Scarborough Bank Parcel Credit Release — Task 3
Dear Mr. McIntyre:
On February 23, 2021, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) received an As -Built Report from
Water & Land Solutions (WLS) for the Scarborough site. According to the As -Built survey
submitted with the As -Built Report, there are slight adjustments in the total amounts of buffer
mitigation and nutrient offset credits as compared to the approved Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient
Offset Plan (Plan). The subject site has generated 694,782 ft2 of riparian buffer credits from coastal
headwater riparian restoration, and 35,390.92 lbs-Nitrogen nutrient offset credits.
DWR has received a performance bond (#SUR2003575) issued to WLS from Frankenmuth Mutual
Insurance Company, in the amount of $100,000, to cover monitoring and maintenance at the subject
site. The term of this bond applies beginning December 18, 2020 and ends with the approval of the
Year 1 Monitoring Report by the DWR. Future credit releases will be dependent on both the renewal
of this performance bond and the annual monitoring reports.
In accordance with the MBI, signed on November 18, 2019, the following Project Milestones have
been met and the corresponding credits shall be released:
