Native Habitat Restoration Specialists
Reservoir No. 3— Habitat Restoration Maintenance
Scooe of Work
The project consists of four main tasks, Weed Abatement, Irrigation, General Maintenance and
Project Management.
Weed Abatement
The site is irrigated so the first year in particular will require extensive effort in weed abatement.
Apparent concerns about herbicide use will mean a labor intensive approach for the first two
years. Crew size should fluctuate with the seasons with the concern being seasonal seed drop
more than rainfall. If species such as black mustard are to be controlled by hand weeding
frequent site inspections (at least every two weeks) during the mustard season in late winter
and spring will be critical. A rapid response with a large crew will be essential. Natures Image
would provide up to three ten -man weeding crews to deal with the mustard seedlings if
necessary.
The targeted species shall be all non-native, exotic plant material with a special effort towards
any considered invasive. Targeted plant material will be removed by hand, and disposed of off
site at an approved landfill or greenwaste facility.
Artichoke thistle (Cynara cardunculus) in particular would respond better to herbicide use than
hand pulling. We would suggest carefully treating the artichoke thistle with Transline (dopyrlid).
Our experience dealing with artichoke thistle for the Nature Conservancy, The Nature Reserve
of Orange County and the Crystal Cove State Park has shown Transline to be more effective
controlling artichoke thistle than glyphosates, or hand pulling.
Irrigation
The irrigation system consists of manual valves. The use of manual valves will require a small
irrigation crew to open and close valves and monitor the pressure and delivery of water. The
crew foreman will determine how many valves can be utilized at once as well as which
combination of opened valves is optimal for scheduling purposes.
There are two critical factors to be considered when maintaining a coastal sage scrub habitat in
the first summer after installation. Enough water must be applied to keep the plant material alive
and growing, without over applying water causing soil pathogens to multiply and damage or kill
the plant material. The amount of water applied frequency and soil moisture levels must be
closely monitored. Natures Image will monitor moisture levels and apply water at least twice a
week during the first six months of the project. The irrigation system will also be checked for
breaks, misaligned heads, malfunctioning heads or nozzles and vandalism. The backflows will
be inspected on a monthly basis. All minor repairs are included in the costs.
Natures Image would provide the City a cost analysis of changing the system to low cost, highly
efficient battery operated controllers as opposed to manually opening and closing valves.

Scope of Work (continued)
General Maintenance
The general maintenance shall include erosion control and plant protection. The site
shall be inspected by a project manager or estimator with a Storm Water Pollution
Control Managers certificate as accepted by Caltrans. The project manager will check
for minor grade changes that may lead to rilling or ponding of water. Natures Image will
recommend and install minor grade repairs, straw wattles or other run off controls as
needed within the projected budget for those best management practices.
The project manager and foreman shall inspect plant material at each site visit for signs
of herbivory. While small amounts of damage are expected on some species, any
indication that plants may be lost will require installation of wire cages. Natures Image
will install cages as needed within the projected budget.
Project Management
Project management shall consist of overseeing the weed abatement, irrigation and
general maintenance as well as initial meetings with the owners biological monitors and
city representatives. The project management shall also consist of regular site visits,
regular monthly meetings with the owners biological monitors, coordinating and
obtaining approval of billing, and filing monthly progress reports.
Natures Image takes great pride in our projects and in our clients success in meeting
their goals. We strive to cultivate a cooperative team environment.
