The Parcel shall be planned and designed according to the MBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0240, and the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0295, which became effective on November 1, 2015. The project encompasses land along unnamed tributaries to Mill Creek in Johnston County, NC. One purpose of the Bank is to provide riparian buffer mitigation credits to compensate for unavoidable buffer impacts in the 03020201 Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) of the Neuse River Basin. The second purpose of the Bank is to provide nutrient offset credits for stormwater requirements with new and existing development requiring nutrient offsets within the 03020201 HUC, excluding Falls Lake Watershed. Bank service areas are depicted in Figure 1. 1.0 Project Location and Description 1.1 Introduction The Parcel involves restoring riparian buffers and other riparian areas adjacent to streams and ditches onsite in order to help reduce non -point source contaminant discharges to downstream waters in the Neuse River Basin. Approximately 33.0 acres will be protected with a permanent conservation easement. Out of the 33.0 acres, 14.1 acres will be restored for Neuse riparian buffer credit, 0.3 acres will be preserved for Neuse riparian buffer credit, and 13.0 acres (29,549 lbs.- N) of riparian areas will be restored for nutrient offset credit. No credit will be generated on 5.6 acres (0.1 acre of ditch, 1.5 acres of stream, and 4.0 acres does not qualify for mitigation credit due to distance from project features). In general, riparian buffer restoration area widths on streams will extend out to 100 feet from the top of bank for Neuse buffer credits and out to 200 feet for nutrient offset credits. Nutrient offset credits will also extend from top of bank on ditches out to 200 feet. 1.2 Parcel Location The Parcel is located in central Johnston County, approximately four miles east of the City of Dunn (35.3032000 N, 78.5154000 W). To get to the site traveling east on US Hwy 40 from Raleigh, approximately 4.5 miles past the intersection with US Hwy 95, turn right onto Woods Crossroads Road. Travel an additional 4.5 miles and turn left onto to Hay Barn Road. The site can be accessed by a driveway 0.2 miles down Hay Barn Road on the left (Figure 2). 2.0 Project Area - Existing Conditions 2.1 Parcel Features The Parcel is located in a rural watershed within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201) and within sub - basin 03-04-04. Current land use conditions on and around the project include row crop agriculture and pasture. The project includes restoring riparian areas along four unnamed tributaries (Features A, B, D, and E) and one ditch (Feature C) as shown on Figure 3. Features B, D, and E flow into Feature A which Old Savannah Bank Parcel Page 2 HUC 03020201- BPDP then flows into an unnamed tributary off-site. The system ultimately flows into Mill Creek, which is classified as Nutrient Sensitive Waters by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR). DWR performed a stream determination on the Parcel which is documented in a Stream Determination Letter dated May 6, 2015. Per the letter, Features A, B, D, and E are classified as intermittent streams and are subject to the Neuse buffer rules. Feature C is classified as a ditch (Appendix). DWR visited the Parcel on April 20, 2016 to assess the site's viability for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset. The results are documented in a Site Viability Letter dated June 4, 2015 (Appendix). Per the letter, Features A, B, D and E are viable for riparian restoration and suitable for either buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits. Feature C is viable for nutrient offset credit only. Photos showing site conditions of the Parcel at the time the BPDP was submitted are provided in the Appendix. 