The riparian forest along Sallow Creek is the most valuable vegetation type in the Project Area and is mostly outside the layout. The reclaimed mine grassland is heavily invaded by autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) and multiflora rose; Canada thistle, a state noxious weed, is scattered on field edges. 4. Vegetation management recommendations • Seed the arrays with a low-growing native seed mix with pollinator-friendly flowering species, as ODNR's solar guidance recommends, and keep a vegetation management plan for the life of the Project. • Treat autumn olive and multiflora rose before grading in the East Block, and control noxious weeds under the Ohio noxious weed law. • Limit tree clearing to the 38 acres in the draft layout; avoid the riparian forest and the W-3 wetland stand. • Revegetate disturbed ground within 14 days of final grading, as the stormwater permit requires.
