up: regular mowing, repair of check dams and othermeasures to mai
ntain the hydraulic efficiency of the filter strip and a dense,
healthy grass cover. Grass filter strips and boundary zones must be mowed at least twice a year to prevent woody growth. A
conservation easementmaybe required to ensurethatthe vegetated filterstripareaand anynewly establishedorrestor

cover may not be cleared. Also, a responsible party should ensure that routine forest improvements are made over time (i.e.,
thinning,invasiveplantremoval,etc.).
