I01-3 Landscape Plan
A plan for each final manufacturing site that outlines:
- Current maintenance practice for the facility grounds
- A description of how the site will be transformed over the 3-Year certification period to:
- Mature and evolve to increasingly emulate the functionality of the indigenous ecosystem with regard to density, biodiversity, plant succession, water use, and nutrient needs
- Provide wildlife and avian habitat appropriate to the factory’s location through the use of native and naturalized plants and topsoil
- Operate without the use of petrochemical fertilizers or pesticides.
Photos should be included as relevant.
