high marsh. Several month3 after the Initial overwash, elevation transects 

 were established across the fan to document sand surface changes and the 

 revegetacicn process. Test pits dug in the substrate demonstrated that the 

 initial vegetation was similar to the adjacent, nonoverwashed high marsh. 

 Surficial features such as drift lines and emergent vegetation were noted. 

 In 1975 the same transects were resurveyed, and both recovering and newly 

 established vegetation was recorded. A vegetation map of site 1 in 1975 

 appears in Figure 27. Plants did not recover from the initial sand deposit, 

 and small dunes developed in the location of the 1972 drift lines by 1975 

 (Fig. 28).
