The Project is located approximately five miles south of the Town of Pilot Mountain in Surry County, NC (36.319329°,-80.463066°). The Project is located within the 8-digit HUC 03040101, in the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) sub -basin 03-07-02 (Warm Water Thermal Regime), in the Ararat River & Upper Yadkin River Local Watershed Plan (LWP) Study Area (LWP-2008-51), and in the Target Local Watershed (TLW) 03040101110070, all in the Upper Yadkin River Basin. The Project involved the restoration, enhancement, and permanent protection of eight stream reaches (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R6A and R7) and their riparian buffers, totaling approximately 6,084 linear feet of streams. The Project will provide significant ecological improvements and functional uplift through stream and aquatic habitat restoration and through decreasing nutrient and sediment loads within the watershed. The mitigation plan provides a detailed project summary and Table 1 provides a summary of project assets. Figure 1 illustrates the project mitigation components. Monitoring Year 1 (MY1) activities occurred during mid -November 2021. This report presents the data for MY1. The Project meets the MY1 success criteria for stream hydrology, stream horizontal and vertical stability, streambed condition and stability, and vegetation. Based on these results, the Project is on trajectory to meet interim and final success criteria. For more information on the chronology of the project history and activity, refer to Appendix A, Table 2. Relevant project contact information is presented in the appendices in Table 2 and project background information is presented in Table 3. 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives The Project will meet the goals and objectives described in the Grassy Creek Tributaries Final Approved Mitigation Plan and will address general restoration goals and opportunities outlined in the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) Upper Yadkin River Basin Restoration Priority Plan (RBRP) (DEQ 2009). More specifically, watershed goals and management strategies described in the Ararat River and Upper Yadkin LWP will be met by: • Reducing sediment, soil erosion, turbidity, and nutrient inputs such as fecal coliform bacteria, nitrogen, and phosphorus to Grassy Creek and the Upper Yadkin River Watershed. • Restoring, enhancing, and protecting headwater streams, wetlands, riparian buffers, and aquatic habitat functions. • Improving riparian corridor management and targeting restoration of impacted streams and riparian buffer areas. • Promoting agronomic farm management techniques and implementing agricultural BMPs and water quality features such as livestock exclusion fencing, alternative watering systems, and nutrient management. To accomplish these project -specific goals, the following objectives will be measured to document overall project success: • Provide a floodplain connection to the incised Project stream reaches by lowering bank height ratios (BHRs) to less than 1.2, thereby promoting more natural or overbank flood flows, • Improve bedform diversity by increasing scour pool spacing and depth variability, • Increase native species riparian buffer and vegetation density/composition along streambank and floodplain areas that meet requirements of a minimum 30-foot-wide and 210 stems/acre after the monitoring period, • Improve aquatic habitat and fish species diversity and migration through the addition of in -stream cover and native woody debris, • Site protection through a 13-acre conservation easement more than 30 feet from the top of the restored streambanks, that will protect all streams, wetlands, and aquatic resources in perpetuity. 1.3 Monitoring Schedule and Reporting The Project will be monitored on a regular basis with physical inspections to occur a minimum of twice per year throughout the seven-year post -construction monitoring period, or until performance standards are met. The measure of stream restoration success will be documented by bankfull flows and no change in stream channel classification. The measure of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of at least 210 seven -year -old trees per acre with an average height of eight feet at the end of year seven of the monitoring period. Site inspections and monitoring reports will also identify components and features that require routine maintenance or adaptive management. The easement holder and long-term steward is Unique Places to Save (UP2S). UP2S will be responsible for annual inspection of the Project after close- out to ensure that restrictions in place required by the recorded Conservation Easement document are being upheld. 1.4 Project Success Criteria The success criteria for the Project will follow approved performance standards and monitoring protocols from the final approved mitigation plan; which was developed in compliance with the USACE October 2016 Guidance, USACE Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April 2003 and October 2005), and 2008 Compensatory Mitigation Final Rule. Cross-section and vegetation plot data will be collected in Years 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Stream hydrology data and visual monitoring will be reported annually. Specific success criteria components and evaluation methods are described below. 