RE: SUBMITAL OF CAPE FEAR 02 UMBRELLA MITIGATION BANK (2014 -SAW -

SITE MITIGATION PLANS
Dear Mr. Bailey:
Restoration Systems (Sponsor) is pleased to submit the accompanying third draft of the Umbrella
Mitigation Banking Instrument (LIMBI) and its associated Phase I Bank Site Mitigation Plans
(Mitigation Plans) for our proposed Cape Fear 02 Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank; 2014 -SAW -
00657). As you will notice, the UMBI and the Mitigation Plans were edited according to IRT
comments generated from the review of the second drafts provided by the Sponsor in October
2016.
Please note that for purposes of review expediency, we have provided electronic redline versions
of the UMBI and Mitigation Plans. Please also note that no appendices or figures are provided
with this submission. We have revised the figures per the most recent IRT comments; however,
as the edits were minor in nature, we have not provided with this submission. Figures and
appendices will be submitted as part of the final draft following receipt of your notification to
proceed with its preparation.
