As you are aware, we have been in the process of reviewing the modified Draft Mitigation Plan for the site, as well as seeking IRT comment on the modification. The proposed changes to the site that were necessary to address potential flooding of adjacent parcels resulted in a significant reduction of both the conservation easement as well as the amount of wetlands to be restored on the site. This, in conjunction with other serious concerns about the site, has led us to determine that the site no longer meets the standard for projects that can be used to provide compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with permit authorized by the District. As such, we are withdrawing the AFMS from further consideration. Please note that this also leaves the proposed bank in question as there is no longer a specific site to support development of the bank instrument. Please contact us within 30 days if you plan to propose an additional site to support further review of the Neuse 01 Umbrella Bank. Please contact me if you have any information about this decision or the attached correspondence. Thank you, Todd Tugwell Chief, Mitigation Branch Regulatory Division Wilmington District, USACE (919) 210-6265
