Good afternoon,
Thank you for coming to our Arrington Bridge III site visit last Thursday. I have some notes from our meeting
that we will refer to in 2021 and during the remaining monitoring period.
IRT recommended the following:
• Random woody stem transects in Year 6
• Start collecting herbaceous veg data on -site to bolster site success should tree success be an issue.
• Start mapping parrot feather and cattail, treat cattail, and explain in future reports why not treating
parrot feather (aquatic herbicide not selective enough to treat just parrot feather)
In future reports:
• Add cumulative annual data to the following year's report (start graph in sept/Nov after monitoring from
previous year is complete
• Open water area — may need to kick out, or otherwise adjust crediting ratio if it does not meet success
• Add new easement signposts as needed
• Fly drone after leaf out? (RES will review this considering Air Force Base)
• Add in Volunteers to report at this point (which we started this year)
• Add high risk areas section to report in Year 6
We are going to get in touch in spring 2021 to discuss the herbaceous monitoring and woody stem transects
more in depth and how they will affect our monitoring reports & success criteria for the remainder of the
project. We will treat Cattail this spring. It was requested we provide some background for construction history
on -site. We realized there's actually a construction history in Section 1.3 of the monitoring report. Please refer
to this section and if you have any other questions we can discuss in more detail.
Please advise if I have missed anything from our visit.
Thank you all.
All of us at RES wish you a Merry Christmas!!
