*Some of the stream and/or wetland impacts may be proposed to be mitigated at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. See permit application
for details.
The impacts and associated mitigation needs were under projected by the NCDOT in the 2020 impact data. DMS will
commit to implement sufficient compensatory wetland mitigation credits to offset the impacts associated with this project as
determined by the regulatory agencies using the delivery timeline listed in Section F.3.c.iii of the In -Lieu Fee Instrument dated
