Re: Site Inspection &Wetlands Evaluation
i
OVERVIEW
The client, Richard Liebowitz, expressed the desire to remove vegetation on part of his property located at 1000
Beachwood Lane in Southold, NY. 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

Native Species

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.

CES RECOMMENDATIONS
It is important to note that while the water is a draw for residents and visitors alike, many commonplace
practices directly harm the health of the water. 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.
