Subject: As -Built Walk Field Notes - White Farm
Hey Barrett,
DWR staff performed the As -Built Walk for the White Farm on June 29, 2022, which is a
requirement prior to the issuance of a credit release for Task 2. During the site visit, the
followingthings were observed:
1. All monitoring plots were installed, stem spacing within plots was consistent with the rest
of the site, stem density was good except in areas noted in Item 2, planted stems were
mostly healthy with good vigor, seeding across the site was good with only a few minor
areas where seeding had yet to get established and the easement boundary was
adequately marked.
2. Low vigor and sparse areas were seen in some areas. These areas are identified in PINK
on the attached figure. IRS needs to address these areas in the Year 1 Monitoring Report.
3. Little to no planted stems were observed throughout most of the site along top of bank to
a width of 12'-25' in most areas. Some areas were densely vegetated with small
blackberry stems and other weeds, which did make it slightly difficult to observe the areas
in full. These areas are identified in ORANGE on the attached figure.
IRS has two options: 1) Perform sufficient rectangular transects running parallel to
features in all areas where DWR staff did not observe planted stems and provide
vegetation data to DWR in the Year 1 Monitoring Report to confirm stems are present or,
2) IRS must submit an Adaptive Management Plan with the Year 1 Monitoring Report
committing to replant all these areas and provide supporting documentation, including
photos showing planted stems, to document the replant. It is likely that only 1 maybe 2
rows of stems will need to be planted along these areas to meet stem density
requirements where planted stems are not present. Due to the substantial areas
affected, DWR will not issue a full credit release for Task 2.
4. Some plots did not have all stems flagged in the plots. IRS needs to make sure all stems
are flagged in plots during the assessment of plots in Year 1.
5. The easement boundary observed onsite above Feature 1 along the farm path is not
consistent with the Figure provided by IRS. This figure needs to be updated to show the
correct easement boundary and submit with the As -Built Report with supporting survey.

6. Additional T-posts need to be added in areas where the easement boundary was difficult
to follow. Additional easement posts are identified as a RED DOT on the attached figure.
7. No conservation easement placards were installed along the easement boundary. IRS is
to install easement placards along the entire easement boundary and provide photo
documentation with the submittal of the AsBuilt Report.
