Kayne,
I understand that there have been delays due to weather, and we have been notified by several providers that planting
has been delayed. As we have told the other providers, I don't have any problem with planting extending into April
provided that you can still meet the 180 timeframe for monitoring. For the upcoming guidance, I believe we will also
state that if planting is not complete by April 30th, the growing season cannot count toward the required years of
monitoring, so just make sure you get all the plants in by that deadline.
Thank you,
Todd Tugwell

Hi All,
This email is to notify the IRT that we are currently constructing the Horne Creek Tributaries mitigation project (USACE
#SAW-2017-01510, DWR #17-1156). We are requesting approval for vegetation planting to be completed by mid to late
April. We understand the standard/guidance is to finish site planting by March 15th as stated in the mitigation plan. As
of today, the contractor and subs/vendors are continuing all construction activities, including planting, and we plan to

install veg plots at least 180 days prior to the initiation of the first year of monitoring (MY1). This may of course change
depending on state/federal restrictions and we'll have to manage accordingly. Hope you and yours stay safe and healthy
during this unprecedented situation.
