however, it is documented that additional stems were not planted within the

plots 1 and 4 and surrounding areas. As part of RES's active preventative action, in
27606
mid - October 2015 RES planted 3- gallon container trees along the easement edge and
posted additional easement marking signs. Our intentions is that planting larger trees
along the boundary will help to provide a visual boundary between the agriculture
fields and the conservation easement. RES has also discussed with the landowner and
persons responsible for the easement encroachment to assure it doesn't happen again.
Photos of the tree plantings and additional easement signage are provided below.
2. A written course of action for remediating the encroachment problems on the
site with a proposed deadline for completion.
As stated above, RES plans to perform a supplemental planting at the Arrington
Bridge Phase II Site in January 2016. All documentation of the required remediation
work will be provided to DWR following the completion of the work. Additional
easement markers have been posted along the boundary of the easement as well as 3-
gallon container trees planted along the encroachment area borders. It should be noted that RES took

action to perform this work prior to DWR's email requesting remedial work onsite. RES discussed
the easement encroachment problems with the landowner /persons responsible in hopes to prevent
future encroachment occurrences.
Please let me know if you have additional concerns or questions about our remedial action plan.