2.2 Parcel Soils The soils in the proposed project area are mapped by the 1994 Johnston County Soil Survey. There are three main soil types on the site: Goldsboro sandy loam (GoA), Pantego loam (Pn), and Rains sandy loam (Ra). These soils are described below in Table 1. Figure 4 depicts the soil survey overlain with site streams. Table 1. Project Soil Types and Descriptions - Old Savannah Bank Parcel Soil Name Location Description Goldsboro Located along a large These moderately well drained soils are located in the sandy loam, 0- portion of A and B. It is also uplands. Permeability and available water capacity are 2% slopes (GOA) found along a small section moderate. Surface runoff is slow. of E These are poorly drained soils located on broad terraces. Pantego loam, Located along the northern Permeability of the soils is moderate and available water occasionally section of A and nearly all capacity is moderate or high. Surface runoff is slow. The flooded (Pn) of D and E. soil is occasionally flooded for long or even very long periods of time. Located in the center of These soils are poorly drained. They are found in Rains sandy the project along A, B, and interstream areas, shallow depressions, and in the loam (Ra) headwaters. Permeability in these soils is moderate, as is D the available water capacity. Surface runoff is slow. Source: Johnston County Soil Survey 1994, USDA-NRCS 2.3 Existing Vegetative Communities The Parcel consists primarily of open agricultural fields currently in row crop production. Recent crops include corn, soybean, tobacco, sweet potatoes, and wheat. Streams, ditches, and other stormwater conveyances on the Parcel have little to no existing riparian buffer and most of the riparian areas are mowed annually. Narrow existing buffers, ranging from 20 feet to 30 feet in width are located along the left bank of Feature D and the right bank of Feature E (Areas A and B respectively on Figures 5 and 6). There is also a narrow forest fringe of approximately 5 feet in width on the left bank of Feature A downstream of Feature C (Area C on Figure 5) which will be preserved and excluded from the creditable acreages. The existing buffers and forested areas adjacent to the Parcel consist primarily of water oak (Quercus nigra), Old Savannah Bank Parcel Page 3 HUC 03020201- BPDP willow oak (Quercus phellos), red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), Black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), and persimmon (Diospyros virginica). The forested areas along the boundary of the project were assessed for existing vegetation conditions on July 17, 2015. This forested area is generally characterized as a Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp, according to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) classification system (Schafale, 2012). 2.4 Threatened and Endangered Species The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database was searched for federally listed threatened and endangered plant and animal species for Johnston County, NC. Five federally listed species are currently listed in Johnston County (Table 2). Table 2. Listed Threatened and Endangered Species in Johnston County, NC - Old Savannah Bank Parcel Species Federal Status Habitat Vertebrate Bald eagle BGPA Near large open water bodies: lakes, (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) marshes, seacoasts, and rivers. Red -cockaded woodpecker E Open stands of mature pines. (Picoides borealis) Invertebrate Dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta Creeks and rivers with slow to moderate heterodon) E current and sand, gravel or muddy substrate. Tar River spinymussel Uncompacted gravel and/or coarse sand (Elliptio steinstansana) E in fast flowing, well oxygenated stream reaches. Vascular Plant Michaux's sumac Sandy or rocky open woods. Surviving (Rhus michauxii) E best in areas where disturbance has provided the open area. E = Endangered; BGPA=Bald & Golden Eagle Protection Act A pedestrian survey of the Parcel was performed on April 20, 2015. On-site habitats include agricultural row crop fields and early successional woodlands. Active runoff from adjacent agriculture fields and sedimentation degrades any potential on-site stream habitat for the Tar River spinymussel and the dwarf wedgemussel. The maintained clearings are routinely cut to the herbaceous strata, eliminating potential on-site habitat for Michaux's sumac. The red -cockaded woodpecker requires 60+ year old pine trees, and bald eagles require tall, mature trees for nesting and breeding, neither of which exist on the Parcel. Potential suitable feeding habitat for bald eagles may exist on the Parcel due to the proximity of the Parcel to Mill Creek. The pedestrian survey revealed no individual federally threatened or endangered species. 2.5 Cultural Resources Review and comment from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) with respect to any archeological and architectural resources related to the Parcel was requested on June 5, 2015. SHPO responded on June 30, 2015 and stated they "are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project". All correspondence is included in the Appendix. Old Savannah Bank Parcel Page 4 HUC 03020201- BPDP 2.6 Environmental Issues An Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Parcel through EDR on June 5, 2015. