Tryon Equestrian Partners (TEP) applied for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 404 Permit (Action Id. No. 2013- 02262) and a N.C. Division of Water Resources (DWR) 401 Water Quality Certification (Project No. 13-1200) to impact streams for the construction of the Tryon International Equestrian Facility (TIEC), in Polk County, North Carolina. Compensatory mitigation for impacts to streams is described in the mitigation plan for the Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigaton Project (Phases 1 and 2). The attached MY annual monitoring report documents the first year of data collection for Phases 1 and 2 of the Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project (Site). Should you have any questions regarding the Monitoring Year 1 report and Corrective Action Plan please do not hesitate to contact me at 828-698-9800. Respectfully, Alea Tuttle, P.W.S. Project Biologist R. Clement Riddle, P.W.S Principal 145 71 Avenue West, Suite B Hendersonville, NC 28792 828-698-9800 Tel Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project Corrective Action Plan January 8, 2021 This corrective action plan developed by Clearwater Environmental Consultants Inc. (CEC) includes the scope and timeline for remaining work necessary to meet the construction phase requirements for Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project (Site), and to address Areas of Concern (AOC) identified during the Monitoring Year 1 (MY1) period which warrant maintenance. The project area is located off of NC Highway 9 in the town of Green Creek (Figures 1 and 2). The main components of the plan include: (1) modification of fence lines, (2) signage installed to the Conservation Easement boundary (3) a supplemental planting plan for low stem density areas (4) invasive plant treatment (5) revision to the Conservation Easement (CE) Boundary due to revised placement of stream crossing on UT3 and (6) repairs to sections of stream channel which are eroding or unstable. The Financial Assurances is pending Corps review and comments on the TIEC proposed DRAFT Letter of Credit which as submitted to the Corps on June 17, 2020. 1.0 Modification of Fence Lines The As -Built Report for the Site includes sealed record drawings produced by Ben Patton Land Surveying, PLLC. The drawings indicate the locations of conservation easement boundaries and installed fence lines. Figure 3 indicates locations where the installed fence line protrudes inside the conservation easement boundary, thereby violating the restrictions of the conservation easement. Corrective action includes moving the fence line to outside the conservation easement boundary. This will be performed by a licensed contractor and professional land surveyor. The timeline for completion of the modification of the fence line is April 2021. 2.0 Signage installed to the conservation easement boundary Guidance set forth by the North Carolina Interagency Review Team's (NCIRT) "Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update" — October 24, 2016 (USACE 2016) indicates that the final as -built survey include verification of the installation of conservation easement boundary markers. The easement boundary markers were not installed as described in the construction specifications. Corrective action includes installing signage at all conservation easement corners and along boundary lines at 100' intervals as described per the technical specifications for as -built survey produced by Wildlands Engineering, Inc. on March 9, 2018. Modification to the placement of wooden posts, fence lines and metal t-posts (described above in Section 1.0) will occur prior to the placement of signage. The non -fenced areas of the easement will require a stakeout survey, to be performed by a professional land surveyor to locate and monument easement corners and boundaries. Signage will be placed on existing installed wooden witness posts/fence posts and t-posts with additional posts added as necessary in the non -fenced areas of the easement as described below. The timeline for completion of the installation of signage is April 2021. Technical specification for As -Built survey. Wildlands Engineering 2018: Contractor agrees to install wooden witness posts and signage at all conservation easement corners as follows: • Treated wood post; 6" round, 8' long • Treated to a minimum of 0.4 PCF • All posts shall be installed 2 '-3 ' below ground (wider end set in the ground) • Place post within 6" of the conservation easement corner • Attach conservation easement signs (to be provided by Owner) with rust resistant bolts, nails or screws, 4 per post • Each sign shall be placed parallel to the conservation easement boundary line, facing away from the conservation area with the corners wrapped around the post and secured • Upper 6" of each post shall be coated with a water based tree marking paint (Nelson tree marking paint 6-8 year or similar) including post top; signage shall be installed just beneath yellow paint • Each post shall be installed plumb and set solidly in the ground to prevent future movement • Contractor agrees to use cement if needed to add stability as follows: 40-80 lb bag of cement per post; use for unconsolidated and sandy soils where necessary to add stability and prevent future movement; all posts must be stable, complete and approved by Engineer Contractor agrees to install metal witness posts and signage along all conservation easement boundary lines (i.e., between corners) as follows: • In non -wooded areas set 6-foot T-Post (tops painted yellow) at no more than 100' intervals along boundary lines • In wooded areas where trees on the subject property can be marked, blaze and mark conservation easement lines. Conservation easement lines shall be marked with conservation easementsigns (to beprovided by Owner) and blazed with yellow paint (Nelson tree marking paint 6-8 year or similar). 