Aachments: 11MarchantNourishRevegetate_08112023-2.pdf Darcy, As requested by the Commission we have been working on a plan for stabilizaon and re-vegetaon….. The overall site plan was geng prey busy, so we have prepared the aached supplemental sheet. I would ancipate that final stabilizaon plans might typically be worked out through the contractor work protocol and pre-construcon meengs…….but I did have conversaons with the likely contractor and based on that have incorporated notaons about runoff / siltaon control along the top and boom of the slope unl vegetaon is stable, and for the use of Jute mesh on the slope itself. For the revegetaon of the disturbed areas we envision and have called for the vegetaon to transion from the pho dune predominantly beach grass to the east at # 27 back to more of a coastal bank / buffer like exists at #11. The top of revetement is at or near grade a the east end, so there won’t be much sloping earth to worry about stabilizaon, and the beach grass should hold well once rooted. As the top of wall lowers heading from east to west, and there will be a 3’ change of grade slope – we believe a ground cover of nave grasses typically of a bank / buffer understory will add to the stabilizaon beyond the shrub planngs alone. If there are any addional thoughts or concerns in ancipaon of Tuesday, please let us know. We have been told that NHESP has draed an approval leer, but we have not yet received it.
