1.0 Introduction
Restoration Systems (Sponsor) is pleased to provide this Bank Parcel Development Plan for the Half -Mile
Branch Bank Parcel (Parcel), proposed as part of the Restoration Systems' Neuse River Basin Riparian
Buffer & Nutrient Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (Banking Instrument), signed March 17,
2008 between Restoration Systems and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR). This
Parcel is designed to provide mitigation credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the
Neuse River Basin. Neuse River riparian buffer mitigation credits provided by this Parcel are available in
the Neuse River Basin, according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (Compensatory Buffer Mitigation Rule).
Mitigation credits for Nutrient Offset are made available within the Neuse River Basin USGS 8 -digit
HUC 03020201 excluding the Falls Lake Drainage Basin according to 15A NCAC 02B .0240. Supporting
figures are located in Appendix A.
An onsite determination for applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233) as well as a site suitability assessment for mitigation was conducted on February 9, 2015
(Appendix B) by DWR staff.
A Conservation Easement was placed over the Parcel on May 1st, 2015 and recorded at the Wayne
County Register of Deeds in Goldsboro, NC. Book No. 3153, Page No. 191 and attached as Appendix C.
1.1 Parcel Location
The Half -Mile Branch Bank Parcel is located approximately 7 miles west of Goldsboro in western Wayne
County; west of U.S. Highway 117 near the intersection of Old Smithfield Road and Ferry Bridge Road
(Figure 1, Appendix A). The Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin in the 14 -digit United States
Geological Survey (USGS) Cataloging Unit 03020201200030 of the South Atlantic /Gulf Region (North
Carolina Division of Water Quality [NCDWQ] Subbasin Number 03- 04 -12) (Figure 3, Appendix A)
Directions to Parcel:
• From the City of Raleigh, travel east on U.S. Highway 70
• Travel approximately 23 miles on U.S. Highway 70 and turn right onto Creechs Mill Rd
• Turn right at Martin Livestock Road (3.2 miles)
• Turn left onto Brogden Road (4 miles)
• Continue from Brogden Road onto Old Smithfield Road (7.7 mile)
• Continue on Old Smithfield Road and the Parcel is located on the left at the intersection
of Old Smithfield Road and Ferry Bridge Road (3.0 miles)
- Latitude: 35.38554° , Longitude: - 78.1072°
1.2 Parcel Overview
The Parcel encompasses 30.46 acres of land located along Half -Mile Branch and its Unnamed Tributary.
According to the Final Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (NCDWQ 2009), the lack of buffer
and heavy agricultural practices along Half -Mile Branch make the watershed an ideal target for land
acquisition to protect the nutrient sensitive Neuse River watershed. The restored riparian area will result
in improved water quality within the Parcel and downstream of the Half -Mile Branch watershed. The
Parcel is located in a region of the state dominated by agriculture and livestock; therefore, restoration of
the riparian area is expected to result in immediate water quality benefits in the vicinity of the Parcel.
Of the 30.46 acre Parcel, it is anticipated 25.02 acres of riparian area will be restored and 2.9 acres will be
preserved (existing hardwood forest) through the establishment and permanent protection of native
hardwood vegetation.
Half -Mile Branch Bank Parcel Development Plan pg. 1

The Parcel encompasses agricultural land utilized for row crop production and forest. Agricultural areas
were routinely harvested for soybean and winter wheat, resulting in local disturbances to stream banks
and wetland soil surfaces. Additional land use practices included the maintenance and removal of riparian
vegetation and ditching through buffers and fields to reduce wet areas for crop production. Figure 4 in
Appendix A graphically displays pre - construction conditions. Staff from the Division of Water Resources
(DWR) visited the Site on February 9, 2015 and determined the Site to be viable for Neuse River riparian
buffer and nutrient offset mitigation (Appendix B). Adjacent land use is currently characterized by row
crop production and single family dwelling units.
2.0 Project Area — Existing Conditions
2.1 Physiography
The Parcel is located in the Southeastern Floodplains and Low Terraces ecoregion on the border of the
Rolling Coastal Plain ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains of North Carolina; USGS HUC 03020201
(NCDWQ Subbasin Number 03- 04 -12) of the Neuse River Basin. Regional physiography is
characterized by broad interstream divides with gentle to steep side slopes dissected by numerous small,
low to moderate gradient sandy bottomed streams and major river floodplains, associated terraces, and
low gradient streams with sandy and silty substrates (Griffith et al. 2002a). Onsite elevations range from
a high of 82 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) on slopes to a low of approximately 73 feet
NGVD at the lowest point of the Parcel.
The Parcel provides water quality functions to a nearly 2.44- square mile watershed at the outfall of Half -
Mile Branch. The watershed is dominated by agricultural land, forest, and wetlands. Impervious surfaces
account for less than 0.5 percent of the upstream watershed land surface. Surrounding area land use is
primarily agricultural, with some low- density residential housing. Onsite land use is characterized by
hardwood forest and agricultural land (row crop production).
2.2 Soils
Based on Wayne County soil survey mapping (USDA 1974), the Parcel contains seven soil series: Bibb
sandy loam (Typic Fluvaquent), Norfolk loamy sand (Typic Kandiudults), Lumbee sandy loam (Typic
Endoaquults), Lynchburg sandy loam (Aerie Paleaquults), and Wickham loamy sand (Typic Hapludults).
Parcel soils are described in Table 1 below.

