| Describe how you intend to implement this plan and your finished vegetation plan.: |
We will work with John Benson Excavating in preparing any erosion control issues he finds previous to construction. We have straw bales available. The piece of property is fairly level. Once the trees are removed, he will bring in screen sand fill for the building pad. Outer perimeter of top soil will be regraded. We will plant native woodland plants/grasses/mosses in those areas to blend it back into the woodland environment following construction. *We just picked-up 80 bare root shrubs from the Aitkin County Soil & Water plant sale! |
