Q

This document suggests conducting a public consultation program appropriate to the scale of the project when working on native prairie and parkland grasslands. With whom should you be consulting specifically?

A

land owner or land manager

20
Q

What professional does the Manual recommend companies retain to help mitigate problems when developing on native prairie and parkland grasslands?

A

qualified Environmental specialist

21
Q

Summarize #9 in your own words.

A

Companies should be well informed

Staff educated and trained in native and parkland issues

Everyone in the project has the responsibility to implement environmental protection values

22
Q

How do you protect the native prairie and grasslands soils other than by using minimal-disturbance methods

A

Soil must be conserved and replaced

this Includes soil loss from wind and water erosion

23
Q

When it comes to revegetation a reclamation site on native prairie what is the long term Goal?

A

monitoring should be conducted until the proper native plant community has been reestablished

24
Q

How do you achieve the goal in #21 above?

A
  1. Erosion control,
  2. revegetation success and sustainability, and
  3. invasive non-native plant management
