Joey, 

I received and am forwarding the receipt from DMS for in lieu fee purchase of mitigation credits for the Catawba riparian 
buffer impacts at the North Bend PFA site.  I have also attached the initial acceptance letter showing the breakdown of 
the credits by zone. 

We are hoping to begin cutting and removal of select trees that are potential bat roosting and foraging habitat before 
their active season begins.  With this, are we approved to begin felling those trees within the riparian buffer? 

Thanks, 
Jeff
