Document Description
Conduct a series of experimental Ammophila arenaria removal trials within the Ten Mile dunes of MacKerricher State Park. The trials will consist of ten, 25'x100' plots. Heavy equipment will be used to remove the Ammophila on four of the plots; four other plots will be burned and treated with herbicide; and hand removal will be used on two plots. The experimental trials will provide information to enable California State Parks (CSP) to better control this invasive noxious weed. To avoid the potential for disturbance to western snowy plovers, permitted plover monitors will survey each day prior to operations. If plovers are observed within 100 yards of the operational area, an alternative non-plover work area will be selected and operations will be moved for the duration of plover presence. To avoid direct impacting activities away from sensitive areas. No work shall be conducted in areas of sensitive plant species.
