1.0Introduction
1.1Parcel Location
Restoration Systems (Sponsor) is pleased to provide this Bank Parcel Development Plan for the Pancho
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 Quality. 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 over the entire Neuse
River Basin, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 6-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 030202, per
15A NCAC 02B .0242 (Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy: Mitigation
Program for Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Buffers). Mitigation credits for Nutrient
Offset are made available within the Neuse River Basin USGS 8-digit HUC 03020201 excluding the Falls
Lake Drainage Basin. Supporting figures are located in Appendix A.
Parcel construction activates were concluded in early April of 2013. An onsite determination for
applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) was conducted in June
2013 (Appendix B). The Sponsor currently owns the property in fee simple and has placed a Conservation
Easement in perpetuity over the Parcel, attached as Appendix C. This Parcel was designed and
implemented in concurrence with the Pancho Steam & Wetland Mitigation Bank (Corps Action ID #
SAW-2010-00142), Approved by the Interagency Review Team on April 12, 2012 (Appendix E).
The Pancho Bank Parcel is located approximately 13 miles west of Goldsboro in western Wayne County;
north of U.S. Highway 13 near the intersection of State Road 1008 (Stevens Mill Road) and State Road
1105 (Dobbersville 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 03020201150050 of the South
Atlantic/Gulf Region (North Carolina Division of Water Quality \[NCDWQ\] Subbasin Number 03-04-04)

The Parcel is located where Kennedy Mill Branch crosses Stevens Mill Road
-Latitude: 35.333755° N, Longitude: -78.192699° W
1.2Parcel Overview
The Parcel encompasses approximately 65.62 acres of land located along Kennedy Mill Branch at the
confluence with Mill Creek. According to the Final Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan
(NCDWQ 2009), the lack of buffer and heavy agricultural practices along Kennedy Mill 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
Kennedy Mill 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.
Pancho Bank Parcel Development Plan pg. 1

The entire Parcel is currently protected by a permanent Conservation Easement (Appendix C). Of the
65.62 acre Parcel, 14.84 acres of riparian area was restored through the establishment of native hardwood
vegetation to generate Neuse riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation credits. Neuse riparian buffer
and nutrient offset mitigation credits will not be generated within areas generating compensatory wetland
mitigation credits through the Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank.
Construction activities involved with the Pancho Steam & Wetland Mitigation Bank were concluded in
April of 2013. Primary activities designed to restore the stream channels include 1) belt-width preparation
and grading, 2) channel excavation, 3) installation of channel plugs, 4) backfilling of the abandoned
channel, and 5) vegetative planting. Wetland restoration focused on the removal of fill materials,
restoration of vegetative communities, filling drainage ditches, the reestablishment of soil structure and
microtopographic variations, and redirecting normal surface hydrology from ditches back to Site
floodplains. Riparian area restoration consisted of re-establishing deep-rooted native riparian vegetation.
Prior to construction activities the Parcel encompassed agricultural land utilized for livestock grazing, row
crop production, and forest. Pasture areas were accessible to livestock and were routinely cleared and
mowed for hay production, resulting in local disturbances to stream banks and wetland soil surfaces.
Additional land use practices including the maintenance and removal of riparian vegetation; ditching of
adjacent riparian wetlands; and relocation, dredging, and channelization of onsite streams resulting in
degraded water quality and excessive sedimentation resulting from unstable banks (stream entrenchment,
erosion, and bank collapse). Figure 4, Appendix A graphically displays pre-construction conditions. Staff
from the Division of Water Resources (DWR) visited the Site in June 2013 and determined the Site to be
viable for Neuse riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation. Livestock is no longer present on the
Parcel.
Adjacent land use is currently characterized by pasture land for hay production and livestock grazing.
Prior to construction activities adjacent landowners installed and will be responsible for the maintenance
of fencing to protect from livestock trespassing and damage to Parcel assets. Figures 5a and 5b indicate
the areas where fencing was installed.
2.0Project Area – Existing Conditions
2.1Physiography
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 03-04-06) 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 100 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) on slopes to a low of approximately 75 feet
NGVD at the lowest point of the Parcel (USGS Grantham, North Carolina 7.5-minute topographic
quadrangle)
The Parcel provides water quality functions to a nearly 3.3-square mile watershed at the outfall of
Kennedy Mill Branch. The watershed is dominated by pasture, agricultural land, forest, and sparse
residential property. Impervious surfaces account for less than 5 percent of the upstream watershed land
surface. Surrounding area land use is primarily agricultural, with some low-density residential housing.
Onsite land use was characterized by hardwood forest, agricultural land (row crop production), and
Pancho Bank Parcel Development Plan pg. 2

