Dear Colleague:
Reference is made to the Draft Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI), received on June
19, 2009, and the final mitigation plan and final design sheets received on March 3, 2009, for the
Cripple Creek Mitigation Bank. The MBI indicates that the bank sponsor, Restoration Systems,
LLC, plans to restore 6.9 acres of wetlands and 4,265 linear feet of stream channel and enhance
1.9 acres of wetlands and 633 linear feet of stream channel within the proposed bank boundaries
of 19.6 acres. The proposed mitigation bank is located east of Roney-Lineberry Road, north of
Woodbrooke Drive, south of Deep Creek Church Road and west of North Fonville Road, in
northeast Alamance County, North Carolina, within the Cape Fear River Basin, Hydrologic Unit
Code (HUC) 03030002.
Upon review, we have determined that the draft instrument is complete. Please review
the attached documents and provide any written comments you may have regarding the project
by July 28, 2009. Please be aware that we were notified by Restoration Systems, LLC via
electronic mail dated May 11, 2009, that the property owner no longer intends to construct any
crawfish ponds on the property. If you have any questions, please contact me at my Raleigh
Regulatory Field Office address, or telephone [phone] ext. 26.
