The purpose of the Bank Parcel is to improve water quality through the restoration of riparian and non- riparian buffers as proposed in the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) (GV, 2009) and supporting documentation. The Flat Swamp watershed has been extensively impacted by clearing, ditching, ongoing agricultural practices and road building over the past 100 years. These activities have obliterated many of the historical stream and wetland systems, including the riparian and non- riparian wetlands, as well as small coastal plain zero, first and second order streams that once flowed to the Neuse River. The site is in the upper reaches of the Flat Swamp Creek watershed and therefore has a large influence on the water quality and habitat in Flat Swamp Creek, Core Creek, and ultimately the Neuse River. The primary objective is to establish Nutrient Offset and Neuse Buffer credits, provide mitigation for Neuse Buffer and Neuse Nutrient offset payments within the Neuse River Basin, and/or to sell resulting credits to third parties public or private. The FSB is located in the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) sub-basin 03-04-08 of the Neuse River Basin. More specifically, the site is located within US Geologic Survey (USGS) 8-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03020202 and 14- digit HUC 03020202080020. Flat Swamp creek originates approximately 3.2 miles southwest of Fort Barnwell and 4.5 miles northeast of Dover in Craven County, North Carolina. As of the end of the fourth growing season (November, 2013) for the Flat Swamp Neuse and Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Project, annual monitoring is complete of the nearly 250K bare root tree seedlings planted on a ~7x10 spacing (~622 trees/ac) consisting of character species proposed in the BPDP (2009). The fifth (5) growing season has resulted in continued rapid growth th of a healthy and vigorous stand of character trees. According to fifth (5) year vegetation plot data th from thirty eight (38) one (1)-are plots tree survival is between 13 and 22 trees/1-are equating to 526 to 891 trees/ac (79-100% survival). Annual vegetation monitoring was completed on October 23-26, 2013. The average survival for all character trees ~687 trees/ac. And the average diameter (DBH) and height is 5.1 cm (2.0 in) and 433.7 cm (14.2 ft) respectively across all character species. The project target goal is 320 trees/ac at the end of 5 years and therefore the project has met success criteria again for the fifth (5) monitoring year within each plot and overall. First, second, third, th fourth, and fifth year vegetation data shows there has been significant leaf and stem growth establishing that the buffer restoration was successful during the critical period following construction and after the second year during heavy competition from herbaceous plants. In addition, precipitation in 2013 contributed to exceptional growth for the fifth and final year of vegetation monitoring. i Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank GreenVest/Flat Swamp, LLC Neuse & Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Parcel Annual Monitoring Report Year 5 - 2013 Table of Contents ........................................................................................................... i Executive Summary ............................................................................................................ 1 1.0Introduction ............................................................... 4 2.0Vegetation Maintenance & Monitoring ............................................................................ 4 2.1.1Vegetation Success Criteria ............................................................................................... 6 2.1.2Vegetation Data ............................................................................................................. 6 3.0Conclusions .................................................................................................................. 10 4.0 References ................................................... 11 Appendix A Ï Vegetation Plot Photos (Year 5: 2013) ................................................................... 22 Appendix B Ï Bank Credit/Debit Ledgers List of Figures Figure 1: Site Location Map (USGS) .............................................................................. 3 Figure 2: Monitoring Plot Locations ............................................................................... 5 List of Tables Table 1: As-Built Vegetative Communities by Zone for the Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank ........................................................................................................................... 2 Table 2: Summary of Vegetation Plot Data by Species (Year 5: 2013) ....................... 8 Table 3: Vegetation Monitoring Data (2013) .................................................................. 