following information detailing their activities:

landward of the 50-foot buffer have been stabilized and reseeded utilizing a riparian seed mix.

All foreign sediment has been removed from the stream bed down to native soil. Removed
sediment has been secured as required in this Notice of Violation.
#3. Erosion Control:
Additional erosion control measures were established once the restoration process was complete.
This included extending and deepening the diversion ditches along the perimeter of the gravel lot
to deter any future waterflow and/or sediment from the stream area. We [Athens Development

around the property to help direct future waterflow to the sediment basin.

All stream restoration activities were performed between 10/20/21 thru 10/29/21. An inspection
was performed by Division of Water Resources on November 30, 2021, after the stream was

inspection.
