Follow-up
I conducted a follow-up inspection to look at the wetland remediation area. The facility notified us on April 20, 2022 that they had a sediment release to a wetland area. Facility determined the size of the impacted area to be 0.21 acres. During the follow up visit I conducted soil probes to determine if hydric soils were present and also took pictures of vegetation to allow our biologist to look at, to identify any wetland vegetation. I did document that based on soil color hydric soils were present. Our biologist was able to identify sweetgum sapling, trumpet vine, green briar, and what looked like raspberry from the pictures I took of the wetland remediation area. I reminded facility that they will need to do an assessment of the wetland remediation area in May of 2023 and that it should include the following: average depth to seasonal water table, any large tree mortality, general stability of the area, survival of any sowed vegetation, and photo documentation of the site.
