Overall the riparian vegetative cover and plant species diversity at the site are very high. Other
than the issues noted above, the site continues to progress extremely well and all of the Year 5
success standards for the site have been achieved. This is the last monitoring visit for year 5
an annual report for year 5 shall be submitted to the City in the coming months. If you have any
questions, please call Halleh Paymard at (856) 300-4333, or email at

Sincerely,
Halleh Paymard, Botanist
