HMMP Success Criteria Clause Samples

HMMP Success Criteria. The HMMP shall identify the success criteria for the habitats specified above and shall be compared against an appropriate reference site with as good or better quality habitat then the pre-project impact site. The reference site shall be approved by CDFW. The success criteria shall include percent cover (both basal and vegetation), species diversity, abundance, and any other measures of success deemed appropriate by CDFW. Success criteria shall be separated into vegetative layers (tree, shrub, grass, and forb), and each layer shall be compared to the success criteria of the reference site to ensure one species or layer does not disproportionally dominate a site, but instead mimic the conditions of the reference site. The Planting Plan shall have adequate detail regarding the sampling plan so that it can be duplicated by different people and shall include a sample data collection sheet that shows appropriate data to be collected per the proposed sampling methodology. Permittee shall be responsible for any cost incurred during the restoration/mitigation or in subsequent corrective measures.
