Re: Year 2 Monitoring Report Review Comments

Secretary
The Division of Water Resources received the Year 2 Monitoring Report for the above - referenced site,
dated October 2013.
Two vegetation plots (Plots 6 & 15) out 16 did not meet the success criteria of 320 stems /acre.
Vegetation success should continue to be closely monitored.
Exotic invasives appear to be widespread across the site. The report notes that Johnson grass covers
approximately 90% of the planted acreage. Other invasive species were also present. Invasives are
scheduled for treatment and will continue to be treated throughout the future monitoring period.
Please feel free to contact me at 336 - 771 -4964 if you have any questions regarding this project or our
comments.
