Caraway Creek Mitigation Site - HUC 03020201
Draft Prospectus
Project Description
The Caraway Creek Mitigation Site ( "Site') is proposed as an addition to Wildlands Engineering's ('Bank
Sponsor ") WEI — Buck Swamp Umbrella Mitigation Bank ('Bank "). The Site shall be planned and
designed encompassing land along the Neuse River, Caraway Creek, and its tributaries in Wayne County,
INC. The purpose of the Bank is to create nutrient and riparian buffer mitigation credits to compensate
for development requiring nutrient offset and riparian buffer payments within the established service
area.
The proposed Site, located in central Wayne County (Figure 1), consists primarily of open agricultural
fields currently in row crop production that encroach upon the streams leaving little to no riparian
buffers. The Site is in a rural watershed within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201) and within sub -
basin 03- 04 -12. Tributaries on Site flow into Caraway Creek, which connects to the Neuse River within
the project area. Both Caraway Creek and the Neuse River are classified as Class C, Nutrient Sensitive
Waters.
Proposed mitigation activities on Site include buffer preservation and restoration, including that use for
nutrient offsets, to be completed in two phases as illustrated in Figure 3. Phase 1 includes 4.82 acres of
preservation, 3.88 acres of buffer restoration and 27.34 acres of nutrient offsets. Phase 2 includes 7.42
acres of buffer preservation, 10.96 acres of buffer restoration, and 8.25 acres of nutrient offset. Per
mitigation guidelines, restoration activities within the first 100ft of buffer are proposed for riparian
buffer credits and any additional width is proposed for nutrient offset credits. No credits will be
requested for the buffer preservation areas.
The Bank Sponsor has procured an option to purchase conservation easements on all parcels where
riparian buffer mitigation activities are being proposed. Upon completion of the review process of the
site prospectus, the Bank Sponsor will submit a detailed Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP). Once
the final BPDP is approved the Bank Sponsor will record a conservation easement on the bank site.
The use of credits from the Bank to offset development requiring nutrient offset and riparian buffer
payments will be consistent with the rules adopted by the Environmental Management Commission and
all other applicable authorities. Prior to the release of credits, the following requirements will be met:
NCDENR approval of the BPDP, recordation of the conservation easement, and establishment of the
appropriate financial assurances.
Bank Sponsor Information
The Bank Sponsor, Wildlands Engineering, is a multidisciplinary group of professionals that bring
together the expertise necessary to create outstanding ecological restoration projects in a timely and
cost effective manner. To execute riparian buffer mitigation projects, Wildlands assembles a team of
project- specific subcontractors to perform surveying, construction services, and planting. Each of these
subcontractors has substantial experience in stream and buffer restoration in North Carolina and a
substantial full time professional staff presence in North Carolina.
