The project includes placing hay bales around approximately 130 acres of degraded wetland and vegetation planting. These hay bales are to act as containment for dredged material placed for wetland restoration and increasing migratory bird nesting habitat. In some areas hay bales may need to be stacked and secured two (2) or three (3) high to provide proper containment of dredged material. After dredged material placement, vegetation will be planted to restore the wetland. Planting of vegetation will occur over the two (2) growing seasons post dredged material placement. Vegetation will be Spartina patens and Distichlis spicata, and possibly a smaller amount of Panicum. Vegetation the first growing season may require aerial or hydro seeding, based on consolidation of the dredged material. Vegetation the first growing season may also require the exterior edge only to be hand planted to provide stabilization, with interior planting occurring the second growing season. Minimal land access is available for heavy equipment at the placement site itself. The anticipated performance period of no more than 730 days from receipt of notice to proceed.
