the Level U| protocol for reporting vegetation says that trees <1Ucm should beignored. EcoEngimeering's

would change the Height Class tn1D-50 cm, on all future monitoring reports.
o Response Needed:
P'lease provide am explanation asto why this was not accounted for im the Year 3report.
Please change the height class from 0-50cm to 10I-50cm on thiis report and all future reports
Please modify all mf the data accordingly /DW(}is unable to approve Vf the data without
knowing how many mf the trees counted ln this height class were <1Ocm\. Any trees «1Ocno
shall be removed from the data and all numbers recalculated and provided to DVV[l
Please provide a response to DWQs comments, by January 5, 2013. Thank you; and have a great clay!
