Stream Mitigation Units (SMU), after non-standard width buffer adjustments, along Hauser
Creek and two unnamed tributaries in the Upper Yadkin Watershed of the Upper Pee Dee River
Basin (03040101). The purpose of this letter is to confirm the initial release of credits for this
mitigation site.
Pursuant to the Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) entitled, Agreement to Establish
the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank, approved December 4, 2019; and the site -specific
Scout Final Mitigation Plan dated August 2019, fifteen percent (15%) of the mitigation site's
