Re Project: Ramsey Creek Park Swim Beach
This document confirms that Mecklenburg County (Applicant) for the Ramsey Creek Park Swim
Beach (Project) has expressed an interest to utilize 10,502.00 Square Feet of Riparian Buffer
Mitigation Credits from the following bank, RES Dogtown Buffer Mitigation Bank. The specific bank
site that may be debited Dogtown, that is located in the Catawba River watershed, specifically HUC
03050101. As the official Bank Sponsor, EBX, attests to the fact that mitigation is available for
reservation at this time.
These mitigation credits are not considered secured, and consequently are eligible to be used for alternate
purposes by the Bank Sponsor, until payment in full is received from the Applicant resulting in the
issuance of a Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate by the bank acknowledging that the Applicant has
fully secured credits from the bank and the Banker has accepted full responsibility for the mitigation
obligation requiring the credits/units.
The Banker will issue the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate within three (3) days of receipt of the
purchase price. Banker shall provide to Applicant a copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate and
a documented copy of the debit of credits from the Bank Official Credit Ledger(s), indicating the permit
number and the resource type secured by the applicant. A copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer
Certificate, with an updated Official Credit Ledger will also be sent to regulatory agencies showing the
proper documentation.
