Dear Ms. Allen,
DWR Project # 2012-0064v1
Union County
On August 30, 2021, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) received a close-out packet from you
on behalf of the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) requesting approval to close-out the subject
site for monitoring and maintenance of the riparian areas where riparian buffer credit is generated.
On September 15, 2021, Katie Merritt with DWR reviewed site documents with you and determined
that a site visit would not be necessary to close out the site. The asset map and asset table, both
initialed by Ms. Merritt on September 15, 2021, are attached.
DWR has reviewed the close-out request and the following is approved:
