and MOTSU Entrance Road near Boiling Spring Lake and Sneeden Tract, located northeast of
SR 1430 and SR 1431 intersection just north of Navassa The purpose of this letter is to provide
you with a final draft of the mitigation banking instrument (MBI) with appendices and to request
your agency's signature on this document Please note that the financial assurance in Appendix

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

to our office within 30 days of your receipt of this letter Please note that the December 2012
Mitigation Plan (Appendix A- attached CD), along with an e -mail copy of this MBI, has been

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 MBI upon the 30 -day time period.
