The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to accept
payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as indicated in the table
below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -lieu fee mitigation program will be
approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to
contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will be approved. You must also comply with all other
state, federal or local government permits, regulations or authorizations associated with the proposed activity including
G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a
copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It
is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy of the permit(s) an
invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the
authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and
policies listed at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/eep.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts that may require compensatory
mitigation are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation required and assigned to DMS for this impact
is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the impact amounts shown below.
