Attn: Mr. Josh Pelletier

Washington, NC 27889
Dear Mr. Pelletier,
(Amended December 17, 2014)
This letter is with reference to Corps" Action ID No. SAW 2012-01410 Roughton Commercial Complex
with the intent of aligning the various approvals regarding mitigation. The application for the Department
of Army permit was made in August 2012 and subsequently revised to reflect avoidance, minimization, and
compensatory mitigation in November 2012. A request for information from NCDWQ on January 11, 201113
resulted in the letter from Environmental Professionals, Inc. on February 8, 2013 transmitting the
acceptance letter Ito ni"he Great Dismal Swamp Restoration Batik, LLC for non-riparian wetland credits.
This correspondence was copied to the Corps.
The Department of the Army Pert-nit was issued with Special Conditions. Special Condition (d) requested
compensatory mitigation for 1.33 acres of riparian wetlands in the Pasquotank River Basin (Cataloging
Unit 03020105) from the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Conversation with
my client indicated that he was willing to purchase these credits, and I obtained a commitment letter from
NCEEP.
However, G.S. 14:1- "214.1 1 prohibits the purchase from NCEEP when The Great Dismal Swamp
Restoration Bank, LLC can provide these credits. DWQ has now requested clarification.
Unless the Corps is specifically requesting riparian credits from NCEEIII, the DOA permit should be
modified to allow non-riparian credits from The Great Dismal Swamp Restoration Bank. This, would result
in all ofthe permits to reflect a consistent set of conditions.
I have attached a commitment letter from both NCEEP and The Great Dismal Swarnp Restoration Bank
(Amended) Ri�r your records.
Fhank you for clarifying this matter
Sincerely,
mental. Profession, s, Inc.
Wood, CREPj WS
