Great Pond has no direct inlets or outlets, being fed primarily from watershed runoff. Due to a common reed (Phragmites australis) infestation that has proliferated since the late 9O's, SOLitude has been requested to create an aquatic management program to control this invasive species. Scope of Service/Deliverables During 2017 The objective of this project is to control approximately 3.3 acres of common reed, that is currently surrounding the shoreline margin of the waterbody (Refer to attached map). The methods proposed include hydro-raking to remove the water based common reed and attached rhizome structure, and land based control through manual cutting and covering with black plastic (soil solarization). The description of the Tasks/Deliverables for 2017 is provided below, as shown the management plan is broken out into Phase 1 and Phase 2. If water depths are lower than anticipated, Phase 2 will be enacted to manage the land based common reed not reachable by the hydro-rake. PHASE 1 Establishment/ Preparation of Staging Area and Mobilization of Equipment Prior to mechanical operations,SOLitude would mobilize a power washed 'weed free' hydro- rake and transport barge at the established shoreline entry site. The staging area would then be prepared by mobilizing an excavator at the associated off-load area. Hay bales and/or straw wattles will be employed to prevent soil erosion at each off-load area. In addition, a turbidity curtain can be installed around the project area to localize water quality disturbance.This curtain would be moved throughout the project, making sure it is in around the current management area. Hydro-raking Operations While in operation, the common reed would be mechanically removed by the hydro-rake, and placed onto the transport barge. Once full, the hydro-rake operator would transport the barge to the designated off-load area for removal - located at the western Suffolk County boat launch. A stationary excavator will then be utilized to collect the material off of the barge and place it in a dewatering area. Once dewatered the material would be transferred into a dump truck to be hauled to the local disposal facility.At the disposal facility, the material will be chipped/covered as a preventative measure of re-infestation. The spoils in the dewatering pile will be transported twice a week to the disposal facility, presumably on Wednesdays and Fridays. 111 ills Rake Arm 8 feet Reaching Depth 0-10 feet a Lifting Capacity 1 ton Propulsion System paddle wheels Minimum Operating Depth 18 inches Image 1: Hydro-rake Competitively Sensitive&Proprietary Materials—The information contained herein is the intellectual property of SOLitude Lake Management.

The area will be groomed, and all plant material will be removed from the equipment to prevent re-infestation. PHASE 2 Terrestrial Infestation Any remaining land based common reed will be manually cut,and covered with 10 Mil black construction plastic to keep the seed bed from germinating and to enhance decomposition. The plastic will then be covered with at least two inches of mulch to stabilize the plastic covering, preventing oxygen flow and sunlight penetration. Erosion control measures (straw wattles)will be left along the shoreline to prevent contamination of Great Pond. These should be smothered in early spring and left for a full growing season, to ensure proper control. TENTATIVE SCHEDULE OF PERFORMANCE(20171 • Phase 1......................................................................................Early Fall 2017 • Phase 2......................................................................................Spring of 2018 The above schedule is tentative. This schedule will be altered based on mean water level, and the result obtained as the project progresses further. EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES The hydro-rake equipment uses biodegradable hydraulic fluid. A petroleum spill response kit is maintained on each piece of mechanical equipment. In the event that the hydro-rake assigned to this project cannot be repaired onsite within 48 hours, a replacement will be deployed.

After work has been completed on a given water body, all equipment is physically and expertly inspected for any water,which would indicate a leak. All vegetation and debris is removed from the deck surfaces, paddle wheels, drive chains, and sprockets. A bleach solution is applied with a sprayer,and the equipment is washed with soapy water and thoroughly rinsed with a pressure washer. Finally, all equipment is allowed to dry. These measures are employed prior to transport to the next water body and are part of SOLitude's routine equipment maintenance. Alternatives Analysis: Alternatives to the proposed Aquatic Plant Management Plan were considered. Benthic Barriers: Not Recommended Physical controls, such as the use of bottom weed barriers can be effective for small dense patches of submersed aquatic vegetation; however, this method is not feasible for emergent vegetation such as large stands of common reed. Biological: Not Recommended There are no proven biological controls available or approved by the State for the control of the invasive aquatic plant species present at Great Pond. Herbicide: Not Recommended Although herbicide applications are often used in conjunction with hydro-raking to control water based invasive and emergent vegetation, this method is not proposed for this project. Do Nothing: Not Recommended If the common reed infestation is allowed to continue unabated, Great Pond's hydrologic cycle will be significantly altered. The pond will continue to fill in at an accelerated rate, native vegetation will be negated from repopulating, and fish spawning/breeding habitat will be eliminated. These dense stands will also impede the movement of aquatic fauna such as ducks, herons, and Egret, due to their large plant structure. In addition, the common reed will promote stagnant conditions that will increase water temperatures promoting both algal and bacterial growth as well as providing extensive mosquito breeding habitat.The pond's recreational,aesthetic,and socioeconomic value would be significantly degraded.