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. There are no known or potential hazardous waste sites identified within one mile of the project area. The executive summary of the EDR report is included in the Appendix. 2.7 FEMA/Floodplain The Parcel is not located within the Federal Emergency Management Associations' (FEMA) designated floodway or approximate 100 -year flood boundary. No floodplain impacts associated with the Parcel are anticipated. 2.8 Site Restraints The Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) has plans to construct a pipeline on property adjacent to the Parcel. At one time ACP had considered an alignment through the Parcel, but the route has been modified so that the Bank Parcel will not be affected by construction of the new pipeline. Documentation from ACP, including an email from the Right of Way representative for the pipeline project and a map showing the previous pipeline route and the new, final route and study area is included in the Appendix. The proposed pipeline is located on the adjacent property to the south of the Parcel. There is a small section of study area for the pipeline on the Bank Parcel, but this study area is outside of the mitigation credit/conservation easement area. 3.0 Proposed Neuse Buffer and Nutrient Offset Restoration Plan Actions required to develop the Parcel for mitigation will require converting current land use practices into a native hardwood forest. The Neuse buffers (Top of Bank - 50') and the nutrient offset riparian restoration areas (51'-200') will involve the planting of at least 4 species of native hardwood tree. Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed during the first year of tree establishment in the restoration areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that could out - compete the planted native species. More detailed descriptions of the proposed restoration activity follow in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. 3.1 Parcel Preparation The majority of the Parcel slated for riparian restoration efforts has been maintained as a cleared agricultural field. Little site preparation other than select herbicide treatments or limited mechanical clearing to remove undesirable underbrush prior to planting will be required. Fencing will be installed in areas where pasture is the current land use, to keep cattle and other livestock out of the streams and riparian restoration areas. There is a pipe in place on Feature B which will be removed during construction of the project, to ensure diffuse flow is maintained. The restoration area will be hand planted using dibble bars or other acceptable forestry practices. Site preparation and planting is planned to begin in January 2017. As part of the parcel preparation, one small in-line agricultural surface water impoundment, located downstream on Feature A, will be removed in order to allow for stable stream channels to be constructed and for that area to qualify for buffer restoration credit. All appropriate permits will be acquired before any earthwork is performed on the pond and stream. Confirmation of permits obtained for this project will be provided in the As -Built Report. Old Savannah Bank Parcel Page 5 HUC 03020201- BPDP 3.2 Planting The revegetation plan for the Parcel includes planting bare root trees and controlling invasive species growth. Bare root trees selected for the Parcel are native, bottomland, hardwood species typical for Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp communities (Table 3). Trees will be planted at a density sufficient to meet the MBI defined five-year success criteria of 260 trees per acre. An appropriate seed mix will also be applied to provide temporary ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events. Planting is scheduled for January 2017. Table 3. Selected Tree Species Appropriate for Buffer Restoration - Old Savannah Bank Parcel R = Bare Root "Character Trees" are defined as planted or volunteer species identified from a survey of local vegetation on less degraded sections of the specified stream and from reference literature that details native species. Table 4 provides a list of Character Tree species other than the species specified for planting. Loblolly pines will not be considered towards success criteria and will be managed accordingly if volunteers become overpopulated in areas and are expected to out -compete hardwoods. Table 4.

