Success of habitat rehabilitation at work sites following cleanup
Location of active migratory bird nests if construction cannot be avoided during migratory bird nesting seasons
Why is the project monitoring plant and wildlife habitat?
To ensure measures to minimize habitat disruption and rehabilitate affected areas are effective
What measures is the project taking to protect plant and wildlife habitat?
Consult with property owners prior to the cleanup of small-scale sites to identify sensitive features which may need protection (Port Hope Project)
Develop site-specific plans to rehabilitate work sites after waste removal
Relocate the storm water management pond away from the wooded area at the long-term waste management facility site
Develop protection and rehabilitation plans for the fen and beach vegetation at the waterworks site
Establish new plant communities at the waste management site to improve on pre-construction conditions
Avoid vegetation clearing of migratory bird habitat during breeding season; when not possible, develop a plan to reduce impacts on migratory birds or active nests
Apply dust suppression measures
Construct erosion and sediment control structures around cleared sites
How is the project monitoring plant and wildlife habitat?
Survey rehabilitated work sites to compare vegetation loss to environmental assessment predictions and update the Ecological Land Classification maps
Conduct a survey of active migratory bird nests if work occurs during nesting season
