All,
I used the wrong release schedule in calculating the credit release, so please replace the
credit release letter from my last email with the current version.

Tim,
Per our conversation on Friday, attached is the credit release for the Sliver Moon site.
Please note that we included the procedures for future releases in the memo we sent with the
most recent closeout letter (also attached). Of course this year, there is only one project,
but now that we have the methodology set up, I anticipate that we will be able to get these
releases out shortly after the annual monitoring report review. The attached letter includes
a release for the project which lists the anticipated future releases. Please let me know if
you have any questions.
Thanks,
Todd Tugwell

Re: NCEEP Mitigation Site Credit Releases for the 2013 Monitoring Year
Mr. Tim Baumgartner
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
1652 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699 -1652
Dear Mr. Baumgartner:
Please reference the meeting of April 9, 2013, attended by representatives from the North
Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program ( NCEEP), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington
District (District), and members of the North Carolina Interagency Review Team ( NCIRT). The
meeting was held to provide the District and NCIRT members with the opportunity to review
monitoring reports from the 2012 monitoring year for all sites that were developed pursuant to the
NCEEP in -lieu fee instrument dated July 28, 2010. The purpose of this letter is to provide USACE
approval of credit release for all the projects referenced herein.
Attached to this letter are credit release schedules for all sites reviewed during this meeting.
These ledgers indentify the credits released with this approval and the schedule for future credit releases.
Please note that this process only applies to sites that were instituted after the date of the approved
NCEEP instrument. Credit release for these projects is provided in accordance with the provisions of
the instrument, the Federal Mitigation Rule (33 CFR Part 332), and the memo entitled NCIRT Monitoring
Report Review, Credit Release and Project Closeout Process for NCEEP Mitigation Projects, which details
the USACE Wilmington District monitoring, closeout and credit release process for NCEEP Mitigation
Projects. For reference, below is a list of all mitigation sites that were reviewed during this year's
annual monitoring report review, along with the associated USACE Action ID and the credit release
action taken for that project (i.e., full credit release with no contingencies, full credit release with
contingencies, partial credit release with contingencies, no credit release with contingencies, etc.).
Please see the attached individual credit release schedules for specific credit release numbers, future
scheduled releases, and any required contingencies.
NCEEP Proiect Credit Releases for the 2012 Monitorine Year
Project Site Name
USAGE Action ID
Credit Release Action Taken
Sliver Moon
SAW - 2012 -00096
Full Credit Release with No Contingencies

Please note that in accordance with Section 332.8(n)(3) of the Mitigation Rule, once credits have
been released for particular sites, those credits must first be used to fulfill any advance credits that have
already been provided within the project service area before any remaining released credits can be sold
or transferred to permittees. Once this is done, those advance credits that are no longer being used to
meet mitigation obligations may be added to the pot of available advance credits within the appropriate
cataloging unit, as specified by the NCEEP instrument. Additionally, as released credits are associated
with a particular USACE or NCDWQ permit action, those credits must remain obligated to that
particular permit action. Any deviation from this requirement must be brought to the immediate
attention of the USACE and NCIRT for approval on a case -by -case basis. All transactions of released
credits should be reported in the ledgers submitted with the NCEEP Annual Report.
Thank you for your continued efforts in improving our procedures. If you have any questions
regarding this letter, or the requirements of the Mitigation Rule, please call me at 919- 846 -2564.