The number of monitoring quadrants required was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (CVS) Levels 1 & 2. A total of 23 plots will be established within the credit generation area. The size of individual quadrants will be 100 square meters for woody tree species and shrubs. Vegetation assessments will be conducted following the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner of each plot. Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports. All planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the end of the first growing season, at least five months after planting has been completed. Species composition, density, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot and for the entire site. The Sponsor shall submit to DWR an annual monitoring report, no later than December 31" of each year, for five consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the MBI. Success criteria within the Neuse buffer and nutrient offset restoration areas will be based on the survival of a minimum density of 260 planted stems per acre after five years of monitoring. 4.2 Parcel Maintenance Adaptive measures will be developed or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event that the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in Section 4.1. Site maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have a high likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include, but are not limited to, excess tree mortality caused by fire, flooding, drought, or insects. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. Any parcel maintenance performed will be included in the monitoring report for that year. A rigorous herbicide schedule will need to be implemented over the first year of tree establishment in the restoration areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that may compete with the planted native vegetation. The only herbicides used on the Parcel will be aquatic approved herbicides and will be applied in accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture rules and regulations. The easement boundary will be 1AW Old Savannah Bank Parcel Page 7 HUC 03020201 - BPDP checked annually as part of monitoring activities and the conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to NC DWR. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must receive approval by the DWR prior to any mowing activities within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the Neuse buffers to ensure that no buffer violations have been performed. Failure to receive approval prior to mowing activities within the Neuse buffer as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0233 by the DWR, could result in Neuse buffer violations and violations of the conservation easement. If necessary, the Sponsor will develop a species-specific control plan. 4.3 Easement Boundaries and Fencing Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by cattle fence, marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. 5.0 Financial Assurance Following approval of the Old Savannah Bank Parcel BPDP, the Sponsor shall provide a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best. The Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for project implementation as described in the approved BPDP, but not less than $150,000. In lieu of posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit release. In that case, no performance bond will be necessary. After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan but not less than $100,000. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring period for a term of one year, to be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon DWR approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete Parcel monitoring. Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed to cover the next years monitoring period, with confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each annual monitoring report when applicable. DWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable. 6.0 Mitigation Potential Approximately 33.0 acres of land will be protected with a permanent conservation easement. Out of the 33.0 acres, 14.1 acres will be restored for Neuse riparian buffer credit, 0.3 acres will be preserved for Neuse riparian buffer credit, and 13.0 acres will be restored for nutrient offset credit (Figure 5). No credit will be generated on 5.6 acres (0.1 acre of ditch, 1.5 acres of stream, and 4.0 acres do not qualify for mitigation credit due to distance from project features). The Old Savannah Parcel will generate a total of 29,549.26 lbs. N of nutrient offset credits. Additionally, it will generate 615,284 ft' of Neuse buffer credits. Credit generating mitigation activities per drainage feature are outlined in Table 5. The Sponsor may use the 14.1 acres for either Neuse buffer credits or nutrient offset credits, but not both. The Sponsor must request and receive approval from DWR prior to any credit conversions and transfers to the credit ledgers. With each conversion and transfer request submitted to the DWR, the Sponsor will provide all updated credit ledgers showing all transactions that have occurred up to the date of the request. Buffer preservation credits cannot be converted into Nutrient offset credits. Old Savannah Bank Parcel Page 8 HUC 03020201- BPDP The Sponsor will maintain 3 credit ledgers. One to account for buffer Preservation credits, one to account for buffer Restoration credits, and one to account for Nitrogen nutrient offset credits. Overall credit generation by drainage feature is detailed in Table S. The total credit generation is summarized in Table 6. Table 5.

On April 20, 2015, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site, which is more accurately described in the attached topo map. If approved, mitigating this property could provide riparian buffer credits and/or nutrient offset credits within the Neuse River Basin, 8 -digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201, with the exception of the Falls Lake Watershed. 'Please note, that if WHII chooses to apply 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (Rule .0295) towards its buffer mitigation, WHII will have to submit a Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) specific for this site. The existing Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument is not compatible for use of the temporary Reale .0295 for buffer mitigation. Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the property for buffer and nutrient offset mitigation is shown below: Barefoot Property * Streams onsite are unnamed tributaries that drain offsite into Jumping Run Creek. ■ Features A, B, D, and E, as shown on the attached topo map, were determined by DWR staff from the Raleigh Regional Office to be at least intermittent streams and are all subject to the Neuse buffer reales. These features were determined onsite to be viable for riparian buffer restoration and suitable for Neuse buffer mitigation credit. A stream buffer determination letter was issued for the subject site by the DWR Raleigh Regional Office on May 6, 2015. + Land Uses adjacent to features A, B, D, and E are active row crop or pasture. Riparian restoration along these features is viable for nutrient offset credits. Buffer mitigation and nutrient offset cannot be proposed within the same square feet. * Prior to Feature B being restored, the underground pipe in Zone 1 must be removed as to ensnare diffuse flow is maintained. Feature B ends at the confluence of the drainage feature near the road crossing.

