I will make sure that not native vegetation will be harmed during the removal of the retaining wall and fill material. My goal is to carefully start the removal of the fill first in order to not harm any surrounding native flora, and once the original grade has been reached, carefully remove the wall. The timeline should be to start the fill removal within the next 15 days and hopefully be done by the end of September, if not mid October. Once that has been accomplished, I will in proceed to plant some native flora species as recommended in the approved plans by the NYSDEC, such as cotton bush, native ferns and native grass. This should be the second half of the restoration, hopefully will be done by November 1 st. If you have any other recommendations regarding the native species, I will be very happy to hear them.

As we discussed in the field, the retaining wall and fill material surrounding your house were installed without the required approvals, to the detriment of the wetlands and marine environment surrounding Laurel Lake, and must be removed. The area should be restored to its original natural grade and condition by removing the illegally built retaining wall and removal of all fill. During the removal and restoration process, care must be taken to ensure that no existing native vegetation is disturbed. Preserving the native plants is essential for the stability and ecological integrity of the area.