2.3 Ve etg ation
The Parcel is characterized primarily by agricultural land with disturbed, mature hardwood forests.
Agricultural land was dispersed throughout the Parcel except for the existing buffers that are currently
ranging up to 100' from the top of banks of Half -Mile Branch and its unnamed tributary. Agricultural
land dominated the majority of the Parcel. Disturbed hardwood forest are characterized by coastal plain
bottomland hardwood and floodplain species adjacent to stream channels, such as river birch (Betula
nigra), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), willow oak (Quercus phellos), red maple (Acer rubrum),
sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), black willow (Salix nigra), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), and
American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) (Table 2).

2.4 Threatened and Endangered pecies
Species with the classification of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), or officially Proposed (P) for such
listing are protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended (16 U.S.0 1531 et
seq.). One species is federally listed for Wayne County by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) (USFWS 2008): red- cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis). Additionally, the bald eagle
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Habitats for red -
cockaded woodpecker and bald eagle are not present within the Parcel.
In addition to the bald eagle and E, T, and P species, the USFWS list includes a category of species
designated as "Federal Species of Concern" (FSC). A species with this designation is one that may or
may not be listed in the future (formerly C2 candidate species or species under consideration for listing
for which there is insufficient information to support listing). The FSC designation provides no federal
protection under the ESA for the species listed. The nine FSC species listed on the current USFWS list
are presented in Table 3 below.

Proposed mitigation activities will result in positive benefits for these species through improved habitat
and water quality.
2.5 Environmental & Cultural Constraints
Conditions and characteristics that had the potential to hinder restoration activities on the Parcel were
evaluated by RS personnel. The evaluation focused primarily on the presence of hazardous materials,
utilities and restrictive easements, rare /threatened/endangered species or critical habitats, cultural
resources, and the potential for hydrologic trespass.
In a letter with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) RS concluded there were no dwellings that
fell under the `National Register of Historic Place,' nor were there any documented archaeological sites
found within the Parcel. Correspondence between RS to the SHPO requesting concurrence is provided in
Appendix E.
Environmental Data Resources Inc. preformed an Environmental Records Report which located no
evidence of environmental risk was associated with the Parcel (Appendix F).
Existing information regarding constraints was acquired and reviewed. Any parcel conditions that had the
potential to restrict design and implementation were documented during the field investigation. Existing
conditions of concern were and discussed with DWR and outlined in a DWR Site Viability letter dated
February 25th, 2015 (Appendix B) and are incorporated into the Restoration Plan. Specifically, a
Half -Mile Branch Bank Parcel Development Plan pg. 4

centerline profile survey was conducted over the entire length Surface Conveyance B to insure the surface
water runoff was conveyed through the ditch to Half -Mile Branch (Appendix D).
3.0 Restoration Plan
The primary goals associated with the restoration of riparian areas focus on improving water quality,
enhancing flood attenuation, and restoring wildlife habitat through the creation of a forested riparian
buffer adjacent to stream channels and a forested riparian area along agricultural ditches, and will be
accomplished by the following;
1. Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural production, including a)
ceasing the broadcast application of fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural materials into and
adjacent to Site surface water conveyances, and b) providing a restored buffer to filter runoff
from adjacent lands.
2. Reducing sedimentation within onsite and downstream receiving waters by reducing bank
erosion, vegetation maintenance, and agricultural land disturbances.
3. Promoting floodwater attenuation by increasing frictional resistance of floodwaters crossing Site
floodplains.
4. Improving aquatic habitat by enhancing stream bed shading and natural detritus input.
5. Providing a terrestrial wildlife corridor and refuge in an area extensively developed for
agricultural production.
6. Restoring and re- establishing natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional
continuity.
7. Protecting the Site's riparian buffer functions and values in perpetuity.
Primary components of the restoration plan include: 1) Minor construction activities to insure successful
restoration 2) Riparian area restoration or Preservation from 0 -200 feet back from surface waters and
ditches and 3) Parcel protection.
3.1 Construction activities (Figure 5)
A total of four culverts will be removal to insure flow of Half -Mile Branch and Site conveyances is not
obstructed; preventing the chance of hydrologic trespass of adjacent properties. One culvert will be
removed along Half -Mile Branch (Site Photo 4) and the other three along surface conveyance A (2
culverts, Site Photo 8) & E (1 culvert). Once removed, disturbed areas will be stabilized with native seed
mix.
Multiple manmade conveyances /furrows were previously dug through the Neuse Riparian Buffer
perpendicular to the stream channels (Site Photo 5 and 6). These conveyances /furrows will be filled to
historic elevations and stabilized with a native seed mix so diffused flow is restored and maintained
through the riparian buffer.
Impacts to Waters of US and existing Neuse River Riparian Buffer as a result of construction activities
are summarized in Table 4 below.

*Disturbed acreage will not be included in the buffer credit determinations.
Crop land areas will be ripped and scarified prior to vegetation planting activities. In greater detail, 25
acres will be ripped with linear bands perpendicular to the direction of surface water flows. The
established microtopography on leveled surfaces will promote diffuse flow and surface water storage
throughout the floodplain. In addition, subsurface hardpans will be eliminated to promote vegetation
growth/survival and to increase groundwater recharge rates.
No other evidence of natural and/or man -made conditions were identified which had the potential to
impede proposed restoration activities.
3.1.1 Permitting
Activities outlined above in Table 4 will not require a permit or written notification to any regulatory
agencies, i.e. US Army Corps of Engineers, Wayne County FEMA, & NC DWR. Reasoning for each is
summarized below:
USACE —
Under no applicable USACE Permit do the construction activities summarized in Table 4 warrant a
USACE permit or consultation. Construction activities to Waters of the US will be far less than thresholds
which require consultation, 300 1. ft. to stream beds and 500 1. ft. to stream banks. Attached in Appendix
G for reference are USACE Nationwide Permits 13, Bank Stabilization, and 40, Agricultural Activities.
NC DWR —
In written communication with Anthony Scarborough, Appendix G, all activities summarized in Table 4
are deemed acceptable without further consultation.
FF.1V1A —
The Parcel is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as a result of its proximity to the Neuse
River, Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) of NC, Panel 2568 J (Appendix H). A SFHA is defined as any
area with a 1% annual chance of flooding (100 -year flood), all mapped areas are broken down into
individual zones. The Parcel is completely located within Zone AE, where baseline flood elevations have
been determined. It is most important to note, the Parcel is located completely outside of the Floodway
Area.
FEMA coordination /review is conducted at the county level. Regulated activities within mapped FEMA
areas are discussed under Wayne County Ordinance Chapter 38 — Flood Prevention
(https: / /www.municode.com /library /nc /wayne_county /codes /code_of ordinances ?nodeld= COOR_CH38
FLPR). Specifically Section 38 -62, which discusses provisions required within a SFHA where base flood
elevations data has been provided. Under this section, there is no restriction of fill material in Zone AE if
baseline flood elevations have been determined.
Half -Mile Branch Bank Parcel Development Plan pg. 6

In summary, the Parcel is located in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area Zone AE and baseline flood
elevations have been made available. Wayne County, NC does not prohibit fill material to be placed in
such an area and therefor, FEMA coordination is not needed.
3.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Restoration of the riparian area will allow for recolonization and expansion of characteristic species
across the landscape. Vegetative species composition will mimic reference forest data, onsite
observations, and community descriptions from Classification of the Natural Communities of North
Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990) Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood (NCWAM Bottomland
Hardwood Forest and Headwater Forest). Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods include species with high
value for sediment stabilization, rapid growth rate, the ability to withstand hydraulic forces associated
with flood events, and are well suited for wetland soil types.
Deep- rooted, riparian vegetation will be restored over 25.02 acres of the Parcel. Bare -root seedlings of
tree species within the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods will be planted at a density of approximately
500 stems per acre on 10 -foot centers. Table 5 summarizes the proposed planting plan.

3.3 Riparian Buffer Preservation Activities
Riparian buffer preservation will take place within approximately 2.89 acres on the site. It will include
permanently protecting existing riparian buffer from cutting, clearing, filling, grading and any similar
activities that would affect the functionality of the riparian buffer. Areas specified for Preservation, as
defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295, are show in Figure 5 and will only generate buffer mitigation. These
areas are primarily described as disturbed mixed hardwoods, with the number of high value species above
200 per acre. Buffer credits sought in the preservation area will only be allowed to use toward buffer
mitigation and cannot be transferred into nutrient offset credits. The Preservation area is not anticipated
to be beyond 100 feet.
3.4 Parcel Protection
A Conservation Easement was placed over the Parcel on May 1st, 2015 and recorded at the Wayne
County Register of Deeds in Goldsboro, NC. Book No. 3153, Page No. 191 and attached as Appendix C.
Parcel boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and adjacent
Half -Mile Branch Bank Parcel Development Plan pg. 7

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. The easement boundary
will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities and reported to NC DWR.
4.0 Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
4.1 Monitoring Protocol
Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation will monitor plant survival and species diversity.
Quantitative sampling of vegetation will be performed through twenty five (25) 10 x 10 meter plots as
outlined in the CVS Level 1 -2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.0 (Lee et al. 2006) and will
occur in October of each year, with the Is' monitoring data to be collected in the fall of 2015 and not
within five months from the original planting date. Monitoring of the restoration efforts will be performed
for five years or until success criteria are fulfilled. Restoration Systems shall submit to NCDWR an
annual monitoring report, no later than December 31st of each year. Detailed qualitative and quantitative
monitoring is proposed for vegetated riparian areas, which will also include photographic record of the
Parcels assets. Success criteria within the buffer and nutrient offset restoration areas will be based on the
survival of planted species at a density of 320 stems per acre after five years of monitoring.
4.2 Parcel Maintenance
A remedial action plan will be developed and implemented with the approval of NCDWR in the event
that the Site or a specific component of the Site fails to achieve success criteria as outlined above. Other
vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. In the event
that exotic invasive plant species require treatment, such species will be controlled by mechanical
(physical removal with the use of a chainsaw) and /or chemical methods (aquatic approved herbicide) in
accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.
4.3 Long Term Management Plan
The Sponsor will obtain a Conservation Easement in perpetuity over the Parcel upon DWR approval of
the BPDP. The Conservation Easement will preserve all areas, and prohibit all use of the property
inconsistent with its use as mitigation property, including any activity that would materially alter the
biological integrity. The North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation is expected to be the long -term
holder of the Conservation Easement and will be responsible for long -term stewardship of the Parcel site.
The Sponsor will provide a financial sum appropriate for the long -term holder of the Conservation
Easement to carry out its responsibilities.
5.0 Financial Assurance
As stated in the Restoration Systems Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Mitigation
Umbrella Banking Instrument, dated March 17th 2008: "Following approval of the BPDP, Restoration
Systems, LLC shall provide a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an `A' as rated by
A.M. Best Company. The Performance Bond amount shall be two times the estimated cost for
implementation for the restoration plan included in the BPDP, but no less than $150,000.00 in amount.
After completion of construction, a Monitoring Bond will be substituted for the Performance Bond. The
Penal Sum of said Monitoring Bond shall be for two times the estimated cost to implement the monitoring
and maintenance plan, but no less than $150,000.00 in amount. The Monitoring Bond shall be in effect
for a period of five years."
Half -Mile Branch Bank Parcel Development Plan pg. 8