3.0 Supplemental Planting Plan Bare root planting stock was installed on site during April of 2019. The baseline vegetation monitoring for the site was performed in July 2019. The total overall planted density representative for the site was 563 stems/acre, which exceeds the interim measure of vegetative success of at least 320 planted stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year. However, Permanent vegetation monitoring plots (PVP) 1, 4, 5 and 6 do not individually meet the interim vegetative success criteria. In addition, Temporary vegetation monitoring plot (TVP) 5 did not meet stem density criteria. Stem density and survivability was observed low in the vicinity of these vegetation monitoring plots. Figure 3 shows the location of vegetation monitoring plots, and recommended areas for supplemental planting. These planting areas are approximate and may be modified following the MY1 vegetation monitoring. Corrective action includes installation of supplemental bare root stock in areas indicated on CCPV Figures 4.0-4.5 shown to have low survivability of planted bare root stems. The proposed supplemental planting areas have a combined area of 4.4 acres. In addition, areas of bare soil totaling approximately 0.3 acres are indicated. Supplemental planting will include re -seeding of the bare areas, and planting of bare roots. Approximately 1,430 bare root stems will be installed to meet the MY3 density goal of 320 stems per acre. The timeline for completion of the installation of supplemental planting is March 2021 4.0 Invasive Plant Control Approximate invasive plant control areas are shown on CCPV Figures 4.0-4.5. Invasive plants observed on site include kudzu, cocklebur, Chinese privet, Chinaberry and tree of heaven. Only mechanical removal of invasive species such as kudzu and Chinese privet were completed during the As -built. Corrective action includes chemical treatment of invasive exotic plants with herbicide following recommended procedures for herbicide application at aquatic sites within conservation areas. The work will be performed by SM Soil and Water Solutions, with oversight from CEC staff biologists. The invasive plant management activities for 2020 have been completed. Additional follow up management activities are anticipated for 2021 and 2022. 5.0 Revision to Conservation Easement Boundary A Conservation Easement (CE) on the property is held by the Polk County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to permanently protect the improved aquatic habitats and riparian buffers and restrict future activities that might otherwise compromise the functions and services of the aquatic resources. The permanent conservation easement recorded January 23, 2017 extends at least 50 feet beyond the top of both banks on all UTs. Within the conservation easement, the riparian buffers are planted with native trees and shrubs in order to provide post -construction bank stability, erosion control and riparian habitat enhancement. The ford crossing on UT3 was modified during construction to avoid unnecessary tree removal. The extended gravel road for the UT3 crossing extending to the southwest penetrates the boundary of the conservation easement by approximately 30 feet. Corrective action: The crossing is to be maintained in this location, therefore a modification to the 2017 conservation easement boundary held by SWCD is necessary. All site protection instruments require 60-day advance notification to the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) prior to any action to void, amend, or modify the document. No such action would take place unless approved by the Corps and DWR. The revised boundary will be surveyed and marked, and a new property boundary plate generated by a professional land surveyor. The timeline for completion of the CE boundary revision is April 2021. 6.0 Repairs to Stream Channel Visual assessment of the Harmon Dairy Mitigation Project performed on August 7, 2020 field walk revealed areas of erosion and instability within the bed and banks, which warrant corrective action. Areas of Concern (AOC) 1 through 11 are outlined in Section 8.0 of the Harmon Dairy Mitigation Project Monitoring Year 1 (MY1) report. The stationing for each repair location is approximate and subject to natural variation and will require adjustment in the field according to best professional judgement of the construction engineer. Corrective action: Repairs to Areas of Concern 1-11 will be completed using coir matting and live stakes to stabilize eroding banks, with structure repairs performed as necessary by and with small earthmoving equipment. The timeline for completion of the stream repairs is estimated to be completed during the MY2 period in 2021.

