Documenting Resource Concerns

The TSP needs to examine the proposed area to see what natural resource concern(s) exist and how the filter strip will 'fix' or mitigate the concern(s). Taking out the CPA-52, the TSP looks around the field and the creek to identify resource concerns for Soil, Water, Air, Plants, Animals, Energy and Humans.

Noted on the CPA-52

The TSP can see that the bank of the creek is stable and not being undercut. Between the field and top of the creek bank there are many areas where there is little to no existing vegetative cover. Take a closer look at the bed of the creek. It has a creamy texture and it is apparent that soil deposition is occurring. Walking back up to the field, slight sheet and rill erosion is noted on the agricultural land.

In the CPA-52, the proper notation is made in Section F under Soils and Water as seen below.
