3.3	PLANTING

A.	Handling and Setting:  Move balled and burlapped and container-grown plants only by supporting the ball or container.  Set plants on hand compacted layer of planting soil and hold in position until soil has been firmly placed around roots or ball.  Set plant crown 3 to 4 inches above surrounding grade.  Replace balled plant whose balls are cracked or broken either before or during the planting process.  Trees shall be planted with the same south orientation to which they have been growing.
1.	Provide mulching material over entire earth saucer and berm surface around plants 3 inches deep.  Keep mulch out of the crowns of shrubs.

C.	Bare-Root Stock:  Plant so roots are arranged in a natural position.  Remove damaged roots with clean cut.  Apply tree wound dressing to cuts larger than 1/2 inch in diameter.  Carefully work topsoil among roots.  Ramp remainder of backfill, place mulch, and water.

D.	Container Grown Stock:  Remove from container to prevent damage to plant or root system.  Cut root ball vertically in two to three places with sharp knife before planting.

E.	Fertilization:  After establishment of finished grade around plants, top dress all pit and bed areas with fertilizer at the rate one pound per 100 ft^2 of area.  When fertilizer adheres to plants, carefully remove it by flushing.

3.4	PESTICIDE APPLICATION

A.	General: At the Contractor’s option pesticides may be used if required.  For liquid application of chemicals, hydraulic equipment shall have leakproof tanks and a positive agitation method.  Calibrate and meter equipment so that application of chemicals in specified amounts can be determined.

Make daily reports to the Contracting Officer stating areas treated with each chemical, the quantity applied, and spray mixture of formulation used.  Application at each site shall be under the supervision of a certified applicator.  Apply so damage will not result to personnel or property from either direct spray or drifting of chemicals.  Contractor shall take precautions so that pesticide drift or runoff shall not be allowed to reach the lake.

C.	Safety:  Apply in well ventilated areas.  Avoid inhalation, injection, or spilling on clothing or skin.  Wear protective clothing according to the manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet recommendations.  Personnel shall not be exposed to pesticides exceeding the exposure levels recommended in the most stringent of the following:  29 CFR 1910.1000, or the manufacturer's material safety data sheet.
