Re: Year 2 Monitoring Report Review Comments
Wall Buffer Mitigation Site

Secretary
The Division of Water Resources received the Year 2 Monitoring Report for the above - referenced site,
dated October 2013.
Two vegetation plots (Plots 4 & 5) out of 8 did not meet the vegetation performance standard of 320
stems per acre in year 2. Additional planting has been scheduled and vegetation survival and growth will
need to be closely monitored.
The report does not indicate whether invasive species are present. Future reports should include an
assessment of invasive species. As noted in the report, areas with fescue appear to have poor planted
stem survival.
Please feel free to contact me at 336 - 771 -4964 if you have any questions regarding this project or our
comments.