9 ii Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank GreenVest/Flat Swamp, LLC Neuse & Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Parcel Annual Monitoring Report Year 5 - 2013 1.0 Introduction The Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank Neuse and Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Parcel fifth (5) year th maintenance and monitoring report (2013) is complete. Annual site vegetation monitoring was completed on October 23-26, 2013. The purpose of the Bank Parcel is to improve water quality through the restoration of riparian and non-riparian buffers as proposed in the Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank Parcel Development Package (GV, 2009) and supporting documentation. The Bank Parcel is located in North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) sub-basin 03-04-08 of the Neuse River Basin. More specifically, the site is located within US Geologic Survey (USGS) 8-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03020202 and 14-digit HUC 03020202080020. Flat Swamp creek originates approximately 3.2 miles southwest of Fort Barnwell and 4.5 miles northeast of Dover in Craven County, North Carolina. Flat Swamp Creek is a tributary of the Neuse River and flows east from the site intersecting Core Creek before emptying into the south side of the Neuse River. The FSB is located in the headwaters of Flat Swamp Creek (Latitude 35 degrees 15 minutes 10.96 seconds N and Longitude 77 degrees 22 minutes 04.05 seconds E). The site is bounded by Dover Fort Barnwell Road (SR 1262) to the north and west, Jonestown Road (SR 1258) and Camp Oak Road (SR 1261) to the east, and Dover Bay to the south (Appendix I: Figure 1). The Flat Swamp Creek watershed has been extensively impacted by clearing, ditching, ongoing agricultural practices and road building over the past 100 years. These activities have obliterated many of the historical stream and wetland systems, including the riparian and non-riparian wetlands, as well as small coastal plain zero, first and second order streams that once flowed to the Neuse River. The site is in the upper reaches of the Flat Swamp Creek watershed and therefore has a large influence on the water quality and habitat in Flat Swamp Creek, Core Creek, and ultimately the Neuse River. The primary objective is to establish Nutrient Offset and Neuse Buffer credits, provide mitigation for Neuse Buffer and Neuse Nutrient offset payments within the Neuse River Basin, and/or to sell resulting credits to third parties public or private. As constructed the Bank Parcel will provide 20.76 acres Neuse Buffer restoration and 335.88 acres of Nutrient Offset Buffer restoration. A Bank Parcel Development Package (GreenVest, 2009) and Neuse River Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Banking Instrument were completed and executed by NCDWQ for the Bank Parcel in 2009. The Mitigation Banking Instrument and an As-Built Report was amended and approved in 2012. Riparian headwater system improvement is accomplished through the restoration of forested buffers along jurisdictional streams and watercourses draining to jurisdictional streams. Restoration of the riparian and non-riparian areas using strategic vegetation planting practices provides stream bank stability, stream shading, water quality improvements through nutrient uptake and sediment filtering, as well as providing wildlife habitat. These riparian buffers will be restored by planting appropriate native species of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation in zones specific to landscape position, topography and hydrology. As of the end of the fifth (5) growing season (October, 2013) for the Flat Swamp Neuse and th Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Project, annual monitoring is complete of the nearly 250K planted bare root tree seedlings on a ~7x10 spacing (~622 trees/ac) consisting of character species proposed in the BPDP (GreenVest, 2009). The fifth (5) growing season has resulted in a healthy th and vigorous stand of character trees. Species planted are seen in Table 1 below. 1 Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank GreenVest/Flat Swamp, LLC Neuse & Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Parcel Annual Monitoring Report Year 5 - 2013 Table 1: As-Built Vegetative Communities by Zone for the Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank Craven County Recommended Plant Species (Character Trees) Planting Zone Area Zone Zone (Acres) Description Scientific NameCommon Name Cephalanthus occidentalis Buttonbush Included in Stream/Ditch Fraxinus pennsylvanica Green ash 1Zone 2 Bank Cornus amomum Silky dogwood acreage Nyssa sylvatica Swamp Blackgum Taxodium distichum Bald cypress Quercus shumardii Shumard oak Quercus bicolor Swamp white oak Quercus lyrata Overcup oak Neuse River Quercus laurifolia Laurel oak Buffer 2 20.76 acres Fraxinus pennsylvanica Green ash (Riparian) Quercus michauxiiSwamp chestnut oak (<51 ft.)

