Andriy,
This was my original email to Mr. Snyder 11/18/21 if you weren't aware. His email was listed on the bond inspection
request form.
Thanks,

Mr. Snyder,
I'm the inspector on the mitigation bond. I received this bond request only recently sorry for any delay. The bond
cannot be reduced at this time.
The mitigation area was found to have invasive and other non-native plants and they should be removed. Any dead
or diseased vegetation should also be removed.

S17-601MASTBU
Examples found include:
• 1 tree- callery (Bradford) pear I Pyrus calleryana
• 2 shrubs- multifora rose I Rosa multiflora, and autumn olive JElaeagnus umbellate
• 3 vines- English ivy I Hedera helix, Japanese honeysuckle I Lonicera japonica, and Oriental bittersweet
Celastrus orbiculatus (also listed by VDACS as a Noxious Weed).
The Conservation Area in lieu of Stormwater has a number of down trees. It appears older pine trees are dying off,
this is creating openings in the tree canopy. There do not appear to be oak or hickory in this area, there are mostly
tulip trees, and maples. It would be beneficial if oak whips could be voluntarily installed in this area. There are far
fewer invasive plants in this section of the woods.
The Mitigation plan was a requirement for the disturbance to stream buffer. The plan provides the required
plantings for the area adjacent to stream. If you wish to submit an alternate mitigation plan you may do so. There is
an application & review fee associated with
that https://www.albemarle.org/home/showpublisheddocument/170/637631758586300000
Let me know how I can assist if you need further help.
Thanks,
