Narrative background and supporting information formerly found in these reports can be found in the mitigation and restoration plan documents available on EEPs website. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices is available from EEP upon request. 2.0 METHODOLOGY 2.1 Vegetation Assessment Four vegetation plots were established and marked after construction with a groundwater gauge at one corner and PVC at the remaining corners as depicted on Figure 2 (Current Conditions Plan View) in Appendix B. The plots are 10 meters square and are located randomly within the Site. These plots were surveyed in June for the 2010 (year 4) monitoring season using the CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.0 (Lee et al. 2006) ( http:/ /cvs.bio.unc.edu/niethods.htm); results are included in Appendix C. The taxonomic standard for vegetation used for this document was Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and Surrounding Areas (Weakley 2007). 2.2 Wetland Assessment Four groundwater monitoring gauges and one rain gauge have been maintained and monitored throughout the growing season. Graphs of groundwater hydrology and precipitation are included in Appendix D in addition to a figure depicting annual rainfall versus 30 -year historic rainfall totals (Figure 3, Appendix D). 3.0 REFERENCES Lee, Michael T., R.K.
