		Description: On-the-ground work associated with this work element cannot proceed until this milestone is complete. Milestone is complete when final documentation is received from BPA environmental compliance staff.
B		Mow non-native vegetation	4/1/2018	10/31/2018	Concluded	Amy Mai	9/25/2017 11:51:59 AM
		Description: CCT staff will mow an approximately 1.0 m x 1.0 m (3.0 ft x 3.0 ft) area around each planting at least once every 4 weeks from April through October.
C		Apply herbicides to non-native vegetation.	4/1/2018	10/31/2018	Active	Amy Mai	9/25/2017 11:51:59 AM
		Description: Following mowing, CCT staff possessing a valid pesticide applicators license will apply an appropriate herbicide (one that is effective for the target species and can be applied in the riparian zone) with either a backpack sprayer or with a quad equipped with a boom-style sprayer. The applicator will determine the correct rate of application based on the herbicide to be applied and the application equipment to be used. Herbicide application will occur monthly from April through October.
D		Water plantings	5/1/2018	9/30/2018	Concluded	Amy Mai	9/25/2017 11:52:00 AM
		Description: CCT staff will water all plantings at the site. Water will be sprayed directly on the plant, as well as at the base to provide water to the roots. Plants in the Toe and Bank zones will be watered once every 20 days from May through September at a rate of 3.8 L/min/plant (1.0 gallon/min/plant). The minimum volume of water applied will be 1.9 L/plant (0.5 gallons). Plants in the Overbank, Transitional, and Upland zones will be watered once every 10 days from May through September at a rate of 3.8 L/min/plant (1.0 gallon/min/plant). The minimum volume of water applied will be 1.9 L/plant (0.5 gallons).
