Based on the as-built site measurements the requested credit release is 4.45 riparian wetland credits and 1,132 stream credits. The ledger showing these amounts is also enclosed.

Accounting for as -built credits (8,419) and subtraction of preservation credits (151.7), first 15% should now be corrected as follows: o First release = 1,394 0 15% of 8,419 = 1,263 0 1St release preservation pull back = 131 • Requested post - construction release 0 15% milestone = 1,263 credits o less 18t release P (131) = 1,132 A current ledger is attached.
