Project: The Park at Wimberly County: Wake
This is a conditional acceptance letter.
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) 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 DMS in-
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS 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 G.S. § 143-214.11.
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 within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant’s responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS 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 by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.
River Basin Impact Location
(8-digit HUC) Impact Type Impact Quantity
Cape Fear 03030002 Non-Riparian Wetland* Up to 0.31

*DMS does not have sufficient non-riparian wetland credit in this service area to meet this need. In
accordance with the directive from the February 8, 2011 IRT meeting, non-riparian wetland impacts
located in the mountains and piedmont areas of North Carolina can be accepted as requested, but
mitigated utilizing riparian wetland mitigation credits. Upon receipt of payment, DMS will take
responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. The mitigation will be performed in accordance with
the In-Lieu Fee Program instrument dated July 28, 2010. Thank you for your interest in the DMS in-lieu fee
mitigation program. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
[e-mail].
Sincerely,

FOR James. B Stanfill
Asset Management Supervisor
