retained protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future buffer impact. These
mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any buffers approved for impact
under this Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate. A sample deed

5. Mitigation: Compensatory Mitigation Using the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP)
Mitigation must be provided for the proposed impacts as specified in the table below. We
understand that you wish to make a payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program
(EEP) to meet this mitigation requirement. This has been determined by the DWQ to be
a suitable method to meet the mitigation requirement. Until the EEP receives and clears
your check (made payable to: DENR -Ecosystem Enhancement Program Office), no
impacts specified in this Authorization Certificate shall occur. The EEP should be
contacted at [phone] if you have any questions concerning payment into a
restoration fund. You have one month from the date of this authorization to make this
payment. For accounting purposes, your previous version of this minor variance
approval, dated January 31, 2006, was for 849 square feet (ftz) of Zone 2 buffer
impacts. However your revised minor variance approval is for only 59 square feet
(ftZ) of Zone 2 buffer impacts. For this Authorization Certificate authorizes
payment into the Buffer Restoration Fund to meet the following compensatory
mitigation requirement:
Compensatory Mitigation Reference

Zone 2 impacts for Plan sheet LI received by
the garage and level 59 (square feet) DWQ on Apri126, 2006

If you have already made payment to the EEP for the January 31, 2006 minor variance buffer
impacts, then mitigation is not necessary for this revised minor variance approval. If you do not accept
any of the conditions of this authorization, you may ask for and adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. This authorization and its conditions are
final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
