The CGMB contains headwater streams of the upper Catawba River Basin. The project area is contiguous to, and lies just downstream of, approximately 30,000 acres of non- developable United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, United States Department of the Interior (USDI) National Park Service (Blue Ridge Parkway) and Town of Old Fort municipal water supply land. For these reasons the potential for ecological uplift and benefit to the Catawba River Basin/Watershed resulting from the restoration, enhancement, and preservation of streams within the project area is greater than mitigation projects lower in the watershed. This project offers the opportunity to improve water quality and ecology from the top of the watershed and these factors should be considered when evaluating the value and credit generation for this project. The project area lies just upstream of multiple Targeted Local Watersheds (TLW) and areas with Local Watershed Plans (LWP) identified by NC Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Mitigation Services, Catawba River Basin. The CGMB will benefit TLWs and LWPs and will meet mitigation needs in the Catawba Basin of North Carolina. The site entrance is at 985 Old US 70, Old Fort, North Carolina, 28762. The project area is centered approximately at Latitude 35.64397 and -82.19258 Longitude. A site location map can be found as an inset within Exhibit A (Camp Grier Conceptual Mitigation Plan). The property and project area slope generally south from the southeast side of the Black Mountain range and makes up part of the boundary between the mountain and piedmont physiographic regions on the flank of the Blue Ridge escarpment. Streams that do not originate within the project area flow from approximately 30,000 acres of undeveloped and protected land to the project area. The most predominant stream in the project area is Jarrett Creek, which flows through the property and southern portion of the project area. Padgett Branch, its tributaries and its confluence with Jarrett creek, make up the remainder of the project area. Jarrett creek flows to Mill Creek just south of the Camp Grier property. Mill Creek is a major tributary, and trout fishery, of the South Fork of the Catawba River. The Camp Grier property and project area are surrounded to the west, north, and east by USDA, USDI, and municipal property as mentioned above. This site is bordered on its remaining southwest, south and southeast sides by private undeveloped and residential properties. The 14-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) for the site is 03050101010010. The CGMB will serve the area within the eight-digit HUC: 03050101 which extends to the South Carolina state line (Exhibit B). The project area will occupy approximately 105 acres within the 620-acre Camp Grier property. Much of the project area has been impacted by logging before 1960 and is currently suffering repetitive and ongoing impacts from camp activities and camp development. Streams within the project appear to have been degraded from their current NC DWR water quality classification by historic excavation, channelization, filling, and stormwater, sediment, and nutrient impacts. Water quality generally decreases as it flows from the protected properties immediately upstream, through developed areas of the camp, that currently exhibit narrow, poorly vegetated buffers and propagate the impacts mentioned above.

The board members for the Camp Grier 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization are currently committed to the CGMB project if the project can generate the credits necessary to ensure the project’s viability. Based on preliminary site investigations, the project provides the opportunity to restore approximately 1,261 linear feet of stream and restore and create approximately 0.27 acres of wetlands. The project will result in the implementation of a holistic stormwater management plan, enhance approximately 9,229 linear feet of stream, and preserve approximately 12,000 linear feet of headwater stream. Preservation of headwater streams is proposed upstream of the restored and enhanced streams and wetlands, thus protecting the restored and enhanced environment. In total, the project will result in more than 22,000 linear feet of stream, approximately 0.27 acres of wetlands, and about 105 acres of stream and wetland buffer being protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement and Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) designed for the project. The conservation easement will be held by a nationally accredited, non-profit regional land trust, that serves North Carolina’s eastern Blue Ridge Mountains and Foothills. The Project Sponsor is Camp Grier, a 501(c)(3) organization. Jason McDougald is the Executive Director of the Camp and the Sponsor’s liaison to the Camp Grier Board. Jason earned Undergraduate and Master’s Degrees in Education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and has over 14 years of experience in Youth and No-profit Leadership. The project is being planned, designed, engineered, permitted and monitored by Quible & Associates, P.C. (Quible) a civil and environmental engineering company with offices in Powells Point and Black Mountain, NC. Quible is an experienced envrionmental consulting firm that was established in 1959 and that specializes in environmental assessment, environmental permitting and environmental restoration in addition to other civil, planning, and surveying capabilities and services. Joel Lenk, P.G. will be the Project Manager, Lead Designer, and Permitting Specialist for the project. Joel will be the point of contact with regulatory agencies and the Inter-agency Review Team (IRT) and will perform construction observation and most monitoring for the project. Joel has over 14 years of experience with recognized engineering and geological consulting firms and over 13 years of experience as a Licensed Geologist and Water Resources Professional.

The NC Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) 2007 Lower Catawba River Basin Restoration Priorities and 2009 Upper Catawba River Restoration Priorities documents, supplements to the original 2004 Catawba River Basin Watershed Restoration Plan, highlight the 40 current TLWs within the Catawba Basin. The TLWs are selected based on three criteria: Problems, Assets, and Opportunities. The Camp Grier Mitigation Bank project area lies just outside a current TLW for the Upper Catawba Basin and will help meet Upper Catawba restoration goals outlined below and in the 2009 Basin Restoration Priorities: • “Restoration of nutrient- and sediment-impaired waters (including tributary streams) of the Catawba River mainstem lakes (water supply reservoirs), including Lake James, Lake Rodhiss, Lake Hickory and Lookout Shoals Lake.” • “Protection of riparian buffers and aquatic habitat within the headwater reaches of asset-rich watersheds of the upper Catawba River basin, including the upper Linville River, North Fork Catawba River, Wilson Creek, Mulberry Creek, Johns River and Lower Little River.” • “Implementation of stormwater assessment and management efforts, including stormwater BMP projects, within urban and suburban subwatersheds in the Linville, Marion, Lenoir, Morganton, Hickory and Taylorsville areas.” • “Increased implementation of agricultural BMPs within heavily agricultural sub-watersheds of TLWs, including North and South Muddy Creeks, Silver Creek, lower Lower Creek, Lower Little River, Jumping Run Creek and Elk Shoal Creek.” Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O.