Monitoring of vegetation will occur for a minimum of five (5) years following the first full growing season, describing the conditions of each Bank parcel and relating those conditions to the success criteria. Reports will be submitted annually to the Division of Water Quality and shall contain the following: 1)A U.S. Geological Survey map showing the location of the Bank; 2)A detailed narrative summarizing the condition of the Bank and all regular maintenance activities; 3)Appropriate topographic maps showing location of sampling plots, permanent photo points, location of transects, etc.; 4)Monitoring data, including specific vegetative counts and photographs; and 5)A copy of the Bank credit/debit ledger Stem counts will be conducted within strategically placed 10m x 10m plots (.0247 ac). When choosing the location for each plot, the primary goal will be to obtain a representative sample of the entire area of disturbance. Therefore, plots will be scattered throughout the project and will attempt to capture all habitat and vegetation density variations. The quantity of monitoring plots was determined in accordance with The Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (Levels I & II), such that no more than two (2) percent of any one Parcel is encompassed in monitoring plots. This analysis equated to thirty-eight (38) monitoring plots distributed across the 356.75 acre buffer restoration area (Figure 2). 2.1.1 Vegetation Success Criteria Vegetation success will be based on tree survivability over a five year monitoring period. Success will be measured by density and growth of character tree species as defined by the Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration prepared by the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program. "Character Trees" are defined as planted or volunteer species identified from a survey of local vegetation on less degraded sections of the specified reference site and from reference literature such as Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley, 1990) that details native species. ÑCharacteristic Tree SpeciesÒ include, but is not limited, to species listed in Table 1. Survivability will be based on achieving at least 320 stems (Character Trees) per acre after five years. Planted species must account for a minimum of 30 percent of the above densities.Natural regeneration of species from adjacent forested communities will occur and can be counted in the overall stem counts provided they are native hardwood tree or Character Tree species. A survey of vegetation at the end of each yearÔs growing season (October/November) will be conducted annually over the five year monitoring period in order to verify survivability of the installed plantings. This survey will track the total mortality on an annual basis and be used to calculate survivability at the end of five years. Baseline data was collected for the planted vegetation following installation and routine site inspections were performed throughout the first growing season in 2009. This was completed to insure planted trees were growing well with minimal competition and/or destructive predation. Periodic inspections will continue throughout the monitoring period to insure restoration success. 4 Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank GreenVest/Flat Swamp, LLC Neuse & Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Parcel Annual Monitoring Report Year 5 - 2013 Figure 2: Monitoring Plot Locations 5 Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank GreenVest/Flat Swamp, LLC Neuse & Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Parcel Annual Monitoring Report Year 5 - 2013 Survivability of less than 320 stems per acre at the end of the five year monitoring period may require the installation of additional plantings as replacement for the mortality as approved by NCDWQ. Additionally, visual observations of herbaceous cover and/or competition, invasive species, and herbivore predation will occur during the maintenance and monitoring period of the project and corrective measures to address mortality problems will be implemented as approved by NCDWQ. Visual observations are recorded via permanent photo locations located at each vegetation plot origin and are included in Appendix A. 2.1.2 Vegetation Data ) year vegetation plot data from thirty eight (38) one (1)-are plots tree survival According to fifth (5 th is between 13 and 22 trees/1-are equating to 526 to 891 trees/ac (72-100% survival) (Table 2 & 3). Annual vegetation monitoring was completed on October 23-26, 2013. The project target goal is 320 trees/ac. at the end of 5 years and therefore the project has met success criteria for the fourth monitoring year within each plot and overall. First, second, third, fourth, and fifth year vegetation data shows there has been significant leaf and stem growth establishing that the buffer restoration was successful during the critical period following construction and after the second and third year during heavy competition from herbaceous plants. In addition, precipitation in 2013 contributed to exceptional growth for the fifth and final year of vegetation monitoring. 