Dear Dr. Thorpe:
Subject: EEP Mitigation Acceptance Letter:
R -2814A / B, US 401 Widening and New Location, Wake and Franklin Counties
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) will
provide a portion of the riparian buffer mitigation for the subject project. Based on the information supplied
by you on May 8, 2012, the buffer impacts are located in CU 03020201 of the Neuse River Basin in the
Central Piedmont (CP) Eco- Region. Some of the riparian buffer mitigation required for this project will be
provided by existing NCDOT mitigation site(s); however, the mitigation site(s) do not have sufficient riparian
buffer mitigation credits to meet all required riparian buffer mitigation for this project and additional riparian
buffer mitigation is needed from EEP. The NCDOT needs 699,686 square feet of riparian buffer mitigation
from EEP in order to fully offset the riparian buffer impacts associated with this project. If the amount of
riparian buffer mitigation required from EEP for this project increases, then this mitigation acceptance letter
will no longer be valid and a new mitigation acceptance letter will be required. All riparian buffer mitigation
requests and approvals are administrated through the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund (Fund 2982).
The NCDOT will be responsible to ensure that the appropriate compensation for the buffer mitigation
will be provided in the agreed upon method of fund transfer. Upon receipt of the NCDWQ's Buffer
Authorization Certification, EEP will transfer funds from Fund 2984 ( NCDOT ILF Account) into Fund 2982
and commit to provide the appropriate buffer mitigation to offset the impacts associated with this project.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Beth Harmon at 919-
715 -1929.
Sincerely,
c6a"-'�L
