Dear Mr. Parker:

Subject: DMS Mitigation Acceptance Letter:

Division 7 Project – Replace Bridge 52 over UT to Deep River on SR 1332
(Scientific Street), Guilford County, WBS Number 17BP.7.R.114

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services
(NCDEQ DMS) will provide the stream and buffer mitigation for the subject project. Based on the
information supplied by you on April 22, 2021, the impacts are located in CU 03030003 of the Cape Fear
River basin (Randleman) in the Central Piedmont (CP) Eco-Region, and are as follows:

Cape Fear
03030003
Randleman
Stream Wetlands Buffer (Sq. Ft.)
Cold Cool Warm Riparian Non-
Riparian
Coastal
Marsh Zone 1 Zone 2
Impacts
(feet/acres) 0 0 205.0 0 0 0 10,350.0 6,148.0

All buffer mitigation requests and approvals are administrated through the Riparian
Restoration Buffer Fund. The NCDOT will be responsible to ensure that appropriate compensation
for the buffer mitigation will be provided in the agreed upon method of fund transfer. Upon receipt
of the NCDWR’s Buffer Authorization Certification, DMS will transfer funds from the NCDOT 2984
Fund into the Riparian Restoration Buffer Fund. Upon completion of transfer payment, NCDOT will
have completed its riparian buffer mitigation responsibility for this project.

This mitigation acceptance letter replaces the mitigation acceptance letter issued on
April 21, 2021. The impacts and associated mitigation needs were not projected by the NCDOT in
the 2021 impact projection data. DMS commits to implementing sufficient stream mitigation
credits to offset the impacts associated with this project as determined by the regulatory agencies
in accordance with the In-Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010. If the above referenced impact
amounts are revised, then this mitigation acceptance letter will no longer be valid and a new
mitigation acceptance letter will be required from DMS.
