This letter revises and replaces one issued dated July 19, 2011. The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the
above referenced project as indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the NCEEP
will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact
these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be approved. You must also comply with all other state federal or local
government permits, regulations or authorizations associated with the proposed activity including SL 2009-337: An Act to Promote the
Use of Compensatory Mitigation Banks and an amendments thereto.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of the
issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's
responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based
on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the In
Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed at www.nceep.net.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the NCEEP, the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are
