and throughout the Plan where relevant.

i won't make any more edits to the Plan to remove "mitigation" from the text. But Wildlands need to check the document and remove this word
where it is used.

this culvert was determined to be clogged at Site Viability assessment and preventing aquatic life passage. Identify this as a site constraint and
explain how it will be addressed in Section 4.0

this section is lacking in details. identify culvert removals, culvert maintenance, ripping of any soils (or explain why you aren't manipulating the
soils)....
Number: 5 Author: kymerritt Subject: Sticky Note Date: 3/11/2024 1:50:04 PM
if seeding is not planned, then tell me what Wildlands observed as "herbaceous". Detail the observations: Annual? Perennial? grasses, sedges,
crops, rye, etc... Not all herbaceous is good, not all herbacous will thrive or last.
Since Wildlands isn't proposing to seed with pollinator species or any seeding at all, and ag fields can be barren with soils unstable at planting
stage, then DWR needs to know what exactly wildlands saw establishing in June. Otherwise, Wildlands needs to include a seeding proposal to take
place prior to year 1. Every provider proposes a seeding plan, with the exception of Wildlands. Therefore wildlands is required to provide
additional details in this section to justify not needing to seed the ag fields. Overland flow on barren soils will continue to add nutrients into
streams and other features even after planting hardwood species...therefore, nutrient loading isn't being reduced as quickly or effectively when
there are bare soils lacking in vegetation.

additional details are needed in this section. Explain the min and max widths that will be restored, identify any areas that are not creditable and
explain why (i.e. areas <50 or >200 )

bank stablization measures were identified as necessary during the site viability (see letter) on UT2, but no measures are being described or
proposed. Add this missing information.

suggest changing this table with the 8 species to be planted to be Table 8a, with an 8b table showing the 3 substitutions.
Number: 4 Author: kymerritt Subject: Sticky Note Date: 3/11/2024 1:55:23 PM
add a column for "Tree/Shrub" and add that information for each species proposed.

this all adds up to 100%, but only 8 of these 11 are suggested as being planted. Address comment above and change the density associated with
planting the 8 species.

including adequately marking the easement boundaries, installing all the plots, plantings completed, culvert maintenance complete, culvert
removals, bank stabilization measures...

clarify that the number of plots is in fact making up 2 percent of the planted area. What is the total planted area in acres?? According to the
project credit table, it's about 42 acres. are these plots Fixed? Random? Rotating? explain...
Number: 2 Author: kymerritt Subject: Sticky Note Date: 3/11/2024 2:16:06 PM
the monitoring protocol for height and vigor is to record height for each stem in each plot in years 1, 3 and 5. Average vigor per plot is to be
recorded in years 1, 3, and 5. adjust language accordingly. Remember that all other monitoring expectations are the same for years 1-5
consecutively.

DWR promptly, take corrective measures, provided written notification to the landowner (or third party) and included all information in the
monitoring report.

what is going on with Ditch F? The site viability letter didn't address F, is F a ditch? a swale? Did DWR miss this during the site viability? should
the ft2 of the feature's footprint (bank to bank) be deducted from riparian restoration? Is it causing non-diffused flow....please explain
Number: 6 Author: kymerritt Subject: Sticky Note Date: 3/11/2024 3:45:47 PM
please add a statement to this section telling DWR how the Total Area you included in the Project Credit Table was measured/quantified. Give us
the technique used to get the ft2. Tell me how your tree lines were measured out (did you use aerial, onsite, etc...

the way you have the maps showing credit assets within 0-100 and 101-200 is fine, as long as you use the new project credit table I gave you for
nutrient offset only projects. Otherwise, you'd have to have a different color representing the Nutrient Offset credits measured off ditches vs
streams and from Subject streams (UT1,UT2) vs non-subject streams (UT3). If this site were being proposed for Buffer, you would have to have
these features represented differently. The nutrient offset project credit table should also help keep the survey for asbuilt alot simpler. Let me
know if you run into any errors.
Number: 2 Author: kymerritt Subject: Sticky Note Date: 3/11/2024 4:09:14 PM
confirm that this ditch is directly connected to Da. I don't remember, and the figure you submitted for the Site Viability doesn't show Da
connected to Ditch B. If it is found to NOT be connected, remove teh credit deduction for non-diffused flow...otherwise, leave it in.
