Here are your mitigation options:
(4) OPTIONS FOR MEETING THE MITIGATION REQUIREMENT. The mitigation requirement may
be met through one of the following options:
(a) Payment of a compensatory mitigation fee to the Riparian Buffer Restoration
Fund pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0269 contingent upon acceptance of payments by the NC
Ecosystem Enhancement Program, or to a private mitigation bank that complies with banking
requirements of the US Army Corps of Engineers, currently set out at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/WETLANDS/Mitigation/mitbanks.html or from the US Army Corps of
Engineers, P.O. Box 1890, Wilmington, NC, 28402-1890, and the applicable trading criteria in
15A NCAC 02B .0273;
(b) Donation of real property or of an interest in real property pursuant to Item
(7) of this Rule; or
(c) Restoration or enhancement of a non-forested riparian buffer pursuant to the
requirements of Item (8) of this Rule.
If time is of the essence, I would go with payment to EEP. If not, then I would look for
areas that might meet item C above on school property and come up with a mitigation plan for
the proposed areas.

I believe it is going to be the EEP after I looked at the list available for the Cape Fear
there are no buffer credits for sale privately and I do not see a Jordan heading on the
mitigation banks list in NC. Are there any banks set up at this point that are serving the
Jordan mitigation needs at this point? The school has asked me if they could do some
preservation on lands they own nearby. They own 20 acres, but I'm not really sure what the

streams or wetlands amount to and it would only be preservation. What are your thoughts on
that issue?

Bill,
Yes it is still the same for road impacts, but now you have to purchase Jordan Buffer Credits
and provide the documentation to us about who you are purchasing them from, etc.

Hello
I was just speaking with Jim Thames and he caught a bit of an error on the PCN form and the
project site is in the Cape Fear not the Neuse. So with the Jordan buffer rules is
mitigation still the same? I;m at
(910-690-3825 right now if you could get in touch with me so I can make sure I get this right
very quickly. Thanks Bill...
