BIOIMPACT, INC. P.O. BOX 132 KINGSHILL ST. CROIX, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS 00851 3 September 14, 2018 Jonathan Pempek U. S. Army Corps of Engineer Re: Great and Little St. James Dear Jonathon; First we would like to thank you for your help in resolving these issues. We have addressed each of the non-compliance issues raised in relationship to the islands of Little St. James and Great St. James. As per your email of Apri113, 2018 Great St. James Wetland We have removed the fill landward of the mangrove fringe working waterward and landward on Great St. James. The fill has been removed from the wetland area and white mangrove seeds have been being spread in the wetland and seedlings are beginning to sprout. The roadway to the southern landing site was elevated during the flooding associated with hurricanes Irma and Maria and the subsequent heavy rains. The elevating of the roadway resulted in fill being placed into the edge of the wetland and into the low lying area adjacent to it. Fill has been pulled back from the southern side of the wetland and the edges of the wetland and low-lying area and stabilized with riprap. Large boulders covered with filter fabric have been placed beneath the roadway to allow the flow of water to and from the wetland. During periods of high seas water flows over the shoreline to the north and flows across the neck of the peninsula in to the saltpond. This function has been restored. White mangrove seeds have been scattered in the pond and seedling are being to grow. These will be monitored and a report will be sent to the US Army Corps showing the survival of 20 mangroves in April of 2019. EFTA00808511
