Percent Credit Release
Ms. Merritt,
Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC (RES) is pleased to inform you that mitigation earthwork,
planting, and installation of monitoring devices has been completed at the Meadow Spring
Buffer/Nutrient Offset and Stream/Wetland Mitigation Bank. RES acquired 404 (SAW -2016-
01989), 401 (DWR # 16-0980), and NPDES Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (JC# 18-097-P)
permits prior to construction. Monitoring devices include six vegetation plots in the buffer/nutrient
mitigation areas. Nineteen tree species were recorded, and the plots yielded an average of 1,160
stems per acre. Photos of the vegetation plots are attached as well as a map depicting the locations
of the vegetation plots. Cattle exclusion fencing has also been constructed in pasture areas to
prohibit cattle from entering the easement.
A Baseline Monitoring Report will be submitted following the completion of the As -Built Survey.
The Baseline Monitoring Report will include updated buffer and nutrient crediting areas based on
the surveyed stream and easement. No major modifications were made during stream construction.
Should you require further documentation, please let us know.
Thank you,
Ryan Medric I Ecologist
