*Some of the stream and wetland impacts may be proposed to be mitigated at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. See permit application for
details.
This mitigation acceptance letter replaces the mitigation acceptance letter issued on September 3 and
October 7, 2013. This impact and associated mitigation need were under projected by the NCDOT in the 2014 impact
data. EEP will commit to implement suificient compensatory stream and riparian wetland mitigation credits to offset
the impacts associated with this project as determined by the regulatory agencies using the delivery timeline listed in
Section F.3.c.iii of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Ecosystem Enhancement Program In-
Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010. If the above referenced impact amounts are revised, then this mitigation
acceptance letter will no longer be valid and a new mitigation acceptance letter will be required from EEP.

Sincerely,
