Subject: Pancho Bank Parcel: DWR Project No. 2010-0099v3
Implementation of Remedial Action Plan

Dear Ms. Merritt –

In alignment with the August 23, 2018 partial credit release letter for Restoration Systems’ Pancho Bank
Parcel, RS implemented the agreed upon Remedial Action Plan on December 11th, 2018. This letter and
attachment photo log, detail the worked completed. Per the credit release letter, RS understands that a Site
visit will be required to release the remaining credits. At this time, RS does not plan to renew the monitoring
bond (#22BSBGQ8686) which expires on January 14, 2019. Please let me know if this is acceptable with the
Division.

Final Remedial Plan Specifics

- Area of Concern = 1.0482 ac. (bare area = .20 acres)
- Seed mix distributed over bare area
Seed Mix Notes
50 lbs. cereal rye typical application rate = 50 lbs. per acre, RS distributed 4x the typical application
rate
10 lbs. Bermuda (warm
season grass)
typical application rate = 5 lbs. per acre 5000 sq. ft. - RS distributed 13% more
than the typical application rate
5 lbs. ladino clover Typical application rate was applied
2 lbs. wildflower mix Purple coneflower, partridge pea, oxeye daisy, blackeyed susan, lanceleaf
coreopsis, plains coreopsis, Korean lespedeza, mistflower

- 10 bales of pine straw were distributed over areas of bare soil within the area of concern.
- Hand raking was not necessary as the ground was very soft.

Thank you,
Raymond H.

Subject: Pancho Buffer & Nutrient Site – Remedial Action Plan for Area of Poor Vegetation Coverage
Reference # 2010-0099v3

Dear Ms. Merritt:

During the Close-Out Site Visit conducted on March 28, 2018, a small area of the Pancho Buffer &
Nutrient-Offset Site exhibited poor ground cover and stunted tree growth. Located around vegetation
monitoring plots 11 and 12, the subject area is approximately 1.04 acres and is characterized by sandy
soils at the tow and along the slope between off-site terraces and the Project’s floodplain (see attached
reference map and photos – Attachment 1).

Restoration Systems (RS) contracted Axiom Environmental in April of 2018 to survey five linear
vegetation transects to determine the tree density within the subject area. The survey determined 566
planted stems per acre, with 1,522 total stems per acre to be living (Attachment 2). Based on this survey,
RS concluded that replanting of the area with hardwoods was not necessary, but that ground cover was
lacking in some areas.

To establish groundcover over bare areas within the subject area, RS proposes the following plan which
will establish a permanent ground while minimizing the impact to existing trees.

In late September or early October of 2018, RS will hand rake bare soil areas and seed the raked area with
perennial ryegrass and rye grain. RS will also seed the area with Bermuda grass for summertime coverage
in 2019 and beyond. RS will then place straw over the disturbed area to stabilize the seed. RS, will
establish multiple photo points and document the work by submitting a report to DWR once completed.
When the ground cover has established, RS will submit an additional report to DWR. If you or your staff
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 919-604-9314.

Sincerely,
Raymond Holz
Project Manager