Monitoring Year 1 Report October 2020 1.0 Project Background 1.1 Project Location, Setting, and Directions The site is located in the Piedmont physiographic province (NCGS 2004) in Polk County, North Carolina. The site is accessed from NC Highway 9 in the town of Green Creek (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The site is bordered by Mary's Branch to the west, and streams on the site are unnamed tributaries (UT) to Mary's Branch, which drains to the Broad River (HUC 03050105). To access the site from Asheville, take Interstate 26 East for 36 miles to Exit 67. Follow US-74 East toward Columbus. Take Exit 167 and turn south onto NC Highway 9. After approximately 7 miles, turn right onto Harmon Dairy Lane. Harmon Dairy Lane ends at the dairy. The project reaches are located to the west of the dairy barns. 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives 1.2.1 Project Objectives- Phase 1 The resource functions of the stream restoration project address needed improvements to the watershed in several ways. The existing stream at the site was degraded due to prior channelization, habitat alteration, excess sediment from bank erosion, limited riparian buffers, and livestock trampling. The project addresses these impairments and improves watershed functions by restoring approximately 1,126 linear feet of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Mary's Branch. The primary goal of the stream restoration project is to return the project reach to a stable, well vegetated, and naturally functioning condition. Specific stream restoration objectives include: • improving bank stability, • enhancing aquatic and terrestrial habitats, • removing invasive exotic plant species, and • establishing more robust and wider vegetative buffers, and installing livestock fencing around these riparian buffers. 1.2.2 Project Objectives- Phase 2 The stream restoration project addresses needed improvements to the watershed in several ways. The existing streams at the site were degraded due to prior habitat alteration, excess sediment from bank erosion, limited riparian buffers, and livestock trampling. The proposed project addresses these impairments and improve watershed functions by restoring, enhancing and preserving 6,039 LF of four unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Mary's Branch. The primary goal of the stream restoration project is to return the project reaches to stable, well vegetated, and naturally functioning conditions. Specific stream restoration objectives include: • improving bank stability, • enhancing aquatic and terrestrial habitats, • removing invasive exotic plant species, • stabilizing upland gullies • establishing more robust and wider vegetative buffers, and installing livestock fencing around these riparian buffers. Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project page 1 of 21 Monitoring Year 1 Report October 2020 2.0 Project Structure, Restoration Type and Approach 2.1 Site Protection Instrument A Conservation Easement (CE) on the property is held by the Polk County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to permanently protect the improved aquatic habitats and riparian buffers and restrict future activities that might otherwise compromise the functions and services of the aquatic resources (Attachment A). The permanent conservation easement recorded January 23, 2017 extends at least 50 feet beyond the top of both banks on all UTs. Within the conservation easement, the riparian buffers are planted with native trees and shrubs in order to provide post - construction bank stability, erosion control and riparian habitat enhancement. All site protection instruments require 60-day advance notification to the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) prior to any action to void, amend, or modify the document. No such action would take place unless approved by the Corps and DWR. 2.2 Project Structure The project is implemented according to the 2017 Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project Mitigation Plan (Mitigation Plan). The Mitigation Plan consists of two phases proposing a combined 7,256 linear feet of stream to provide 5,005 credits of stream mitigation. An overview map of the phases and types of mitigation (i.e. restoration, enhancement, preservation) is included in Figure 3. Below is a Summary Table for Projected Mitigation Credits for Phases 1 and 2 (Table 1). Phase one consists of Restoration and Enhancement II on the UT1 to Mary's Branch. Phase II consists of Restoration, Enhancement I, Enhancement II and Preservation of UT2, UT3, UT4 and UT5 to Mary's Branch. Both phases were constructed simultaneously and with final earthwork and planting completed in 2019.

