Foy Farm Nutrient Offset Bank DWR #2020-1366 v2
AsBuilt Walkthrough Meeting April 8, 2024
Minutes:
DWR and RS visited the site on April 8, 2024 to observe work to date. Easement posts and markers were
installed and the site had been planted. DWR observed low stems at top of pond banks near monitoring
plots 5 and 27 and requested supplemental stems. Both areas had green spring growth of various land
cover species. Approximately 1 week later, RS install 300 stems along both areas using surplus trees of
the previously approved species. Photos of the general areas and close up of stems are included below
for record keeping.
