Darcy,
As requested by the Commission we have been working on a plan for stabiliza on and re-vegeta on…..
The overall site plan was ge ng pre y busy, so we have prepared the a ached supplemental sheet.
I would an cipate that final stabiliza on plans might typically be worked out through the contractor work protocol and
pre-construc on mee ngs…….but I did have conversa ons with the likely contractor and based on that have incorporated
nota ons about runoff / silta on control along the top and bo om of the slope un l vegeta on is stable, and for the use
of Jute mesh on the slope itself.
For the revegeta on of the disturbed areas we envision and have called for the vegeta on to transi on 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
stabiliza on, 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 na ve grasses typically of a bank / buffer understory will add to the stabiliza on beyond the shrub plan ngs
alone.
If there are any addi onal thoughts or concerns in an cipa on of Tuesday, please let us know.
We have been told that NHESP has dra ed an approval le er, but we have not yet received it.

If we have not heard back from NHESP by tomorrow night – should we (I) plan to come to the mee ng anyways to open