1.4.1 Single -Thread Streams Stream Hydrology: Four separate bankfull or over bank events must be documented within the seven- year monitoring period and the stream hydrology monitoring will continue until four bankfull events have been documented in separate years. Stream hydrology monitoring will be accomplished with pressure transducers installed in pools and correlating sensor depth to top of bank elevation (see appendix E for installation diagrams). Recorded water depth above the top of bank elevation will document a bankfull event. The devices will record water depth hourly and will be inspected quarterly. In addition to the pressure transducers, traditional cork gauges will be installed at bankfull elevation and will be used to document bankfull events with photographs. Stream Profiles, Vertical Stability, and Floodplain Access: Stream profiles, as a measure of vertical stability and floodplain access will be evaluated by looking at Bank Height Ratios. In addition, observed bedforms should be consistent with those observed for channels of the design stream type(s). The BHR shall not exceed 1.2 along the restored Project stream reaches. This standard only applies to restored 4 reaches of the channel where BHRs were corrected through design and construction. Vertical stability will be evaluated with visual assessment, cross -sections and, if directed by the IRT, longitudinal profile. Stream Horizontal Stability: Cross -sections will be used to evaluate horizontal stream stability on restored streams. There should be little change expected from as -built restoration cross -sections. If measurable changes do occur, they should be evaluated to determine if the changes represent a movement toward a more unstable condition (e.g., downcutting, erosion) or a movement towards increased stability (e.g., settling, vegetation establishment, deposition along the streambanks, decrease in width/depth ratio). Cross -sections shall be classified using the Rosgen Stream Classification method and all monitored cross - sections should fall within the quantitative parameters defined for channels of the design stream type. Reference photo transects will be taken at each permanent cross-section. Lateral photos should not indicate excessive erosion or continuing degradation of the streambanks. Photographs will be taken of both streambanks at each cross-section. A survey tape stretched between the permanent cross-section monuments/pins will be centered in each of the streambank photographs. The water elevation will be shown in the lower edge of the frame, and as much of the streambank as possible will be included in each photo. Photographers will attempt to consistently maintain the same area in each photo over time. Streambed Material Condition and Stability: Representative streambed material samples will be collected in monitoring years 5 and 7 at riffle locations in restored stream reaches. The post -construction riffle substrate samples will be compared to the riffle substrate data collected during the existing conditions assessment. Any significant changes (e.g., aggradation, degradation, embeddedness) will be noted after streambank vegetation becomes established and a minimum of two bankfull flows or greater have been documented. If changes are observed within stable riffles and pools, additional sediment transport analyses and calculations may be required. Jurisdictional Stream Flow: Monitoring of stream flow will be conducted to demonstrate that the restored stream systems classified as intermittent exhibit surface flow for a minimum of 30 consecutive days throughout some portion of the year during a year with normal or below normal rainfall conditions. Stream flow monitoring will be accomplished with pressure transducers installed in pools and correlating sensor depth to the downstream top of riffle elevation. If the pool water depth is at or above the top of riffle elevation, then the channel will be assumed to have surface flow (see appendix E for installation diagrams). The devices will record water elevation twice per day and will be inspected quarterly to document surface hydrology and provide a basis for evaluating flow response to rainfall events. 1.4.2 Vegetation Vegetation monitoring will occur in the fall each required monitoring year, prior to leaf drop. Plots will be monitored in years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Vegetative success for the Project during the intermediate monitoring years will be based the survival of at least 320, three -year -old trees per acre at the end of Year 3 of the monitoring period; and at least 260, five -year -old, trees per acre that must average six feet in height at the end of Year 5 of the monitoring period. The final vegetative restoration success criteria will be achieving a density of no less than 210, seven -year -old stems per acre that must average eight feet in height in Year 7 of monitoring. Volunteer species on the approved planting list that meet success criteria standards will be counted towards success criteria. 4 1.4.3 Visual Assessment WLS will conduct visual assessments in support of mitigation performance monitoring. Visual assessments of all stream reaches will be conducted twice per monitoring year with at least five months in between each site visit for each of the seven years of monitoring. Photographs will be used to visually document system performance and any areas of concern related to streambank and bed stability, condition of in - stream structures, channel migration, active headcuts, live stake mortality, invasive plant species or animal browsing, easement boundary encroachments, cattle exclusion fence damage, and general streambed conditions. Permanent photo points will be at the cross -sections, crossings, and Enhancement II reaches. 2 Project Mitigation Components 2.1 Project Components The Project mitigation components include a combination of Stream Restoration and Enhancement activities, as summarized in the table below. These stream credits are based on the Addendum to the Mitigation Plan and repair plan stream lengths for the repaired reaches (R2 and R3); all other reaches did not deviate from the mitigation plan.

