Costs are based on the cost to do this same work <br />at Delta Ponds in early 2009 with some minor adjustments, based on phone conversations <br />with Second Growth Inc. Namely tree protection costs were increased to reflect increased <br />costs of metal fencing and posts. <br />a Non-bench planting: $199,350 <br />The design plans included with this application packet show a draft planting plan for the <br />proposed planting on the 16.4 acres of existing riparian habitat where weed control will take <br />place.