The purpose of the project is to compensate for losses of Waters of the State permitted by State and Federal regulatory agencies through the restoration, enhancement, creation and preservation of more than 22,000 linear feet of stream and approximately 0.27 acres of wetlands. The project will provide measurable water quality benefits to Padgett Branch and its tributaries, Jarrett Creek, Mill Creek and the Upper Catawba River by restoring impacted and unstable stream reaches and by reducing nutrient, sediment, and bacterial impacts conveyed to project area streams by stormwater, agriculture, and erosion taking place on the Camp Grier Property. Ongoing stormwater impacts will be mitigated through implementation of a Stormwater Management Plan for the entire developed area of the parcel through stormwater and livestock Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs) that will be located outside the proposed conservation easement for the project. In addition, establishment and enhancement of wide and diversely vegetated, native riparian buffers, many with total widths exceeding 300 feet will contribute to the quality of the project. Any SCMs that may be located within the conservation easement will be designed as “zero maintenance” measures that will prevent direct stormwater input to streams, disperse concentrated flow and promote infiltration and discharge to streams as shallow groundwater. The project will eliminate or drastically reduce future impacts resulting from camp related activities and create, improve and extend habitat from protected land upstream, surrounding properties and unimpacted areas of Camp Grier. The CGMB project will reduce temperature, sediment, biological and nutrient inputs within the project area and improve water quality and ecology on-site and downstream through the implementation of an approved Mitigation Plan. 1.4 FUTURE SITE DEVELOPMENT The Camp Grier property has suffered land and water quality impacts associated first with historic logging in the 1950’s and subsequently by agriculture, aquaculture, and lake building circa 1960-1970. More recently, increased camp development, related recreational activities and sediment and temperature inputs from gravel and soil roads and trails are contributing most heavily to water quality impacts at the site. Roads and trails currently provide the conduit for sediment, nutrient, and biological water quality impacts. The demonstrable threat of future camp development is evident as new camp leadership has been successful in acquiring additional funding, developing new camp programs, and soliciting additional camp users to the property. New and expanding camp activities include a growing equestrian program, additional hiking and mountain biking trails and additional lake infrastructure and activities. Construction of more roads, trails and additional horse and livestock pasture are currently taking place. Additionally, traditional mowing and vegetation management techniques used within riparian areas are contributing to nutrient, pollutant, sediment, and temperature impacts to Jarrett Creek and Padgett Branch within the project area and downstream. Without the establishment of the CGMB and its associated covenants and easement that will permanently protect streams, wetlands, and riparian buffers, water quality will continue to decline. Additionally, future camp administrations may not have the foresight or interest to consider and pursue the mitigation banking and conservation options. Finally, if the camp were to become non- viable, as it nearly did several years ago, the owners of the property will consider the sale and development of the property to fund church and mission related efforts.

Establishment of the CGMB will help ensure that the property continues to operate only as a wilderness camp with a new water and land quality educational component and awareness. The project will discourage higher density forms of development and reduce and eliminate impacts from future development if it does occur. Camp activities currently responsible for water quality impacts will also be reduced/eliminated and managed with a greater awareness. New activities will be forced to be located outside conserved riparian buffers established as part of CGMB. Access to areas within the CGMB will be restricted by signage and exclusionary fencing. 2.0 BASELINE CONDITIONS 2.1 COMMUNITY TYPES The CGMB lies in the “Blue Ridge Level III Ecoregion” of the US and the “Eastern Blue Ridge Foothills Level IV Ecoregion” according to the Ecoregions Map of North Carolina (Griffith, G.E., Omernik, J.M., Comstock, J.A., Schafale, M.P., McNab, W.H., Lenat, D.R., and MacPherson, T.F., 2002, Ecoregions of North Carolina, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Corvallis, OR, (map scale 1:1,500,000)). Natural Communities within the project area included altered Rich Cove and Acidic Cove Forest (Schafale, M.P. and A.S. Weakley. 1990. CLASSIFICATION OF THE NATURAL COMMUNITIES OF NORTH CAROLINA THIRD APPROXIMATION. NC Natural Heritage Program, Raleigh, NC.) 2.2 VEGETATION Dominant vegetation within the riparian corridor includes, tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), various oak (Quercus var.), red maple (Acer rubrum), shellbark hickory (Carya laciniosa), rhododendron (Rhododendron var.), mountain alder (Alnus viridis), box elder (Acer negundo), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) , New York fern (Thelypteris noveboracensis), jewel weed (Impatiens capensis), poison ivy (Toxidendron radicans) and stinging nettle (Urtica dioica). Significantly large portions of the project area, where riparian buffers are to be restored and enhanced, are currently vegetated with maintained turf grasses. Some riparian areas, due to current vegetation management, are mostly bare soil. Exotic invasive plant species observed within the project area include but may not be limited to Japanese knot weed (Polygonum cuspidatum), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Chinese grass (Boehmeria nivea) and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense). 2.3 SOIL CHARACTERIZATION The CGMB project area consists of slopes that range from nearly flat to steep, approximately 3% to nearly 100% slope. The project area is predominantly comprised of Chestnut-Ashe complex and Dillard loam soils. Chestnut-Ashe soils are classified as having slopes ranging from 50 to 95 percent, are well drained with a high runoff class, and a depth to restrictive feature greater than 80 inches. Dillard loam soils are classified as having slopes ranging from 1 to 5 percent, are moderately well drained, with a low runoff class, and a depth to restrictive feature greater than 80 inches. A USDA soil map for McDowell County and project area is included as Exhibit D. Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O.

