piedmont areas of North Carolina can be accepted as requested but mitigated for utilizing riparian wetland
mitigation credits in the cataloging unit. NCDEQ-DMS will commit to implement sufficient compensatory 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 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 NCDEQ-DMS.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Beth Harmon at 919-707-8420.
Sincerely,
for James B. Stanfill
