Document Description
Removal of nononative invasive plant species (e.g., red sesbania, giant reed, black locust, tree-of-heaven). Removal methods include manual removal (e.g., chain saws, weed wrenches, light-enhibiting material), mechanical removal (e.g., string trimmer), and chemical removal (e.g., herbicide). Herbicide application may include foliar spray, cut-stump and paint, and/or stem injection with appropriate formualtions (e.g., aquatic) of glyphosate, imazapyr, and/or triclopyr). Maintenance and removal of nonnative invasive plant species will improve wildlife and fish habitat, reduce localized flooding, and reduce vegetation fire fuel loads.
Employing environmental protection measures described in the "Invasive Plant Species Control and Management Plan for Arcade Creek, Sacramento, County, California" (2008) reduces the reasonable possibility that the activity will have environmental impacts due to unusual circumstances.
