Hey Raymond,
I have reviewed the comments from RS in response to my comments from September 4 on the Benton Branch As -Built
Report (see attached). I have also reviewed the revised As -Built Report received on October 2. There are
inconsistencies with the credit assets provided in the report. Therefore, I have attached additional, more detailed
comments along with my notes on each figure/survey (DWR notes -Benton). Prior to a credit release, DWR needs RS to
provide a response to these additional comments. There may be other inconsistencies that I did not catch, so please
make sure all of the figures, tables & survey match prior to submitting a final response. Another copy of the full As -Built
report is not being requested at this time.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Katie

Katie — I just uploaded the revised Benton Branch As -Built to the edocs.deq website. I have attached here (also attached
to the report) RS' response to your comments.
I will print a hard copy and drop it off at your office today.
Thanks,
RH

Subject: Benton Branch AsBuilt Review
Hey Raymond/Worth,
I have finalized my review of the Benton Branch As -Built Report received on June 4, 2018. As a result of my review, I
found that the report lacked in a few details as well as clarity of work actually done on the site. This information will be
necessary for DWR to approve the report. Comments regarding the report are provided below:
1. Section 2.0
a. doesn't provide any status of where the project stands with regards to the USACE. Was it constructed
the way it was approved to be constructed? Any As -built report submitted or approved? Etc. This
information is important to us, because we cannot approve this report without knowing whether the
stream & wetland mitigation was completed and approved by the USACE.
b. Details regarding stream restoration efforts are not provided. Please indicate if all of the stream
restoration or enhancement work (see Figure 6 of BPDP) was done in compliance with permits and
corresponding mitigation plan. If any changes occurred from what was proposed in the BPDP, please
acknowledge those.
c. On the Summary page RS acknowledges that the E&SC plan from Land Quality was approved. However,
no plan is provided in the report and RS doesn't provide information on how they implemented the
approved plan. This is important to us, considering a large portion of this site was created during
construction and earth movement could lead to substantial sediment loss into streams.
2. Section 3.0
Mitigation amounts changed slightly (see Table 1) from what was provided in the BPDP. Please explain
why the mitigation amounts changed. If this change was a result of streams or wetlands not being
constructed as proposed, please provide a figure showing a comparison between the As -Built Figure 5
and the BPDP Figure 6.
b. Please note: the Enhancement and Preservation credits need to be on the same credit ledger (see page
4 bottom of page)
3. Section 4
a. This section states that 20 plots were installed. However, only 11 plots were noted in the BPDP as
proposed to be installed. Please explain the need for more plots and provide a Figure showing which of
the 20 plots are intended to be used for monitoring of buffer & nutrient offset credit areas.
b. 4.4—This paragraph describes what RS intends to do to mark the boundaries. However, since this is an
Asbuit, please indicate what RS actually did to mark the boundaries.
If you have any questions, please let me know. A response to the comments above can be provided via email back to
me.
Thank you,
Katie

Subject: Benton Branch Baseline Monitoring Document and As -Built Report, Response to Comments
and Final Submittal (DWR# 20141149 version 9)
Dear Ms. Merritt,
Responses to comments received on September 4th, 2018 from the review of the Draft Benton Branch
Benton Branch Baseline Monitoring Document and As -Built Report are provided below.
1. Section 2.0
doesn't provide any status of where the project stands with regards to the USACE. Was
it constructed the way it was approved to be constructed? Any As -built report submitted
or approved? Etc. This information is important to us, because we cannot approve this
report without knowing whether the stream & wetland mitigation was completed and
approved by the USACE.
Section 2 was updated and includes the following text,
"Project construction and planting was completed between February 14 and March 14,
2018. The project was constructed in accordance with mitigation plan for the Benton
Branch Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank and the Stream and Wetland Umbrella
Mitigation Banking Instrument, both approved by the Interagency Review Team on July,
6th 2017. In addition, the project was constructed in accordance with the issued Section
404 permit, the Section 401 Water Quality Certification, and the approved Sediment &
Erosion Control Plan (Appendix H). A Baseline Document and As -Built Report, prepared
for the Benton Branch Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank, was submitted to the USACE
on April 2018 and was approved by the USACE on May 2, 2018 (Appendix I - Credit Release
Letter)."
Details regarding stream restoration efforts are not provided. Please indicate if all of the
stream restoration or enhancement work (see Figure 6 of BPDP) was done in compliance
with permits and corresponding mitigation plan. If any changes occurred from what was
proposed in the BPDP, please acknowledge those.
See response to 1a.
On the Summary page RS acknowledges that the E&SC plan from Land Quality was
approved. However, no plan is provided in the report and RS doesn't provide information
on how they implemented the approved plan. This is important to us, considering a large
portion of this site was created during construction and earth movement could lead to
substantial sediment loss into streams.
See response to 1a.

