| Signs of Plant Stress Observed: | ||||||||
| Sign of Plant Stress Observed | Species in which it was observed | % cover of plants showing signs of stressr | Notes: potential cause of stress, other observations (e.g. radiation from adjacent glass curtain windows, inadequate nutrient or water levels, heat, wind, pests, disease) | |||||
| Signs of Plant Stress Observed: | Yes | No | ||||||
| Is it necessary to cut dried vegetation or remove thatch? I.e. is dried vegetation or thatch so thick that it is negatively affecting roof vegetation health? | ||||||||
| Additional vegetation notes or action items: | ||||||||
| GROWING MEDIUM AND DRAINAGE | ||||||||
| Item inspected | Y/N | Notes – e.g. what appears to be causing problems? Description of problems | Action Needed and deadline | |||||
| Gullies or other signs of erosion or sedimentation observed? | ||||||||
| Evidence of wind scour? | ||||||||
| Ponding or soggy spots observed? | ||||||||
| Clogged, misaligned, or ineffective drains | ||||||||
| Draw areas where problems were observed on attached as-built plan sheet | ||||||||
| Media Texture and Thickness Observed: | ||||||||
| Media Texture and Thickness Observed: | ||||||||
| Additional soil needed? | ||||||||
| Soil test performed for nutrient content in past 12 months? | Yes | No | ||||||
| (see Task 6 for more information on green roof soil tests) | ||||||||
| If yes, attach results, if not, perform soil test | ||||||||
| Based on soil test results and condition of vegetation, is fertilization needed? | Yes | No | ||||||
| ROOT DEVELOPMENT | ||||||||
| At representative locations, excavate to the depth of the separation fabric and observe the root-zone conditions: | ||||||||
|
||||||||
| Show representative locations and observations on as-built plan sheet and attach to this checklist | ||||||||
| IRRIGATION | ||||||||
| Do any broken drip or supply lines, or any other irrigation components need repair? | ||||||||
| Is there evidence of uneven irrigation levels, such as desiccated media or marshy conditions? If so, note on as-built plan. | ||||||||
| Does irrigation regime need to be adjusted? | ||||||||
