It was recommended that f�e contact Cole Environmental Services (CES) to assess the existing vegetation. On September 11, 2021, CES conducted a site visit and documented the property using ground-level and drone photography. i FINDINGS Upland Area I The south-west side of the property was primarily vegetated With non-native/invasive species. Some idgenous species were present. Below is a list of species found in this aIea of the property. Non Native/Invasive Species • Black Locust Tree • Tree of Heaven • Phragmites • Mugwort • Privet i • Mile-a-Minute i • Bittersweet I Native Species • Groundsel Bush • Green Briar • Posion Ivy • Goldenrod I i i I i I Environmental Consulting Wetland Project MaInagement 425 Montauk Highway East Quogue, NY 11942 (631) 369-94145 www.ColeEnvironmentJlServices.com I CES advises that the non-native/invasive species within the reed outlined area shown in Figure 1, be removed with hand tools (ie: not large machinery). Native plants should remain untouched or transplanted. Once the area has been cleared, CES recommends vegetating ithe area with low lying native vegtetation. If designed properly, the native vegetation will, enhance the landscape while allowing for views of the water, prevent erosion, help improve the local water quality, and support pollinators. CES can recommend a landscape designer to create a plan and complete the removal/!nstallatign as needed.

The ease: end of Long Island is a fragile ecosystem, and small changes can have a significant positive affect. To take full advantage of the property's natural beauty, CES recommends a few simple improvernents. Plant native gardens and rain gardens. Properties on the water are not only environmentally sensitive, but they are also becoming more vulnerable as climate change progresses. A major concern for water front homeowners is flooding. Strategically placed native gardens (rain gardens) near gutter downspouts can protect hones and landscaping during storms and protect the health of the waterway, benefiting the homeowner and the local ecosystem. Unlike turf grass, native plants have deep root systems. These deep roots absorb significantly more water during storms, helping to prevent or reduce the affects of flooding. The root systems also help to filter pollutants from directly entering the water, thus having a positive impact on water quality. Install a Tick border Install 3' wide wood chip, stone,gravel, etc border in between planting areas and lawn area to deter ticks. Reduce fertilizer use, where applicable. Excessive amounts of nitrogen negatively impact the waterways, causing fish kills and harmful algal blooms. Nitrogen commonly enters the waterways during rain storms. It should be noted that the correctly choosen native plants do not require fertilizer. A native buffer along the water would help filter and prevent fertilizer from directly entering the water. Install a smart sprinkler control. Smart sprinkler systems work with your current sprinklers and are WiFi enabled. They use local weather forecasts to prevent watering during storms, which will save water and help prevent flooding.
