This correspondence is in reference to the proposed Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation
Bank that you are developing approximately 11 miles west-southwest of Goldsboro (35.33363N
-78.19267W) on North Carolina State Road 1008 in and adjacent to Kennedy Mill Branch in
Wayne County, North Carolina. This correspondence also confirms my telephone call on
February 11, 2010.
Pursuant to 33 CFR Part 332.8 (d)(5), Initial Evaluation, I have determined that your
proposed mitigation bank has potential for providing appropriate compensatory mitigation for
activities authorized by Department of the Army permits. Accordingly, you may proceed with
preparation of the draft mitigation banking instrument (MBI) as directed by 33 CFR Part 332.8
(d)(6), Draft Instrument. Additional information may be found on the Regulatory Division
website at: http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/WETLANDS/Mitigation/mitbanks.html.