Jarrett Creek, upstream of the project area to the historic Town of Old Fort water supply intake (adjacent to the Camp Grier property boundary), is classified by NC DEQ as “C:HQW”. Jarrett Creek originates approximately 4.5 miles upstream of Camp Grier within USDA and USDI land at an elevation of approximately 4,000 feet on the southeast slope of Glass Rock Knob. Interestingly, Jarrett Creek within the Camp Grier property extending downstream to its confluence with Mill Creek has a water quality classification by NC DEQ of “C”. Mill Creek, downstream of Jarrett Creek, is classified as “C:Tr”. Jarrett Creek is a third order stream as it flows through Camp Grier Property and the project area. Padgett Branch above Camp Grier Lake is classified as a “B;Tr” while Padgett Branch below Camp Grier Lake is classified as “C:Tr” water. About half of the unnamed tributaries to Padgett Brach originate on Camp Grier property within the project area. Padgett Branch is a second order stream. Goals of the CGMB project include: 1. Returning the water quality in Jarrett Creek within the Camp Grier property and project boundary to a condition representative of NC DWR Water Quality Classification of C:Tr or higher; 2. Restoring Padgett Branch and its tributaries to a condition representative of its B:Tr classification standard or higher. The contributing watershed for Jarrett Creek is entirely undeveloped except for soil roads and water supply infrastructure (inline impoundment related to the historic Town of Old Fort Water Supply), until the stream reaches the confluence of Padgett Branch and Camp Grier Road (located within 50 feet of one another). At this point warm, sediment laden stream water and stormwater enter Jarrett Creek causing visible impairment and apparently measurable water quality impacts. Downstream of the Padgett Branch/Jarrett Creek confluence, the riparian buffer for Jarrett Creek narrows significantly and additional runoff from Camp Grier Road is further reducing water quality in Jarrett Creek before it leaves the property and enters Mill Creek. As part of the CGMB project and together with the Fonta Flora State Trail project, Camp Grier has purchased an approximately 100-feet wide, 4- acre strip of land adjacent to the river-right side of Jarrett Creek that will permanently protect a minimum 30-feet wide stream buffer along Jarret Creek within the CGMB project area. The acquired strip of property will allow relocation of Camp Grier Road sufficient to provide the 30+ feet buffer along Jarret Creek, installation of SCMs, and a corridor for the Fonta Flora Trail outside the buffer. The average stream slope of Jarrett Creek was measured using existing topographic data to be approximately 9% and its contributing watershed above the project area is approximately 2,780 acres. The lower reach of Padgett Branch from its confluence with Jarrett Creek upstream to the Camp Grier Lake Dam has been impacted historically by the building of Camp Grier Road and filling of the stream channel and its floodplain with blasted rock debris. Large volumes of sediment are entering Lower Padgett Branch through unmitigated stormwater flowing from Camp Grier Road. Sediment entry points were observed and noted at multiple distinct locations along the road/streambank. Unnatural upland sediment deposits are visible throughout pools and low energy areas of Lower Padgett Branch and Jarret Creek. Photos of unnatural sediment deposits as well as other portions of the project area are included as Exhibit E. Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O. Drawer 870 ▪ Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 ▪ Fax (252) 491-8146 ______________________________________ 7 The culvert that conveys Lower Padgett Branch beneath Camp Grier Road (approximately 100 feet below Camp Grier Lake Dam) is a barrier to aquatic passage. Padgett Branch does not appear to have a volume or depth of flow to support trout; however, should support species of minnows and macro-invertebrates that sustain trout and other fauna. Interestingly, the Camp Grier Lake Dam appears as though it may impose less of an aquatic barrier than the referenced culvert due to its spillway design and the continual flow of water down the non-vertical dam face. This spillway structure appears to allow macro invertebrate passage over Camp Grier Lake Dam. The lake/dam also provides an opportunity for enhancement through installation of a cool water release structure that will enhance Lower Padgett Branch and should be considered as part of the enhancement and credit generation for the Lower Padgett Branch reach of the project. The average stream channel slope of Padgett branch from Camp Grier Lake Dam to its confluence with Jarrett Creek was measured using existing topographic data to be approximately 11%. The contributing watershed for all of Padgett Branch to the confluence of Jarrett Creek is approximately 460 acres. The main stem of Padgett Branch above Camp Grier Lake (Upper Padgett Branch) has a generally shallower slope than the lower reach downstream of the lake. Tributaries predominantly enter the upper reach from the north and from Camp Grier property. The slope of the main stem of the upper reach of Padgett Branch was measured to be approximately 3%-5%. Its tributaries, T1-T11 steepen significantly up valley. Much of the riparian buffer along the main stem of Padgett Branch is maintained using traditional non- environmentally sensitive mowing and vegetation management techniques. The main stem of Upper Padgett Branch and several of the downstream ends of its tributaries appear to have been historically relocated toward the edge of their natural valleys and appear to have been straightened and deepened. Preliminary cross-sections and observations for this project support these findings. Four small impoundments have been observed and noted in Upper Padgett Branch and its tributaries, one along the main stem (reportedly historically used to fill the Camp swimming pool), one in Tributary T1A (apparently to help regulate flow in trout ponds constructed within the riparian buffer), one in T2A (also associated with trout pisciculture) and a fourth in Tributary T2 for an unknown purpose (see Exhibit A). Finally, an apparent .01-acre wetland area at the upstream end of Tributary T2A has been historically impacted by excavation and water conveyance infrastructure. A United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) NC Wetland Assessment Methodology (NC WAM) form has been completed for this and other areas and is included in Exhibit F-Stream & Wetland Data Forms. 