The Restoration Mixes are generally used for wetland restoration sites, sedimentation ponds, and special projects. They contain greater than 25 species in the mix. To become certified to supply Restoration mixes the vendor must demonstrate that they have access to all of the Yellow Tag seed in the mixes, and must be familiar with the species contained in the mixes. This is because these mixes are very complicated and diverse and availability for some of the species is limited. Project personnel must check the seed test expiration date stated on the label tag to ensure that the seed supplied has been tested within the past nine months as per 3876.3.
