Good morning,
I have few comments on the Denver Quarry PCN on the planting plan.
• Pease remove hard fescue as it is non-native. We do not recommend fescue species.
• Add some diversity to the flowering herbaceous. The seed mix is mostly grasses. You also have the same two
flowering species in the floodplain/streambank mix as the hillslope. Also, please be consistent with the
Coreopsis lanceolata common name.
• Since black gum, mapleaf viburnum, umbrella magnolia, fringtree, and mountain laurel currently occur at the
site, consider including these species in your planting plan and reducing tulip poplar and walnut. Walnut is great
wildlife value, but it is allelopthic. For the floodplain plantings, consider adding boxelder and reducing sycamore.
• In general, use the current plant community to help shape the community in the revegetation plan.
Please let me know if you have questions.
