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. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not

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 exceed the
impact amounts shown below.

Mr. Harbour,

I have reviewed the above referenced project and need the following questions/comments addressed to ensure
compliance with NWP terms and conditions.

1. Based on the application the project proposes to discharge fill material at Impact Area A. Based on the scale of
the site (232 townhome lots) it is unclear if the project has avoided and minimized to the maximum extent
practicable as required by NWP General Conditions 23(a) and (b). Please provide additional information to assist
the Corps in verifying compliance with GC 23(a) and (b) or redesign to avoid or minimize to the maximum extent
practicable.
2. Based on the application it is unclear which mitigation option is proposed. The options presented on the on the
PCN include: mitigation bank, payment to in-lieu fee program, and permittee responsible mitigation. Please
provide a brief statement indicating which options is proposed and if necessary what ratio is proposed. If a bank
or ILF is proposed please provide a letter from the entity.
Please submit the above information within 30 days of receipt of this Notification or we may consider your application
