associated with year 4 annual monitoring (143.80 Warm Water SMUs); and
• 10% of the total enhancement and/or restoration SMUs associated with the stream
bankfull standard (287.60 Warm Water SMUs).
Based on a review of the data provided for the stream restoration on the site, we

enhancement credits) have been released for sale.
