| 53. Remove Vegetation |
Active |
Removal of one or more plant species, or a number of individuals of a plant species, by mechanical, biological, and/or chemical means, or by controlled burn.
Target species are often exotic or non-native plants, naturalized plants, or undesirable native plants, all of which may be considered to be noxious, invasive or "weeds". Includes the removal of both aquatic and terrestrial plants as well as tree stand manipulation due to encroachment or to create forage openings. |

To calculate the length of estuarine bank habitat in miles treated add the length treated on both sides of the main channel when both sides are treated. Add one side when only one side is treated.
-Estuarine: Habitat that is part of a semi-enclosed coastal body of water that is subject to the ebb and flow of tides, with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the nearshore marine zone. This includes habitat impacted by the highest high and lowest low tides of a year. Estuaries are environments whose pH, salinity, and water levels are subject to the ebb and flow of tides, and the physical and chemical properties of the river that feeds the estuary and the ocean from which it derives its salinity. This habitat includes floodplain/riparian habitat subject to inundation from the tides. |

| 197. Maintain/Remove Vegetation |
Active |
Maintain or remove all or part of an aquatic or terrestrial plant community. Use this WE for your first year of removing vegetation or any subsequent years of maintenance on the same land. Work can include different, or the same, treatment techniques as in previously treated areas.
Activities include: 1) Removing undesirable exotic, non-native, or naturalized plants, generally considered noxious, invasive, or weed species. Work may involve one or more plant species, and includes mechanical, biological, and/or chemical means, as well as controlled burns. 2) Reducing/controlling competing undesirable or native vegetation by tilling, mowing, scalping, addition of mats, fertilization, herbicide application, tree/shrub thinning, and/or controlled burns. 3) Preventing or reducing animal damage with browse repellents, tree tubes/protectors, etc. 4) Maintaining or enhancing the health of target species or ecosystem by irrigation, limbing/thinning, sun protectors, controlled burns, and other activities. 5) Inter-planting or re-seeding an existing site if needed due to mortality or lack of vigor .
Work to restore Shrub-Steppe habitats anywhere in the basin should follow the Shrub-Steppe and Grassland Restoration Manual for the Columbia River Basin: http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01330/wdfw01330.pdf. |

| 198. Maintain Vegetation |
Active |
Maintain planted or pre-existing vegetation through physical, chemical, mechanical, and/or biological activities such as scalping, installing mats or mulch, mowing, irrigating, fertilizing, applying herbicide(s), burning, using Integrated Pest Management (IPM), preventing or reducing animal damage (browse repellents, tree tubes). This includes using different, or the same, treatment techniques in previously treated areas the second year, or later, of planting.
Vegetation maintenance activities which occur during the first (initial) year of planting (such as installing tree tubes, fertilizing, animal repellents, etc.) should be a milestone under 47. Plant Vegetation. |

Use during the initial year of treating a site if removing one or more plant species, or a number of individuals of a plant species, by mechanical, biological, and/or chemical means, or by controlled burn.
Target species are often exotic or non-native plants, naturalized plants, or undesirable native plants, all of which may be considered to be noxious, invasive or "weeds".
