Dear Mr. Parker:
June 29, 2017
Subject: Mitigation Acceptance Letter:
Division 7 Project — TIl' B-5715, Replace Bridge 17 over the Haw River on SR 2351 (Witty Road),
Rockingham County
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDENR Division of Mitigation Services (NCDENR
DMS) will provide the buffer mitigation for the subject project. Based on the information supplied by you on June
22, 2017, the buffer impacts are located in CU 03030002 of the Cape Fear River basin in the Central Piedmont (CP)
Eco-Region, and are as follows:
Buffer I River Basin I CU f Eca-Region
Impacts � Cape Fear � 03030002 (Haw) � CP
Buffer Impacts
Zone 1 Zone 2 � TOTAL
0 410.0 410.0
All buffer mitigation requests and approvals are administrated through the Riparian Restoration Buffer Fund.
The NCDOT will be responsible to ensure that appropriate compensation for the buffer mitigation will be provided in
the agreed upon method of fund transfer. Upon receipt of the NCDWQ's Buffer Authorization Certification,
NCDENR DMS will transfer funds from the NCDOT 2984 Fund into the Riparian Restoration Buffer Fund. Upon
completion of transfer payment, NCDOT will have completed its riparian buffer mitigation responsibility for this
project. Subsequently, DMS will conduct a review of current NCDOT ILF Program mitigation projects in the river
basin to determine if available buffer mitigation credits exist. If there are buffer mitigation credits available, then the
Riparian Restoration Buffer Fund will purchase the appropriate amount of buffer mitigation credits from NCDOT ILF
Program.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Beth Harmon at 919-707-8420.
Sincerely, ���
