RESPONSE TO COMMENTS > CWI-19000
The following are the response comments for the above -mentioned project. The only edits that were made to the
Nutrient Offset Banking Instrument (NOBI) were to respond to the DWR comments as follows. Our response
comments are in bold.
WHIRLIGIG STATION — FINAL NOBI REVIEW

1. Page 3 — Later within the document, the Engineering Division is referred to as the "Engineering Division"
instead of as the "Long Term Steward." I think we should say, "Engineering Division" here in the Introduction
and continue to refer to the Engineering Division as the Long Term Steward where applicable. edit as follows:
> ...the City of Wilson Engineering Division ("Engineering Division") acting as the long term steward, ...."
> Make sure the Engineering Division is further referred to in the document as such instead of as "Long
Term Steward"
McAdams Response: Revised.
2. Page 4 — Should "education" be "reduction"? "Nutrient load reduction activities"....?
McAdams Response: Yes, revised.
3. Page 4 —There is no reason to refer to the O&M Agreement as Attachment A since Item A above says that it
will be referenced as "O&M Agreement" from now on in the document. Remove "Attachment A' throughout
the document where it occurs after Item A of this section and replace with "O&M Agreement".
McAdams Response: Revised.
4. Page 6 — Remove text and just cite Engineering Division (see my comments in the Introduction of the doc).
McAdams Response: Revised.
5. Page 7 — I removed "therefore" and replaced with "and/or" because failure to maintain the SCM may not
always result in the SCM not operating efficiently.

> and/or.
McAdams Response: Text revisions completed.

6. Page 8 — Based on conversation today, remove references to Appendix I and J and update Appendices
accordingly.
McAdams Response: Done.
9. Page 8 — See cross out on sheet.
McAdams Response: Removed.
10. Page 8 — Replacement or major repair of the Nutrient Offset SCM.
McAdams Response: Replaced.
11. Page 8 — See cross out on sheet.
McAdams Response: Removed.
12. Page 8 — For this last sentence, is there a specific reference we can add, like a link where this budget will
always be provided for the public to see? If not, then I suggest rewriting the last sentence to read as follows:
"A good resource for more detailed information would be to view the most current version of the City's
Annual Budget for that year.
McAdams Response: Replaced.
13. Page 8 — We have not defined "Risk Management Fund". Can we say that Appendix J represents that "Risk
Management Fund"? if so, add language that speaks to that in the first sentence, which would formally
introduce the Risk Management Fund.
McAdams Response: Defined and clarified it's intent.
14. Page 8 —A liability insurance provider.
McAdams Response: Replaced.
15. Page 8 —There is a reference to a "Replacement Fund" here, but i have not seen that term used yet in this
section. Should it be the "General Fund" or the "Risk Management Fund" instead? If this represents a 4th type
of fund, we need to formally introduce it before referring to it so formally.
McAdams Response: Should be Risk Management Fund to build on paragraph N. Has been corrected.
16. Page 8 — See cross out on sheet.
McAdams Response: Removed.
17. Page 9 — For initial construction costs.
McAdams Response: Added.
18. Page 9 — Necessary.
