Dear Mr. Wyatt:

Based on the information received from you on November 29, 2021, the impacts are located in CU 03050105 of the
Broad River basin in the Southern Piedmont (SP) Eco-Region, and are as follows:

The impacts and associated mitigation needs were under projected by the NCDOT in the 2021 impact data.

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
