We compare this to the biological communities we anticipate will result from restoration activities. In brief,the site's wetland currently consists primarily of a degraded Shallow Marsh,dominated by invasive cattails, purple loosestrife, and reed canary grass. The proposed wetland is designed to consist of a large,diverse Wet Meadow with an area of Deep Marsh. EXISTING VS.PROPOSED BIOTA The following table provides metrics for comparing existing and proposed biological communities(pre-and post-construction)at the Nelson Restoration site wetland. Some existing conditions values were estimated. All proposed conditions values were estimated. Proposed conditions are for two to three years post-construction. Estimates were based on our professional experience in comparable wetlands in the region and expected, realistic restoration outcomes.

Sustainable Solutions for Over 30 Years. www.appliedeco.com i i We lack data on pollinator species richness(bee,fly, beetle,moth,butterfly, etc.). However, given the low forb richness and abundance at the site currently, and the expected increase in forb richness and abundance as a result of the restoration, it is likely that pollinators will increase in presence and abundance. Vegetation monitoring and reporting is proposed to continue for three years to ensure that j performance standards are met for restored wetland vegetation.Wildlife monitoring and reporting was initiated in 2014,with two sampling rounds completed,and a third planned for late September/early October. These pre-construction wildlife data are being collected to document the response of birds,frogs,toads,dragonflies,and damselflies to the restoration project. Post-construction monitoring data will be compared to pre-construction data in order to document changes in presence and abundance of these groups in response to the restoration project. i I i i i i I j I I I i I I I i i 2
