purpose of this letter is to confirm the second release of credits (As -Built Implementation) for this
mitigation site.
Pursuant to the Mitigation Banking Instrument (LIMBI) entitled, Neu -Con Umbrella Wetland

site-specific Uzzle Creek Final Mitigation Plan (Plan) dated December 2018 and approved

c. Successful completion of easement fencing suitable for livestock exclusion as outlined

Please note that all conditions of the Plan have been fully met, and the construction and

Uzzle Mitigation Site is hereby released. The monitoring and maintenance bond, letter of credit, or
casualty insurance must be received by April 30, 2020. Failure to comply may lead to a

By copy of this correspondence, we confirm that you have satisfied the above requirements for

and enhancement credits (862.8 SMUs) have been released. Our records indicate that zero SMUs