pasture (livestock). Riparian zones and wetland areas were primarily composed of herbaceous vegetation
with sparse hardwood canopy species along the streams. Riparian vegetation adjacent to restoration and
enhancement reaches of the Parcel was sparse and disturbed due to livestock grazing, bush hogging, and
regular maintenance activities.
2.2Soils
Based on county soil survey mapping (USDA 1974), the Parcel contains seven soil series: Bibb sandy
loam (Typic Fluvaquent), Chewacla loam (Fluvaquentic Dystrudepts), Kalmia loamy sand (Typic
Hapludults), Kenansville loamy sand (Arenic Hapludults), Johnston loam (Cumulic Humaquepts),
Norfolk loamy sand (Typic Paleudults), and Wagram loamy sand (Arenic Kandiudults). Parcel soils are
described in Table 1 below.

2.3Vegetation
The Parcel was characterized primarily by agricultural and pasture land with mature disturbed hardwood
forests. Agricultural land was dispersed along the margins of riparian zones in the northern half of the
Parcel. Disturbed hardwood forest occupied the southern portion of the Parcel. Pasture dominated the
majority of the Parcel and consisted primarily of fescue (Festuca sp.), crabgrass (Digitaria sp.), dog fennel
(Eupatorium capillifolium), rushes (Juncus sp.), and sedges (Carex sp.). Disturbed hardwood forest are
characterized by mesic, 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). Wetlands are dominated by emergent vegetation such as
rushes, sedges, polygonum (Polygonum sp.), and meadow beauty (Rhexia sp.). Staff from DWR
confirmed the Parcel was suitable for riparian restoration throughout.

2.4Threatened and Endangered Species
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.C 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. Habitat for red-
cockaded woodpecker and bald eagle is 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 the table below.

Proposed mitigation activities will result in positive benefits for these species through improved habitat
and water quality.
2.5Environmental & Cultural Constraints
The presence of conditions or characteristics that had the potential to hinder restoration activities on the
Parcel was evaluated. 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. Existing information regarding constraints was acquired and
reviewed. In addition, any parcel conditions that had the potential to restrict design and implementation
were documented during the field investigation.
No evidence of natural and/or man-made conditions were identified which had the potential to impede
proposed restoration activities. Correspondence with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
concluded that there were no dwellings that fell under the ‘National Register of Historic Place,’ nor were
there any documented archaeological sites found within the contact of the Parcel. Correspondence
between RS and SHPO is provided in Appendix D. The mitigation will have no impacts to any cultural
resources.
3.0Restoration Plan
Restoration of riparian areas was accomplished in conjuncture with the goals and methods outlined by the
Pancho Stream Mitigation Bank. The primary goals associated with the restoration of riparian areas
focused on improving water quality, enhancing flood attenuation, and restoring wildlife habitat through
the creation of a forested riparian buffer adjacent to stream channels, and was accomplished by the
following.
1.Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural production including a)
removing livestock and b) ceasing the broadcast application of fertilizer, pesticides, and other
agricultural materials into and adjacent to Site streams through treatment of runoff within the
forested buffer.
2.Reducing sedimentation within onsite and downstream receiving waters by a) reducing bank
erosion, vegetation maintenance, plowing, and hoof shear adjacent to Site streams, and b)
removing livestock from the Site.
Pancho Bank Parcel Development Plan pg. 5

