DESCRIPTION OF RESTORATION / MITIGATION
Description of Required Wetland Restoration and / or Mitigation:
N / A
Description of Required Stream Restoration and / or Mitigation:
Removal of earthen dike that was constructed within and across Plum Creek to divert water to an adjacent
field to the northwest. Further downstream, removal of ten concrete box culverts and concrete rubble used
to construct a single - lane stream crossing approximately 16 feet wide and 35 feet long. Restoration of
stream banks to pre - impact conditions; revegetation with seed mix specified in approved restoration plan.
Construction of low water crossing per specifications in approved restoration plan.
Restoration / Mitigation Start Date:Restoration / Mitigation Completion% Complete: 100%
November 2015Date: Spring 2017 (remedial
measures to address bank erosion)
Review of As - Built Report:
As - built survey was completed 01/29/16 and submitted to EPA 02/04/16 with photos of restoration site.
Visual Observations
Overall, the site was robustly vegetated, with significantly greater cover than was observed by EPA
inspectors in 2018, when the site was characterized as well - vegetated. Previously eroded banks that were
regraded and seeded / planted in the fall of 2016 and the spring of 2017 were observed to remain in good
condition and have further stabilized with increased vegetation that has grown since 2018. The low - water
crossing remains in good condition following removal of boulders prior to 2018 that were improperly
placed along the eastern bank. Upstream, the restored area where the earthen dike had been constructed
within and across Plum Creek to divert water remains in good condition.
Owner / Operator Statement:
In subsequent communication following inspection, current owner indicated green fence posts marking
restoration area would be removed, as well as any remaining weathered " CAUTION " tape.

and replacement with low - water crossing and small amount of riprap; regrading of stream banks and
reseeding / planting.
