Dear Mr. Furness:
This correspondence confirms my receipt of your letter with attached documents delivered by
hand in this office on August 28, 2018 concerning the PCS Phosphate's P and U Lands (Phase 1)
wetland restoration site. Your letter requests written approval of the successful completion of the
restoration activity and mitigation credit calculations for the P and U Lands site. The site is
located approximately 4.5 miles south of Aurora, both east and west of SR 1002 (Bay City Road)
in Beaufort County, North Carolina. Work within Department of the Army (DA) jurisdictional
areas associated with this project was previously authorized by Nationwide Permit 27 (ORM ID:
SAW -2008-02889)
The US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) has reviewed your request and the attachments
included therein. The attachments detail the determination of wetland and stream mitigation
credits for the site based on the 5 year monitoring program and mitigation ratios specified in the
Corps 404 permit.
An overall mitigation ledger, dated and submitted December 22, 2017, as required by
Condition N of the Corps 404 mine continuation permit issued to PCS on June 10, 2009 (ORM
ID: SAW -2001-10096), incorporates the P and U Lands (Phase 1) mitigation credits (projected)
as shown in the document referenced above.
The Corps has determined the P and U Lands (Phase 1) mitigation site as successful and no
further monitoring is required. The site has met the terms and conditions of the associated permit
and is officially closed out. The Corps agrees with the calculation of the wetland mitigation
credits (460.14) generated by the P and U Lands (Phase 1) mitigation site. Please submit and
include the P and U (Phase 1) credits (actual) in an updated 2018 mitigation ledger to remain
compliant with Condition N of the 404 permit as of August 28, 2018.

Thank you for your time and attention. If you have any questions, please contact me at the
Washington Regulatory Field Office, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
ned by
