Casey, Erin, Kim and Todd;
The FINAL As -Built Baseline Monitoring Report and Record Drawings for the Blair Creek Mitigation
Project (DMS# 100047) were received by DIMS on May 19, 2022 and posted to the IRT SharePoint
site and DWR Laserfiche on May 19, 2022 for your review.

As-Built-MYO Project Credits:
4,363.370 SMUs (cold)

Mitigation Plan Lengths/Acreages:

As-Built-MYO Lengths/Acreages:
4556.06 ft
6.087 ac
Please Note:
The Mitigation Plan Length and As -built Length appear slightly different; however, the centerlines
are almost identical when the design and as -built are overlaid. There were no significant deviations
from design to construction. The difference in the two numbers is due to the crossing footage
removed from the mitigation plan footages/credits and included in the As -built footages. In
addition, there are slight differences between as -built center line stationing compared to mitigation
plan center line stationing. Project credits remain the same as specified in the IRT approved
mitigation plan.
Please note that Baker is requesting to move monitoring well #1 based on a DIMS comment following
the MYO site visit. The well is currently in a lower location and does not represent the surrounding
wetland area. Baker is proposing to move the well approximately 15-20' farther away from the
channel. Baker has provided an explanation, map and is requesting IRT approval to move this
gauge. Please see the DIMS comment letter response from Baker on page 4 of the PDF. Baker will
move the well once the IRT has approved the request.