Success criteria were defined in the 2017 Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project Mitigation Plan (Mitigation Plan). For each defined success criteria, quantitative (e.g. bank height ratio) or qualitative (e.g. observations of fine sediment deposition on the floodplain), data is measured throughout the monitoring period. Year to year comparisons for the various parameters will allow adaptive management to be implemented early on in the monitoring period if necessary, in order to reduce the risk of widespread problems. 3.1 Channel Stability and Morphology 3.1.1 Dimension • Riffle bank height ratios (BHR) shall not exceed 1.2. Changes in BHR shall not exceed 10% in year to year comparisons. Entrenchment ratio (ER) for riffles in reaches where ER is corrected through design and construction shall be no less than 1.4. Changes in ER shall not exceed 10% in year to year comparisons. 3.2 Hydrology 3.2.1 Bankfull Events At least 90% of the stream bed and banks shall remain stable through four bankfull events, occurring in separate years, during monitoring years 1 through 7. 3.2.2 Continuous Flow Continuous surface water flow must be documented for 30 consecutive days at any point during the monitoring year. 3.3 Vegetation 3.3.1 Woody Stem Plantings Density of 320 live, planted stems/acre at year 3; 260 live, planted stems/acre at year 5; 210 live planted stems/acre at year 7. Trees must average 7 feet in height at year 5 and 10 feet in height at year 7. No more than 50% of a plot stem count shall be a single species. 3.4 Visual Assessment 3.4.1 Encroachment 100% of fencing and signage to remain intact. No encroachments shall be made on the easement. Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project page 4 of 21 Monitoring Year 1 Report October 2020 3.5 Schedule and Reporting Monitoring reports will be submitted to USACE and DWR by December 31 of each monitoring year. Based on the (NCIRT) "Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update), the monitoring reports will include the following: • Project background which includes project objectives, project structure, restoration type and approach, location and setting, history and background • Map of project approach and structure • Map with monitoring features and any problem areas indicated • Assessment of the stability of the stream • Annual photographs of monitoring features • Assessment of vegetation • Assessment of hydrology • Recommended maintenance or corrective actions • Any other observations from visual assessment such as indications of encroachment or wildlife Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project page 5 of 21 Monitoring Year 1 Report October 2020 4.0 Methods The ecological criteria for monitoring are linked to project success performance standards established in the Harmon Dairy Stream Restoration Mitigation Plan (2017) and discussed in Section 3.0 of this document. Evaluation of project success utilizes industry standard methods described in detail below. Project success will be evaluated annually for 7 years per the proposed guidance set forth by the North Carolina Interagency Review Team's (NCIRT) "Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update" - October 24, 2016 (USACE 2016). 4.1 Channel Stability and Morphology 4.1.1 Dimension Cross -Sectional Stream surveys follow the methodology contained in the USDA forest service manual "Stream Channel Reference Sites (Harrelson, et al 1994). Cross-section surveys were conducted On September 4, 2020 and September 23, 2020. All cross-section monitoring locations were recorded with a sub -meter accuracy Trimble GeoXT GPS device and monumented with a PVC stake and rebar set in concrete. Cross-section surveys were performed by Clearwater Environmental Consultants (CEC) using a laser level, and laser sensor attached to stadia rod, and measuring tape. Permanent cross sections were established at ten locations within R and EI reaches, representing approximately 1/2 riffles, and 1/2 pools. Cross section locations were established according to best professional judgement. Cross section data points were collected at all major changes in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, water surface and channel thalweg locations. Stream channel cross section dimensions and associated parameters were calculated using "The Reference Reach Spreadsheet" version 4.3 L developed by Dan Mecklenburg. (Ohio Department of Natural Resources). 4.1.4 Photo Documentation Photographic reference points (photo -points) were used to visually document stream conditions and include both a downstream facing photo and an upstream facing photo at each photo reference point. Photo -points were established at 30 stations along the entirety of the project streams. All photo -points were recorded with a sub -meter accuracy Trimble GeoXT GPS device and monumented with a PVC stake The photographer will make a reasonable attempt to capture the same perspective in each photo -point location annually. 4.2 Hydrology 4.2.1 Bankfull Events Crest gauges were installed on riffle cross -sections XS3, XS6 and XS 10 will be visually inspected to document the occurrence of bankfull events. Photographic documentation of recently deposited rack lines were recorded as indicators of bankfull flow events. 4.2.2 Continuous Flow Monitoring Streamflow stage will be monitored to document 30 days of continuous flow using a continuous stage recorder. An automated level -logger will be set to record every 2 hours. Evidence of channel flow will be documented with a photo and the stream level will be manually recorded at each data download. Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project page 6 of 21 Monitoring Year 1 Report October 2020 4.3 Vegetation Vegetation monitoring was conducted during the As -Built Monitoring and will be conducted in post -construction monitoring years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Both Permanent Vegetation Plots (PVP) and Temporary Vegetation Plots (TVP) were established. PVPs will be monitored in utilizing methods established by the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008) and the 2016 USACE Stream and Wetland Mitigation Guidance. For all monitoring plots all woody stems, including exotic and invasive species, were recorded. Exotic/invasive species will not count toward success of performance standards. A total of seven permanent vegetation plots (PVP) and five temporary vegetation plots (TVP) were established within the 14.14 AC planted area. Locations of PVP amd TVP were chosen in the field to capture the heterogeneity of the species composition and spacing within the planted area. Permanent vegetation plots were established by choosing a random origin point, with standard 10 meter by 10 meter square with plants located on an XY axis. The vegetation plot corners have been marked and are recoverable either through field identification or with the use of a GPS unit. Reference photographs were taken at the origin looking diagonally across the plot to the opposite corner and will be repeated each monitoring year. Individual PVP data recorded will include woody stem identification, height, density, vigor, damage (if any), and percent survival. Planted woody stems will be marked during assessment as needed based on a known origin so they can be found in succeeding monitoring years. Mortality will be determined from the difference between the baseline year's living planted stems and the current year's living planted stems. Temporary vegetation plots (TVP) are, using a circular or 100 m2 plot. These temporary plots will be reestablished in different and random locations throughout the planted conservation easement in monitoring years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. These locations will be indicated on plan view maps for the corresponding monitoring assessment year. Temporary vegetation plot assessments will document the number of stems, species type, and stem height within the plot. Please refer to the Current Condition Plan View (CCPV) Figures 4.0 through 4.5 for the permanent and temporary vegetation monitoring locations. 4.4 Visual Assessment Visual assessment will be performed annually to determine locations of exotic and nuisance vegetation, and locations of any fence damage, vegetation damage, or boundary encroachments. Any areas of concern will be mapped and included in the annual monitoring report. 5.0 Adaptive Management Plan Maintenance of the newly constructed channels and all structures associated with the restoration would be accomplished by Tryon Equestrian Partners (TEP) if the monitoring parameters for restored streams exceed the range of natural variability established during the 7-year monitoring period. Replacement planting would be performed by TEP if stem counts fall below 320 stems per acre during the first 3 years, 260 stems per acre through year 5, or 210 stems per acre through year 7. If any portion of the mitigation project fails to meet the specified performance standards in a monitoring year, the reason(s) for this failure would be determined and a corrective action plan Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project page 7 of 21 Monitoring Year 1 Report October 2020 (which would include proposed actions, a schedule, and monitoring plan) would be prepared. TEP will also install and maintain the livestock fence for seven years. The landowner will be responsible for maintaining the fence thereafter if the adjacent land uses include livestock. If it is believed that corrective action to a problem area is not warranted, the corrective action plan would state the reasons. Continued monitoring of the problem area may be required. Project maintenance would be performed as described above. If, during the course of annual monitoring it is determined the site's ability to achieve site performance standards is jeopardized, the applicant would notify the Corps and DWR of the need to develop an Adaptive Management Plan. Once the Adaptive Management Plan is prepared and finalized the applicant would: • Notify the Corps and DWR. • Revise performance standards, maintenance requirements, and monitoring requirements as necessary and/or required by the Corps and DWR. • Obtain other permits as necessary. • Implement the Adaptive Management Plan. • Provide the Corps and DWR with documentation of corrective action. This report would depict the extent and nature of the work performed. Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project page 8 of 21 Monitoring Year 1 Report October 2020 6.0 Monitoring Year 1 (MY 1) Data Assessment MYO baseline data collection was conducted in July -August 2019. The first annual monitoring assessment (MY I) was conducted in August and September 2020. The Site will be monitored for a total of seven years, with the final monitoring activities scheduled for 2026. 6.1 Channel Stability and Morphology Monitoring Year 1 morphological data collection was conducted in August 2020. Please refer to Attachment B for cross section comparison plots photographs. 6.1.1 Profile Stream profile was assessed visually during annual monitoring. No additional longitudinal surveys will be performed unless visual monitoring indicates a need for remedial actions. MY1 visual monitoring indicated changes to profile which warrant maintenance activities and will involve modifications to the profile along stations. These are modifications to grade control structures and riffles described in the Areas of Concern (AOC) in Section 8.0. 6.1.2 Dimension Generally, as -built cross -sectional dimensions match design parameters with minor variations. Noted differences are still appropriate for the channel type. Table 5 indicates the as -built cross- section dimensions. Tables 6-8 compare typical design cross section dimensions to MY1 dimensions. Aggradation was apparent in cross sections 3,4,7 and 8. Sediment mobility in the streambed in the first year of establishment is typical, and is expected to reach equilibrium as more mature riparian vegetation develops over the monitoring period. The right control pin for Cross - Section 10 was unable to be recovered during the MY1 survey. A cross section survey was performed at the approximate location of the original, however dimensions differ due to the lack of control. The original right control pin location will be located and monumented by a surveyor during MY2, and geomorphic monitoring efforts will resume along the the original XS 10 transect in future monitoring years.

