Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 A-47 Procedures for Determining WLPZ Widths Water Class Class I Class II Class III Class IV Water Class Characteristic s or Key Indicator Beneficial Use 1) Domestic supplies, including springs, on-site and/or within 100 feet downstream of the operations area and/or 2) Fish always or seasonally present on-site, includes habitat to sustain fish migration and spawning. 1) Fish always or seasonally present offsite within 1,000 feet downstream and/or 2) Aquatic habitat for non-fish aquatic species. 3) Excludes Class III waters that are tributary to Class I waters. No aquatic life present, watercourse showing evidence of being capable of sediment transport to Class I and II waters under normal high-water flow conditions after completion of timber operations. Man-made watercourses, usually downstream, established domestic, agricultural, hydroelectric supply or other beneficial use. WLPZ Width (feet) – Distance from top of bank to the edge of WLPZ < 30 % Slope 75 50 Sufficient to prevent the degradation of downstream beneficial uses of water. Determined on a site-specific basis. 30–50 % Slope 100 75 > 50 % Slope 150 100 Source: 14 CCR Section 916.5 [936.5, 956.5] (February 2019 version). The following WLPZ protections would be applied for all treatments: • Treatment activities with WLPZs would retain at least 75 percent surface cover and undisturbed area to act as a filter strip for raindrop energy dissipation and for wildlife habitat o If this percentage is reduced, a qualified RPF would provide the project proponent with a site- and/or treatment activity-
