Good Morning,
The Year 1 Monitoring Report review and credit release has been requested by EPR. Per Section 332.8(o)(9) of the 2008
Mitigation Rule, this review follows the streamlined review process, which requires an IRT review period of 15 calendar
days from this email notification. Please provide any comments by 5 PM on the 15-day comment deadline shown
below. When providing comments please indicate if your concerns are great enough that you intend to request a site
visit prior to the Year 1 credit release. Comments provided after the 15-day comment deadline (shown below) may not
be considered. At the conclusion of this comment period, a copy of all comments will be provided to EPR and the NCIRT
along with District Engineer's intent to approve or disapprove this Year 1 Monitoring Report credit release.
Please note, we previously had an IRT site visit to review the Red Barn draft As -Built on June 10, 2020 and the final As -
Built was submitted September 18, 2020. Between the two reports, some areas were identified as concerns to monitor,
including finishing the CE fencing, completing the footbridge and ATV crossings, removing 3 areas from the CE (2
crossings and 1 sliver of boundary w existing fencing), sediment deposition in UT2 and a section of dry channel
downstream of the culvert on UT1.
The MY1 report addresses the concerns expressed last year as well as documents additional items. Amongst the various
MY1 report results, EPR notes that the project wetlands are not meeting performance standards and are not seeking
wetland credit at this time. They also propose to "...move SG 2 from its current location to the first pool downstream of
the culvert. The location and data for this gauge will be provided in the next monitoring report." This is in response to
the short section of dry channel identified during last June's site visit. I have included the Red Barn Mitigation Site with
our Monday, March 22 Yadkin visits due its close proximity to the Hair Sheep Site scheduled for that day. If you feel the
MY1 results are of enough concern that credit should not be released prior to the March 22nd site visit, please indicate
that with your comment response.
