This addendum to the Year 5 monitoring report documents the work performed, requests the final credit release, and site closeout. Specific maintanance activities are described below. 1. Replant Buffer Restoration Area 6 with sufficient containerized stock to bring the stem count density to 320 stems per acre. RES staff planted 35 trees in Restoration Area 6 (0.1 acre). This density exceeds the 320 stems per acre criterion. All trees were three gallon containerized stock and averaged 5 -7 feet tall. Species include river birch, white oak, red oak, willow oak, sycamore, tulip tree, and green ash. This work was performed on June 2, 2015. Representative photos of the planted trees are included below. 2. Address the encroachment /sediment issue along the east side of Buffer Restoration Area 1. RES staff re -set the existing silt fence and marked the easement boundary with several flexible PVC markers. The markers are spaced approximately 50 feet apart and provide a continuous visual boundary from the adjacent cricket field. The released sediment into the easement did not enter the restoration area and has been stabilized by volunteer herbaceous vegetation. The adjacent disturbed area is stabilized and does not pose a continued threat to the restoration area. This work was performed on June 2, 2015. Representative photographs of the sediment and easement markers are included below. 3. Aggressively mark all easement boundaries, especially in the encroachment areas identified. RES staff marked the easement boundary with flexible PVC markers approximately four feet tall. Each marker includes a placard clearly identifying the area as protected conservation easement with no encroachment allowed. In addition, the previously place corner marker poles were inspected and are still intact. The supplemental markers were place a maximum of 100 feet apart in most areas and approximately 40 5020 Montrose Blvd. Suite 650 Houston, TX 77006 1200 Camellia Blvd. Suite 220 Lafayette, LA 70508 137 1/2 East Main Street Suite 210 Oak Hill, WV 25901 380 Southpointe Blvd. Plaza II, Suite 405 Canonsburg, PA 15317 909 Capability Drive Suite 3100 Raleigh, NC 27606 feet apart in areas of documented or potential encroachment.
