Below is a follow -up on remaining items or edits to the DMS Closeout Report prior to DWR sending the Closeout Letter: • As discussed onsite, this site will be closed out for DMS to use for Nutrient Offset (Nitrogen only). Therefore, the asset table needs to include how many Nitrogen Nutrient Offset pounds DMS will acquire. • Revise the Applicable Rule on the memo of the report to be 15A NCAC 02B.0240 (Nutrient Offset Payments) • Revise the Project Type to be "Nutrient Offset Site" . • I stated onsite that it would be helpful to have a copy of the DENR Stewardship Acceptance letter for the site. • For this site, I stated it would be helpful to have a couple of "pre- construction" photos with the closeout report. As a note, although it was evident that the FD provider planted the site, it was very difficult to locate many of the planted stems. All of the vegetation plots we visited (Plots 7, 8, 16 & 17)) were predominately loblolly pines and very dense. Any planted hardwoods that were found, were heavily impacted by herbivory and appeared to be outcompeted by the pines. Hardwoods were less than 3 feet in most instances in these plots, but there were larger species (Sycamore and River Birch) seen along the field's edge. There is no remediation being requested for this site to closeout. Once I have received the edits indicated above, DWR will issue a Closeout Letter for this project.
