(WED) submits this letter to request a Certificate of Compliance for the Order of Conditions SE83-2223, issued on 3/13/2020. A partial Certificate of Compliance was requested and approved on 2/23/2021 due to a change in ownership of the property. The approved project included 11,620 square feet of vegetation management to remove invasive Phragmites australis Bordering Vegetated Wetland and non-native, invasive, and aggressive plant species from the and associated upland area and planting of the native shrubs specified on the approved Restoration Plan. The initial scope of work was completed in May of 2020 with follow up activities taking place in the subsequent years as documented in the three annal monitoring reports submitted to the Conservation Commission. At this time, WED believes that the project is in substantial compliance with the Order of Conditions and recommends that Yarmouth Conservation Commission grant a Certificate of Compliance. WED requests an ongoing condition for follow-up management to stop the reintroduction of invasive and non-native plant species, such as Phragmites australis, within the project area. This proposed maintenance would consist of hand removal or treatment of any State-listed invasive or non-native plants species that are observed establishing in the project areas. This ongoing condition will ensure the restoration area continues to be monitored and managed accordingly for invasive plant re-sprouts while the native plant communities continue to evolve and mature. Thank you for your consideration in this matter and please let me know if you have any questions.
