REGAN Secretary TIM BAUMGARTNER Director NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality Ms. Heather Montague Division 5 Environmental Specialist North Carolina Department of Transportation 2612 North Duke Street Durham, North Carolina 27704 Dear Ms. Montague: May 20, 2019 Subject: DMS Mitigation Acceptance Letter: Division 5 Project: TIP B-4750, Replace Bridge 340090 over Norris Creek on SR 1719 (Brannon Road), Franklin County The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) will provide the stream, wetland and buffer mitigation for the subject project. Based on the information supplied by you on May 17, 2019, the impacts are located in CU 03020101 of the Tar -Pamlico River basin in the Central Piedmont (CP) Eco-Regions, and are as follows: Stream and River CU Eco- Stream Wetlands Wetlands Basin Location Region Cold Cool Warm Riparian Non- Coastal Riparian Marsh Impacts Pamlico 03020101 CP 0 0 r 42.0 0.17 0 0 *Some of the impacts may be proposed to be mitigated at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. See permit application for details. 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 NCDWR's Buffer Authorization Certification, 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 TIP Number B-4750. Subsequently, DMS will conduct a review of current NCDOT ELF 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.
