Zach,
Yes, I am attaching the latest DMS acceptance letter in case you need it. DMS can accept the
mitigation required for the impacts listed in this letter- so I think this covers the revised amount of
credit.

Hey Kelly,
I'm so sorry for the confusion on this one. The project is inside the Falls Lake Watershed, and I forgot to add that to my
letters and apparently RS missed it on Debbie's email request.
Per Debbie's email this morning, she would like me to add the 40,184.1 credits from RS to the previous DMS total
(30,651.67 credits) since they do not have any credits in Falls Lake.

This would be a total of 70,835.77 credits from DMS. Can you confirm that DMS is willing to accept this new amount?:

Hi Zach,
There is a little confusion on this project- and it could just be that I am the one confused. Aside from
some of the providers not having the credits needed and Debbie Shirley needing to modify the
mitigation arrangements, there is also some confusion regarding the buffer mitigation required. This
was requested as an impact in the Falls Lake Watershed. DMS accepted it as inside Falls. The
mitigation form doesn't appear to require Falls Lake buffer credits (attached). I also noticed that
Restoration Systems/Davey proposed to use the Weaver Farm bank- since that is not a Falls Lake
bank and their MRT form indicates this is a Neuse 03020201 mitigation requirement, I started to think

that maybe this is not a Falls Lake requirement. Can you please confirm? If it is Falls Lake, can we
update the MRT form so it says Falls? I can do that and simply add Fall Lake Watershed to it but don't
typically change a form without asking.
Thanks,
Kelly

Kelly,
Per our call yesterday, please see the attached ILF request form for the additional buffer mitigation required for this
project. Note as well that I foolishly updated a project form and checked the incorrect box on the first page, but now
that it is signed I cannot correct. We did check with banks and for the additional 96,132 SF needed, we received SOA's
from three of the five. I have attached the emails supporting this information.

Note that the total project needed 130,887 and Wildlands has already invoiced for 34,775 so the SOA attached for
Wildlands includes this amount plus the additional buffer credits that they had.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
