(5)

“Restore and Manage Mitigation” is mitigation which re-establishes and maintains vernal pool wetland topography and hydrology, and native biological communities in areas where previously existing vernal pools have been altered to upland or open water.

(6)

“Steward” means the party responsible for long-term management and monitoring of the mitigation site after it has been released by the Department.

(7)

“Vernal Pool” means a seasonal wetland found on shallow soils over an impermeable hardpan layer or bedrock.

“Vernal Pool Function Ranking” is the average of the four function scores (scores) for the subject site relative to the scores reported for the 59 vernal pool complexes inventoried in appendix C-1 of the Agate Desert Vernal Pool Final Draft Function Assessment Methodology dated April 2007 (AD Inventory).
