Good Afternoon Jamey,

Attached is the Year 3 monitoring credit release letter for the: RES Yadkin 01 UMB – Compass Point Mitigation Site/ SAW‐2017-01465/ Yadkin County. IRT comments on the MY3 Report are
incorporated in this email. Make sure all comments are addressed in the next monitoring report.

**The Corps agrees to the M&M bond reduction for Bond No. SUR0063561 in conjunction with the Year 3 credit release, in the amount of $90,758, per the bond reduction schedule.

Maria Polizzi (NCDWR) comments:

1. Why is supplemental planting from low stem density in MY2 (submitted 8/31/22) occurring this winter as opposed to last? Better vegetative performance would be expected if issues are
addressed quickly and replanting efforts occur as soon as possible after being identified.
2. Thank you for including photos of the problem areas related to low stem density and stream bank erosion. Will any grading be associated with the stream bank locations?
3. The bankfull entrenchment ratio for cross section 14 has dipped slightly below the >2.2 threshold due to some aggradation. In the text, vegetation growth is described as a potential
cause. Will vegetation management be performed in this area?

Casay Haywood and Steve Kichefski (USACE) comments:

1. The request letter mentions there are two low stem density areas that will be supplementally planted, but the report (page 7) only mentions one. If there is a second, please indicate
the area on Figure 2 and include it in the VPA photo documentation.
2. Please note that some vegetation plots are dominated by a single species (VP8, R2). Per the 2016 Guidance, and as indicated on page 4 of the report, any single species can only account
for up to 50 percent of the required stems within any vegetation plot, and any stems in excess of 50 percent should not be used to demonstrate success.
3. Please continue to closely monitor cross section 12 & 14 to determine if remedial action will be needed. Noted that 2 areas of bank erosion on DW1-C will be repaired. We appreciate
the inclusion of the photos for the VPAs and SPAs in the report. Please include photos of the repairs in next year’s report.
4. The MY3 report noted that geomorphology data for MY3 was collected during May 2023. The MY2 data was collected in June and the MY1 data was collected in July. Each year geomorphology
data collection has moved earlier and is too early in the monitoring year to adequately reflect MY3 progression. Please ensure MY4 data collection is done later in the monitoring year
and strive for consistency over the length of the entire monitoring period.

This electronic copy is an official Department of the Army Notification. If you wish to receive a paper copy, one will be mailed upon request.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
