Good Afternoon Daniel,
In accordance with the signed mitigation banking instrument and corresponding approved Bank Parcel
Development Plan, EBX submitted an initial As -Built Report on 8/17/2024 to the Division of Water Resources
(DWR) and a revised report on 3/19/2024 for the Dogtown bank parcel (DWR ID#: 20181097v2) for review and
approval. By copy of this correspondence, this As -Built Report has been reviewed and is approved. Once DWR
receives a monitoring bond per the requirements of the mitigation banking instrument, then DWR can proceed
with the issuance of a credit release for Task 3. The performance bond that DWR currently has on file is attached
to this email and is no longer required.
Thankyou,

Good afternoon Blake,
Listed below are comments provided by DWR on March 4, 2024 regarding the Dogtown: As -Built Report and RES'
responses in bold.
1. In a comment response about the pond foot print size being larger in the As Built Report than the approved
BPDP, EBX stated that the footprint was originally calculated based on aerial imagery during the Plan
phase. Delineatingthe different credit generation areas using aerial imagery potentially provides
inaccurate data and movingforward on future projects, DWR highly recommends using GPS points when
gathering this data for accurate as possible crediting information.

RES has recently shifted to GPSing tree lines and other project features but at the inception of this
project aerial imagery was used.
2. DWR would like to know how tree line survey data was gathered for preservation area. Was it aerial or
gathered by GPS/surveyor? Please respond to this email with these details.
Preservation lines were determined using aerial imagery at the time of the BPDP.
3. Point out where the collapsed crossing was in either figure 2A or 2B. You can send me just the PDF of the
figure via email.
Figure 213 is attached depicting the collapsed crossing area and included in the attached report.
4. The survey still does not have a signature on it (seems like technically difficulties on one of our ends). If you
have a signed PDF you can email that to me and we can see if that will work.
The signed survey is attached on email. We apologize for the technical difficulties.
5. According to the survey, there are 519,234 sqft for 0-50ft width but the credit ledger shows 519,224 sqft. In
the credit ledger, add 10 sqft in the "Total Area" column within any one of the 0-50 width features
generating credit so that the totals align with the survey.
The credit table now reflects the accurate numbering. It has been attached separately and replaced
within the report.
6. According to the survey, there are 10,432 sqft for 51-100ft width but the credit ledger shows 10,442 sqft. In
the credit ledger, have the 51-100ft width row show 10,432sgft in the "Total Area" so that it aligns with the
survey. Once the credit ledger corrections are completed, you can email me the PDF and I can replace it in
the report.
The credit table now reflects the accurate numbering. It has been attached separately and replaced
within the report.
Thankyou,

Subject: Dogtown As Built Report 2nd Review
Good Afternoon,
DWR has reviewed the 2"d draft as Built Report submitted by EBX for the Dogtown Mitigation Bank (DWR#2018-
1097v2), which was received on February 13, 2024. Please see comments and revisions below:
1. In a comment response about the pond foot print size being larger in the As Built Report than the approved
BPDP, EBX stated that the footprint was originally calculated based on aerial imagery during the Plan
phase. Delineating the different credit generation areas using aerial imagery potentially provides
inaccurate data and moving forward on future projects, DWR highly recommends using GPS points when
gathering this data for accurate as possible crediting information.

2. DWR would like to know how tree line survey data was gathered for preservation area. Was it aerial or
gathered by GPS/surveyor? Please respond to this email with these details.
3. Point out where the collapsed crossing was in either figure 2A or 213. You can send me just the PDF of the
figure via email.
4. The survey still does not have a signature on it (seems like technically difficulties on one of our ends). If you
have a signed PDF you can email that to me and we can see if that will work.
S. According to the survey, there are 519,234 sqft for 0-50ft width but the credit ledger shows 519,224 sqft. In
the credit ledger, add 10 sqft in the "Total Area" column within anyone of the 0-50 width features
generating credit so that the totals align with the survey.
6. According to the survey, there are 10,432 sqft for 51-100ft width but the credit ledger shows 10,442 sqft. In
the credit ledger, have the 51-100ft width row show 10,432sgft in the "Total Area" so that it aligns with the
survey. Once the credit ledger corrections are completed, you can email me the PDF and I can replace it in
the report.
Once EBX has responded to these comments and provided the necessary documentation we can move forward on
approving the report. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out. There will be no need to re-
submit anythingvia the mitigation submission form, all items in these email can be sent to be in PDF or email
response.
Thankyou,