2.5 PRELIMINARY STREAM CLASSIFICATION Nearly all of the approximately 20,000 linear feet of stream within the CGMB project area have been observed on multiple occasions prior to submittal of this prospectus document. Photographic documentation of representative areas of streams are included as Exhibit E. USACE North Carolina Stream Assessment Methodology (NC SAM) forms have been completed for both Jarrett Creek and the main stem of Padgett Branch (Exhibit F). Preliminary cross-sections of the main stem of Padgett Branch were measured using non-survey grade techniques and conventional measuring tools. Measurements were converted to cross-sections and measured dimensions were applied to the Key for the Rosgen Classification of Natural Rivers. Cross-sections, current Rosgen Classifications, and proposed conditions are included as Exhibit G- Stream Classification Exhibit, Sheets 1 and 2. Jarrett Creek within the project reach has a lower slope (estimated to be 4%) than Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O. Drawer 870 ▪ Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 ▪ Fax (252) 491-8146 ______________________________________ 8 the reach above the Padgett Branch confluence. Jarrett Creek within the project area is preliminarily classified as a classic, minimally impaired “B4a-B5a” stream by the Rosgen Classification of Natural Rivers, however is suffering from the impacts discussed above. Lower Padgett Branch below Camp Crier Lake at Cross-Section 1 is preliminarily classified as an impaired “A5” stream. The main stem of Upper Padgett Branch above Camp Grier Lake at Cross-section 2 was preliminarily assessed as an impaired “B6” stream with low sinuosity due to historic straightening and dredging. Further upstream above the swimming pool on Upper Padgett Branch at Cross-section 3, Padgett Brach was classified as an impaired G6 stream (Exhibit G). 3.0 CONCEPTUAL RESTORATION PLAN 3.1 OVERVIEW Mitigation within the project area will consist of Stream Restoration (Priority Level 1 and 2), Stream Enhancement (Levels 1 & 2), Stream Preservation for streams and their buffers upstream of restored and enhanced areas and Wetland Creation/Restoration. Riparian Buffer Restoration, and a holistic Stormwater Management Plan will contribute to the CGMB project and the improvements to water quality and habitat that will be protected in perpetuity by the CGMB Conservation Easement and MBI. The Camp Grier project has a greater potential to improve water quality, habitat, and ecology than other mitigation projects due to its location in the watershed and its connectivity with tens of thousands of acres of protected land. The Conceptual Mitigation Plan is attached as Exhibit A. It is the opinion of Camp Grier and Quible that the combination and cumulative effect of: stormwater management both inside and outside conservation easement boundaries; riparian buffer creation and enhancement; relocation of camp infrastructure outside conservation easements; and the proposed in-channel work could be considered “Restoration” for many of the proposed stream reaches. It is also understood, based on the IRT’s preliminary feedback, that these cumulative activities do not fit into the IRT’s definition of “Restoration”. The prospectus and conceptual restoration plan have been revised from the original draft that was submitted to IRT members. Nearly all proposed work has been modified from “Restoration” to “Enhancement” per IRT comment and proposed credit ratios for nearly all stream reaches have been reduced. For this important project to be viable, credit ratios for “Enhancement” must to take into consideration the location of the CGMB at the top of the watershed, its connectivity to high quality stream reaches, potential for water quality and ecological uplift, effort and cost associated with the proposed work and the cumulative benefit to the Preserved, Restored and Enhanced streams within the project, waters downstream and relevance to development and future impacts within the Catawba Basin. Buffer correction factors for buffers wider than the required 30-feet width have not been applied for this project at this time. It is proposed that buffer correction factors be applied during the MBI and Mitigation Plan phase of the project. 3.2 RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT Restoration and Enhancement of streams and wetlands within the project area are being conducted based on industry standard assessment techniques and methodologies developed and adopted by, but not limited to: Rosgen/Wildland Hydrology; North Carolina State Stream Restoration Institute; NC DEQ, USDA Forest Service; USFWS and United States Army Corps of Engineers. Assessment of channel dimension, pattern, and profile and natural channel design concepts are being used for streams within the project area. Streams will be designed to resemble and function as stable and natural stream systems Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O.

Wetland assessment, restoration, and creation is being conducted using the USACE three parameter approach and restored wetlands will be designed to incorporate wetland soils, a dominance of wetland plants, endure wetland hydrology and mimic “reference” wetlands found in similar undisturbed settings on the Camp Grier property and nearby. Wetlands within the project area have, or will be, delineated and flagged in the field before the formal Mitigation Plan is submitted for the CGMB project. It is assumed, based on observations made within the project area, that all locations and lengths of streams are not accurately portrayed as “blue lines” on USGS maps of the area and other readily available sources of stream information. North Carolina Division of Water Resources, Stream Identification Forms have been filled out for many of the streams within the project area and the upstream jurisdictional extent of streams has been flagged in the field (Exhibit F). Confirmation of the jurisdictional boundary for streams and wetlands within the project area is requested before survey grade data is collected for the project by a NC Licensed Surveyor. Approximately 1,261 linear feet of Stream Restoration, 9,229 linear feet of Stream Enhancement, 12,000 linear feet of Stream Preservation and 0.27 acres of Wetland Creation/Restoration is proposed for the CGMB. Stream restoration will include Priority 1 and 2 Options for restoring incised and impaired channels. Restoration and Enhancement of CGMB streams will be augmented by stormwater, sediment and erosion control and agricultural Best Management Practices that will significantly reduce the following inputs to streams and wetlands: • Peak flows and excess stream power resulting from impervious surface runoff • Warm water temperature inputs • Sediment, nutrient, and biological inputs Riparian buffers within the project area will be restored, enhanced, and preserved to a minimum average width of 30 feet and will be much wider in most areas. It is assumed that a buffer correction factor will be applied to credit generation once the conservation easement is surveyed and recorded for the project. JARRETT CREEK Jarrett Creek from the Camp Grier property line, upstream to the confluence with Padgett Branch (approximately 860 linear feet) will be enhanced by completing the following list of activities that are expected to fall within the Enhancement Level I category and generate mitigation credits at a ratio of 2.5:1. Specifically, the enhancement of Jarrett Creek is proposed to include but