if the client intends to digitally "cut-off" irrigation for native seeding after 1 year to establish - while keeping the rest of the irrigation system in tact - is this enough? Initial comments from GBCI reviewer indicates that the temporary system will need to be removed. This seems wasteful and unnecessary - however, I do understand the reluctance to believe that the system will indeed be digitally "cut-off" with a valve. What are your thoughts?

Lisa, when you say "digitally" cut off, are you referring to turning the system off by some programming function, or by turning off an actual valve? I think GBCI would have a valid concern that it can just as easily be turned back on in the future. Some more concrete way of cutting off the system may be warranted, such as removing the sprinkler heads.

Tristan - we agree and have decided to remove the irrigation heads and cap them. Hoping for approval from GBCI. Thanks, Lisa