3.Promoting floodwater attenuation by increasing frictional resistance on 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 reestablishing natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional
continuity.
7.Protecting the Sites full potential of stream, wetland and riparian buffer functions and values in
perpetuity.
3.1Riparian Area Restoration Activates
Restoration of floodplain forest and stream-side habitat will allow for development and expansion of
characteristic species across the landscape. Eco-tonal changes between community types contribute to
diversity and provide secondary benefits, such as enhanced feeding and nesting opportunities for
mammals, birds, amphibians and other wildlife. Stream-side trees include species with high value for
sediment stabilization, rapid growth rate, and the ability to withstand hydraulic forces associated with
bankfull flow and overbank flood events. Stream-side trees were planted along the reconstructed stream
banks, concentrated along outer bends.
Vegetative species composition mimicked reference forest data, onsite observations, and community
descriptions from Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley
1990). Community associations utilized include 1) Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest on slopes, 2) Coastal
Plain Bottomland Hardwoods (brownwater subtype) in wetlands that are intermittently to seasonally
inundated for long periods (NCWAM Bottomland Hardwood Forest and Headwater Forest), and 3)
stream-side assemblage within 15 feet of stream banks. Plant species and the implemented planting plan
was developed and preapproved by the Interagency Review Team (IRT) during the development of the
Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank.
Deep-rooted, riparian vegetation was restored over 49 acres of the Parcel in late April. Bare-root
seedlings of tree species within the Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest and Coastal Plain Bottomland
Hardwoods (brownwater subtype) were planted at a density of approximately 900 stems per acre on 8-
foot centers. The table below summarizes planted tree species. Table 3 on the next page summarizes the
planted species.

4.0Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
4.1Monitoring Protocol
Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation will monitor plant survival and species diversity.
Quantitative sampling of vegetation will be performed through sixteen (16) 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
st
occur between late August and October of each year, with the 1 monitoring data to be collected in the
fall of 2013 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
st
submit to NCDWQ an annual monitoring report, no later than December 31 of each year. Detailed
qualitative and quantitative monitoring is proposed for vegetated riparian areas; marsh treatment areas
will be visually inspected periodically and reported qualitatively within the annual monitor report, which
will 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.
4.2Parcel Maintenance
A remedial action plan will be developed and implemented with the approval of NCDWQ 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.
4.3Long Term Management Plan
The Sponsor currently holds a Conservation Easement on the Parcel Site which was approved by the IRT
in conjunction with the establishment of the Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank. The
Conservation Easement and appropriate title insurance documents are attached as Appendix B. The
Conservation Easement is perpetual, preserves all natural areas, and prohibits 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 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.
5.0Financial Assurance
As stated in the Restoration Systems Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Mitigation
th
Umbrella Banking Instrument Dated March 17 2008. “Following approval of the BPDP, Restoration
Systems, LLC shall provide a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated on less than an ‘A’ as rated by
A.M. best. 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 time 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.”
Pancho Bank Parcel Development Plan pg. 8

6.0Mitigation 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.
The Parcel will generate 14.84 acres of restored riparian area. 11.34 acres will be used specifically for
nutrient offset credit generating 25,776.04 lbs. of nitrogen offset credit. Restoration of the Neuse riparian
buffer will generate 3.50 (152,460 sq. ft.) of Neuse riparian buffer credits. The mitigation provided in the
Neuse riparian buffer can be used for either Neuse riparian buffer credits of nutrient offset credits, but not
both. RS must request and receive approval of the transfer of any mitigation credits from DWR. All
mitigation credit assets shall be shown on the credit ledgers. Table 4 summarizes the Parcel’s components
and mitigation credits.
