4.0 Monitoring, Maintenance Plan and Re ortin
The Bank Site will be monitored for 5 consecutive years or until the required success criteria has
been met as determined by DWQ. Monitoring Year 1 field exercises will begin during fall of
2012. Supplemental planting and additional site modifications will be implemented, if
necessary, after a determination has been made regarding the success of the project following
each monitoring year. Monitoring activities will follow the terms and conditions of the Cape
Fear Basin Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Mitigation Umbrella Bank made and entered into by
EBX -EM and DWQ.
The nine (9) vegetative monitoring plots will be monitored in general accordance with the CVS-
EEP Protocol for Recording Ve eg tation. A monitoring report will be submitted annually to
DWQ no later than December 31 of each monitoring year describing the conditions of the Bank
Site and relating those conditions to the success criteria.
The target density for the riparian buffer is a minimum of 320 trees per acre at the end of the five
(5) year monitoring period. Vegetation monitoring will occur between August and October. A
determination will be made regarding the success of the project following the collection and
evaluation of ecological and physical monitoring data, photographs, and site observations.
5.0 Nutrient Offset Mitigation
The Bank Site will provide nutrient offset mitigation credits for development impacts within the
B. Everett Jordan Lake watershed, more specifically within the Upper New Hope Arm of the
watershed. Of the 13.73 acres (597,980 square feet) conservation easement (Figures 2A -2D),
10.18 acres (443,247 square feet) will be dedicated to nutrient offset restoration. The Bank Site
will provide nutrient offset credits for nitrogen and phosphorus (currently based on 2,273.02 lbs
of nitrogen/ac and 146.4 lbs of phosphorus /ac of riparian restoration). Based on the 10.18 acres
restoration area, the Bank Site will provide 23,129.23 pounds of generated nitrogen offset credit
and 1,489.70 pounds of generated phosphorus offset credit. Delivery factors for the Bank Site
are the following: 40% N, 19% P.
