and are as follows:
Riverine Wetland Impacts: 4.05 acres
Non-Riverine Wetland Impacts: 65.17 acres
Stream Impacts: 1,354 feet
This mitigation acceptance letter replaces the mitigation acceptance letter
dated August 3, 2005. The subject project is not listed in Exhibit 2 of the Memorandum
of Agreement among the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and the U. S. Army Corps

provided in accordance with the above referenced agreement. This project was
accelerated and included in the NCDOT's Design Build Program.
EEP will commit to implementing sufficient compensatory riverine and non-

associated with this project by the end of the MOA year in which this project is
