The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NC EEP) is

Wetlands/401 Unit. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to
the NC EEP for impacts associated with this project is appropriate.

404 Permit1401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's