2. Section 3.0
Mitigation amounts changed slightly (see Table 1) from what was provided in the
BPDP. Please explain why the mitigation amounts changed. If this change was a result of
streams or wetlands not being constructed as proposed, please provide a figure showing
a comparison between the As -Built Figure 5 and the BPDP Figure 6.
Riparian buffer and nutrient offset credit amounts changed slightly due to a shift in the
easement and the addition of wetland mitigation within the old pond beds. The easement
shift was a result of the final, post construction surveyed easement and did not result in
any changes to the stream and wetland credits as proposed in the mitigation plan and
constructed. Additionally, there was an oversight in the BPDP where all riparian buffer
restoration and enhancement was given full credit (rather than 50%) for buffer areas 101-
200 ft. During as -built, it was decided to pursue nutrient offset credit in the areas 101-200
ft. where buffer vegetation was restored.
b. Please note: the Enhancement and Preservation credits need to be on the same credit
ledger (see page 4 bottom of page)
"and preservation" was added to the text about credit ledgers below Table 1.
3. Section 4
This section states that 20 plots were installed. However, only 11 plots were noted in the
BPDP as proposed to be installed. Please explain the need for more plots and provide a
Figure showing which of the 20 plots are intended to be used for monitoring of buffer &
nutrient offset credit areas. Twenty-five vegetation plots were installed at the project for
the Stream & Wetland Mitigation Bank. Of the plots installed, 20 of the 25 plots are
located within planted buffer and nutrient offset credit areas (providing —2.0% coverage
of planted and nutrient offset credit areas). The number of vegetation plots estimated in
the BPDP document was only based on the area of buffer restoration and didn't include
the total planted acreage for buffer and nutrient offset.
4.4 — This paragraph describes what RS intends to do to mark the boundaries. However,
since this is an As -Built, please indicate what RS actually did to mark the boundaries.
Section 4.4 was changed as follows "Easement boundaries were identified in the field to
ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and adjacent properties. Boundaries were
identified with fencing and NCWHF signage. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or
destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis."
Sincerely,
Raymond Holz

Benton Branch Revised As -Built Report DWR# 2014-1149 v9
DWR staff (Katie Merritt) Comments:
Comment# 2 provided by RS regarding DWR comment on why mitigation amounts in the AsBuilt
Report are slightly different than as proposed in the BPDP:
DWR response to RS Comment #2 and the corresponding Revised AsBuilt Report dated October
2018 is as follows:
1. Section 3.0, Table 1, Survey, Figures 8A & 8B
a. Table 1, the Survey, and Figures 8A & 8B do not correspond.
b. Nutrient Offsets-
0
ffsets—
■ When looking at the survey, which is not consistent with Figures 8A & 8B,
some areas proposed as nutrient offset credit (dark blue) exceed 200' from
TOB. These areas are not viable to generate nutrient offsets (or buffer) and
need to be removed from the credit totals.
■ Figure 8A shows UT2 and where credits from TOB — 200' are being utilized.
Figure 8A shows an area 101-200' proposed as "Enhancement via cattle
exclusion" (orange), which is in-line with the BPDP proposal. However, the
survey shows this area being utilized for generating Nutrient Offset (dark
blue) and not buffer enhancement credit. Nutrient Offset is not viable in
cattle exclusion areas. Please explain.
■ Figure 8B shows UT1 and where credits from TOB -200' are being utilized.
Figure 8B shows an area 101-200' proposed as "Nutrient Offset credit"
(purple). However, the survey shows this area being utilized for generating
Buffer Restoration (green) and not nutrient offset credit. Neither the
"Construction Legend" on the survey nor Table 1 in the report provides a
measurement for Buffer Restoration credits generated in widths 101-200'.
Please explain.
c. Buffer Credits —
■ When looking at the survey, the "Construction Legend" says the red
represents Enhancement (via cattle exclusion) within widths of 101-200'.
This does not seem to be the case near UT -2B where areas are within TOB -
100. The Legend does not provide TOB -100' as a measurement for this.
Please explain.
■ Restoration credits between TOB -100' are represented as "Green" on the
survey. However, there are some areas in "Green" that are >100' from TOB
and should not be included in the ft2 for buffer restoration credits measured
from TOB -100'.
Page 1 of 2

■ Some restoration credits on the survey are shown where widths are >100'
from TOB. But neither Table 1 in Section 3.0 nor the Construction Legend on
the survey show where this width is accounted for w/ 33% full credit. Please
explain.
■ Some restoration credits (green) are shown on the survey where widths are
>200' from TOB. These areas are not viable to generate buffer or nutrient
offset credits and should be removed from the credit totals. Figure 8A & 8B
do not show credits being generated in these areas.
Comment# 4 provided by RS in response to DWR comment on the placement of 20 vs 25 plots
DWR response to RS Comment #4 and the corresponding Revised As -Built Report dated October
2018 is as follows:
2. DWR is supportive of installing additional plots than may be necessary to account for the
riparian buffer & nutrient offset credit areas. However, based on the AsBuilt Walkthru w/
Worth Creech, DWR only assessed the condition of 11 plots. DWR was under the
assumption that the other plots were installed for purposes of meeting separate
performance standards for the stream mitigation component. No further comment from RS
is required for this item.
Restoration Systems needs to provide a response to each item above and provide DWR with
supporting figures, along with a signed survey, that all support the credit assets being proposed.
Thanks,
Katie