6.0 Mitigation Potential
The DWR has determined the nitrogen nutrient abatement of restored riparian area to be 2,273.02 lbs. per
acre. Riparian buffer credits will be measured by the hundredth of an acre and converted into square feet.
It is anticipated, the Parcel will restore 25.02 acres of riparian area and preserve 2.89 acres. 17.56 acres
will be used specifically for nutrient offset credit, generating 39,914.22 lbs. of nitrogen offset credit.
10.35 acres will generate 337,546.4 sq. ft. of Neuse River riparian buffer credits. Riparian buffer credits
derived from preservation cannot generate nutrient offset mitigation. Though, riparian buffer mitigation
generated by restoring riparian areas can be used for either Neuse River riparian buffer credits or nutrient
offset credits, but not both. RS must request and receive approval from DWR to transfer any mitigation
credits between riparian buffer and nutrient offset. All mitigation credit assets shall be shown on the
credit ledgers. RS will provide a separate credit ledger for the Buffer Preservation credits. Table 6
summarizes the Parcel's components and mitigation credit potential.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset -- Half Mile Branch
2175 Old Smithfield Rd, Goldsboro, NC
Wayne County
Dear Raymond,
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
On January 8, 2015, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request from
Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) for a site visit to the above - referenced site to detennine the site's potential
for nutrient offset and Neuse riparian buffer mitigation. On February 9, 2015, Ms. Merritt, along with
Anthony Scarbraugh of DWR, performed a site assessment of the subject site. Existing conditions onsite
were determined to be active row crop agriculture. Ms. Merritt assessed each feature, as proposed on the
attached map by RS, to determine its ability to deliver nutrients to downstream waters. If approved,
mitigating this site could provide both riparian buffer credits and nutrient offset credits within the 8 -digit
Hydrologic Unit Code (HUQ 03020201 of the Neuse Diver Basin, excluding the Falls Watershed for
nutrient offset.
Overall, the site appeared to be a good candidate for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset. Details of the site
assessment for determining its viability for mitigation are provided below:
• Both streams onsite were determined to be at least intermittent and are suitable for riparian buffer
restoration outside of the forest fringes. A supporting stream determination letter is required.
• Multiple perpendicular conveyances had been recently dug by the landowner through the buffers,
thus creating an outlet to the streams for drainage. These conveyances must be filled and stabilized
to allow diffuse flow of stormwater through the buffer.
• Ditches A, C and D are suitable for riparian restoration to generate nutrient offsets. Existing trees
and fringes must be calculated out of the total proposed mitigation area.
• Ditch. D was not determined to be suitable for riparian restoration onsite due to the inability of staff
to observe the direction of flow of stormwater within the ditch. The layout of the land, along with a
lidar map provided by Mr. Scarbraugh, indicated that stormwater draining to this ditch may not be
conveyed to the stream downstream of the ditch. However, if RS wants to propose Ditch D in the
mitigation plan, RS must provide documentation that the ditch conveys stormwater runoff to the
stream onsite.

• The presence of a culvert along the northern part of Ditch A needs to be cleaned out or removed in
order to not impede flow and affect the connectivity of this section to the rest of the system.
• Plants chosen for this site need to be well adapted to wet, poorly drained soils.
A map showing the project site and the different features is provided and signed by Ms. Merritt on February
23, 2015. Please contact Katie Merritt at (419) -807 -5371 if you have any questions regarding this

the project. Therefore, we have no comment on the project as proposed.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill- Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919- 807 -6579 or
environmental.reviewnncdcr.gov. In all future communication concerning this project, please cite the above
referenced tracking number.
Sincerely,

Subject: Request for Letter of Concurrence on Half -mile Branch Bank Parcel in Wayne County, NC
Dear Ms. Gledhill - Earley:
Restoration Systems (RS) is in the process of permitting a riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation
bank parcel through the Division of Water Resources. As part of this process we must contact the State
Historic Preservation Office with a description of the Parcel, the proposed restoration activities and detail
if any National Register of Historic Places or buildings older than 50 years will be affected. Please find a
detailed description of the property, restoration activities and our conclusion below.
The proposed Parcel is 30 acres in size and located approximately 6.5 miles west of Goldsboro, NC in
Wayne County near the intersection of Old Smithfield (SR 1007) and Ferry Bridge Rd. The physical
address is 2175 Old Smithfield Rd. Goldsboro, NC 27530. A project area map and USGS topographic
map of the project area are attached.
The proposed Parcel encompasses agricultural land utilized for row crop production with marginal
forested areas located in isolated pockets and along stream corridors. Ditches and streams are routinely
cleared and mowed, resulting in local disturbances to stream banks and minimal diffused flow of storm
water runoff. Goals of this mitigation project focus on improving water quality, enhancing storm water
attenuation, and restoring riparian habitat within the Half -mile Branch watershed. The restoration plan
includes restoration, enhancement, and preservation of riparian forests through the reestablishment of
native hardwood vegetation throughout the conservation easement. The removal of one culvert crossing
and installation of a new culvert crossing are the only scheduled ground - disturbing activities and will not
equal more than 0.25 acres.
There are no structures on or adjacent to the Parcel. RS staff examined the HPOWEB Map Service
records on February 10, 2015 and determined that there are no listed historic properties on or within 1.0
mile of the Parcel. It is our conclusion that the restoration activities associated with the proposed Parcel
will not affect any listed or potential National Register of Historic Places. I would appreciate a letter of
concurrence for this project at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Raymond Holz

CERCLIS- NFRAP: CERCLIS No Further Remedial Action Planned
Archived sites are sites that have been removed and archived from the inventory of CERCLIS sites. Archived status
indicates that, to the best of EPA's knowledge, assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined
no further steps will be taken to list this site on the National Priorities List (NPL), unless information indicates
this decision was not appropriate or other considerations require a recommendation for listing at a later time.
This decision does not necessarily mean that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that,
based upon available information, the location is not judged to be a potential NPL site.

Brownfields are real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence
or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these
properties takes development pressures off of undeveloped, open land, and both improves and protects the environment.
Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) stores information reported by EPA Brownfields
grant recipients on brownfields properties assessed or cleaned up with grant funding as well as information on
Targeted Brownfields Assessments performed by EPA Regions. A listing of ACRES Brownfield sites is obtained from

industry codes and standards, requires companies of all sizes that use certain flammable and toxic substances
to develop a Risk Management Program, which includes a(n): Hazard assessment that details the potential effects
of an accidental release, an accident history of the last five years, and an evaluation of worst -case and alternative
accidental releases; Prevention program that includes safety precautions and maintenance, monitoring, and employee
training measures; and Emergency response program that spells out emergency health care, employee training measures
and procedures for informing the public and response agencies (e.g the fire department) should an accident occur.

EPA maintains a "Watch List' to facilitate dialogue between EPA, state and local environmental agencies on enforcement
matters relating to facilities with alleged violations identified as either significant or high priority. Being
on the Watch List does not mean that the facility has actually violated the law only that an investigation by
EPA or a state or local environmental agency has led those organizations to allege that an unproven violation
has in fact occurred. Being on the Watch List does not represent a higher level of concern regarding the alleged
violations that were detected, but instead indicates cases requiring additional dialogue between EPA, state and
local agencies - primarily because of the length of time the alleged violation has gone unaddressed or unresolved.

EDR MGP: EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plants
The EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plant Database includes records of coal gas plants (manufactured gas plants)
compiled by EDR's researchers. Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800's to 1950's
to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture
of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production,
such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non - volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds
are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently
disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil
and groundwater contamination.

EDR's GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum is provided to assist the environmental professional in
forming an opinion about the impact of potential contaminant migration.
Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principal investigative components:
1. Groundwater flow direction, and
2. Groundwater flow velocity.
Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics
of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the
geologic strata.
TC4204251.2s Page A -1

GEOCHECe - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY
GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION
Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site - specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other
sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data
collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers).
TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to
assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or,
should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

GROUNDWATER FLOW VELOCITY INFORMATION
Groundwater flow velocity information for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site specific geologic and soil strata data. If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary
to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil
characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general, contaminant plumes
move more quickly through sandy - gravelly types of soils than silty - clayey types of soils.
GEOLOGIC INFORMATION IN GENERAL AREA OF TARGET PROPERTY
Geologic information can be used by the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the relative speed
at which contaminant migration may be occurring.

Bank Stabilization. Bank stabilization activities necessary for erosion prevention,
provided the activity meets all of the following criteria:
(a) No material is placed in excess of the minimum needed for erosion protection;
(b) The activity is no more than 500 feet in length along the bank, unless the district
engineer waives this criterion by making a written determination concluding that the discharge
will result in minimal adverse effects;
(c) The activity will not exceed an average of one cubic yard per running foot placed
along the bank below the plane of the ordinary high water mark or the high tide line, unless the
district engineer waives this criterion by making a written determination concluding that the
discharge will result in minimal adverse effects;
(d) The activity does not involve discharges of dredged or fill material into special
aquatic sites, unless the district engineer waives this criterion by making a written determination
concluding that the discharge will result in minimal adverse effects;
(e) No material is of a type, or is placed in any location, or in any manner, that will impair
surface water flow into or out of any waters of the United States;
(f) No material is placed in a manner that will be eroded by normal or expected high
flows (properly anchored trees and treetops may be used in low energy areas); and,
(g) The activity is not a stream channelization activity.
This NWP also authorizes temporary structures, fills, and work necessary to construct the
bank stabilization activity. Appropriate measures must be taken to maintain normal downstream
flows and minimize flooding to the maximum extent practicable, when temporary structures,
work, and discharges, including cofferdams, are necessary for construction activities, access fills,
or dewatering of construction sites. Temporary fills must consist of materials, and be placed in a
manner, that will not be eroded by expected high flows. Temporary fills must be removed in
their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre - construction elevations. The areas affected by
temporary fills must be revegetated, as appropriate.
Invasive plant species shall not be used for bioengineering or vegetative bank
stabilization.
Notification: The permittee must submit a pre - construction notification to the district
engineer prior to commencing the activity if the bank stabilization activity: (1) involves
discharges into special aquatic sites; or (2) is in excess of 500 feet in length; or (3) will involve
the discharge of greater than an average of one cubic yard per running foot along the bank below
the plane of the ordinary high water mark or the high tide line. (See general condition 31.)

Subject: Riparian Buffer & Nutrient Offset Mitigation Bank in Wayne County
Anthony —
As you are aware, Restoration Systems is currently in the process of permitting a riparian buffer and nutrient offset
mitigation bank parcel in Wayne County, NC. This is the same parcel you and Katie Merritt visited February 9t", 2015 for
a buffer and nutrient mitigation applicability request (both the RS request and DWR response letters are attached).
As part of our bank approval process, we must provide written correspondence and concurrence between RS and the NC
DWR that a permit is not necessary for impacts to parcel streams and existing riparian buffers as a result of our
restoration activities. I have provided a Site overview figure for your reference detailing location of impacts which are
detailed below. There will be NO impacts to wetlands.
Impacts described in our restoration plan;
StrPamc
1. Removing a dilapidated crossing (see attached photo) and,
2. Constructing a new crossing for the landowner using 2 x 25' long 36" wide HDPE pipes.
There will be to be no more than 50 I. ft. of impacts below the high water line to Waters of the US; 25' would be
temporary, removal of the old culvert, and 25' permanent, installation of the new crossing.

Existing Riparian Buffer
1. Establishment of a 30' farm path coming to and from the new culvert crossing
- Existing buffers have been marginalized by current land use practices (row crop production). We identified a
location within the buffer where the embellishment of a farm path would have the least amount of
impact. Impacts will only occur in Zone 1, and will total no more than 350 sq. ft.
2. Filling of multiple manmade conveyances /furrows dug through the buffer perpendicular to the stream
channels. These conveyances /furrows in the existing buffer will be graded, filled and stabilized with a native
seed mix, so that diffuse flows are dispersed through the restored buffer.
- This will be done using a mini excavator and using spoil from when the furrows were original dug. Credit will
not be generated in these areas. An in the field estimate totaled the area of these impacts and their
restoration will total 1,000 sq. ft.
Our understanding is that project impacts to streams are allowable without the need of a permit as the total I. footage is
below the threshold requiring mitigation (150 I. ft.). Furthermore, impacts to the existing riparian buffer are referenced
as 'allowable' under the Table of Uses in State Statute 15A NCAC 02B .0233 (Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Water
Management Strategy: Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Buffers).
If you agree with our findings, please provide written concurrence. If you have any further questions about the project
please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 919.604.9314.
Thank you for your time,
Raymond Holz
Project Manager

DATUM INFORMATION
The projection used in the preparation of this map was the North Carolina
State Plane (FIPSZONE 3200). The horizontal datum was the North American
Datum of 1983, GRS80 ellipsoid. Differences in datum, ellipsoid, projection, or
Universal Transverse Mercator zones used In the production of FIRMS for adjacent
jurisdictions may result in slight positional differences in map features across
jurisdictional boundaries. These differences do not affect the accuracy of this
FIRM. All coordinates on this map are in U.S. Survey Feet, where
1 U.S. Survey Foot = 1200/3937 Meters.
Flood elevations on this map are referenced to the North American Vertical
Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). These flood elevations must be compared to structure
and ground elevations referenced to the same vertical datum. An average
offset between NAVD 88 and the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929
(NGVD 29) has been computed for each North Carolina county. This offset was
then applied to the NGVD 29 flood elevations that were not revised during the
creation of this statewide format FIRM. The offsets for each county shown on
this FIRM panel are shown in the vertical datum offset table below. Where a
county boundary and a flooding source with unrevised NGVD 29 flood elevations
are coincident, an individual offset has been calculated and applied during the
creation of this statewide format FIRM. See Section 6.1 of the accompanying
Flood Insurance Study report to obtain further information on the conversion
of elevations between NAVD 88 and NGVD 29. To obtain current elevation,
description, and /or location information for bench marks shown on this map,
please contact the North Carolina Geodetic Survey at the address shown below.

This digital Flood Insurance Rate. Map (FIRM) was produced through a unique
cooperative partnership between the State of North Carolina and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The State of North Carolina has
implemented a long term approach of floodplain management to decrease
the costs associated with flooding. This is demonstrated by the State's com-
mitment to map floodplain areas at the local level. As a part of this effort, the
State of North Carolina has joined in a Cooperating Technical State agreement
with FEMA to roduce and maintain this di ital FIRM.

This map is for use in administering the National Flood Insurance Program. It does not
necessarily identify all areas subject to flooding, particularly from local drainage sources
of small size. The community map repository should be consulted for possible updated
or additional flood hazard information.
To obtain more detailed information in areas where Base Flood Elevations BFEs
and /or floodways have been determined, users are encouraged to consult the Flood
Profiles, Floodway Data and /or Summary of Stillwater Elevations tables contained within
the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report that accompanies this FIRM. Users should be
aware that BFEs shown on the FIRM represent rounded whole -foot elevations. These
BFEs are intended for flood insurance rating purposes only and should not be used
as the sole source of flood elevation information. Accordingly, flood elevation data
presented in the AS report should be utilized in conjunction with the FIRM for purposes
of construction and /or floodplain management.
Boundaries of the floodways were computed at cross sections and interpolated between
cross sections. The floodwa s were based on hydraulic considerations with regard to
Y Y g
requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program. Floodway widths and other
q 9 Y
pertinent floodway data are provided in the Flood Insurance Study report for the jurisdictions.
re M��
Certain areas not in Special Flood Hazard Areas may be protected by flood control
structures. Refer to Section 4.4 "Flood Protection Measures" of the Flood Insurance
Study report for information on flood control structures in the jurisdictions..
Base map information and geospatial data used to develop this FIRM were ob t ained from
various organizations, including the participating local community(ies), state and federal
agencies, and /or other sources, The primary base for this FIRM is aerial imagery acquired as
part of the National Digital Orthophoto Program. The time period of collection for the
imagery is 2000. Information and geospatial data supplied by the local community(ies)
that met FEMA base map specifications were considered the preferred source for
development of the base map. See geospatial metadata for the associated digital FIRM
for additional information about base map preparation.
Base map features shown on this map, such as corporate limits, are based on the
most up-to -date data available at the time of publication. Changes in the corporate
limits may have occurred since this map was published. Map users should
co n su I t t h e a pp r o p ri ate community o r w ebs i to to verify cu rr e n t conditions of
jurisdictional boundaries and base map features.
This map reflects more detailed and up-to-date stream channel configurations than
those shown on the previous FIRM for this jurisdiction. The floodplains and floodways
that were transferred from the previous FIRM may have been adjusted to conform to
these new stream channel configurations. As a result, the Flood Profiles and Floodway
Data tables in the Flood Insurance Study report (which contains authoritative hydraulic
data may reflect stream channel distances that differ from what is shown on this map.

j SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS (SFHAs) SUBJECT TO
INUNDATION BY THE 1 % ANNUAL CHANCE FLOOD
The 1 % annual chance flood (100 -year flood), also known as the base flood, is the flood
that has a 1 % chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The Special
Flood Hazard Area is the area subject to flooding by the 1% annual chance flood. Areas
of Special Flood Hazard include Zones A, AE, AH, AO, AR, A99, V, and VE. The Base
Flood Elevation is the water - surface elevation of the 1% annual chance flood.
ZONE A No Base Flood Elevations determined.
ZONE AE Base Flood Elevations determined.
ZONE AH Flood depths of 1 to 3 feet (usually areas of ponding); Base Flood
Elevations determined.
ZONE AO Flood depths of 1 to 3 feet (usually sheet flow on sloping terrain);
average depths determined. For areas of alluvial fan flooding, velocities
also determined.
ZONE AR Special Flood Hazard Area formerly protected from the 1% annual
chance flood by a flood control system that was subsequently
decertified. Zone AR indicates that the former flood control system is
being restored to provide protection from the 10/ annual chance or
greater flood. M
ZONE A99 Area to lee protected from 1 g'o annual chance lived by a Federal
flood protection system under construction; no Base Flood Elevations
determined.
ZONE VE Coastal flood zone with velocity hazard (wave action); Base Flood Elevations
determined.

The Floodway is the channel of a stream plus any adjacent floodplain areas that must be
kept free of encroachment so that the 1% annual chance flood can be carried without
substantial increases in flood heights.

mechanism to provide for protection of the property's nutrient removal and other water quality
functions.
(7) The applicant or mitigation provider shall submit written annual reports for a period of five years after
the restoration or enhancement has been conducted showing that the trees or tree and shrub species
planted are meeting success criteria and that diffuse flow through the riparian buffer has been
maintained. The applicant or mitigation provider shall replace trees or shrubs and restore diffuse flow
if needed during that five -year period. Additional years of monitoring may be required if the
objectives under Paragraph (i) have not been achieved at the end of the five -year monitoring period.
(8) The mitigation provider shall provide a site specific credit/debit ledger to the Division at regular
intervals once credits are established and until they are exhausted.
(9) The mitigation provider shall provide a completion bond that is payable to the Division sufficient to
ensure that land purchase, construction, monitoring, and maintenance are completed. A non - wasting
endowment or other financial mechanism for perpetual maintenance and protection shall be provided.
0) PURCHASE OF BUFFER MITIGATION CREDITS FROM A PRIVATE OR PUBLIC MITIGATION BANK.
Applicants who choose to satisfy some or all of their mitigation by purchasing mitigation credits from a private or public
mitigation bank shall meet the following requirements:

property or an interest in real property to fully or partially offset an approved payment into the Riparian Buffer
Restoration Fund pursuant to Paragraph (k) of this Rule shall meet the following requirements:

(1) The value of the property interest shall be determined by an appraisal performed in accordance with
Part (1)(4)(D) of this Rule. The donation shall satisfy the mitigation determination if the appraised
value of the donated property interest is equal to or greater than the required fee. If the appraised
value of the donated property interest is less than the required fee calculated pursuant to Rule .0269 of
this Section, the applicant shall pay the remaining balance due.
(2) The donation of real property interests shall be granted in perpetuity.
(3) Donation of real property interests to satisfy the full or partial payments under Paragraph (k) shall be

(C) A completion bond payable to the Division sufficient to ensure that land purchase,
construction, monitoring, and maintenance are completed.
(D) A non - wasting endowment or other financial mechanism for perpetual maintenance and
protection shall be provided.
(2) ALTERNATIVE BUFFER MITIGATION — NON - STRUCTURAL, VEGETATIVE OPTIONS
(A) Coastal Headwater Stream Mitigation. Wooded buffers planted along Outer Coastal Plain
headwater stream mitigation sites may be approved as riparian buffer mitigation as long as
the site meets all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule. In addition, all
success criteria including woody species, stem density, diffuse flow, and stream success
criteria specified by the Division in any required written approval of the site shall be met.
The area of the buffer shall be measured perpendicular to the length of the valley being
restored. The area within the proposed buffer mitigation shall not also be used as wetland
mitigation. The mitigation provider shall monitor the site for at least five years from the date
of planting by providing annual reports for written Division approval.
(B) Buffer Restoration and Enhancement on Non - Subject Streams. Restoration or enhancement
of buffers may be conducted on intermittent or perennial streams that are not subject to
riparian buffer rules. These streams shall be confirmed as intermittent or perennial streams
by Division staff using the Division publication, Methodology for Identification of
Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins (v.4.11, 20 10) available at no cost at
http:// portal.ncdenr.org/web /wq /swp /ws/ 401 /waterresources /streamdeterminations. The
proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule.
(C) Preservation of Buffer on Non - subject streams. Preservation of buffers on intermittent or
perennial streams that are not subject to riparian buffer rules may be proposed in order to
permanently protect the buffer from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities
that would affect the functioning of the buffer. These streams shall be confirmed as
intermittent or perennial streams by Division staff using the Division publication,
Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins
(v.4.11,2010). The preservation site shall meet the requirements of Subparagraphs (i)(1),
(i)(3), (i)(6) and Parts (1)(3)(D), (E), (F), (H) and (J) of this Rule. Preservation shall be
proposed only when restoration or enhancement with an area at least equal to the footprint of
the buffer impact has been proposed.
(D) Preservation of Buffers on Subject Streams. Buffer preservation maybe proposed in order to
permanently protect the buffer from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities
that would affect the functioning of the buffer beyond the protection afforded by the existing

