Conditions for Transfer of Compensatory Mitigation Credit:
• Once this document has been signed by the Mitigation Sponsor and the District is in receipt of the signed form, the
Permittee is no longer responsible for providing the mitigation identified in this form, though the Permittee remains
responsible for any other mitigation requirements stated in the permit conditions.
• Construction within jurisdictional areas authorized by the permit identified on page one of this form can begin only after
the District is in receipt of a copy of this document signed by the Sponsor, confirming that the Sponsor has accepted
responsibility for providing the mitigation requirements listed herein. When NCDMS provides mitigation for authorized
impacts conducted by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), construction within jurisdictional areas
may proceed upon permit issuance; however, a copy of this form signed by NCDMS must be provided to the District
within 30 days of permit issuance. NCDOT remains fully responsible for the mitigation until the District has received this
form, confirming that the Sponsor has accepted responsibility for providing the mitigation requirements listed herein.
• Signed copies of this document must be retained by the Permittee, Mitigation Sponsor, and in the USACE administrative
records for both the permit and the Bank/ILF Instrument. It is the Permittee's responsibility to ensure that the District
Project Manager (address below) is provided with a signed copy of this form.
• If changes are proposed to the type, amount, or location of mitigation after this form has been signed and returned to
the District, the Sponsor must obtain case -by -case approval from the District Project Manager and/or North Carolina
Interagency Review Team (NCIRT). If approved, higher mitigation ratios may be applied, as per current District guidance
and a new version of this form must be completed and included in the District administrative records for both the permit
and the Bank/ILF Instrument.
Comments/Additional Conditions: A letter from NCDMS, confirming they are willing and able to accept the applicant's
compensatory mitigation responsibility, dated 7/11/2022 was included with the preconstruction notification.
