Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or <br />environments; and <br />f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation project and taking appropriate corrective measures <br />2. Mitigation plans. When mitigation is required, the applicant shall submit a mitigation plan. The <br />mitigation plan shall include all the following: <br />a. Mitigation sequencing. A description of reasonable efforts made to apply mitigation sequencing <br />pursuant to KCC $ 174.01.100.1 to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to critical areas and <br />buffers; <br />b. Mitigation details. <br />i. Documentation of consultation/coordination with appropriate agencies of expertise, as <br />applicable; <br />ii. A description of the anticipated impacts to the critical area and buffer, including impacts <br />to critical area functions and values; <br />iii. The mitigating actions proposed, including: type of mitigation proposed (e.g., on-site or <br />off-site); site selection criteria; identification of compensation goals; and identification of <br />critical area functions. <br />iv. The environmental goals and objectives of the mitigation, together with specific <br />measurable criteria and performance standards for evaluating whether or not the goals and <br />objectives of the mitigation project have been successfully attained; <br />v. An analysis of the likelihood of success of the mitigation project based on best available <br />science. <br />c.Construction details. The mitigation plan shall include written specifications, descriptions, and <br />drawings of the mitigation proposed, including: <br />i. Construction sequence, timing, and duration; <br />ii. Grading and excavation details; <br />iii. Erosion and sediment control features; and <br />iv. Planting plan speciffing plant species, quantities, locations, size, spacing, density, and <br />measures to protect and maintain plants until established. All plant species must be native <br />to the region. <br />d. Monitoring details. <br />i. A program for monitoring construction and assessing the outcome of the mitigation project, <br />including the schedule for site monitoring (for example, describe how monitoring may <br />occur in years l, 2,3,5,7 and 10 after site construction), and how the monitoring datawill <br />be evaluated to determine if the performance standards are being met. Monitoring reports <br />shall be submitted to the County to document milestones, successes, problems, and <br />contingency actions of the compensation project. The mitigation project shall be monitored <br />for a period necessary to establish that performance standards have been met, but not for <br />a period less than ten (10) years. Mitigation monitoring shall be the <br />Downloaded liom https://ecode360.com/Kl6857 on 2025-05-15
