Version 12/12/05

Applicant's Stated Purpose
The bank sponsor proposes to establish and operate a wetland and stream compensatory
mitigation bank to compensate for losses authorized by applicable federal and state
regulatory programs.
Project Description
The sponsor proposes a combination of restoration, enhancement and preservation of
streams and wetlands on the property. Proposed actions include removing livestock from
the stream, stream banks, wetlands and floodplain, eliminating application of fertilizer
and pesticides and establishing a riparian buffer adjacent to streams and wetlands. As
proposed, an estimated 104 acres of stream and riparian forested wetland restoration,
enhancement and preservation may be realized as a result of the project. Upon execution
of the mitigation banking instrument, a conservation easement for the site will be
conveyed to an appropriate public land trust organization.
The proposed Geographic Service Area for this bank includes the 8 -digit hydrologic unit
code (HUC) from the Lower Neuse River, HUC 03020201. The proposed bank may
provide wetland and stream mitigation credits for Section 404 authorized impacts.
Evaluation and Commenting Information
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials, including any consolidate State Viewpoint or written position of
the Governor; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate
the establishment of the Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank. Any comments
received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers in evaluating the approval of this
bank. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered including the
cumulative effects thereof, among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife values, flood
hazards, flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use,
navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation,
water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs,
considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the
people.
The Corps has reviewed the proposal and has examined all information provided by the
sponsors. Preliminary review of this proposal indicates the following: 1. An
environmental impact statement (EIS) will not be required. 2. No listed species of fish,
wildlife, or plant (or their critical habitat) listed as endangered or threatened under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 are expected to be effected by the construction of this
bank; and 3. No cultural or historic resources considered eligible or potentially eligible
for listing on the National Register of Historic Places are located within the proposed
project site. Accordingly, the Corps is making a "no effect" determination for threatened
and endangered species and for cultural and/or historic resources at this time.
Version 12/12/05

Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received
in this office, Attention: Ms. Tracey Wheeler, Washington Regulatory Field Office, Post
Office Box 1000, Washington, North Carolina 27889, until 5:00 p.m., May 5, 2010.
