Dear Mr. Wilkerson:

This letter is to inform you that the Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers (Corps)
has reviewed and approved the Wildlands Cape Fear 06 – East Mingo Creek Site Final
Mitigation Plan, Action ID SAW-2020-02093, dated June 12, 2023. The Corps is
currently processing a Nationwide Permit 27 (NWP 27) verification letter authorizing
work in waters of the United States associated with the restoration and enhancement of
aquatic resources for the mitigation bank site. As bank sponsor, you are required to
comply with the approved Wildlands Cape Fear 06 UMB Instrument and East Mingo
Creek Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan, the terms and conditions of your NWP 27
verification, and the Corps’ regulations regarding compensatory mitigation (33 CFR
332).

The bank sponsor accepts all risk, liability, and responsibility for the success of all
mitigation activities associated with the approved mitigation bank site. In accordance
with the approved Final Mitigation Plan, the bank sponsor must prepare and submit
annual monitoring reports to document whether the stream and wetland restoration and
enhancement areas for the project site meet the necessary interim and final
performance standards. When credits are debited from the mitigation site, the bank
sponsor must provide the Corps with an updated ledger form identifying the purchaser
of the credits, the project name, the permit number, and the number and type of credits
to be debited. When all stream credits have been consumed, no more credits may be
sold from this mitigation site.
