H i Rav,
Thanks for the communication. We regularly recommend that people wait to plan trees until the proper season. Please
consider this email as confirmation that you may wait to plant the required trees until the fall/winter season. In the
meantime please complete the stabilization work including temporary/permanent herbaceous seeding and being the
visual monitoring of the site as required by the 401.
I'm copying Samantha Dailey with the USACE who is currently covering Forsyth County in case she wants to weigh
in. (Sam, I'm sorry I don't have the USACE Action ID for this project for you)

Sue:
The wall and stream restoration project is nearing completion. The contractor is in the cleanup phase and
stabilization. One question that came up regards the planting of live stakes as indicated on the approved
plans. Logically, now is probably not a suitable time to install the live stakes as we are approaching June. The contractor
would like to complete the bank and stream stabilization now and come back in the fall when the climate would be
more desirable for the live stakes to become established. Would you mind let us know if that is allowable between
NCDEQ and USACE? If this is the route taken, are there any requirements necessary to delay this planting?

Feel free to contact me to discuss further, if necessary.
