Dear Mr. Harris:

the impacts are located in CU 03040206 of the Lumber River basin in the Southern Outer Coastal Plain (SOCP)
Eco-Region, and are as follows:

Lumber

*Some of the wetland impacts may be proposed to be mitigated at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. See permit application for
details.

The impacts and associated mitigation needs were under projected by the NCDOT in the 2021 impact data.
DMS will commit to implement sufficient compensatory wetland mitigation credits to offset the impacts associated
with this project as determined by the regulatory agencies using the delivery timeline listed in Section F.3.c.iii of the
In-Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010. 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 DMS.

Sincerely,

James B. Stanfill