may not be limited to: • Installation of an in-stream structure that will reduce hydraulic stress and reduce erosion on the river-right streambank at the downstream bridge, o A rock single arm vein structure is needed to prevent the ongoing erosion of the river-right bank and direct flow toward the center of the bridge; ▪ After viewing the high flow and erosion that has taken place since the preliminary IRT on-site meeting, Camp Grier and Quible maintain that an in-stream structure is needed at this location • Enhancement of the riparian buffer, including purchase of adjacent property on river-right so that the buffer can be expanded to a minimum 30-feet width on the river-right side of the stream; Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O. Drawer 870 ▪ Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 ▪ Fax (252) 491-8146 ______________________________________ 10 • Relocation of Camp Grier Road to enable buffer enhancement. Relocation of the road should be considered an enhancement to the stream reach and factored into credit generation for the reach. • Installation of engineered SCMs along Camp Grier Road o SCMs within the CGMB conservation easement, if constructed, will be “zero maintenance” o SCMs outside the CGMB will be maintained for the life of the camp. All SCMs should be factored into the effort put forth for the CGMB project and credits generated by the enhanced reach. Stormwater Control Measures appear to have similar, and in some cases greater, potential to improve water quality within the project area than traditional restoration and enhancement activities • Adjustment of the lateral slope of Camp Grier Road to direct stormwater to SCMs and away from direct pathways to Jarret Creek. • Modification to bridge approaches along Camp Grier Road to reduce sediment input from vehicle traffic. • Removal of plastic sheeting and historic water supply infrastructure from Jarret Creek buffer and stream, excluding removal of the concrete pad which was recommended to be left in place during the preliminary IRT site visit. The conceptual plan for Jarrett Creek and the surrounding project area is visible on Sheet 2 of Exhibit A. Jarrett Creek and Camp Grier Road are located within a FEMA FIRM Zone AE with no apparent regulatory floodway. No other areas of the project are located with FEMA flood zones. The proposed Enhancement of Jarrett Creek will not require FEMA permitting. The conservation easement for the project will encompass the entire FIRM zone and will preclude further encroachment and development. LOWER PADGETT BRANCH The lower reach of Padgett Branch (approximately 846 feet) will be enhanced by relocating Camp Grier Road in combination with construction of SCMs, riparian buffer enhancement, and stream channel enhancement (Sheet 3-Exhibit A). The following list of activities are expected to fall within the Enhancement Level I category and generate mitigation credits at a ratio of 2.5:1. Lower Padgett Branch is a steep “A” stream type with natural bedrock and boulder grade control throughout (Exhibit G). A majority of the Lower Padgett Branch channel and the river-left bank is clogged with unnatural rock debris from road building. The clogged channel has increased hydraulic stress on the river-right side streambank and is causing erosion and bank failure (Exhibit E). Buffer enhancement will include addition of stabilized soil and installation of native riparian plantings to the predominantly rock talus river-left streambank. The stream is further impaired by warm, unmitigated, sediment laden stormwater that originates from Camp Grier Road. Warm water is also being introduced from the surface of Camp Grier Lake. The section of Camp Grier Road that produces stormwater flowing to and impacting Lower Padgett Branch will be modified to promote infiltration and indirect flow to the stream buffer. The longitudinal slope of the road slope will be reduced, and the lateral slope will permanently be modified to direct stormwater to multiple, sequenced SCMs designed to mitigate stormwater for the design storm event with an emphasis on infiltration. Excess rock debris removed from the channel will be relocated to failing and higher stress areas of the streambank and strategically incorporated into hydraulic structures that reduce near- bank hydraulic stress on the impaired river-right bank. Rock debris may also be carefully placed high on the streambanks or be removed from the channel and project area Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O.

The suspended culvert beneath Camp Grier Road will be addressed to improve aquatic passage by constructing a step-pool structure at its downstream end. A cool water release structure will be installed in Camp Grier Lake and designed to provide cooler, more natural temperature water to Lower Padgett Branch and Jarrett Creek. The MBI for the project will specify that if the culvert at this location is ever to be replaced that the stream length occupied by the culvert will be restored and a non-impacting bridge or bottomless culvert will be used to replace the existing culvert. Similarly, the MBI will state that if the Camp Grier Lake Dam is ever to undergo maintenance or be replaced that a similar cool water release structure will be specified for the new or modified dam. Additionally, the MBI will state that if the dam is to ever be removed the stream within the impounded lake bed will be restored to a natural condition. Please refer to Exhibit A for additional detail about enhancement within Lower Padgett Branch and the project area. Exhibit G contains preliminary existing condition cross-sections for Lower Padgett Branch. Exhibit E contains photographs of this reach. TRIBUTARIES T1, T1A, T1B, T1C & T1D Tributary T1 as it approaches Camp Grier Lake will be modified to include an area of constructed wetlands. Fencing and pasture along the northeast side (river-right side) of T1 and other development and infrastructure within a minimum 30-feet riparian area will be relocated outside the conservation easement buffer to allow for a 30+ feet buffer and stream enhancement. Enhancement Level 2 activities will be used in this area in combination with agricultural BMPs and SCMs. Credit generation for Stream T1 where Enhancement Level 2 activities take place is expected to be 4:1. Credit generation for Enhancement Level 1 activities along stream T1A are expected to generate credits at a ratio of 2.5:1. Preservation along these reaches and throughout the project is expected to generate mitigation credits at a ratio of 7:1. Historic trout farming infrastructure, construction and landscaping debris, and a small dam and sediment filled impoundment will be removed from Tributary T1A and its buffer as an Enhancement Level 1 activity. Finally, the suspended culvert at the upper road crossing over Tributary T1A will be modified to allow for improved aquatic passage to the preservation reach upstream. Above the enhanced stream areas, streams associated with Tributary T1 will be preserved and establishment of permanent trail