Good afternoon,
Attached are the response to comments for the WLS Neuse 01 UMBI, Hollowell Mitigation Site Draft Mitigation Plan
(dated April 2019). The sponsor comments, WLS Neuse 01 UMBI, and Hollowell Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan
(dated August 12, 2019) can be found on RIBITS:
https://rib its. usace. a rmy. m i I/ri bits_a pex/f? p=107:278:4268538574530:: N O: R P, 278: P278_BAN K_I D:4532
Please select the dropdown beside Final Mitigation Plan to access the above referenced documents.
We have evaluated the comments generated during the review period for the Draft Mitigation Plan as well as the
attached responses from the bank sponsor, and determined that all issues have been adequately addressed.
Accordingly, it is our intent to approve the WLS Neuse 01 UMBI and Hollowell Mitigation Site unless a member of the
NCIRT initiates the Dispute Resolution Process, as described in the Final Mitigation Rule (33 CFR Section 332.8(e)).
Please note that initiation of this process requires that a senior official of the agency objecting to the approval of the
mitigation plan (instrument modification) notify the District Engineer by letter within 15 days of this email (by COB on
October 1, 2019). Please notify me if you intend to initiate the Dispute Resolution Process. ** Please reference my note
below.
Provided that we do not receive any objections, we will provide an approval letter to Water & Land Solutions, LLC (WLS)
at the conclusion of the 15 -day Dispute Resolution window. This approval will also transmit comments generated during
the review process to WLS, and indicate that the approved responses must be included in the Final Mitigation Plan. All
NCIRT members will receive a copy of this letter and Final Mitigation Plan for your records.
Thank you for your participation.
