RE: 2021 Annual Summary of Stormwater Basin Monitoring
The Enclave at Rye Brook, Section 129.35, Block 1, Lot 13
Dear Mr. Nowak:
This letter will serve as our annual summary of the work that has been done to monitor
and maintain the stormwater basins at The Enclave at Rye Brook since our last annual
summary letter dated October 21, 2020. 1 inspected the basins on September 20, 2021 to
evaluate the condition of the plants and the water levels within each basin. As you are
aware, work was done to adjust the water level in both basins since the last annual
inspection in the fall of 2020, and additional plants were added to screen the upper basin
from the nearby units. At the time of my inspection,the water in the lower basin was
clear, but there was no water visible in the upper basin or in the outlet stream below the
lower basin.
As in past inspections, both basins were fully vegetated, and the plants appear to be in
good health. There was no evidence of the re-emergence of cattails (Typha latifolia),
although some common reed (Phragmites australis) was observed on the banks and floor
of the upper basin, The photographs below are representative of the basin conditions near
the end of the 2021 growing season. Note the extensive emergent vegetation that has

become established around the edge of the water in the lower basin, as well as on the
entire basin floor in the upper basin.

Based on our inspections during the 2021 growing season, it is my professional opinion
that the plantings in and around the stormwater basins are in general conformance with
the approved plans for this project. If you have any questions, or would like additional
documentation,please do not hesitate to contact me.
