safety of the park. Control will also promote the growth of more desirable wetland
species. Control may also be accomplished with a weedwhacker and combined with
an aquatically approved herbicide to control re -growth. Control activities in the spring
and/or fall should be sufficient to control woodies and promote herbaceous plantings.
Annually
A. Inspect and repair slopes and stream structures for damage from erosion,
sloughing, animal burrows, or debris.
B. Inspect tree growth and maintain or replace as needed. Trees may be staked,
pruned, or adjusted to promote a growth that secures the safety of the park
area.
C. Keep culverts, bridges, and stream structures cleared of all blockages.
D. Supplement stone in boulder drops or other structures if lost during the year.
