DEFINITION
CONTROLLING RUNOFF AND EROSION ON DISTURBED UPLAND AREAS BY ESTABLISHING PERENNIAL VEGETATIVE
COVER. DUE TO STEEP SLOPES PRESENT ON THE PROJECT, A HYDRAULICALLY APPLIED FLEXIBLE GROWTH
MEDIUM (FGM) WILL BE REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH PERMANENT VEGETATION ON SLOPES >15%. OTHER AREAS CAN
BE SEEDED AND MULCHED CONVENTIONALLY OR BY USING HYDRAULIC SEEDING PROCEDURES.
PURPOSE
TO REDUCE EROSION AND DECREASE SEDIMENT YIELD FROM DISTURBED AREAS, AND TO PERMANENTLY
STABILIZE SUCH AREAS IN A MANNER THAT IS ECONOMICAL, ADAPTS TO SITE CONDITIONS, AND ALLOWS
SELECTION OF THE MOST APPROPRIATE PLANT MATERIALS.
SEEDBED REQUIREMENTS
ESTABLISHMENT OF VEGETATION SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED ON SITES THAT ARE UNSUITABLE DUE TO
EXCESSIVE SOIL COMPACTION, INAPPROPRIATE SOIL TEXTURE, POOR DRAINAGE, CONCENTRATED OVERLAND
FLOW, OR STEEPNESS OF SLOPE UNTIL MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS.
TO MAINTAIN A GOOD STAND OF VEGETATION, THE SOIL MUST MEET CERTAIN MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AS A
GROWTH MEDIUM. THE EXISTING SOIL SHOULD HAVE THESE CRITERIA:
• ENOUGH FINE-GRAINED (SILT AND CLAY) MATERIAL TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE MOISTURE AND NUTRIENT
SUPPLY (AVAILABLE WATER CAPACITY OF AT LEAST .05 INCHES WATER TO 1 INCH OF SOIL).
��n���ylarrrtl•�:��y�zy�r•>t�a:��.,lr■:zz•>trt�arl�r:��r�•�.
• SUFFICIENT DEPTH OF SOIL TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE ROOT ZONE. THE DEPTH TO ROCK OR IMPERMEABLE
LAYERS SUCH AS HARDPANS SHOULD BE 12 INCHES OR MORE, EXCEPT ON SLOPES STEEPER THAN 2:1
WHERE THE ADDITION OF SOIL IS NOT FEASIBLE.
• A FAVORABLE PH RANGE FOR PLANT GROWTH, USUALLY 6.0 - 6.5.
• FREE FROM LARGE ROOTS, BRANCHES, STONES, LARGE CLODS OF EARTH, OR • TRASH OF ANY KIND. CLODS
AND STONES MAY BE LEFT ON SLOPES STEEPER THAN 3:1 IF THEY ARE TO BE HYDRO SEEDED.
IF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA ARE NOT MET - I.E., IF EXISTING SOIL IS TOO COARSE, DENSE, SHALLOW OR
ACIDIC TO FOSTER VEGETATION - SPECIAL AMENDMENTS ARE REQUIRED. THE SOIL CONDITIONERS DESCRIBED
BELOW MAY BE BENEFICIAL OR, PREFERABLY, TOPSOIL MAY BE APPLIED.

MAINTENANCE
GENERALLY, A STAND OF VEGETATION CANNOT BE
DETERMINED TO BE FULLY ESTABLISHED UNTIL SOIL COVER
HAS BEEN MAINTAINED FOR ONE FULL YEAR FROM PLANTING.
INSPECT SEEDED AREAS FOR FAILURE AND MAKE
NECESSARY REPAIRS AND RESEEDINGS WITHIN THE SAME
SEASON, IF POSSIBLE.
RESEEDING --IF A STAND HAS INADEQUATE COVER,
RE-EVALUATE CHOICE OF PLANT MATERIALS AND QUANTITIES
OF LIME AND FERTILIZER. RE-ESTABLISH THE STAND AFTER
SEEDBED PREPARATION OR OVER- SEED THE STAND.
CONSIDER SEEDING TEMPORARY, ANNUAL SPECIES IF THE
TIME OF YEAR IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR PERMANENT
SEEDING.
IF VEGETATION FAILS TO GROW, SOIL MUST BE TESTED TO
DETERMINE IF ACIDITY OR NUTRIENT IMBALANCE IS
RESPONSIBLE.
FERTILIZATION --ON THE TYPICAL DISTURBED SITE, FULL
ESTABLISHMENT USUALLY REQUIRES RE -FERTILIZATION IN
THE SECOND GROWING SEASON. FINE TURF REQUIRES
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FERTILIZATION. USE SOIL TESTS IF
POSSIBLE OR FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES GIVEN FOR THE
SPECIFIC SEEDING MIXTURE.

