Mr. Huggett:
As you are aware, the Department has monitored the Second Bridge to Oak Island Temporary
Impact Site since its construction in September of 2010. Located in Brunswick County, adjacent
to the bridge over Davis Canal on Middleton Avenue on Oak Island, this 0.046-acre site was
monitored for temporary wetland impacts associated with the k-2245 project. I'he temporarily
impacted area where the erosion control devices were located was left to revegetate naturally and
must re-attain jurisdictional status at the end of three years; hydrologic monitoring was not
required for this project. According to pern~it conditions, NCDOT was required to monitor the
Second Bridge to Oak Island Temporary Impact Site for three years or until success criteria were
met, with vegetation monitoring conducted each year. After each growing season, annual
monitoring reports were submitted to the appropriate regulatory agencies via the Natural
Environment Unit's (NEU) website:

After one year of vegetation monitoring, the Second Qridge to Oak Island Temporary Impact Site
indicates that natural re-vegetation has occurred and the temporarily impacted areas have re-
attained jurisdictional status. Individual annual monitoring data is provided within the
monitoring reports a~~ailable on NEU's website in 2010.
