Subject: Mitigation Acceptance Letter: Division 3 Project: TIP R-330013, Hampstead Bypass — South of
NC 210 to North of SR 1563, Pender County
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) will provide the
compensatory stream and wetland mitigation for the subject project. Based on the information supplied by you on June 10,
2020, and the USACE on June 16, 2020, the impacts are located in CU 03030007 of the Cape Fear River basin and in CU
03030001 of the White Oak River basin in the Southern Outer Coastal Plain (SOCP) Eco-Region, and are as follows:

*Some of the stream and/or impacts may be proposed to be mitigated at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. See permit application for details.
NCDOT provides DMS with annual stream and wetland impact projections for all anticipated projects in February
of each year and had planned on providing all of the wetland mitigation for this project and requested DMS provide all of
the stream mitigation. Upon review of the NCDOT's available wetland mitigation bank credits, additional wetland credits
were needed from DMS that were not anticipated and have not been included in the DMS annual mitigation needs. DMS
has reviewed the current inventory of wetland mitigation credits in these cataloging units, and based on discussions with
your office, DMS plans to offset all of the wetland impacts associated with this project with available wetland credits from
Cape Fear 03030007.
This mitigation acceptance letter replaces the mitigation acceptance letter issued on April 9 and 29, and
June 11, 2020. If the above impact amounts are revised, then this mitigation acceptance letter will no longer be valid and a
new mitigation acceptance letter will be required from DMS. If you have any questions or need additional information,
please contact Beth Harmon at 919-707-8420.
Sincerely,
