This Long-Term Management Plan (LTMP) is designed to ensure the perpetual management, monitoring, and maintenance of The Cherrystone Mitigation Site. The plan establishes objectives and tasks for monitoring, managing, maintaining, and reporting on wetlands, state waters, and associated protected buffers, as well as covered species and habitats. Key areas include biological resource management (wetlands and invasive species), site security and public access, infrastructure maintenance, and detailed reporting and administration. The overarching goal is to preserve the site's habitat and conservation values, funded through a dedicated Long-Term Management Fund, to ensure the continued viability of its biological resources and to compensate for wetland impacts.

The key discussion topics for this meeting include introductions, presentation of rate update notifications, and an interactive session dedicated to these updates, followed by a summary of the proceedings. The meeting specifically addresses Dmas FFS Rate Updates that are scheduled to become effective on July 1, 2026.
