Olivia,
Thank you for the comments. We can certainly perform a bat survey of the culvert prior to any of this work being done.
Tentatively (pending permits) we are looking to do this work in January outside of the "active season" but would check
culvert for bats per your suggestion below. Thanks again for your help and assistance with this project.
Thank you,
(GPIJonathan Hinkle, P.E.

Mr. Hinkle,
The NCWRC has no major concerns for the culvert extension. However, the state endangered and federal proposed
endangered tricolored bat is known to occur in Mecklenburg County. Tricolored bats are known to roost in culverts and
in bridges, including in the winter in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Therefore, the existing culvert should be surveyed
for bats within 15 days of construction. Surveys should be conducted in accordance with the National White -nose
Syndrome Decontamination Protocol and the NCWRC culvert survey protocol. Also, tree clearing activities should occur
outside the "active season" (April 1—December) for the tricolored bat. Conducting tree clearing activities during the
winter avoids impacting bats roosting in trees, particularly during the maternity season (June —July).
Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks,
Olivia Munzer