No mitigation credits were calculated outside the conservation easement boundaries. Note 2: SMCs on R2 and R3 are the repair plan lengths and were the reaches that were repaired/redesigned. 3 Monitoring Year 1 Assessment and Results The dates of Year 1 monitoring activities are detailed in Appendix A, Table 2. All Year 1 monitoring data is presented in this report and in the appendices. The Project is on track for meeting stream and vegetation interim success criteria. All monitoring device locations are depicted on the CCPV (Figures la-c). 3.1 Morphological Assessment 3.1.1 Stream Horizontal Pattern & Longitudinal Profile Visual assessment was utilized for assessment of MY1 horizontal and vertical stability. The visual assessments for each stream reach documented MY1 stream channel pattern and longitudinal profiles, and in -stream structure location/function still closely match the profile design parameters and MYO/baseline conditions (Appendix D). The MY1 planform geometry or pattern fall within acceptable ranges of the design parameters for all restored reaches. Minor channel adjustments in riffle slopes, pool depths and pattern were observed based on natural sediment migration and stream bank vegetation establishment but do not present a stability concern. During MY1, a log J-hook structure near station 57+10 was piping (SPA-1). The structure is stable, but not performing as intended. Also, during MY1 minor erosion was observed on the left floodplain slope of R7 due to field runoff (SPA-2). The eroded area was re -seeded and filled with hay bales to prevent further erosion on August 2nd, 2021. Coir logs were placed along the top of the slope to disperse and slow the flow of water during future rain events until vegetation became more established. Both areas will be monitored closely, and any remedial actions will be documented in the MY2 report (Photos in Appendix B). 3.1.2 Stream Horizontal Dimension The MY1 channel dimensions generally match the design parameters and are within a stable range of tolerance. Twelve cross -sections were installed on restoration reaches with six located in riffles and six located in pools. All twelve permanently installed cross -sections show little to no change in BHR or bankfull area when compared to as -built measurements, and BHRs are less than 1.2. It is expected that over time some pools may accumulate fine sediment and organic matter, however, this is not an indicator of channel instability. Maximum riffle depths are expected to fluctuate slightly throughout the monitoring period as the channels adjust to restored flow regime. Cross-section overlays and measurements can be found in Appendix D. 3.1.3 Substrate Representative streambed material samples will be collected in years 5 and 7 at the locations where riffles are installed in reaches that are proposed for restoration as part of the Project. 3.2 Stream Hydrology 3.2.1 Stream Flow Three pressure transducers (flow gauges) were installed in April 2021 on reaches R1, R5, and R6. All the flow gauges documented that the stream exhibited surface flow for a minimum of 30 consecutive days during the monitoring year. FG-3 had a transducer malfunction resulting in lost data from April 23rd to May 25t", 2021. The gauge was repaired on May 25t", 2021. See the chart below and Appendix E for flow gauge information. Additionally, to determine if rainfall amounts are normal for the given year, precipitation data was collected from CROWS Pilot Mountain weather station (CBTN7) approximately one mile north of the site. 4 riow uauge uara Name Location Consecutive oa oT Flow i ota i &ays oT Cumulative i ota i &.