Sinuosity for these reaches was calculated as ranging from 1.12- 1.3. No systemic adjustments to pattern was observed during the MYI period. Isolated areas of bank scour and floodplain scour indicate minor localized adjustments to pattern that are expected to stabilize as riparian vegetation matures. These areas are included under the Areas of Concern (AOC) listed in Section 8.0. Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project page 14 of 21 Monitoring Year 1 Report October 2020 6.2 Hydrology Bankfull events were recorded during MY1 at all crest gauges, observed following a rain event which occurred on August 6, 2020. Significant rack lines were observed on UT1 as well as UT2 Reach 4 and UT3 Reach 4. Photographic documentation of observations are included below: Table 10: Crest Gauge Data Location Date Observed Crest Ga ue Reading UT1 Crest Gage August 7, 2020 3.0 ft UT1 Crest Gage August 7, 2020 2.1 ft UT2 Reach 4 August 7, 2020 0.6 ft UT3 Reach 4 August 7, 2020 No Reading Observed A continuous flow monitoring device will be installed in UT3 Reach 2 in MY2. A record of continuous flow data will be included in the MY2 report. Visual monitoring of this reach confirmed strong baseflow in this reach during the MY1 period. 6.3 Vegetation The MY1 average planted density is 237 planted stems/acre for permanent vegetation plots (PVP) and 230 stems/acre for temporary vegetation plots (TVP). The total overall planted density representative for the site is 267 stems/acre. This is below the interim measure of vegetative success of at least 320 planted stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year. Permanent vegetation monitoring plots 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 do not individually meet the interim vegetative success criteria. A corrective action plan is included that describves supplemental planting in portions of the site showing low survivability of planted woody stems. Areas of low woody stem density are shown on CCPV Figures 4.0-4.5 as well as described in the Areas of Concern Section 8.0. Invasive plants were observed on site including dense stands of kudzu, as well as Kudzu privet, tree of heaven, and microstegium in lesser quantity. These areas are listed in the Areas of Concern Section 8.0, and depicted on the CCPV Figures 4.0-4.5. Management of exotic invasive plants using Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project page 15 of 21 Monitoring Year 1 Report October 2020 herbicide treatment occurred in September of 2020, and will be ongoing in subsequent years as necessary to control the spread of kudzu, tree of heaven, and Chinese privet.

Visual inspection revealed evidence of bankfull flow described in section 6.2, and several locations requiring management consideration, which are described in Section 8.0 of this report. No obvious easement encroachment was observed. Photographs of all permanent photo points are included in Attachment D. Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation Project page 16 of 21 Monitoring Year 1 Report October 2020 7.0 Corrective Action Plan Efforts to close out the construction phase of the Harmon Dairy Stream Mitigation site are ongoing, and are described in the corrective action plan which will be submitted under separate cover. The corrective action plan includes the scope and timeline for remaining work necessary to meet the construction phase requirements, including: (1) modification of fencelines as installed to contain the conservation easement, (2) modification to the conservation easement boundary plat, (3) signage installed to the conservation easement boundary, (4) management considerations for the Areas of Concern (AOC) outlined in Section 8.0 of this Report. The submission of a corrective action plan will include financial assurances for the above requirements, and will be submitted to the Corps and DWR for approval. 8.0 Areas of Concern Sealed record drawings include annotated Areas of Concern (AOC) in Attachment E, and are depicted on the Current Condition Plan View (CCPV) Figures 4.0-4.5. Below these AOC are ranked as minor, moderate or severe, and will be monitored as "watch areas" or indicated for maintaince.
