Dear Kim and IRT,
This is Matt DeAngelo from RES. I am closely involved with the Dugout Project and wanted to notify you and the rest of
the applicable IRT of a minor update to our planting approach, and if for nothing else, to sustain transparency on project
developments.
RES will soon be conducting tree planting activities at the Dugout Mitigation Project (SAW-2018-01883). We are
notifying you that we plan to incorporate additional tree species that were not listed in the approved mitigation plan.
The additional species are specialty understory species that will only be planted in the "Supplemental Planting Area"
which comprises about 1.51 acres. This planting zone correlates with the wetland enhancement approach for Wetland
WD and stream enhancement approach for reaches TV1-A and TV5-A (See attached figure). Note this area has been

cleared of and treated for Chinese privet and will be soon be planted with understory trees and shrubs while the mature
trees are being left alone. This approach conforms to the approach stated in the approved mitigation plan. The selected
species were chosen based on wetland -tolerance, shade -tolerance, and native range, and we believe this is an
appropriate and desirable composition for this area. The following table presents the additional species and quantities
that we anticipate planting in the area:
Common Name
Latin Name
Quantity
American hornbeam (Ironwood)
Carpinus caroliniana
150
American Holly
Ilex opaca
150
Swamp Bay
Persea palustris
300
Sweet Bay Magnolia
Magnolia virginiana
250
Sweet Pepperbush
Clethra alnifolia
250
Spice Bush
Lindera benzoin
250
Also, we have attached the original planting table for reference. Note, that the original list is still intended to be planted
throughout the rest of the planting areas of the site.
Please let us know if you approve of this approach and feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns or if you
would like any additional information.
Thank you,
Matt DeAngelo
