The Division of Water Resources received the Year 1 Monitoring Report for the above - referenced site,
dated December 2013.
Overall vegetation condition is fair to poor at the site. Three vegetation plots (Plots 7, 8 & 10) out 11 of
had less than 300 stems per acre. Plot 10 had been burned and will need to be replanted. Additional
planting has been scheduled and vegetation survival and growth will need to be closely monitored.
Exotic invasives appear to be widespread across the site. These invasives should be closely monitored
and a plan to address these species should be considered.
Please feel free to contact me at 336 - 771 -4964 if you have any questions regarding this project or our
comments.
