Subject: [EXTERNAL] NS080 Task 2 Reminder
"This Email was sent from an external source. Please be mindful of its content"
Good morning, Marjorie,
I hope you had a great thanksgiving, and are enjoying the season!
I'm reaching out with a reminder that your Task 2, Final Report -Draft, is due to me no later than 12/15/2022, with the
Final Report- Final due 1/15/2023.
Here is a refresher of what is needed in the Final Report Draft:
Deliverables: The Grantee will prepare a Final Report summarizing the results of the project, including all tasks in the
Grant Work Plan.
The Final Report must include at a minimum: DEP Agreement No. NS080, Attachment 3, Page 2 of 2
• Project location and background, project description and timeline, grant award amount and anticipated
benefits.
• Financial summary of actual costs versus the budget, along with any changes required to the budget. Include any
match or locally pledged contributions provided, along with other related project work performed outside of
this Agreement to identify the overall project cost.
• Discussion of project schedule versus actual completion, including changes required to the schedule,
unexpected site conditions and adjustments, significant unexpected delays and corrections, and/or other
significant deviations from the original project plan.
• Summary of activities completed as well as those not completed and why, as well as a brief summary of any
additional phases yet to be completed.
• Dated color photographs of work performed (representative of the entire project), appropriate figures (site
location, site plan(s), etc.), appropriate tables summarizing data/information relevant to Grant Work Plan tasks,
and appropriate attachments relevant to the project.
• Projects associated with and listed in a Water Quality Restoration Plan are expected to be maintained for the life
of the project to retain reduction credits under the Plan(s) unless noted otherwise. If possible, identify the
expected lifetime of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) and if there is a detailed plan to operate and
maintain the system through this period. If possible, describe the amount of time, cost, and work will be
required to operate and maintain the system.
Documentation:
1) A copy of the draft Final Report in Word format
2) A copy of the Department -approved Final Report in Word or PDF format.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and have a wonderful day,
