NOTES: 1.Bank planting & grading areas should be kept to a maximum12-foot width near sidewalks (Areas E and F). 2.Bank slopes shall be graded to 3H:1V where possible, otherwise 2H:1V. 3.If sediments from the creek bed are mechanically removed as part of regular park maintenance, ensure that 2 feet of bed cover remains next to the bottom of the gabions to keep them in place. 4.GABIONS: Nearest supplier of Macaferri gabions is CSI Geoturf – Contact: David Ringle. Phone: (231) W. Blue Star Drive, Traverse City, Michigan Technical support and CAD drawings (sometimes for free for public projects): Macaferri Gabions Ken Hughes/Tersea Lynch 2351 Versailles Rd., Ste. 302 Lexington, KY Telephone: See attached Macaferri specification sheet for gabions sizing and installation information. 5.See attached U.S. Army Corps of Engineers document SR-22, Gabions for Streambank Erosion Control for installation recommendations. 6.Cost provided for gabions is for galvanized gabions only (not PVC-coated). Cost includes shipping and enough wire for gabion assembly. Can also purchase “hog rings” for connection that can be easier to use/install- additional cost for 90 gabions ~ $ GRASSES: a)A suggested mesic (tolerant to dry and wet conditions) seed mix is attached. This seed mix has been provided by Borealis Seed Co., Marquette, MI. (906) b)Suggested application rate = 1 lb/3,000 sq.ft. Plant throughout vegetated area.

NOTES (continued): 8.SHRUBS: a)Suggested species of shrubs: red-osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera)red-osier dogwood ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius)ninebark upland willow (Salix humilis)upland willow pussy willow (Salix discolor)pussy willow b)*Shrubs planted on top of gabions should be balled stock for best establishment. Shrubs planted on bank can be balled stock or live stakes. Live stakes are less expensive, but balled stock establishes more quickly. Also live stakes look, initially less visually appealing. 9.TREES: a)Suggested species of trees: red maple (Acer rubrum)red maple quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) white or paper birch (Betula papyrifera)white or paper birch 10.EROSION BLANKET & STAKES: a)Curlex HV (High Velocity) Straw/Coconut mat or similar is recommended. b)6” wire stakes are recommended for fastening to bank. See manufacturer instructions for proper installation. c)Erosion blanket to be installed and secured after seeding and fertilization. 11.Suppliers of Trees, Shrubs and Erosion Mat: a)Lake Superior Tree Farm, Chassell,MI, (Contact: David Crouch) b)Great Lakes Nursery, Watervliet, MI, , c)Cold Stream Nursery, Free Soil, MI, , d)Engels Nursery, Fennville, MI, , e)*Follow vegetation supplier instructions for planting, fertilization and care. 10.Fertilizer should be applied to bank area when planting vegetation. 3/10/10 fertilizer is recommended. Slow-release fertilizers are not recommended. Follow manufacturer application instructions closely.
