I've put together and attached a few photos of several wetland sites that served as a "model" for the shrub and emergent communities planned for the Auburn mitigation site. I have revisited these areas this spring, and feel we are generally on target with the hydrology, given our ability to hold the water level between 41 and 42 feet if needed. Pa:t of the rationale for the planting elevations was to have shrub communities that would out-compete (clue to wetness) blackberry, and emergent communities that were too wet for vigorous growth of reed canary grass. rm going through my notes of our past several meeting, and will provide (probably tomorrow afternoon) a brief list of clarifications for some of the design issues that we discussed and I was unsure of the answer.
