Re: Year 6 Monitoring Report Review Comments
Terrible Creek Riparian Buffer Restoration Site
Wake County
EEP # 134

John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
On January 21, 2014, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) received the Year 6 Monitoring Report for
the above - referenced site, dated December 2013.
A review of the report showed that seven (7) vegetation plots out of 16 were identified as either not
meeting the vegetation performance standard of 320 stems per acre or exceeded the requirements, but by
less than 10% in year 6. However, presence of volunteers was noted and most of the plots appear to be
trending towards at least achieving the 320 stems per acre requirement. DWR is aware that EEP is
scheduling a close -out site visit with DWR to analyze the site this Spring. DWR & EEP staff will make
the determination if any remedial plantings are deemed necessary during the close -out site visit.
Please feel free to contact me at (919) 807 -6371 if you have any questions regarding this correspondence.