crossings and installation of zero-maintenance SCMs associated with the trails and historic soil roads will be constructed. Recordation of the conservation easement and MBI for the CGMB project will help ensure that additional stream crossings are not created in the future. Please refer to Sheets 8 and 9 in Exhibit A. UPPER PADGETT BRANCH AND TRIBUTARIES T2, T2A & T2B The riparian buffer will be restored and enhanced along Upper Padgett Branch tributaries to a minimum width of 30 feet. The main stem of Upper Padgett Branch from Camp Grier Lake to a head-cut noted in the preliminary IRT meeting and area northeast of the swimming pool will be addressed using a Priority 1 Restoration option. A constructed wetland will be installed just upstream of Camp Grier Lake. Implementation of a SCMs, relocation of overhead powerlines, realignment and out-sloping of Camp Grier Road, and riparian buffer creation and enhancement will contribute to the restoration and will qualify as Enhancement Level 2 for areas upstream of the Restoration area on Upper Padgett Branch and Tributaries T2 and T2a. Additionally, historic, sediment filled, impoundments and small dam structures will be removed from the main stem of Padgett Branch and tributaries of Upper Padgett Branch. Impoundment locations are shown on Sheets 4 and 5 of Exhibit A and in the photos within Exhibit E. Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O. Drawer 870 ▪ Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 ▪ Fax (252) 491-8146 ______________________________________ 12 Enhancement Level 1 and 2 options are proposed along Tributaries T2, T2A and T2B (See Sheets 4 and 10-Exhibit A). Suspended culverts located beneath Camp Grier Road and access roads to the Maintenance Building and Caretakers House are proposed to be addressed by the enhancement. Removal of a small dam structure and impoundment are proposed from Tributary T2. Stormwater Control Measures are proposed for the Caretakers House, Maintenance Building, Camp Grier Road and other impervious areas that drain to the area. Road and powerline relocation in order to combine utility and traffic at stream and buffer crossings are proposed to reduce the number of breaks in the conservation easement and reduce impacts. Wetland restoration/creation is proposed at the upstream end of Tributary T2A in an area impacted by historic trout farming infrastructure. Above the enhancement areas these streams are proposed to be preserved through establishment of permanent trail crossings, installation of SCMs, and recordation of the conservation easement and MBI for the project. Restoration areas are proposed to generate mitigation credits at a 1:1 ratio. Enhancement Level 1 areas are proposed to generate credits at a 3:1 ratio. Enhancement Level 2 areas are proposed to generate credits at a 4:1 ratio. UPPER PADGETT BRANCH AND TRIBUTARIES T3 & T3A Tributary T3 is proposed to be enhanced through Enhancement Level 1 options from its confluence with Padgett Branch upstream for approximately 300 feet to the access road for Main Camp (Sheets 5 and 12-Exhibit A). Two suspended culverts beneath Camp Grier Road and the Main Camp access road will be addressed to improve aquatic passage as part of the enhancement. Stormwater Control Measures associated with the buildings, roads and infrastructure on the east side of Main Camp will contribute to the enhancement. Credit generation for this reach is proposed at 2.5:1. The reach of Tributary T3 extending upstream from Camp Grier Road to a location just upstream of the cabin visible on Sheet 12 of Exhibit A (approximately 581 linear feet) is proposed to be enhanced (Level 2) through riparian buffer restoration and SCMs associated with impervious infrastructure. Above the cabin, Tributary T3 and T3A are proposed to be preserved by establishment of permanent trail crossings, installation of SCMs for trails, and the conservation easement and MBI for the project. Proposed credit generation for these reaches is shown on Exhibit A. TRIBUTARIES T4, T4A, AND T5 Tributaries T4 and T5 (Sheets 6 and 13) are proposed to be restored using a Priority 2 Restoration Option in combination with riparian buffer establishment and SCMs from their confluence with Upper Padgett Branch to Camp Grier Road (431 linear feet). Powerlines currently crossing T4 and T5 will be relocated adjacent to Camp Grier Road to limit impacts and breaks in the conservation easement. Level 2 Enhancement is proposed on Tributary T5 from Camp Grier Road to the jurisdictional stream boundary and will consist of buffer enhancement and bank stabilization. Enhancement Level 2 is proposed on Tributary 4 from Camp Grier Road to the furthest upstream trail crossing. Enhancement Level 2 is proposed to generate stream credits at a ratio of 4:1 for these stream reaches. Preservation is proposed above Restoration and Enhancement reaches to the jurisdictional boundary for the stream (2,598 linear feet) as shown on Sheet 13 of the Camp Grier Conceptual Mitigation Plan. UPPER PADGETT BRANCH AND TRIBUTARIES T6, T7, AND T8 The upstream end of Padgett Branch appears to flow near, and possibly beyond, the east property line with USDA Forest Service land. Until surveyed boundary information is Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O. Drawer 870 ▪ Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 ▪ Fax (252) 491-8146 ______________________________________ 13 available for this area, it is unclear whether the entire reach of Padgett Branch, or enough of its stream buffer exists on Camp Grier property for this area to be included in the project. Regardless, Enhancement Level 2 of Tributaries T6, T7, and T8, through stormwater management associated with cabins, roads and trails that drain to the tributaries, and buffer enhancement are proposed as part of the CGMB project (proposed credit generation ratio of 4:1). Reaches of stream above enhancement areas are proposed to be preserved by the conservation easement and MBI for the project and generate credits at a ratio of 7:1. TRIBUTARIES T9, T10, & T11 Tributaries T9, T10 and T11 that drain to Camp Grier Lake and Padgett Branch from the east from USDA National Forest land will be preserved by the conservation easement and Mitigation Banking Instrument for the project and are proposed to generate credits at a ratio of 7:1. 3.2.1 WETLAND RESTORATION AND CREATION Restoration of wetlands within the project area will include restoration of the wetland area associated with Tributary T2 described above and in areas where Padgett Branch and Tributary T1 flow into Camp Crier Lake. Creation of other wetlands within the project may occur through construction of zero maintenance stormwater SCMs when located within the conservation easement for the project but are not factored into the proposed credit generation for the project. 