Site Visit Notes:
- Overall, the project was well received by the IRT
- Continued invasive species treatments are recommended to control Chinese privet, rose, kudzu,
and tree of heaven. The IRT recommends treatment of tree of heaven located outside the
easement boundaries (if possible) to control seed source entering the Site.
- The IRT recommended moving ground water gauge 10 to the downstream wetland rehabilitation
area and labeling it groundwater gauge 10A (see attached figure for the proposed location of GW
10A).
- Restoration Systems is requesting to offset the loss of wetland credit from approximately 0.010
acre of wetland reestablishment (at groundwater gauge 10) by documenting jurisdictional
wetland development in non-credit generating areas of the Site. Additional wetland areas are
depicted in purple on the attached figure F-1. Additional soil borings and vegetation transects
will be required to document wetlands in these areas. Wetland credit is not being requested from
these areas; however, these areas are to replace approximately 0.010 acres of wetland
reestablishment around groundwater gauge 10.
- The IRT recommended documenting jurisdiction in wetland reestablishment and wetland
rehabilitation areas that do not have gauges and/or vegetation plots. Documentation should
include soil boring logs and vegetation transects.
- Supplemental planting of the abandoned haul road is recommended with species other than
American sycamore. The haul road is located on elevated areas along the margins of the
conservation easement between vegetation plot 7 and vegetation plot 9.
