Subject: RE: Jacobs Ladder (DWR #12 -0774) and Jacobs Landing (DWR #12 -0773) Credit
Modificaiton Request Letters (UNCLASSIFIED)
Todd
DWR has reviewed the requests submitted for the above - referenced projects. These projects included an IRT site visit
and review through the EEP portal.
The approaches described in the mitigation plans for the referenced reaches were fairly non - quantitative and appeared
to represent an Enhancement I approach, which was approved by the IRT. The activities conducted appeared consistent
with the descriptions of mitigation measures proposed in the approved mitigation plans. Again, the mitigation plans
were not quantitative in nature, and E1 spans a wide variety of mitigation treatments.
During the analysis phase of these projects, if the provider and EEP felt the initial assessment and proposal were
incorrect /inappropriate, consultation with the IRT and re- review of the project stream conditions and mitigation
approaches should have been requested and approval of revisions sought (note process taken with the Pancho bank
site).
Minor adjustments often occur during construction and are expected, and are described in the as -built report. Linear
footage /acreage of mitigation and associated credits are then normally finalized. However, in this case changing the
name of the mitigation approach and associated credit after construction does not appear warranted as the activities
conducted appear to be fairly consistent with what was described in the approved mitigation plans.
Please contact me if you wish to discuss.

All,
Pursuant to our discussions during the last IRT meeting on May 13th, please see the attached letters from Tim Morris
with KCI. The letters are requesting a modification to the amount of credit proposed for two of the tributaries that were
constructed as part of the project. The presentation that was provided to the IRT during the meeting is also available on
the IRT portion of the RI BITS website.
As we discussed during the meeting, the attached letters have been prepared to provide justification for the requested
credit modification. Please review the attached letters and provide any comments to me within 30 days of this emails
(June 20th).
Thanks,
