Dear Mr. Webster:
This correspondence is in reference to the Alexander Mitigation Bank which is located off of
Lilly Pad Road (NCSR 1419), adjacent to an unnamed tributary to Contentnea Creek,
approximately five miles east of Snow Hill, Greene County, North Carolina. This letter also
confirms our onsite meeting with members of the MBRT on January 27, 2009, to inspect the
bank to determine if restoration success criteria have been met on this site and to confirm the
status of mitigation credits available from this bank.
Inspection of the site by the MBRT revealed that the success criteria have been met and you
are hereby notified that the restoration work you have undertaken on the Alexander site is
considered successful and no additional monitoring will be necessary at this time. Based on the
credit release schedule contained in the mitigation banking instrument (MBI) and the Site
Specific Mitigation Plan the remaining 25% of credits will be released if the bank meets the
overall objectives set forth in the Site Specific Mitigation Plan.
By copy of this correspondence, we confirm that you have satisfied the above requirements
and a total of 18.5 credits of restoration and 0.3 credits of creation constituting 100% of the
Bank's total restoration and creation credits are now available for sale.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. The Wilmington District is committed to providing
the highest level of support to the public. To help us ensure we continue to do so, please
complete the Customer Satisfaction Survey located at our website at
http://regulatory.usacesurvey.com/. If you have any questions, please contact me at the
Washington Regulatory Field Office, telephone [phone], extension 26.
Sincerely,
William J. Biddlecome
