§ 24.35.090. Geologic hazards—Minimum standards for special reports—Revegetation plan.

A.

The revegetation plan shall include a detailed site plan drawn to scale showing the placement of all plants to be used, the quantities of each species, distance on-center for planting, list of all species to be used with both botanical and common names, size of the nursery stock to be used, and any details for planting procedures including timing and maintenance. Once the revegetation plan has been installed, an as-built shall be submitted to the County that shows the results of the installation including any necessary modifications and reasons for those modifications.

B.

The revegetation plan shall be prepared by a person who is knowledgeable about regional soil and climatic conditions as well as native plant materials suitable for installation on or near an erosion, landslide, or marine bluff hazard area or associated buffers.

C.

The revegetation plan shall use a predominance of native, non invasive species, appropriate to the area. It shall document why the species chosen for the site will be appropriate, will function in the capacity as designed (i.e., soil and bluff stabilization, or runoff distribution), and will be likely to survive in the location with a minimum of maintenance once established.

D.

The approval authority may waive the requirement for the revegetation plan if it can be demonstrated that disturbance of the site is so minor that it will regenerate on its own within a reasonable time or that the size of the project does not necessitate such plan.
