Thank you for your letter dated November 18, 2008 in which you state that DWQ cannot accept out of
basin mitigation credits for the proposed wetland impacts at the Surf City Commons site. We have recently
discovered that there is a private mitigation bank, Hofmann Forest Mitigation Bank, in Onslow County that
serves this project's specific cataloging unit in the White Oak River Basin (HUC# 03030001). We have
contacted this bank and they have agreed to allow the applicant to buy non-riparian wetland credits from them.
Attached is their acceptance letter.
Please note that the applicant's address has recently changed. Attached is an updated application form
with the new information. Thank you for your assistance with this project.
Sincerely,
Kim Williams
