4.b 3 SEV Vegetation Maintenance PlanVegitative Maintenance Plan
City of Scandia, SEV MN 1, LLC
Overview:
A Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan set will be submitted for the City’s review and
approval prior to any earth disturbing activities. At the conclusion of construction, disturbed
areas will be re-seeded, utilizing a low growth and low maintenance native seed mix. The
low-growth mix will not exceed twelve inches in height. We will be responsible for vegetation
control and weed management during the project’s operating life, and will mow the property
every six to eight weeks during the spring and summer months to manage vegetation growth.
We will preserve or maintain existing vegetation within the setback area.
The following table represents an example seed mix:
