On behalf of EBX Neuse I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource Environmental Solutions (RES), I am pleased to submit
the NeuCon UMBI Tull Wooten III As -Built Baseline Report. Construction and planting for this project were completed in
March 2021 and invasives treatment was completed in July 2021. The site was built to design and guidelines with only minor
adjustments.
RES set up cross sections, vegetation plots, and stream monitoring devices in March 2021. Monitoring data of the vegetation
indicates that all plots are exceeding the interim success criteria of 320 planted stems per acre. The average stem height in
the plots was 1.5 feet.
Per the approved mitigation plan and as referenced in the as -built report, RES is requesting to perform supplemental
planting and livestaking on TW1 and TW4 to fulfill the adaptive crediting strategy in the upcoming dormant season of winter
2021/spring 2022. The livestaking would include shade tolerant species (buttonbush and silky dogwood) and occur every
four feet along the bottom of both banks on both reaches. The supplemental planting would be performed in areas of low
stem density/heavy invasive treatment and include shade tolerant species such as flowering dogwood, eastern redbud,
persimmon, blackgum, sugarberry, and laurel oak. The additional work would take place during this upcoming dormant
season and would change the credit ratios for TW1 and TW4 from 10:1 to 5:1.
Upon approval of this as -built report and the adaptive crediting strategy, RES is requesting a 15% stream credit release
based on the approved mitigation plan. This is a total as -built release of 531 SMUs. All wetland credits for this bank are
preservation and were released in the initial Task 1 release. Please see the enclosed credit release timeline and updated
credit ledgers.
Thank you for all of your time and consideration and we look forward to continuing to work with you all as this Project
progresses. Please contact me if you have any questions or require any additional information.
Thank you,
Katie Webber, Project Manager