4.0 PROPOSED MONITORING PLAN The Monitoring Plan for Camp Grier Mitigation Bank will be developed to document and assess that the site is trending toward success and that it is meeting the goals of the Mitigation Plan. The Monitoring Plan will adhere to the Monitoring and Performance Standards for Compensatory Mitigation in North Carolina document produced by the North Carolina Interagency Review Team-February 8, 2013 or more recent guidance specified by the Interagency Review Team (IRT) as triggered by the submittal of this prospectus document and as needed to meet Chapter 33 CFR part 332 (Mitigation Rule). 4.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Site monitoring will occur for a period of seven years. It is understood that if performance standards have not been met by year seven additional monitoring and/or remedial action may be required. Monitoring reports will be completed annually for all seven years and will be submitted to USACE by April 1 of the year following the monitoring. Monitoring reports will be prepared and formatted per Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL 08-03) or as directed by the IRT for this project. As-built surveys, red-lined design drawings and all documenting information will be completed within 60 days following construction of the CGMB project in order to document baseline conditions. As-builts will include but may not be limited to: photo documentation of all cross-sections and structures, plan view diagrams, longitudinal profiles, vegetation information, and the location of all monitoring activities. As-builts will not be provided for Preservation-only portions of the project area. 4.2 PLANTED VEGETATION MONITORING Vegetation plots will be monitored for seven years with monitoring events on years 1-3, 5 and 7. Vegetation planting and replanting will be conducted between November 15 and Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O. Drawer 870 ▪ Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 ▪ Fax (252) 491-8146 ______________________________________ 14 March 15. Vegetation monitoring will be conducted between July 1 and leaf drop. Planted vegetation will be in the ground for no less than 180 days before the first year of monitoring on Year 1. Vegetation survey plots will be randomly located across the site to provide random sampling of all vegetation community types reestablished at the site. Vegetation monitoring will follow the 16-step procedure outlined in the Monitoring and Performance Standards for Compensatory Mitigation in North Carolina (February 8, 2013) requirements specified in Section V, A-Vegetation Planting and Monitoring Requirements and Section V, B-Planted Vegetation Performance Standards. 4.3 STREAM CHANNEL STABILITY AND HYDROLOGY MONITORING Stability and Hydrology Monitoring will be conducted per the Monitoring and Performance Standards for Compensatory Mitigation in North Carolina Section VI to show that proposed in-stream work has corrected channel bed and bank instability for areas of the site where instability is identified as a primary objective in the Mitigation Plan and for areas where instream work changes channel dimensions below bankfull elevation. Channel stability will be monitored for seven years. Reference stakes marking surveyed stations and corresponding as-built survey and longitudinal profile will be installed in the buffer near the stream bank every 100 feet along the stream. Permanent, monumented cross-sections will be installed at an approximate frequency of one per 20 bankfull widths measured along the thalweg. Monitored cross-sections located in stream bends will include an array of bank pins per the referenced guidance. Lateral movement of the streambanks as indicated by pin exposure will be reported in all monitoring reports. Crest gauges will be installed to document bankfull events. At least one gauge will be installed on each stream reach greater than 500 feet in length. One gauge will be installed for every 5,000 feet of length on each tributary to main-stem stream reaches. Stream Channel Stability and Stream Hydrology Performance Standards outlined in Section VI, B of the referenced guidance will be followed. Jurisdictional stream determinations will be requested before the Mitigation Plan is complete. 4.3 STREAM WATER QUALITY AND MACROINVERTEBRATE MONITORING It is the opinion of the project sponsor and Quible that water quality and macroinvertebrate monitoring will be beneficial for this project. As with other stream monitoring described above water quality and macro-benthos monitoring will comply with Monitoring and Performance Standards for Compensatory Mitigation in North Carolina and specifically with Section VII of the referenced standards. Water quality sampling will be conducted prior to construction and twice a year throughout the monitoring period. Sampling will include measurements of pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity. Biological and nutrient monitoring will also be monitored in an effort to show a reduction in coliforms and nutrients. Each tributary longer than 500 feet will be sampled at two locations, one near the upstream and one near the downstream end of the reach. Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O. Drawer 870 ▪ Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 ▪ Fax (252) 491-8146 ______________________________________ 15 Water quality sampling will be conducted during normal flow conditions 48 hours or longer after any precipitation event totaling one inch or greater as determined by nearby weather stations or on-site rain gauges. Macroinvertebrate sampling will be conducted post construction once a year during monitoring years three, five, and seven. Sampling will be conducted on tributaries greater than 1000 feet in length. Sampling points will be located on riffles with the first point located on the lowest riffle of the tributary. A reference location will be sampled for comparison and will be located in an on-site preservation reach or be identified nearby the project area. All samples will be collected in accordance with the Qual 4 protocol described in Standard Operation Procedures for Collection and Analysis of Benthic Macroinvertebrates by a qualified professional. Water quality and macroinvertebrate sampling will be conducted during the same time of year and within the index period specified in the NC DWR Small Streams Biocriteria Development document (May 29, 2009). Samples will be identified to the lowest practical taxonomic level by a NC DWR certified laboratory for macroinvertebrates. 