Hi Kristi,
The IRT is okay with the proposed species list and you may proceed with the proposed supplemental
planting. Please note that the IRT is concerned that this is the second year portions of the site
needed to be replanted. As previously discussed during the IRT Adaptive Management Plan review,
please ensure you provide additional transects in supplemental planting areas to demonstrate stem
survival in future monitoring reports. As a reminder, an additional year of monitoring is required in
MY6. If data suggests that the vegetative performance is not on a trajectory for success, an
additional year of monitoring in MY8 may be required. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Casey

Hi Casey,
I hope that you are enjoying the Holiday Season. I wanted to touch base with you per the request of
Harry Tsomides (DMS PM for Alexander Farm) to see if you could post the following request for IRT
review. We are needing to supplementally plant approximately 2.1 acres or 11.9% of the planted
area this winter at Alexander Farms. These areas consist of some of the existing wetlands and
riparian areas that are trending wetter than originally anticipated. Since the approved Mitigation
Plan did not include a separate wetland planting list, we are requesting the IRT's review of the
proposed supplemental planting list for these areas. Please see the attached list for use in this
request. If you need any additional information or have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you very much!
