Document Description
This approximately 2.5 acre site is situated on the east side of Soquel Creek in the Soquel Creek Watershed between the Porter Street Bridge and Porter Street. The objective of Phase 1 will be the eradication of Arundo donax, French broom, poison hemlock, and Cape ivy, and the reduction of the impact of ivy climbing on native riparian trees. Revegetation with woody species will occur in 2008 and revegetation with herbaceous species will not happen until 2009 since it will take significant maintenance to control the ivy.
In Phase 2 (2008), hand removal by the NREP crews will control the invasive groundcovers. Pampas grass and lilies will also be removed from the site and cleared areas will be revegetated with native plants.
In Phase 3 and 4 (2009 and 2010), subsequent hand removal by the NREP crews will be done to control invasive plants. Revegetation of the cleared areas with native plants will be continued as part of Phase 3.
The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2007-0242-3 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, Karen Christensen / Santa Cruz County Resource Conservation District.
