Good morning Paul,

The IRT is okay with Wildlands’ request to change the project’s growing season to March 28-Novemeber 03. Since soil temperature and vegetation indicators were documented for all monitoring
years, we are also okay with the growing season being applied to all previous monitoring years as requested. We appreciate the additional documentation/data provided in the report to
support the request. Please ensure these dates are used for the project moving forward as discussed during the NCDMS Credit Release meeting for consistency.

Thank you,

Casey
