Hey Jeff,
I just finished looking over the Pepperwood Farm Baseline Monitoring Document & As-Built Report. I just have a few
things that caught my eye that I had questions about. They are as follows:
1.why wasn’t the degraded agricultural pipe removed & replaced at UT-3 as proposed in the Mitigation Plan?

2.page 6, RS states that vegetation will be recorded between June 1 and October 30. However, DWR does not

support vegetation sampling until late August at the earliest.
3.when we were out visiting Terrible Creek @ closeout, we both noticed a lot of crush stone placed at the location

where RS removed and installed a pipe at UT-5. This particular area was the southernmost end of UT-5 just
North of the Terrible Creek project. You had mentioned that you would ask about that, and whether the stone
was actually placed in the stream or not & if some of that stone needed to be removed. Was there any follow-up
by EEP on this?

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to review this document.

Katie

Katie,

I am the project manager for Pepperwood Farm now. The direction I received from Jessica was to send you the FINAL
version of the As-built Baseline report for your files. This document basically tells us what RS did and what they planted and
how they are going to monitor the site. I don’t believe you really need to comment on this, but if when you are looking
through it if something catches your eye or you see something that concerns you, please let me know and I will pass that along
to RS.

Hey Jeff,
I just got in an As-Built Report for the Pepperwood Farm Mitigation Site. Who has been assigned this project now over
at EEP? Also, Jessica would want me to review these type of docs and then report back to her with any comments or
questions I may have. Is EEP requesting this same process?

Thanks
Katie
