I think too some of the area on the woods side of the wall�uld be included in the calculation. We we put some peat moss along the base of the wall on that side too and are obviously letting that grow in with natural grass too. Again, my calculations were off of using one of those 100'tapes and accounting for the boulders(approximately 2 feet)and roughly 2 feet of natural grass along the wall as stated by Courtney. Also the fire pit and about 4-5'along the entirety of the area encompassing it with natural grass as well. We still have a bag of peat moss out there and plan to put that down in some of the areas along the wall that did not take as well from our initial planting with a little more short/dry grass seed.

I am concerned because the area that you marked on your reveg plan is the area befinreen the retaining wall, as you drew it in, and the required buffer boundary. The area befinreen the retaining wall and the required buffer boundary is 10' wide at points, as you can see in the exhibit. This was the basis of our determination documented in the inspection report. If the area that has been fixed is �750 square feet, then, honoring the agreement with Courtney, we will not require any additional sod removal. I will have an inspector confirm on site so we can wrap this up. Also, to clarify, MCWD determined that we are not requiring formal monitoring of the buffer-just conformance with the normal no-mow/no-hard-surface/etc rules within the buffer. 4
