Lath that marks edge of buffer is in place for the most part except along the graded portion <br /> of the buffer. Did a good job of preserving a good portion of the existing buffer. <br /> 2. Sod has been recently placed and it appears to be placed in the correct location with no <br /> encroachment into the buffer. <br /> 3. Buffer was recently seeded and at this time the only vegetation is the cover crop of oats <br /> which is sparse. Top soil along the buffer areas seeded is sparse. <br /> 4. Erosion control silt fence was installed to protect the wetland. It has been affective. There <br /> is one small area (approximately 10 linear feet along the silt fence) that sediment has built up <br /> due to slope erosion from watering. Silt fence has about 6 more inches of capacity until silt <br /> flows into the wetland. <br /> Recommendations: <br /> Re-spread or remove sediment build up along silt fence. <br /> Check back at a later date on seeding establishment in the buffer. Would be helpful if lath marking the <br /> buffer was added in the area graded adjacent/within the buffer. <br /> Let me know if you have questions or need any additional write-up. <br /> John <br /> f <br /> 6/21/2006 <br />
