Subject: Pepperwood Year 4 Report Review
To whom it may concern:
DWR has reviewed the Year 4 Monitoring Report for the Pepperwood Mitigation Site and have provided notes
and comments below pertaining to the site:

1. All plots exceeded the success criteria.
2. Report indicated encroachment from the removal of a spoil pile and mowing. Mowing occurred within
2'-5' along the easement boundaryjust beyond the horse fencing on Ut-1, UT2 and UT3. The
approximate area affected by all encroachment was noted to be .21 acres. Report did not provide
pictures showing the encroachment. Report noted that replanting with 300, 3 -gallon trees took place
within the encroached areas, flagging was added, a new survey performed and a map showing where
that planting occurred was provided. However, no pictures were provided showing the
replanting/remedial efforts. DWR highly recommends requiring photo documentation showing areas
of encroachment to confirm that the magnitude and description of the encroachment is accurate. Also
recommend photo documentation be provided anytime remedial efforts have been implemented.
Thank you for submitting the Year 4 Monitoring Report.
Katie