TO MAINTAIN A GOOD STAND OF RIPARIAN VEGETATION, THE SOIL MUST BE THE TOPSOIL THAT HAS BEEN

THESE CRITERIA:
• ENOUGH FINE-GRAINED (SILT AND CLAY) MATERIAL TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE MOISTURE AND NUTRIENT

• IF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA ARE NOT MET - I.E., IF EXISTING SOIL IS TOO COARSE, DENSE,
SHALLOW OR ACIDIC TO FOSTER VEGETATION - A ONE TIME APPLICATION OF SPECIAL AMENDMENTS
ARE ALLOWED. HOWEVER, FERTILIZER MUST NOT OCCUR WITHIN 10' OF TO OF BANK OR COME IN
CONTACT WITH WATER. THE SOIL CONDITIONERS DESCRIBED BELOW MAY BE BENEFICIAL OR,
PREFERABLY, TOPSOIL MAY BE APPLIED.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
INSTALL NECESSARY EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PRACTICES BEFORE SEEDING, AND
COMPLETE GRADING ACCORDING TO THE APPROVED PLAN.
ROUGHEN RIPARIAN SURFACES BY DISKING, RAKING, HARROWING, OR OTHER SUITABLE METHODS PRIOR
TO SEEDING.
COMPLETE SEEDBED PREPARATION BY BREAKING UP LARGE CLODS AND RAKING INTO A SMOOTH,

SEEDING
USE CERTIFIED SEED FOR NATIVE RIPARIAN SEEDING.
LABELING OF NON -CERTIFIED SEED IS ALSO REQUIRED BY LAW. LABELS CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ON SEED PURITY, GERMINATION, AND PRESENCE OF WOOD SEEDS. SEEDS MUST MEET

DEFINITION
CONTROLLING RUNOFF AND EROSION ON DISTURBED WETLAND AREAS BY ESTABLISHING PERENNIAL
VEGETATIVE COVER WITH NATIVE WETLAND SEED.
PURPOSE
TO REDUCE EROSION AND DECREASE SEDIMENT YIELD FROM DISTURBED AREAS, AND TO PERMANENTLY
STABILIZE SUCH AREAS IN A MANNER THAT IS ECONOMICAL, ADAPTS TO SITE CONDITIONS, AND ALLOWS
SELECTION OF THE MOST APPROPRIATE PLANT MATERIALS.
SEEDBED REQUIREMENTS
TO MAINTAIN A GOOD STAND OF WETLAND VEGETATION, THE SOIL MUST BE THE TOPSOIL THAT HAS BEEN
STOCKPILED DURING THE GRADING AND EXCAVATION OPERATIONS. THIS TOP SOIL SHOULD ALSO HAVE
THESE CRITERIA:
• FREE FROM LARGE ROOTS, BRANCHES, STONES, LARGE CLODS OF EARTH, OR TRASH OF ANY KIND.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
INSTALL NECESSARY ADJACENT (NOT IN WETLAND) MECHANICAL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
PRACTICES BEFORE SEEDING, AND RETURN GRADES TO ORIGINALS CONTOURS AS MUCH AS
PRACTICABLE.
ROUGHEN WETLAND SURFACES BY DISKING, RAKING, HARROWING, OR OTHER SUITABLE METHODS PRIOR
TO SEEDING.
COMPLETE SEEDBED PREPARATION BY BREAKING UP LARGE CLODS AND RAKING INTO A SMOOTH,
UNIFORM SURFACE. BROADCAST SEED INTO A FRESHLY LOOSENED SEEDBED THAT HAS NOT BEEN
SEALED BY RAINFALL.
SEEDING
USE CERTIFIED SEED FOR NATIVE WETLAND SEEDING.
LABELING OF NON -CERTIFIED SEED IS ALSO REQUIRED BY LAW. LABELS CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ON SEED PURITY, GERMINATION, AND PRESENCE OF WOOD SEEDS. SEEDS MUST MEET
STATE STANDARDS FOR CONTENT OF NOXIOUS WEEDS. DO NO ACCEPT SEED CONTAINING "PROHIBITED"
NOXIOUS WEED SEED.
APPLY SEED UNIFORMLY BY HAND OR PERSONNEL EQUIPPED WITH A BROADCAST SPREADER
WHEN USING BROADCAST -SEEDING METHODS, SUBDIVIDE THE AREA INTO WORKABLE SECTIONS AND
DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF SEED NEEDED FOR EACH SECTION. APPLY ONE-HALF THE SEED WHILE
MOVING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE AREA, MAKING A UNIFORM PATTERN: THEN APPLY THE SECOND
HALF IN THE SAME WAY, BUT MOVING AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE FIRST PASS.
DO NOT APPLY MULCH IN WETLANDS. DO NOT APPLY FERTILIZER
MAINTENANCE
GENERALLY, A STAND OF VEGETATION CANNOT BE DETERMINED TO BE FULLY ESTABLISHED UNTIL SOIL
COVER HAS BEEN MAINTAINED FOR ONE FULL YEAR FROM PLANTING. INSPECT SEEDED AREAS FOR
FAILURE AND MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS AND RESEEDINGS WITHIN THE SAME SEASON, IF POSSIBLE.
RESEEDING --IF A STAND HAS INADEQUATE COVER, RE-EVALUATE CHOICE OF PLANT MATERIALS.
RE-ESTABLISH THE STAND AFTER SEEDBED PREPARATION OR OVER- SEED THE STAND.
SEEDING SPECIFICATIONS
