Dear Dr. Thorpe:
Subject: EEP Mitigation Acceptance Letter:

River overflow on NC 11, Bladen County
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) will provide the
compensatory riparian wetland mitigation for the subject project. Based on the information supplied by you on
October 27 and November 4, 2011, the impacts are located in CU 03030005 of the Cape Fear River basin in the
Southern Inner Coastal Plain (SICP) Eco-Region, and are as follows:
Cape Fear Stream Wetlands Buffer (Sq. Ft.)

Mitigation Credits 0 0 0 2.24 0 0 0 0
This mitigation acceptance letter replaces the mitigation acceptance letter issued on October 27 and
November 1, 2011. EEP, through coordination with the NCDOT, intends to utilize the Privateer Farm mitigation
site to offset the wetland impacts associated with this proj ect. Upon receipt of the permit, the debit in the amount
required by the issued permit will be made and locked to the Privateer Farm mitigation site. If the above referenced
impact amounts are revised, then this mitigation acceptance letter will no longer be valid and a new mitigation
acceptance letter will be required from EEP.
