This mitigation acceptance letter replaces the mitigation acceptance letter issued on September 3 and
October 7, 2013 and November 21, 2014. This impact and associated mitigation need were under projected by the
NCDOT in the 2014and 2015 impact data. DMS will commit to implement sufficient 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 In-Lieu Fee Instxument 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 DMS.
