Lower Moffett Creek Scour Project

Riparian vegetation will be planted at a minimum of one tree every 10 foot on center over the planting area in order to achieve a similar density to the adjacent vegetation. This planting strategy allows for some mortality while still achieving maximum survivorship of trees identified in Table 4 at the end of five years. The planting area will all be on native soil to ensure a higher survival rate. No tree planting will occur within 20’ of roads, bridges or any other areas effected by Caltrans routine maintenance. Planting will also avoid any areas that have overhead utility lines. The proposed planting area will not be affected by maintenance operations.
