SMG-9.4.1.5 Vegetation<br />

For the most part, vegetation will consist of either perennial rye or fescue grass.<br />

There may be other forms of vegetation that would provide comparable or improved<br />

treatment effectiveness with less maintenance requirements. One type of grass is<br />

Oioi (Apodasmia similis) that is a very dense grass that grows by rhizome and can<br />

become a thick filter media that does not require mowing. SMG-9 Figure 5 Oioi<br />

Vegetation Placement shows an Oioi swale at the Auckland Botanic Gardens to<br />

promote metals uptake whilst having a reduced maintenance requirement.<br />
