Re: Thunder Phase B Nutrient Offset Plan Approval
Dear Mr. Dow,
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) received a draft Mitigation Plan (Plan) from the Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS) for the Thunder Phase B site (Site) in 2023. The Plan was submitted to
DWR for review and approval under 15A NCAC 02B .0703 to be used primarily as a nutrient offset
project and also under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 in order to have the flexibility to convert nutrient offset
credits to riparian buffer credits if needed. DWR reviewed the Plan and provided comments and
recommendations. DMS submitted a revised Plan that addressed all comments and recommendations
provided by DWR. The table below summarizes the timeline of the Plan:
