EXHIBIT A <br />{ <br /> Phase II <br /> Following completion of Phase I, we will implement the payment for wildlife <br /> ecosystem service method in the web-based spatial decision-support tool <br /> developed by UCANR for ALOSC (https://geoportal.ucanr.edu/alosac). We will <br /> connect the method to new and existing spatial datasets used in the web-tool. For <br /> example, using previous UCD work for ALOSC, we will update assumptions <br /> made about actual and potential movement of wildlife through the settlement <br /> area, including across I-580. We will also make connections between this work <br /> and enhancement of wildlife crossing across I-580 through existing and new <br /> crossing structures. We will work with UCANR to develop an add-in to their <br /> web-tool that calculates values and payments for wildlife ecosystem services for <br /> individual parcels. We will vett draft versions of the web-tool with regional <br /> experts, including ALOSC, to make sure it is both understandable and useful to <br /> support financial decisions. Finally, we will develop a suggested workflow for <br /> parcel-specific data collection, appraisal/evaluation, calculated value/payment, <br /> mechanism for payment for wildlife ecosystem services, and mechanism for long <br /> term maintenance and monitoring. <br /> Task 4: Calculation of Parcel Wildlife Ecosystem Services <br /> We will use the method developed in Phase I and the most recent, available <br /> spatial datasets representing wildlife ecosystem services to estimate parcel- <br /> specific values for these services. For example, California Department of Fish <br /> and Wildlife is currently working on a new set of wildlife habitat prediction <br /> models, due to be released sometime in the first half of 2025. These maps, <br /> combined with other wildlife data, can be used to estimate total ecosystem value <br /> per parcel. <br /> Deliverable: Calculation of parcel values using the payment for wildlife <br /> ecosystem services method from Phase I. <br /> Task 5: Draft and Final Deployment within Parcel Prioritization Tool <br /> Using the information from Task 4, we will deploy the parcel-specific services and <br /> equivalent value information in the UCANR parcel prioritization tool. Once <br /> deployed, we will vet the draft tool with ALOSC and landowner-stakeholders to <br /> determine how well this information is received and ways to make it <br /> 5 <br />
