Dear Mr. Webster:

This correspondence is in reference to expansion of your Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank,
known as the UT2 addendum. The Forrest Creek UT2 addendum site is located adjacent to the
existing Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank, which is approximately seven miles northeast of
Hillsborough and six miles northeast of Durham in northeastern Orange County, North
Carolina. The purpose of this letter is to "catch up" on the release of credits related to previous
activities completed by Environmental Banc & Exchange, because of credit releases that were
passed over due to Corps oversight.
Pursuant to the Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) entitled, "Forrest Creek Mitigation
Bank ", dated February 2007, and the Mitigation Bank Addendum dated September 1, 2011,
fifteen percent (15 %) of the Bank's total enhancement credits from the expansion shall be
available for sale for the Post - Construction Release upon approval of the As -built Report. The
As -built Report was submitted by EcoEngineering on April 29, 2013; therefore, this portion of
credit release corresponds to 139.5 credits from the complete total of 930 Stream Mitigation
Units. In addition, the Monitoring Year 2 Report dated December, 2012, was received on
March 19, 2013, and details a successful second year for this portion of the bank. This
monitoring report triggers an additional ten percent (10 %) release of credit, or 93.0 credits.
Therefore, the total credits released today are 232.5 stream credits.
By this correspondence, we confirm that you have satisfied the above requirements and
232.5 additional credits are now available for sale from the complete total of 930 Stream
Mitigation Units. This will result in a cumulative total of 604.5 credits released from the UT2
portion of Forrest Creek Mitigation Bank.
