DANIEL SMITH Director NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality November 23, 2021 DWQ Project #: 2010-00990 Wayne County Restoration Systems, LLC Mr. George Howard (via electronic mail: bienkins&restorationsystems.com ) Re: Neuse Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Umbrella Mitigation Umbrella Banking Instrument (UMBI) Pancho Bank Parcel Closure Dear Mr. Howard: On April 23, 2019, the Division of Water Resources (D)VR) released 100% of the remaining nutrient offset and riparian buffer mitigation credits for the Pancho Mitigation Bank site (Site); thus, releasing Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) from monitoring obligations of the Site associated with nutrient offset and buffer mitigation credits. The conservation easement for this Site was assigned to North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation, Inc (NCWHF) as the Grantee. DAIR staff performed an audit of all nutrient offset and buffer mitigation credit sales associated with this bank Site and concluded that all sales were compliant as documented in correspondence dated November 23, 2021. DWR determines Bank Parcel Closure when all the following have been achieved for the Bank Site: 1. Transfer or assign the conservation easement and all its interests, in perpetuity, to a land trust or stewardship program; 2. All five years of monitoring completed and all monitoring reports submitted and approved by DWR; 3. All credits have been released and debited and updated ledgers showing a zero credit balance have been submitted and approved by DWR. As of the date of this letter, the Site is now closed with no nutrient offset credits or buffer mitigation credits remaining to be released or sold. ��A' North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources 512 North Salisbury Street 11617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 NORTA wmw 919.707.9000 Pancho Bank Parcel Bank Parcel Closure November 23, 2021 Please feel free to call Katie Merritt at (919) 707-3637 if you have any questions regarding this correspondence.
