This letter replaces an earlier one dated September 29, 2006. The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to accept payment for impacts associated with the above referenced
project. Please note that this decision does not assure that the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as
mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the
NCEEP will be approved.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404
Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send
copies of the 404/401/LAMA permits to NC EEP. Once NC EEP receives a copy of the 404 Permit and/or the 401
Certification an invoice will be issued and payment must be made.
Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the
following table.

Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation for the permitted impacts
up to a 2:1 mitigation-to-impact ratio, (buffers, Zone 1 at a 3:1 ratio and Zone 2 at a 1.5:1 ratio). The type and amount of the
compensatory mitigation will be as specitied in the Section 404 Permit and/or 401 Water Quality Certification, and/or
CAMA Permit. The mitigation will be performed in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the N. C.
Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dated November 4, 1998.
