Dear Mr. Miller:
nrr 1 2018
This letter serves to confirm our evaluation of the March 2018 Year 4 monitoring report for the
Northeast Cape Fear Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank) Holly Shelter Tract located northeast of Shaw
Highway and NC Hwy 210 intersection, in the headwaters of an unnamed tributary to the Northeast Cape
Fear River, near Rocky Point, Fender County, North Carolina. Also, please reference the Mitigation
Banking Instrument (MBI) executed on June 5, 2013 and our March 7, 2017 credit release letter.
In review of the vegetation and hydrology data, all results show that the success criteria has been met
for the fourth year of monitoring. However, the hydrology Well #24 continues to be of a concern. This
well is located in close proximity to the intersection of two ditches and it is recommended that you further
assess the plug(s) near this location to ensure the structures are functioning properly. Additionally, it has
been observed that the Zero Order Valley "A" (or North Valley) is experiencing encroachment by off -road
vehicles, resulting in denuded shoulders. Currently, tape is being used to mark off the area in attempt to
keep motorized vehicles from using the area. This measure is not adequate and more permanent
measures must be implemented to prohibit vehicles from crossing this, or any other, zero order valley(s)
and compromising the mitigation site. Please address this and provide our office with a summary of the
measure(s) you are taking.
Our office, in coordination with the Interagency Review Team (IRT), concurs that Task 6.0 in Tables
4A, 4B and 4C of the MBI has been fulfilled. The completion of this task results in the mitigation credit
release of 10% (or 0.1 credit) of riparian non-riverine wetland credits, 10% (or 142 linear feet) of stream
credits, and 10% (or 89.3 credits) of non -riparian wetland credits. To date, this brings the total release to
1.7 credits of riparian non-riverine wetlands, 1871 linear feet of stream credits, and 733.5 credits of non -
riparian wetlands. These totals include all preservation credits shown in Table 4D of the MBI.
Please be reminded of your obligations pursuant to the June 5, 2013 MBI; and to continue
maintenance inspections of the armored ditch plugs and check dams within the Bank in order to evaluate
the condition and stability of each structure in perpetuity. Should you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me at the Wilmington Regulatory Field Office, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
MickeySulgg, Project Manager
Wilmington Regulatory Field Office
