As previously discussed, the Town will need confirmation from NCDEQ that the credits will be considered permanent when applied to our NPDES permit with the appropriate transport factor applied. Our new Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) project has an aggressive schedule due to our existing facility reaching its useful life, and growth pressures, therefore we would like to get this resolved as soon as possible. The Town's financial consultants are prepared to move forward with obtaining financing for the total purchase price as soon as we can get confirmation from the state. If you would like us to attend any meetings to assist in discussions with NCDEQ staff, or others, we will be happy to. We look forward to completing this transaction with you.

Second St., P.O. Box 879 Clayton, NC 27528 Phone:919-553-5002 Fax:919-553-1720 November 7, 2019 This letter serves as a statement of mutual intent of the Town of Clayton (Buyer) and Restoration Systems (Seller) to enter into an agreement for the purchase of nitrogen offset credits. The provisions of this letter do not constitute and will not give rise to any legally binding obligation on the part of the parties to this letter. Absent the execution by the parties of a definitive agreement, the parties shall have no obligations to each other. Seller has identified permanent buffer restoration projects that generate approximately 750,000 lbs. of annual nitrogen offset credits, equivalent to 25,000 lbs per year of permanent offset credit located in the 100% TN delivery zone of the Neuse River Basin as defined in the 1999 Neuse TMDL. Buyer is interested in purchasing these nitrogen offset credits to offset nitrogen loading to the Neuse Estuary as required under their NPDES permit. The credits must be permanent and equate to approximately 50,000 lbs. of offset credit at Clayton's discharge point in the 50% delivery zone as defined by the 1999 Neuse TMDL. The credits and corresponding estuary pounds must be verified with the North Carolina Division of Water Resources by Restoration Systems. Based upon information available at this time, the purchase price for the nitrogen offset credits will btlll�orMper permanent estuary pound of credit, pending approval of North Carolina Division of Water Resources. The parties contemplate a deposit payment will be made at execution of a definitive agreement, which will include all customary terms, and that payment in full will be made no later than February 29, 2020, or when confirmation of permitting is complete. Upon execution of this letter, Seller will work with the North Carolina Division of Water Resources and the Neuse River Compliance Association to permit the transaction and use of the offset credits in the applicable permits prior to completing the transaction.
