Hi Mr. Peirson,
I've had a chance to review your application for a buffer authorization for an accessory building and just need one more
piece of information to process your application. The 32 square feet of impact requires mitigation at a 1 to 1.5 ratio for
a total of 48 mitigation credits. This requirement is satisfied by purchasing mitigation credits from an approved
mitigation bank in North Carolina.
To get to a list of Approved Mitigation Banks, first google "NC DWR".
Then click on "401 & Buffer Permitting Branch";
Scroll down to Stream and Wetland Mitigation Program, and then you see a link under the first bullet for "approved
mitigation bank".
You'll get what's called a Statement of Availability (SOA) of mitigation credits from the mitigation bank that you can
email to me.
If you have any questions, let me know.