Crest Gauge CG-1 on R3 recorded two events with a maximum event of 0.63 feet on September 21' 2021. The associated data are located in Appendix E. 3.3 Vegetation Monitoring of the seven permanent vegetation plots was completed during November 2021. Vegetation data can be found in Appendix C with the associated photos located in Appendix B. The MY1 average planted density is 613 stems per acre, which exceeds the interim measure of vegetative success of at least 320 planted stems per acre at the end of the third monitoring year. In addition, every vegetation plot also met the interim measure of success and had 445 to 729 stems per acre. Volunteer species were not noted at MY1 but are expected to establish in upcoming years. Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that the herbaceous vegetation is well established throughout the project. 4 Methods Stream cross-section monitoring was conducted using a Topcon Total Station. Three-dimensional coordinates associated with cross-section data were collected in the field (NAD83 State Plane feet PIPS 3200). Morphological data were collected at 12 cross -sections. Survey data was imported into Microsoft Excel® for processing and analysis. The stage recorders include an automatic pressure transducer set in PVC piping in the channel. The elevation of the bed and top of bank at each stage recorder location was recorded to be able to document presence of water in the channel and out of bank events. Visual observations (i.e. wrack or debris lines) and traditional cork crest gauges will also be used to document out of bank events. Vegetation success is being monitored at a total of seven permanent vegetation plots. Vegetation plot monitoring follows the CVS-EEP Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and includes analysis of species composition and density of planted species. Data are processed using the NCDMS ShinyApp tool. In the field, the four comers of each plot were permanently marked with PVC at the origin and rebar at the other comers. Photos of each plot are to be taken from the origin each monitoring year. Tree species and height will be recorded for each planted stem. 4 Appendix A: Background Tables Table 1: Project Mitigation Components Table 2: Project Activity, Reporting History, and Contacts Table 3: Project Information and Attributes 2 4' Y Y Y O O O V N V N Id N N > > > N 16 C O O O—_ C in 7 in 7 U)s 7 cu N t Vl O E Y U O 16 X X X N 3 0 N ; 0 w w w rn a _ w w w m Q C w J w 7 7 7 N N 7 O 7 m m m Vl N N C Y 16 m o m C N E N E N E U N 7 N (p Vl a w cp Vl a W cp Vl a W .— to:m cp a X w 16 a O C C .O O .� C C .O O .� C C O O .O .� s O C .O O C .O O C .O O O N Q E E E O O O Z = O O N O N O N 2 m m co o o o 0 7 C W W W U U U O m X o o o C C C p Y C cu L C L C cu L � 16 ii E � 16 ii E � 16 ii E � N C O N N -C N U N -C N U N , N U N 7 N wa 7 N wa 7 N wa C - j o- — C 7 0 w<) — C 7 0 wc.> — C 5 O wc.> l0 r W N O M N N M M N M 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 E E V 00 N N V N LO N N M M N M 1p N LL co V l0 N N N V N M (O N co N co N N M V N (O (O of O a ia CL si■IIII� �lilllli ��illllll �� IIIII Table 2: Project Timeline and Contacts Activity or D- Project Instituted Data Collection OV NA Task Completion or Deliverable 2/20/2018 Mitigation Plan Approved NA 1/27/2020 Construction (Grading) Completed NA 4/14/2021 Planting Completed NA 4/15/2021 As -built Survey Completed NA 6/15/2021 MY-0 Baseline Report 4/26/2021 6/23/2021 MY1 Monitoring Report 11/17/2021 12/2/2021 Remediation Items (e.g. beaver removal, supplements, repairs etc.) Encroachment Grassy Creek Tributaries Designer Mitigation Project Water & Land Solutions, LLC 7721 Six Forks Rd, Ste. 130, Raleigh, NC 27615 Primary project design POC Chris Tomsic- (828) 493-3287 Construction Contractor North State Environmental, Inc 2889 Lowery Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27101 Construction contractor POC Andy Harmon - (336) 409-7998 Survey Contractor Ascension Land Surveying and Consulting 116 Williams Road, Mocksville, NC 27028 Survey contractor POC Christopher Cole - (704) 579-7197 Planting Contractor Ripple Ecosolutions, LLC 215 Moonridge Rd, Chapel Hill, NC 27516 Planting contractor POC George Morris - (919) 818-3984 Seeding Contractor North State Environmental, Inc 2889 Lowery Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27101 