buffer rules on sites that meet the definition of a preservation site along streams, estuaries, or
ponds that are subject to buffer rules. The preservation site shall meet the requirements of
Subparagraphs (i)(1), (i)(3), (i)(6) and Parts (1)(3)(D), (E), (F), (H) and (J) of this Rule.
Preservation shall be proposed only when restoration or enhancement of an area at least
equal to the footprint of the buffer impact has been proposed.
(E) Sewer easement within the buffer. If the proposed mitigation site contains a sewer easement
in Zone 1, that portion of the sewer easement within Zone 1 is not suitable for buffer
mitigation. If the proposed mitigation site contains a sewer easement in Zone 2, the portion
of the sewer easement in Zone 2 may be suitable for buffer mitigation i£
(i) the applicant or mitigation provider restores or enhances the forested buffer in Zone
1 adjacent to the sewer easement;
(ii) the sewer easement is at least 30 feet wide;
(iii) the sewer easement is required to be maintained in a condition that meets the
vegetative requirements of the collection system permit; and
(iv) diffuse flow is provided across the entire buffer width.
The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule for
restoration or enhancement. The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Part
(m)(2)(C) of this Rule for preservation.
(F) Enhancement of grazing areas adjacent to streams. Buffer credit at a 2:1 ratio shall be
available for an applicant or mitigation provider who proposes permanent exclusion of
grazing livestock that otherwise degrade the stream and riparian zone through trampling,
grazing, or waste deposition by fencing the livestock out of the stream and its adjacent buffer.
The applicant or mitigation provider shall provide an enhancement plan as set forth in
Paragraph (i). The applicant or mitigation provider shall demonstrate that grazing was the
predominant land use since the effective date of the applicable buffer rule.
(G) Mitigation on ephemeral channels. For purposes of riparian buffer mitigation as described in
this Part, an "ephemeral channel" is defined as a natural channel exhibiting discernible banks
within a topographic crenulation (V- shaped contour lines) indicative of natural drainage on
the 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic map prepared by the U.S. Geologic
Survey, or as seen on digital elevation models with contours developed from the most recent
available LiDAR data. Ephemeral channels only flow for a short period of time after
precipitation in the immediate area and do not have periods of base flow sustained by
groundwater discharge. The applicant or mitigation provider shall provide a delineation of
the watershed draining to the ephemeral channel. The entire area proposed for mitigation
shall be within the contributing drainage area to the ephemeral channel. The ephemeral
channel shall be directly connected to an intermittent or perennial stream and contiguous with
the rest of the mitigation site protected under a perpetual conservation easement. The area of
the mitigation site on ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent ofthe total
area of mitigation. The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of
this Rule for restoration or enhancement. The proposal shall meet all applicable
requirements of Part (m)(2)(C) of this Rule for preservation.
(H) Restoration and Enhancement on Ditches. For purposes of riparian buffer mitigation as
described in this Part, a "ditch" is defined as a man -made channel other than a modified
natural stream that was constructed for drainage purposes. To be used for mitigation, a ditch
shall meet all of the following criteria:
(i) be directly connected with and draining towards an intermittent or perennial stream;
(ii) be contiguous with the rest of the mitigation site protected under a perpetual
conservation easement;
(iii) stormwater runoff from overland flow shall drain towards the ditch;
(iv) be between one and three feet in depth; and
(v) the entire length of the ditch shall have been in place prior to the effective date of
the applicable buffer rule.
The width of the restored or enhanced area shall not be less than 30 feet and shall not exceed
50 feet for crediting purposes. The applicant or mitigation provider shall provide a
delineation of the watershed draining to the ditch. The watershed draining to the ditch shall

be at least four times larger than the restored or enhanced area along the ditch. The perpetual
conservation easement shall include the ditch and the confluence of the ditch with the
intermittent or perennial stream, and provide language that prohibits future maintenance of
the ditch. The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule
for restoration or enhancement.
(3) ALTERNATIVE BUFFER STORMWATER TREATMENT OPTIONS.
(A) For all structural options: Riparian buffer restoration or enhancement is required with an
area at least equal to the footprint of the buffer impact, and the remaining mitigation resulting
from the multipliers may be met through structural options;
(B) Structural measures already required by other local, state or federal rule or permit cannot be
used as alternative buffer mitigation, except to the extent such measure(s) exceed the
requirements of such rule or permit. Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs),
including bioretention facilities, constructed wetlands, infiltration devices and sand filter are
all potentially approvable (BMPs) for alternative buffer mitigation. Other BMPs may be
approved only if they meet the nutrient removal levels outlined in Part (3)(C) of this
Subparagraph. Existing or planned BMPs for a local, state, or federal rule or permit may be
retrofitted or expanded to improve their nutrient removal if this level of treatment would not
be required by other local, state, or federal rules. In this case, the predicted increase in
nutrient removal may be counted toward alternative buffer mitigation;
(C) Minimum treatment levels: Any structural BMP shall provide at least 30 percent total
nitrogen and 35 percent total phosphorus removal as demonstrated by a scientific and
engineering literature review as approved by the Division. The mitigation proposal shall
demonstrate that the proposed alternative removes an equal or greater annual mass load of
nutrients to surface waters as the buffer impact authorized in the authorization certificate or
variance, following the calculation of impact and mitigation areas pursuant to Paragraphs (d),
(e), and (f) of this Rule. To estimate the rate of nutrient removal of the impacted buffer, the
applicant or mitigation provider shall use a method previously approved by the Division. The
applicant or mitigation provider may propose an alternative method of estimating the rate of
nutrient removal for consideration and review by the Division;
(D) All proposed structural BMPs shall follow the Division's 2009 Stormwater Best Management
Practice Design Manual available at no cost at http: // portal .ncdenr.org /web /Ir/bmp- manual. If
