Dear Mr. Breslow:
This correspondence is in reference to the As -Built Baseline Monitoring Report dated
September 2020, submitted in support of your request for the second credit release for the Scout
Mitigation Site. Also please reference the NC Interagency Review Team (NCIRT) virtual as -
built site review held on October 8, 2020. The Scout Mitigation Site is part of the RES Yadkin
01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank, located approximately eight miles west of Clemmons and five
miles northwest of Bermuda Run, in Davie County, North Carolina. The 13.22-acre project
presents stream restoration and enhancement generating 2,918 warm Stream Mitigation Units
(SMU), after non-standard width buffer adjustments, along Hauser Creek and two unnamed
tributaries in the Upper Yadkin Watershed of the Upper Pee Dee River Basin (03040101). The
purpose of this letter is to confirm the second release of credits for this mitigation site.
Pursuant to the Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) entitled, Agreement to Establish
the RES Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank, approved December 4, 2019; and the site -specific
Scout Final Mitigation Plan dated August 2019, fifteen percent (15%) of the mitigation site's
total restoration and enhancement credits shall be available for sale immediately upon
completion of all initial physical and biological improvements made pursuant to the Mitigation
Plan, dated August 2019 and approved December 4, 2019.
By copy of this correspondence, we confirm that you have satisfied the above
requirements for the second credit release for all parcels within the bank; and 437.7 SMU's
constituting 15% of the mitigation site's total restoration and enhancement credits are now
available for sale. Including this credit release, 875.4 SMU's have now been released for the
Scout Mitigation Site which totals, 30% of the approved credit, as detailed in the approved final
mitigation plan and As -Built Report.
During the NCIRT virtual site meeting of October 8, 2020, several comments were made
by agency representatives regarding concerns noted with the as -built conditions. These

comments were noted in the October 16, 2020 meeting minutes, distributed by RES via email.
These include:
1. In order to address concerns regarding changes made to the planting plan (including
species planted), RES staff will begin removing all black walnut stems throughout the site,
including within vegetation plots.
2. After comments regarding the location of stream gauges being placed mid -way down
Reach CH3, RES will locate future gauges closer to the top of reaches for future projects.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact
Steve Kichefski at [phone] extension 4234.