Contractor point of contact Andy Harmon - (336) 409-7998 Seed Mix Sources Green Resource (336)588-6363 Nursery Stock Suppliers (Bare Roots) Native Forest Nursery (704)483-3397 Nursery Stock Suppliers (Bare Roots/plugs) Mellow Marsh Farm (919)742-1200 Nursery Stock Suppliers (Live Stakes) Foggy Mountain Nursery (336)384-5323 Monitoring Performers Water & Land Solutions, LLC 7721 Six Forks Rd, Ste. 130, Raleigh, NC 27615 Stream Monitoring POC I Emily Dunnigan- (269) 908-6306 Vegetation Monitoring POC Emily Dunnigan- (269) 908-6306 ( \ q / 2 % § E ) � \ 4§ \ / 0\§ G g$ f y ® E ¥ o k r m� } / § w 7 % 3 ° C) © _ @ o ° E CL co � } � ° ® » } § @ � \ / / 7 \ \ & f ( E cr \ \ co = 4- _ w \ ƒ \ - co co \ ƒ ' > § ) Co/ } / / 2 { - } 4 \ / g J }) \ o \ { \ \ ) \ \ y � \ \ y ƒ ƒ ƒ / \ } ƒ J J £ ) / / b 2 » < < \ c § 3 = e e \ ƒ b 2/ \ CO b 2 2 \/ a § = z z o CO b 2 j \ % � 7 / } } S CO 2 C) J\ )/ E\} f 3 f § 2 - z z z � CO 2 ) 2 \ c 3 3 / < 0 \ 20 �_ \§ /}m }\ \- \ E A z\ = b G .t 9 < < \ / 2 \ _ = e e k=a \�0 ) % \ § k p CO F y) [k \ C) LL -i \ z I z i / CO f < 0 \ \ / \ z \ ) � / \ / \ 2 \ 2 \ « \ fa | / IL 0} } } ( ( \ ! \ \ < < \ _ [ / , _ \ \ \ } ) 0 LL - { \ 5 ) \ ) ) 7 ) J = 3 Appendix B: Visual Assessment Data Figure 1a - 1c: Current Condition Plan View (CCPV) Cross -Section Photographs Stream Station Photographs (Cross -Sections, Photo Stations, Ell Reaches) Vegetation Plot Photographs Additional Photographs w cr 0 LL 3 > v� N ao a `m w °� V U } n� Q O 0) � a co.ko C: O = O rn o ' U O C z o z D U N z N O 0 p N O p U >N Q > O U<z Q V � N O a` c � O U +� t t3 V O }' Z Y +r N � N � U U U) L U) L R � U) Z Q 06 JO W J a0 3 � w macr D 0 LL 3 > v� N ao a `m w °� V U } n� Q O 0) � a co.ko C: O = O rn o ' U O C z o z D U N z N O 0 p N O p U >N Q > O U<z Q V � N O a` c � 00 +� t t3 V O }' Z Y +r N � N � U U U) L U) L R � U) Z Lr) Q J0 06 - W J a0 3 Lr) w cr LL 3 > v� N ao a `m w °� V U } n� Q O 0) � a co.ko C: O = O rn o ' U O C z o z D U N z N O 0 p N O p U >N Q > O U<z Q V � N O a` c � O U +� t t3 V O }' Z Y +r N � N � U U U) L U) L R � U) s Z Q 06 JO W J a0 3 � 7-3 CD CD Rl Cn . - _ ..§y�r-,.'sty �-:'�l' � C\1 i�] x. � _ .- ' •r•.. ro '"` - , . `• _ r�- .� �. �. _ -may �: � �..3 j •-..

Water & Land Solutions, LLC (WLS) submitted an As -Built Baseline Monitoring Report on June 23rd, 2021 (revised September 1", 2021) and the site visit was held on September 201", 2021. The meeting began with a general summary of the overall project construction and repair. These meeting minutes proceed in order of discussion. 1. Steve Kichefski requested an overview of activities on site. Cara Conder detailed initial project construction, full monitoring installation, subsequent storm damage prior to as -built survey in May 2020, and redesign and repair of approximately 25% of the project. Kayne VanStell explained that there were two significant storm events that resulted in close to three inches of rain over a short period of time. Daniel Ingram explained if vegetation had a few more weeks to establish, storm damage would have been far less. The repair was slow due to COVID and weather conditions and was finished in April 2021. All the monitoring devices were installed, and planting was completed prior to storm damage in 2020; however, WLS has reinstalled all monitoring devices for 2021. 2. Steve Kichefski asked if there were any changes to veg plot locations. Emily Dunnigan responded that the veg plots were not moved significantly from original locations. 3. Steve Kichefski asked if fill was brought in to adjust side slopes. Kayne VanStell responded that no fill was brought in. waterlandsolutions.com 1 7721 Six Forks Rd, Ste 130, Raleigh, NC 27615 1 919-614-5111 WATER & LAND SOLUTIONS 4. Steve Kichefski asked if topsoil was lost because of the storms. Kayne VanStell responded that a few inches may have been lost, but there is limited topsoil on this site in general. 5. Erin Davis asked if soil amendments were needed to establish trees and vegetation. Kayne VanStell responded that Land Quality closed out the project and that ground cover was establishing nicely. WLS will monitor the tree survival/success. 