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. §

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
