Good Morning Chris and Doug,
I have attached the updated SOA for 21,416 sqft of buffer mitigation credits. It is valid for 90 days. In a separate email
Brian indicated he would like an invoice, can you please provide the purchasing entity information and I will get that
done today as well. If I have overlooked that exact information, I apologize.
Thank you,

Hello All,
So below is the corrected table of mitigation that we will require. If it doesn't make sense let me know. Once the
updated mitigation letter is sent, I'll add it to the file but otherwise, I will send the approval up the chain and it
should be signed and go out tomorrow.

Let's give Doug a day or two to get this to you- probably next week if I had to guess.
Thanks for your prompt response.

Chris,
Can you provide an updated letter or permit from regulatory authority stating correct buffer mitigation needed? I can
issue an updated SOA and invoice thereafter.

All,
Based on Chris doing his due diligence (thanks Chris), it does seem like the only areas we would require mitigation
for is the 467 square feet of ADA beach access and the beach. If we can adjust the mitigation letter, I can attach that
to the file and send the approval letter up the chain to be signed.
Thanks everyone,
Doug

Doug -
The SOA covers more mitigation than we need based on my review of the plans this morning.
Please give me a call and we can go over this in more detail with the plans in front of us.
Some of the buffer impacts for walkways do not necessarily require mitigation because they are less than 6 feet wide
in the buffers. I was able to measure the widths on the plans this morning and confirm that impacts at B3, B4, B5, and
B7 are 6 feet wide based on the submitted plans. I double checked the numbers based the plans and found that the
engineer measured the longest length of walkway within the buffer and that is where the impact lengths were derived
from. For example, at impact B3, the total square footage of impact is 250 square feet over 68 linear feet which gives
an average width of buffer impact as 3.676 feet. (250 / 68).
All that being said, I think that the mitigation is limited to the beach and the 467 square feet of beach access walkway
since it does exceed 8 feet in width.
Look forward to talking with you -

Hello All,
Thanks for getting the mitigation letters to us, however I did notice a few mistakes. First, mitigation for zone i
of the Catawba Riparian Buffer is a z:I ratio. Second, mitigation should be for both the beach AND the walkways
5

as they are over 6 feet wide. So, by my calculations and the most recent impact table that was given to me, the
breakdown should be as follows:
Compensatory
Mitigation Required
River and Sub -Basin
Number
Ratio Corrected
Mitigation Required
Zone 1 Buffers
Beach
Pedestrian Trail
11,635 sq. ft
10,241 sq. ft.
1,394 sq. ft.
Catawba 03050101
2:1 ratio
23,270 sq. ft. (total)
20,482 sq. ft.
2,788 sq. ft.
Please send a new, updated letter from whichever bank or banks you will be requesting from. I need to word the
information for the mitigation bank correctly and depending on which bank or banks that is will change the
wording.
Thanks,

Re Project: South Point Access Area
This document confirms that Duke Energy (Applicant) for the South Point Access Area (Project) has
expressed an interest to utilize 21,416 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.
Please contact me at 854-900-3222 or dlachAres.us if you have any questions.
Best,
