Re: Cape Fear Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Mitigation Umbrella Banking Instrument (UBI)
Ivey Ferguson Bank Parcel AMENDED Credit Release
Dear Mr. Rinker:
On October 1, 2010, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received a Bank Parcel Development
Package (BPDP) for the Ivey Ferguson Bank Parcel in Orange County, North Carolina. On April 5,
2012, at the request of Katie Merritt with DWQ, EBX -EM, LLC submitted a revised BPDP depicting a
name change to the bank sponsor from Mid - Atlantic Mitigation to EBX -EM, LLC. On September 6,
2012, DWQ received documentation showing that the site work had been completed and monitoring
plots had been established on the subject site. As allowed in the UBI, EBX -EM, LLC elected to
construct the project without obtaining a Performance Bond. On January 18, 2013, DWQ received a
conservation easement. On January 24, 2013, DWQ submitted a credit release letter releasing 40% of
the site's available "generated" nitrogen and phosphorous offset credits. This credit release letter has
been amended to also show the amount of "delivered" nitrogen and phosphorous offset credits that are
available now for sale. Please replace the letter dated January 24, 2013 with this one, and update your
credit balances accordingly to show both generated and delivered nutrient offset credits.
According to the UBI, the following Project Milestones have been met, and the corresponding generated
and delivered credits shall be released:
Milestones Credit
Task 1) BPDP Approved by DWQ, Conservation Easement recorded & 20%
Construction Completed as delivered in Task 2
Task 2) Mitigation Site Earthwork, Planting and Installation of 20%
Monitoring Devices Completed
By copy of this correspondence, DWQ confirms that you have satisfied the above requirements for the
above - referenced tract. Therefore, 40% of your generated nitrogen offset credits (0.4 z 23,129.23 =

released. Generated credits are credits that have not been applied to the appropriate delivery factor.
The delivery factors applied to this bank due to its location in the 14 -digit HUC 03030002060070 are
40% for nitrogen and 19% for phosphorous. Therefore, the total amounts of delivered nutrient offset
credits for this 10.18 acre site are 9,251.69 lb -N and 283.04 lb -P. By copy of this correspondence, 40%
of your delivered nitrogen offset credits (0.4 x 9,251.69 = 3,700.68 lb -N) and 40% of your delivered
phosphorus credits (0.4 x 283.04 = 113.221b -P) are now available for sale.
A total of 40% of the generated nitrogen credits (9,251.69 lb -N) and 40% of the generated phosphorous
credits (595.88 lb -P) have been released for this site. A total of 40% of the delivered nitrogen credits
(3,533.28 lb -N) and 40% of the delivered phosphorous credits (11.25 lb-P) have been released for this
site. Only the delivered nutrient offset credits can be sold from this bank.
Please note that nutrient offset credits delivered at this site must be used for impacts in the Upper
New Hope Arm of Jordan Lake within the Cape Fear River Basin. As a tool, DWQ has created a
document to assist the general public with locating delivery factors by 14 -digit Hydrologic Unit
Code (HUC). This document is attached to this letter and is referenced as "Attachment B" in
future correspondences.
As always, please copy DWQ on all correspondence related to credit sales.
