The repair area, I believe, is north of where the driveway impacts are proposed. These UT to aixon sites for R-2248 were an older design with sharp cornered bends that had issues with erosion. Plus from what I understood from Jason Elliot and Byron Moore last June is that these sites were designed and built at the aivision level and then sat there for 4-5 years before Jason and Byron in Raleigh found out about their existence and put them into monitoring for 5 years. Sites 23 and 24 closed in 2014, site 16 closed in 2015 (it is located at the north western side of the green polygon, you can just make out the stream), and site 19 now in it's 7t" year. • . - . •• . - )• •. • - •• • -. � � l • � - ' - -�• -- ^ .- . • - -. � - .• .��-. • • •. • _ -. • • . • • - •. • - . . � • . -- . � - _ •^ •. • - � - . • • .�• • • • •• . . � �� • ;� . ;� ;�� . - • . • -- • •rr• - .� https://connect.ncdot.�ov/resources/Environmental/Pa�es/Permits-and-Miti�ation.aspx ' • . . _� • • - •. • �. .�. - • --• • . . .� . - )• . � . •• • . . • � -�. . � • - -. - • - •-�- .

I don't think the stream crossing area of Site 19 was credit generating, but I would probably want to double check on that at the meeti ng. I don't know if you want to mention to aOT before the Jan 20t" meeting that this information would be helpful to have in order to move things along.

I completely understand the parent thing. My parents, my kids and I are all together in one house—and my father has dementia. Whatever works for you is fine with me. I am not sure that it has been closed and credited. I think there is still monitoring going on—can't swear to it. Just let me know if you figure anything out.

My elderly father is staying with me and has had some medical challenges which is why I am working a home this week My sister and I are trying to get him placed in assisted living, on the 20th he should be staying at my sister's unless some medical challenge comes up. I can't look this project up in the mitigation database since I am home, but will next week with the TIP #. Did you say this project was already closed out and credited? You know after two plus years I am still not clear on DOTs exact organization when it comes to natural resource impacts and mitigation. Some of the mitigation sites start at the division level and move to PDEA (or what ever the central group in Raleigh is), some start here in Raleigh. Jason Elliot and Byron Moore seem to have varying levels of knowledge when I ask them questions about the mitigation sites depending on when their involvement with the site started. Randy Griffin's group seems to be the ones in charge of monitoring. Leilani has been involved with some of the projects, the ones that are more complex (like Bonner Bridge), and is sometimes at the closeout site visits, but usually not. Since this is a more unusual situation I am not surprised she is involved. I will do some more follow up on what we have done in the past for mitigation site impacts. I just asked Eric and he thought it was generally case by case and the ACOE and State had the same requirement. The easement will have to be revised of course.

It is not often an existing mitigation site will be impacted. This came up once before at an IRT meeting, I believe the replacement ratio of a mitigation site is 2x that of a normal wetland or stream resource. Although I am not sure if that was a ACOE requirement or ours. So actually Mac Haupt is the "Mitigation bank and DMS coordinator". Since I am payed on DOT $ I may help with banks and had been doing more of that until Eric Kulz's position was replaced in Oct. I am the DOT mitigation coordinator and also deal with DMS projects since those are funded by DOT. Byron and Leilani know me. A while back DOT had asked for just one project contact for each project so they will not always contact me directly when something mitigation related comes up. I have asked regional staff to always let me know when a meeting will be dealing with mitigation issues. Or if questions or concerns come up about mitigation at a meeting that I may not be at. Please ask me. Not trying to be pushy, but DOT has asked a regional staff to make decisions on requirements for mitigation sites when they should have asked me. My position is 2 years old now, prior to that regional staff did make the decisions. Dave Wanucha, when he was new, was asked if some of the monitoring requirements could be reduced on an on-site mitigation site. Historically there have been a lot of inconsistency between different DOT on-site mitigation site requirements and crediting with each other and especially with bank and DMS sites so I am trying to get things more consistent. The ACOE has also had issues with inconsistency too. I hope you are settling into your new position. I have likely not been in regulation as long as you have so I am still learning the ins outs and all grey areas.
