RE: [External] RE: Downing Creek Sanitary Sewer Lift Station
Hi Anna,
We'll need some sort of plan for the extent of the planting and the species. Here's some guidance:
This plan must be developed to ensure that a minimum of four native hardwood tree species and native shrub species,
where no species is greater than 50 percent of stems. This vegetation plan must ensure a standard of 260 trees per acre at
maturity in Zone 1. This plan must include the types of native woody vegetation selected, methodology of planting, and a
site map indicating the location of the replanting efforts. Zone 2 must remain vegetated at all times; however, vegetation
can consist of shrubs, grass and trees.

So, no. I wasn't sure what to include. I just noted that " native grass species will be replanted and buffers outside of the
permanent maintenance easement will be reestablished". Please let me know if I need to prepare anything more
specific.

Anna,
Thank you so much for your quick response. I may have missed it somewhere in the application, but do you have any
sort of mitigation plan showing the area that will be planted with native species, those species proposed, planting
density, and timeframe for planting? Let me know and thank you.

Hi Cherri,
Yes, we checked with the private banks and DIMS. No buffer credits are available in the Jordan. I reached out to the City
and they suggested proposing on -site mitigation for this one.
Thank you,

Hi Anna,
I was just reviewing your application for the buffer impacts for the Downing Creek Sanitary Sewer Lift Station and had a
question. Is on -site buffer mitigation being proposed because there aren't any buffer mitigation credits available in this
part of the Cape Fear River Basin? Just let me know when you get a chance and thank you.
