06010108 Non- Coastal

Impacts (feet/acres) 0 112.0 0 0 0 0 0 0
'`Some of the stream and/or wetland impacts may be proposed to be mitigated at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. See permit

The impacts and associated mitigation needs were under projected by the NCDOT in the 2017 impact data. DMS
will commit to implement sufficient compensatory stream mitigation credits to offset the impacts associated with this
project as determined by the regulatory agencies using the delivery timeline listed in Section F.3.c.iii of the In-Lieu Fee
Instrument dated July 28, 2010. If the above referenced impact amounts are revised, then this mitigation acceptance letter
will no longer be valid and a new mitigation acceptance letter will be required from DMS.