Riparian restoration along Feature C is viable for nutrient offset credit only. * Feature F was determined to be a ditch and is hydrologically connected to a wetland. This feature may be viable for nutrient offset credit only. details, regarding this feature and its viability for nutrient offset credit, is further explained in an email by Ms. Merritt on May 1, 2015. * Feature G was determined to be a perennial stream. This feature was located offsite * Feature H was determined to be a stormwater conveyance, but its viability for nutrient offset credit was not discussed. Additional information must be provided to make that determination. A map showing the project site and the features is provided and signed by Ms. Merritt on June 2, 2015. For any areas depicted as not being viable for nutrient offset credit above, Wl could propose a different measure, along with supporting calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to determine viability for nutrient offset according to 15A NCAC 02B .0240. Alternative buffer mitigation options may be proposed under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (m). Please contact Katie Merritt at (919)-807-6371 if you have any questions regarding this correspondence.

Sullins, Ditector l)rvisirin of Water Qualuy RV. 1 he Dii isjon Of Water Qua Iity's (D WQ`s) stance on whether diffuse now of stormwater through the neo lvv restored buffers on Mitigation sites should be a requirement. Diffuse Ilow is a requirement for buffer restoration or enhancement in the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rule 15A ICAC 02B.0242(9)(d)(iii), the Tar -Pamlico River Basin Buffer Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0260(9)(d)(iii), and the Catawba River Basin Buffer Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0244 (9)(d)(iii). Diffuse now is a requirement for all sites in a buffered basin for buffer mitigation and for for sites providing nutrient offset credit as well, Current Policy! According to the Mitigation rules in the Neuse. Tar -Pamlico and Catawba buffer rules, a grading plan must be provided for butler mitigation sites. In addition, those rules state that "The site shall be graded in a manner to ensure ditTuse flow through the riparian buffer". 1Prnhlenu I he question has been raised as to whether stormwater carried by lateral ditches that enter buffered streams should provide tlltluse Ito%% prior to that storinwater entering the restored hullers. Solution: The Meuse, Tar -Pamlico and Catawba buffer rules with respect to buffer mitigation sites contain a very clear requirement that states that diffuse now bf stormwater must be maintained through the buffer. Unless otherwise approved by DWQ, all buffer mitivation sites must provide ditYuse flow of stormwater font ditches and similar conveyances through the restored butler. Where such diffuse now cannot be attained and where DWQ agrees that such treatment is not possible, deduction of buffer credit will lie calculated as follows: SCENARIO I CRom b 350 S'x 0.

To calculate the area of buffer being "short-circuited" by the ditch, the area of the right triangles shown in the figure above must be determined.. a=50' A=30 B = 60° b=acot A b = 50 (1,732) b = 86,6' (87') The area to be excluded from credit would be the area of the two right triangles: Area = (a x b)12 Area = (50 feet x 87feet)12 Area = 2,175 SF Total deducted area = 2,175 x 2 F 4,350 SF or 0.1 acres. The example shown above assumes a buffer width of 50 feet from the tap of bank (riparian buffer mitigation site). For nutrient offset sites, credit can be generated out to 200 feet from the top of bank. The policy applies to sites with larger buffers as follows: SCENARIO 2 401 Wetlands Certification unit 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-€650 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Phone: 919-733-€7861 FAX 919-733-68931 Internet htto:l t2 enr. tate.nc.usJncwctlands An Equal OpportunitylAffirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycicd/10% Post Consumer Paper None -QrthCaralina ;Vatittally.
