Photos show need for permanent groundcover on the north and south ends of the pond.  To allow full release of the permit and bond, the State is going to require full coverage of  all clear or disturbed areas with permanent perennial groundcover such as fescue or Bermuda grass.  Rye grass is good for Spring but is not considered permanent groundcover.  

South End

Bare or partially covered ground is mainly on the south end of the pond.  Slopes and top edge have been freshly graded and are in good shape but need more groundcover sown.  Slopes are in good shape with a few minor rills forming from rainfall.

North End

Ruts and rills on the pond slopes will need to be graded and levelled before groundcover is sown.  Severe erosion from rainfall.
