Sam and Stephanie,
Hope all is well.
Attached please find our Year 2 Monitoring Summary for the Lewtershop Road restoration
project including a summary from our recent monitoring visit, a site photo points map, year-
to-year comparative site photos, and wetland data forms.
Sam, I understand that you've taken over this project/project area since James Lastinger
moved to the Washington, NC, office. James can likely provide any background information
you need if it's not already in your files. Otherwise, don't hesitate to reach out to Bob or me if
we can be of assistance or provide background.
Please let me know if you have any questions. As always I'm available to get on a call.
Best,
Patrick

Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA Year 2 Monitoring Summary
1708 Lewtershop Road Stream Restoration Project S&EC Project No. 13526.D4
The following summary of our Year 2 Monitoring efforts for the 1708 Lewtershop
Road Stream and Wetland Restoration Project is provided.
Post -restoration Monitoring Requirements
As described in the post -construction Engineer's Certification letter, dated November
10, 2020, regulatory agencies require the following monitoring:
• NCDEQ-DWR — The restored wetland, stream and adjacent buffer areas be
monitored for a period of three (3) years and must include photographs
detailing overall site conditions. Monitoring reports are to be submitted
annually.
• USACE — The restored wetland area be monitored annually for a period of up
to five (5) years and include the collection of wetland determination data
sheets along with photos of wetland restoration area. Monitoring reports are
to be submitted annually.
As agreed upon, annual site monitoring is to be qualitative in nature and will include
an updated photo at each photo point to allow for year-to-year comparison of the
restored wetlands, stream and buffer areas between monitoring years. As described
in our certification letter, a total of 16 photo points were installed within the project
limits to describe the as -built site conditions including four (4) overall/general site
photos, five (5) stream photos, three (3) wetland photo points and four (4) buffer
photo points. The location of each photo point is identified in the field with a flagged
and numbered wooden construction stake. The approximate location of each of the
photo points are shown on the attached Photo Points Map. A wetland data form for
each of the restored wetland areas will also be prepared to further document
restored wetland conditions each year.
Annual site monitoring visits will be performed in the Fall timeframe. Monitoring
reports will be submitted to USACE, NCDEQ-DWR, and Chatham County within 30
days of each scheduled monitoring visit, each year starting in 2021. Monitoring
reports will describe observations from our site monitoring visit (including supporting

documentation and representative photos) along with recommendations for
addressing any issues within the restored stream, buffer and wetlands identified
during our monitoring visit.
Our Year 1 (2021) monitoring visit was performed on October 29, 2021. Our Year 1
monitoring summary was submitted on November 8, 2021, to USACE, DWR and
Chatham County via Email.
Year 2 Monitoring Summary
Our Year 2 (2022) monitoring visit was performed on October 4, 2022, at which
time we traversed the extent of the restoration site, collected photos at each of
the previously established photo points, evaluated general planting survivability,
and performed an evaluation of the restored site wetland areas.
As shown in the attached comparative Monitoring Photo Set, site vegetation is
thriving. The herbaceous vegetation is generally dense and the woody plantings
appear healthy and in good condition. A number of the observed planted stems
were already 5 to 7 feet, or more, in height. At the time the wetland and buffer
photo points were established, three (3) planted stems within the general vicinity
of each photo point were identified and pin -flagged for future observation. All
but one of these stems were relocated during our site monitoring visit, and the
vast majority of those stems observed remained viable.
We observed a variety of the planted tree and shrub species during our visit
including Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum), Swamp Chestnut Oak (Quercus
michauxii), American Sycamore (Plantanus occidentalis), Tulip Poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera), Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Witch Hazel
(Hamamelis virginiana), Silky Dogwood (Cornus amomum), Red Chokeberry
(Aronia arbutifolia) and Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum). A number of
volunteer woody species as well as numerous herbaceous species were observed
throughout the wetland and buffer areas.

The attached wetland data forms, one for each wetland, indicate that the
restoration remains successful. And, while wetland hydrology was achieved in
both wetland areas, saturation or inundation was not observed at the time of our
monitoring visit. As shown on the attached Antecedent Precipitation Data the
three months leading up to our visit indicate that the site is considered to be
"Normal", however, as you are aware (and as indicated on the graph) conditions
might well have been considered "Dryer than Normal" if not for the large rainfall
associated with Hurricane Ian which impacted North Carolina just a few days prior
to our site visit. The generally "Dry/Normal" conditions indicated, in combination
with the generally higher temperatures leading up to our visit, and the fact that
the vegetation is just beginning to signs of dormancy, provides further reason for
the lack of saturation within the upper 12-inches at the time of our visit.
The stream, while densely vegetated over much of the bed, appeared in good
condition. We saw no indication of instability in the channel or any of the in -
channel structures. Vegetation along the streambanks is dense, and also thriving
along the entirety of the restored stream. The ground surface within the wetland
and buffer restoration areas, including the adjacent side slopes is generally dense
and the soil surface remains stable. We observed a few areas of modest ground
cover and relatively minor erosion within the floodplain area. No evidence of
significant erosion or sedimentation was observed.
Our next monitoring visit is scheduled for October 2023, with a similar monitoring
report to follow shortly thereafter.
