Please let me know if you have any questions. Best regards, Jordan DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY WILMINGTON DISTRICT, CORPS OF ENGINEERS 69 DARLINGTON AVENUE WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28403-1343 May 19, 2022 Regulatory Division Action ID. SAW-2018-02160 Wildlands Holdings III, LLC c/o: Ms. Angela Allen 312 West Millbrook Road, Suite 225 Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 Dear Ms. Allen: This correspondence is in reference to Wildlands Cape Fear 05 Umbrella Mitigation Bank's Dudley Pond Mitigation Site. The site is located at 3856 Stedman Cedar Creek Road in Cedar Creek Township, Cumberland County, North Carolina. The 47-acre project presents 7,512 linear feet (LF) of stream credits. The Site will provide stream mitigation credits in the Upper Cape Fear River Basin 03030005 (Cape Fear 05), specifically HUCs 0303000501 and 0303000502. Additionally, it will provide stream mitigation credits for HUCs 030300050405 and 030300050303. The purpose of this letter is to confirm the second release of credits (As -Built Implementation) for this mitigation site. Based on the April 28, 2022 site visit and the receipt of the as -built survey, our office has confirmed that all initial physical construction and biological improvements have been completed for Dudley Pond Mitigation Site. As depicted in the corrected credit release table in the As -Built Report (and included below), (Milestones 2- Completion of all initial physical and biological improvements made pursuant to the Mitigation Plan), 15% credits are being released. This release reflects 1107.00 credits. To date, 30%, or 2,233.8 credits have been released. As discussed on -site and noted in the as -built report, there are several sections adjacent to the restored stream reaches where understory and ground cover vegetation are having difficulty establishing, possibly due to pH, soil compaction, and other soil conditions. These areas will continue to be monitored and assessed if action is necessary. -2- If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at telephone (910) 251- 4810 or jordan.e.jessop@usace.army.mil.
