Dear Colleague,
This correspondence is in reference to Bachelors Delight Stream and Wetland Mitigation
Bank that is being developed by Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Development Company c/o: Mr.
Taylor Downing, in coordination with NCSU Natural Resource Foundation c/o: Mr. David
Ashcraft, located on the east side of Gum Branch Road (SR 1308), within Bachelors Delight
Swamp watershed, north of Jacksonville, Onslow County, North Carolina. The purpose of this
letter is to provide you with a final draft of the mitigation banking instrument (MBI) and to
request your agency's signature on this document. In addition, we have enclosed a CD copy of
the approved October 2010 mitigation plan and survey boundary of the bank property.
Pursuant to 60 FR 228, p.58610, 3. Agency Roles and Coordination, "No agency is
required to sign a banking instrument; however, in signing a banking instrument, an agency
agrees to the terms of that instrument." Please review the attached final version carefully; and if
you are in agreement with the terms of the MBI, please sign your appropriate signature block and
return it to our office within 30 days of your receipt of this letter. Please note that the mitigation
restoration plan, along with an e-mail copy of this MBI, has been provided to the team member
of your agency; and that the Wilmington District Office of Counsel has reviewed the property
disposition and disposal provisions in the MBI and agrees that these provisions provide adequate
preservation assurances for the Bank property.
For your information, our review of the instrument has been completed and the
Wilmington District Engineer is anticipating signing the mitigation banking instrument upon the
30-day time period. Please note that credits will not be released until items in Section VII of the
MBI have been finalized.
r
Thank you again for your time and for your agencies participation in the review of this
bank. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, at the Wilmington
Regulatory Field Office, telephone (910) 251-4811.
Sincerely,
Mickey S gg, Project Manager
Wilmington Regulatory Field Office
