notes
Thank you for these, Emily. I want to reiterate and clarify that I do think you need to replace (not just retrofit)
the 3-barreled culvert on the mainstem with another option. A ford would be appropriate, but if this isn't
done, a retrofit that only addresses roughness and aquatic organism passage won't address the long-term
stability issues associated with 3 barrels set at the same elevation.

Steve,
Here are the meeting notes and action items that we had from the as -built field walk on 3/23. Please let me know if you
have any additions or revisions.
At the IRT's request, I did check in with our stewardship team on invasive treatments to date at the site. There was a
multi -day treatment on most reaches across the site that addressed privet, tree of heaven, and princess tree in
i

November 2019. Invasive vegetation on or near restoration reaches was mechanically removed with equipment during
construction. Please let me know if you would like me to document this effort as a comment response to the as -built
package review, an addendum to the as -built report, or just include in the MY1 package. We will continue invasive
treatment throughout the site with particular attention to the areas noted by the IRT during our as -built site walk.

Kim was able to get me authorized for the Western banks, so I just uploaded the Draft As -built Report for the Critcher
Brothers Mitigation Site (SAW 2017-01913) to RIBITs.
The document has been uploaded to the DWR Laserfiche system as well.
Please let us know if you have any issues with the PDF or need anything else prior to the site visit on the 23ra