5.0 BANK OPERATION The subject property is currently owned by Camp Grier 501(c)(3) and the project area is not encumbered by a conservation easement. A conservation easement does exist on Camp Grier Property to the west of the project area (Exhibit A-Sheet 1). The existing conservation easement in combination with the proposed CGMB conservation easement will protect all jurisdictional waters on the 620-acre parcel with the exception of Camp Grier Lake. Camp Grier will serve as the legal entity and Bank Sponsor for the purposes of the CGMB project. Camp Grier, the Town of Old Fort, USDI and the USDA are the only entities that have any control of streams, wetlands, and infrastructure affecting the hydrology of the site. The CGMB project team, consists of licensed geologists, professional engineers, planners, and surveyors who have extensive experience in water resource and riparian restoration projects. In addition, the Sponsor employs staff that hold degrees in and have professional experience with business, finance, law ecology, forestry, and natural resource management. Together, the project team possesses the necessary credentials to execute the proposed project such that it meets the goals that will be further outlined in the MBI and Mitigation Plan for the project. A Statement of Qualifications and Description of Project Duties is included as Exhibit C. Some of the site evaluations (e.g. soil survey, stream and wetland delineations, and conceptual planning and design) have been completed for the site. However, a more detailed stream assessment, additional survey, design, and engineering work will be necessary for the development of the Mitigation Plan. The MBI will also be developed and submitted prior to completion of the Mitigation Plan and project construction. Upon acceptance of the final Mitigation Plan by the IRT, the Bank Sponsor will initiate proposed construction activities for the development of the CGMB site. Mitigation bank credits are proposed to be calculated using the following ratios: Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O. Drawer 870 ▪ Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Telephone (252) 491-8147 ▪ Fax (252) 491-8146 ______________________________________ 16 Mitigation Type Unit Unit of Treatment:Credits Stream Restoration feet 1:1 Wetland Restoration/Creation 0.25 acre 1:1 Stream Enhancement (Level I) feet 2.5:1 Stream Enhancement (Level II) feet 3.5:1-4:1 Stream Preservation feet 7:1 Mitigation credits generated by CGMB will be used to offset wetland and stream impacts authorized by federal permits or state water quality certifications that are in compliance with the Clean Water Act, Section 404 (b)(1) guidelines and other applicable federal and state legislation, regulations, and policies. Prior to release of CGMB credits, the following requirements will be met: (1) approval of the final Mitigation Plan and execution of the MBI; (2) securing the bank site; and (3) establishment of appropriate financial assurances. Assuming the proposed ratios for stream and wetland: restoration, enhancement, and preservation are accepted, and without considering BCF adjustments to credit generation, it is estimated that approximately 6,129 stream credits and 1.1 wetland credits will be generated through the establishment of the Camp Grier Mitigation Bank (Exhibit H). It is assumed that the Bank Sponsor may choose to initiate construction of the project in two separate phases if market demand is deemed to be insufficient during the initial stages of development. A tentative Schedule for establishment of the bank site is outlined below. Upon execution of the MBI, a conservation easement deed for the site will be conveyed to an appropriate public land trust organization. The terms and conditions of the conservation easement will ensure the protection of the site in perpetuity. The ownership of the Bank will reside with the Sponsor until completion of the debiting of the Bank. The holder of the conservation easement will be responsible for long-term protection and management of the site. The easement will prohibit any activities (e.g. timbering, farming, building, etc.) that would alter the environmental state of the Bank site. Conditions of the easement are proposed to not restrict passive recreational, educational, and/or research activities. The Bank Sponsor will be responsible for securing appropriate financial assurances in the form of construction, monitoring, and maintenance bonds to cover contingency measures in the event of Bank default or failure. Performance monitoring will be conducted for a 7- year period subsequent to project construction. Annual monitoring will evaluate the development of stream function and document site performance relative to established success criteria. In addition, monitoring activities will identify any site deficiencies that may warrant remedial action. Monitoring reports documenting site success and/or failure will be submitted to the IRT each year. Upon submittal of annual monitoring reports demonstrating the fulfillment of site success criteria, stream credits will be released according to an approved credit release schedule. The table below outlines proposed information on project timeline and credit release schedule. Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O.

Procedures will include the generation of a debit report by the sponsor documenting all credits used at the time they are debited from the bank. Debit reports will be provided to each member of the IRT within 30 days of the date of credit sale. In addition, the Sponsor will prepare an Annual Report to be provided to each IRT member within thirty (30) days of each anniversary of the date of execution of the MBI, showing all credits used and the balance of credits remaining. The Sponsor's reporting obligations will end upon the sale of all credits or termination of the MBI, whichever event first occurs. Camp Grier Mitigation Bank Prospectus September 19, 2018 P.O.

Successful implementation of the CGMB will provide stream and wetland mitigation credits that will offset wetland and stream impacts authorized by federal permits or state water quality certifications that are in compliance with the Clean Water Act, Section 404 (b)(1) guidelines and other applicable federal and state legislation, regulations, and policies. Bank success will be realized through: • Stabilization and restoration of streams and streambanks • Restoration of wide riparian corridors within the project area • Implementation of an engineered holistic Stormwater Management Plan and installation of Stormwater Control Measures for the entire developed area of the property • Stewardship of the land by an accredited Land Trust or Conservancy 8.0 SOURCES OF INFORMATION • Ecoregions Map of North Carolina (Griffith, G.E., Omernik, J.M., Comstock, J.A., Schafale, M.P., McNab, W.H., Lenat, D.R., and MacPherson, T.F., 2002, Ecoregions of North Carolina, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Corvallis, OR, (map scale 1:1,500,000)) • CLASSIFICATION OF THE NATURAL COMMUNITIES OF NORTH CAROLINA THIRD APPROXIMATION (Schafale, M.P. and A.S.

Exhibit D-NRCS-Soil Report United States Department of Agriculture A product of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local participants Custom Soil Resource Report for McDowell County, North CarolinaNatural Resources Conservation Service September 13, 2017 Preface Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/? cid=nrcs142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey URL: Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic Custom Soil Resource Report 8 class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. Custom Soil Resource Report 9 An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
