City of Pocatello Policy

 

Successful Revegetation

 

 

 

Revegetation is defined as: 

The species seeded shall include adaptable perennial species that will grow on the site and provide basic soil and watershed protection.

 

 

Revegetation shall be considered successful when:

The revegetation has achieved 70 percent of the predevelopment vegetative ground cover. If the predevelopment vegetative ground cover is unknown, the ground cover of an adjacent undisturbed area that is representative of the predeveloped ground cover will be used as a standard. Also, the vegetation has survived three growing seasons following the last seeding, fertilization or irrigation, or the City determines that the revegetation work has been satisfactorily completed within practical limits where reseeding has occurred and the vegetation has survived one growing season.
