RE: 2024 Annual Summary of Stormwater Basin Monitoring 7/21/2025
The Enclave at Rye Brook, Section 129.35, Block 1, Lot 13
Dear Mr. Nowak:
This letter will serve as the annual summary of the work that has been done to monitor and
maintain the stormwater basins at The Enclave at Rye Brook, and to document any changes to
the environment since the last annual summary letter. It is my professional opinion that the
current conditions of each basin demonstrate these ponds are healthy, functional as designed
and that there are no evidence of damage, invasive plants, or other ecological concerns; and
that no work other than historical maintenance is required at this time.
After reviewing past submitted Evans Associates Environmental Consulting, Inc. reports and
other documentation provided, and my last inspection in December 2023; I inspected the basins
on April 15, 2025 to evaluate the condition of the plants and the water levels within each basin
and document any substantiative changes from past reports, sightings of damage, invasive
plants or other ecological concerns.
As in past inspections' reported conditions, both basins were fully vegetated at the perimeters of
each pond, and the plants appear to be in good health. It was noted that in comparison to prior
years, each pond has not substantively changed with clear, open waters in the southern basin,
with no evidence of phragmites or other invasive wetlands plants; and the upper basin
containing various wetland reeds. The photographs at the end of this report are representative
of the basin conditions at this time.
Based on the November 16 inspection, it is my professional opinion that the basins are
performing as intended and 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.
Sincerely,
Donald R. Elmendorff PE