3.0Conclusions The Flat Swamp Neuse and Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Project is on a successful trajectory ) year annual vegetation maintenance and monitoring report findings. Average following the fifth (5 th tree density for the entire project is ~ 687 trees/ac. Vegetation data in Table 3 show vigorous ) year in both height and basal diameter indicative of excellent growing growth during the fifth (5 th conditions and maintenance of planted trees. The average diameter (DBH) and height is 5.1 cm (2.0 in) and 433.7.4 cm (14.2 ft) respectively across all character species. The largest tree recorded in a monitoring plot was a willow oak measuring 24 ft in height and over 4 in DBH. During the winter of 2012, additional trees were planted in areas noted as lacking sufficient stem density during a site visit with DWQ in March of 2012. These areas were located in the southern portion of the property where deer browsing damage is the most prevalent. One species in particular, swamp blackgum, is more susceptible to deer browsing damage and areas affected contained primarily swamp blackgum. These areas along with other areas noted needing additional stems were supplementally planted with a variety of oaks and other species that were part of the originally planting plan in the BPDP. Trees planted included overcup oak, Shumard oak, swamp chestnut oak, bald cypress, and silky dogwood. Longleaf pine was also planted along the high ridge at the north side of the southern portion of the project to fill in some bare spots. During the fall of 2012, this ridge was also blocked off with a barricade to continue to protect the area from vehicular traffic. Post planting monitoring revealed heavy predation on planted stems in the selected areas supplementally planted. Most damage occurred due to rabbits and other field rodents, however deer and wild hogs also damaged planted stems. During the vegetation monitoring in October, some stems were found surviving alongside other regenerating trees such as baccharis, sweet bay, red maple, sweetgum, and longleaf pine. Although these areas continue to exhibit tree densities less than surrounding areas, overall natural regeneration is high and any areas less than 320 stems/ac are the exception and not representative of the project or any of the thirty eight (38) vegetation monitoring plots distributed across the entire project area. 6 Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank GreenVest/Flat Swamp, LLC Neuse & Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Parcel Annual Monitoring Report Year 5 - 2013 No additional herbaceous control is foreseen for subsequent years. As part of the BPDP, woody invasive competition and other species competing with character trees was monitored and controlled if necessary. Deer browsing is not wide-spread considering the location of the project and population of deer. Most browsing and damage has occurred in the southern portion of the site. Deer are actively hunted on the site and browsing should not affect the long-term health of the restoration areas. During the monitoring period, no encroachment of the conservation easement was observed across the parcel. Chain barriers have been installed to keep vehicles out of the restoration areas. Continued rapid growth is expected for future growing seasons and the project is considered a successful riparian and nutrient offset buffer restoration project in the Neuse Basin at the end of the 5 year monitoring period. All project goals have been met or exceeded including tree survival, densities, growth, wildlife habitat, and canopy closure in some areas. Trees in some areas are already producing soft mast and hard mast will soon follow. This particular project is considered one of the most successful in the State and will continue to provide numerous ecological services as the forested buffers grow and mature. 7 Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank GreenVest/Flat Swamp, LLC Neuse & Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Parcel Annual Monitoring Report Year 5 - 2013 Table 2: Summary of Vegetation Plot Data by Species (Year 5: 2013) Note: Each plot totals 0.0247 acre in size Plot 7981151213141516171841920212223 Species (1) (2) (3) 10 ( 4) 6 (5)(6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) Nyssa sylvatica 6 143 1220 Quercus falcata 6 29 4 2 886 111 Quercus lyrata 37 7 5 Quercus 1 michauxii Quercus nigra 6 3 3 1 5142 7 Quercus phellos 10 4 12 1291211202 115109121268 Quercus 3 12 2 shumardii Taxodium distichum 6 Total: 16 13 18 17 18 15 22 18 21 14 20 18 17 16 18 17 18 17 17 16 Plot Total/ac: 648 526 729 688 729 607 891 729 850 567 810 729 688 648 729 688 729 688 688 648 8 Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank GreenVest/Flat Swamp, LLC Neuse & Nutrient Offset Buffer Restoration Parcel Annual Monitoring Report Year 5 - 2013 Table 2 Contd.: Summary of Vegetation Plot Data by Species (Year 5: 2013) Note: Each plot totals 0.0247 acre in size Plot Plot 1-Plot 1- 32425262728229313032134333635383738 sp.-38 sp.
