Dear Mr. Wilson:

This letter confirms the initial Interagency Review Team's (IRT) evaluation, and comments
received during the September 28, 2012 Public Notice, of your prospectus detailing the
establishment of a wetland mitigation bank, known as the Greenview Ranches Umbrella
Mitigation Bank (Bank), within an approximate 102 -acre tract Your property is located in
Greenview Ranches Section VII Subdivision, at the terminus of Murrayville Road (SR 1322),
within the headwaters of Smith Creek, in northern Wilmington, New Hanover County, North
Carolina Also, please reference my October 18, 2012 onsite meeting with your agent Mr Rob
Moul of Land Management Group Inc, and the IRT members, Messrs Jeff Garnett and Tony
Able of US Environmental Protection Agency to visit the property and to discuss the prospectus
Other meeting attendants were Ms Emily Hughes and Mr. Brad Shaver of our office
Pursuant to 33 CFR Part 332 8(d)(5) Compensatory Mitigation For Losses of Aquatic
Resources, our office is providing our initial evaluation as to the potential of your proposed Bank
for providing appropriate compensatory mitigation for activities authorized by Department of the
Army (DA) permits Several comments (copies enclosed) were received during the commenting
period of the Public Notice and forwarded by e -mail to Land Management Group for
consideration Based on our review of the comments, coordination with the IRT, and the onsite
inspection, it is our position that the Bank proposal is appropriate for providing compensatory
mitigation for DA authorizations Consequently, our office confirms proceeding with the
development of a draft mitigation banking instrument (MBI) Please be aware that a mitigation
plan must be approved prior to the release of any credits, and it is recommended that the plan be
submitted prior to the MBI
With respect to the development of the bank and the mitigation plan, several items of the
bank proposal were discussed with LMG during the October 18th onsite meeting and should be
incorporated in the development of the mitigation plan.
