Good afternoon,
I have enclosed the credit release letter for Yr. 6 Holly Shelter Tract. All hydrology monitoring was terminated in last

Dear Mr. Miller:
This letter serves to confirm our evaluation of the February 2020 Year 6 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, Pender
County, North Carolina. Also, please reference the Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI)
executed on June 5, 2013 and our June 26, 2019 credit release letter.
In review of the vegetation data, the results show that the success criteria have been
met for the sixth year of monitoring. However, data is absent on the height conditions of
the planted stems. This information must be included in next year's monitoring report in
order to verify that the vegetation success criteria #3, planted stems "must average 10
feet in height in each plot at Year 7", is being met. In addition, and as stated in the June
26th letter, please continue to monitor the off -road vehicle use at Zero Order Valley "A"
(or North Valley) to ensure no degradation is occurring within the restored valley.
It has been determined that Task 8.0 in Table 4A of the MBI has been fulfilled,
resulting in in the mitigation credit release of 10% (or 0.1 credit) of riparian non-riverine
wetland credits. To date, this brings the cumulative total release in Table 4A to 0.9
credits of riparian non-riverine wetlands.
Please be reminded of your obligations pursuant to the June 5, 2013 MBI; and to
continue maintenance inspections of the armored ditch plugs, check dams, and
encroachment in order to evaluate the stability of each structure and overall condition of
the Bank for perpetuity. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
