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 Poplar Creek
Buffer/Nutrient Offset and Stream/Wetland Mitigation Bank. RES acquired 404 (SAW -2016-
01985), 401 (DWR # 16-0979), and NPDES Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (JC# 19-003-P)
permits prior to construction. Monitoring devices include 4 vegetation plots. Sixteen tree species
were planted, and the site yielded an average of 1,083 stems per acre and 26 stems per plot. Photos
of the four fixed vegetation plots are attached as well as a map depicting the locations of the
vegetation plots. All fencing will be installed prior to the site visit scheduled in July 2019.
A Baseline Monitoring Report will be completed 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