6. Todd Tugwell asked if there were any credit adjustments/losses because of the repairs. Cara Conder responded there were some changes in credits and that the credit information was included in the addendum and letter to Steve. Todd Tugwell stated WLS should use the redesign/repair plan lengths to calculate credits vs. the as -built lengths. Cara Conder responded that the report the IRT currently has calculates credits on the repair reaches using as -built length, and WLS will revise/resubmit with repair plan lengths for R2 and R3. 7. Todd Tugwell asked what repairs were done on R3. Kayne VanStell responded that minor bank adjustments were completed. 8. Steve Kichefski asked if tree species planted had changed from proposed and noted if there is a significant difference (20% or more) to get IRT approval before planting future projects. WLS stated changes in the species list was due to availability, and Steve stated the tree species substitutions on this project were acceptable. He also asked if planting zones were used on the project, and Emily Dunnigan/WLS said no due to size of wetlands. Erin Davis also suggested including an alternative planting list in the mitigation plan for ease of substitutions if needed. In the future WLS will let the IRT know of significant changes to plant lists. 9. Erin Davis commented to keep an eye on the edges of the easement for encroachment where the landowner has fields and to further mark the easement if necessary. Emily Dunnigan responded that WLS already plans on marking the easement more clearly in certain areas and will continue to monitor the boundary. 10. Erin Davis asked if there were any existing wetlands on site. Kayne VanStell responded that there is a toe of slope seep on the left floodplain of R3. WLS will update future CCPV maps to show the no credit wetland areas. 11. Erin Davis was impressed by the herbaceous cover but suggested watching areas where it's dense to ensure tree survival. Emily Dunnigan responded that areas of dense herbaceous cover would be monitored closely. 12. R7: Erin Davis liked the gully repair along R7 with coir logs/matting and was happy to see WLS did not use rock to stabilize the slope. Todd Tugwell asked if live stakes were used on R7 where the herbaceous cover is dense. Kayne VanStell responded that they were used and pointed out various willow live waterlandsolutions.com 1 7721 Six Forks Rd, Ste 130, Raleigh, NC 27615 1 919-614-5111 WATER & LAND SOLUTIONS stakes. Todd Tugwell asked if the side slopes along R7 were planted. Kanye VanStell responded that they were planted. 13. Erin Davis asked WLS to provide photos prior to the growing season on R7 to see the stream more clearly. She also suggested using random veg plots in areas of high herbaceous cover to document tree survival/vigor. Emily Dunnigan stated that pre -growing season photos will be provided in MY2 and WLS will complete random veg plots when needed. 14.Todd Tugwell stated vegetation along the left floodplain of R2 was struggling, likely due to poor soil conditions. No remedial action is needed at this time. 15. Steve Kichefski asked if invasive treatments are included in the park project plans. Kayne VanStell responded yes. 16. Todd Tugwell asked what the restoration approach was on R1. Kayne VanStell responded that it was PI restoration with step pools. 17. Erin Davis liked the addition of the lower BMP on R1. Todd Tugwell asked if the BMP was designed to be open water and that he would prefer it to be vegetated. Kayne VanStell answered that the BMP will likely fill with sediment over time and vegetate with volunteers. 18. Todd Tugwell suggested keeping a close watch on vegetation in manipulated areas. Erin Davis stated that supplemental planting may be needed and random veg plots, but no actions at this time. Steve Kichefski suggested watching the bare areas and provide photos in reports to document changes in veg cover. Emily Dunnigan responded that WLS will monitor the vegetation and provide the requested photographs in monitoring reports. 19.Todd Tugwell asked if silt fence was used and removed from the project. Kayne VanStell responded that it was used and removed after ground cover was established. 20. Erin Davis stated that data collection in shaded areas is lacking, and on future projects if planting is done in these areas to include veg plots to document species and success. waterlandsolutions.com 1 7721 Six Forks Rd, Ste 130, Raleigh, NC 27615 1 919-614-5111
