Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the NCEEP will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.

You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or authorizations associated with the proposed activity includina SL 2009- 337: An Act to Promote the Use of Compensatory Mitigation Banks as amended by S.L. 2011-343.

Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the NCEEP, the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the following table.
