NORTH CAROLINA 28403-1343 July 31, 2020 Regulatory Division Action ID No. SAW-2018-02160 Cape Fear 05 UMB Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Re: NCIRT Review and USACE Approval of the Cape Fear 05 Umbrella Mitigation Bank and Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Ms. Angela Allen Wildlands Engineering, Inc. 312 West Millbrook Road, Suite 225 Raleigh, NC 27609 Dear Ms. Allen: This letter is to inform you that the Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers (Corps) has reviewed and approved the Wildlands Cape Fear 05 Umbrella Mitigation Bank and the Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site, dated May 29, 2020. In addition, the Corps has issued a Nationwide Permit 27 (NWP 27) verification letter authorizing work in waters of the United States associated with restoration of aquatic resources on the mitigation bank site. As bank sponsor you are required to comply with the approved Cape Fear 05 UMBI, Final Mitigation Plan — Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site, the terms and conditions of your NWP 27 verification letter, and the Corps' regulations regarding compensatory mitigation (33 CFR 332). The bank sponsor accepts all risk, liability, and responsibility for the success of all mitigation activities associated with the approved mitigation bank site. In accordance with the final mitigation plan, the bank sponsor must prepare and submit annual monitoring reports to document whether the stream (6,624 linear feet) restoration, enhancement, and preservation areas on the project site meet the necessary interim and final performance standards. When credits are debited from the mitigation site, the bank sponsor must provide the Corps with an updated ledger form identifying the purchaser of the credits, the project name, the permit number, and the number and type of credits to be debited. When all stream (7,512 stream mitigation units (SMUs) credits have been consumed, no more credits may be sold from this mitigation site. From the Corps' perspective, the next phase in the establishment of the Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site, includes recording the conservation easement to protect the mitigation site, marking the boundary of the site with permanent signs, and executing the necessary financial assurances. Once the conservation easement has been recorded and we receive the required executed financial assurance documents, the Corps will be in a position to approve an initial credit release for 15% of the total stream and wetland restoration and enhancement mitigation credits, and 100% of the total stream and wetland preservation mitigation credits. We look forward to working with you to ensure Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site complies with the requirements of the approved UMBI and site -specific mitigation plan. In all future correspondence concerning this matter, please refer to our file number, SAW- 2018-02160. If you have any questions regarding this letter, the mitigation plan review process, or the requirements of the Mitigation Rule, please contact Mr. Jordan Jessop by email at Jordan.E.Jessop@usace.army.mil or by phone at (910) 251-4810. All future monitoring reports and credit release correspondence should be addressed to Jordan Jessop in the Wilmington Regulatory office. Sincerely, ' CRUMBLEY.TYLER.A /, � �`�� '� �, ,,,, ��..
