Executive Summary
Wildlands Holdings X, LLC ("Sponsor") proposes a modification request to add the Camp Creek
Mitigation Site ("Site") to the Wildlands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank). The Bank is
currently in development with the Hatch's Hill mitigation site in Wayne County (SAW-2021-01309;
NCDWR # 20211424v1). Wildlands Holdings X, LLC is managed by Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands)
and developed for the sole purpose of holding mitigation banks. This prospectus is for the second site to
be developed under the Wildlands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank, which will include
restoration of streams and wetlands along Camp Creek and its unnamed tributaries (Figure 1). The
purpose of the Bank is to provide stream and wetland mitigation credits to compensate for impacts to
Waters of the United States and/or State Waters within the service area, Hydrologic Unit 03020201
(Neuse 01), as depicted in Figure 2. The resulting conservation easement is estimated to be 24.7 acres.
1.0 Mitigation Bank Introduction and Objectives
1.1 Introduction
The Site being established under the proposed Bank is located on an active agricultural farm that
includes bordering woodlands. In addition to Camp Creek, the Site contains four unnamed tributaries to
Camp Creek that, for the purpose of this project, are referred to as Copley Branch, Ellis Branch, TLC
Branch, and T1. The Site is located in the DWR Subbasin 03-04-01. All project streams flow to Camp
Creek, which is classified as a Water Supply II Water (WS-II), a High Quality Water (HOW), and a Nutrient
Sensitive Water (NSW).
A review of historic aerials from 1937 to 2020 shows the Site streams have existed in their approximate
locations over time. Even the forested areas are virtually the same. The one exception is the area south
of Camp Creek between Range and Bahama Roads. Between 1955 and 1972, this area was cleared and
Ellis Branch was moved from the middle of the area to run along Bahama Road.
Within the project area, the streams are mostly eroding and incised. Wetlands have been degraded due
to historic channelization and channel incision. The wetlands on the site have been hydrologically
disconnected from the stream channels.
The Sponsor proposes to restore 2,900 linear feet (LF), enhance 1,020 LF, and preserve 760 LF of the site
streams. The Sponsor proposes to re-establish 9.187 wetland acres, enhance 3.499 wetland acres, and
preserve 0.134 wetland acres. This stream and wetland mitigation will include a conservation easement
area that is estimated to total 24.7 acres.
1.2 Bank Location
The proposed Bank (36.226290' N, 78.828518° W) is in northeastern Durham County approximately
eight miles northwest of Butner, NC (Figure 1, Figure 2). The site is located within the Hydrologic Unit
Code (HUC) 0300201040010 and DWR Subbasin 03-04-01. The project site drains to Knap of Reeds Creek
which drains first to Lake Butner and then to Falls Lake.
To get to the Site from Raleigh, NC take 1-40 West to 1-885 North and 1-85 North. From 1-85, take the Red
Mill Road exit. Go left on Red Mill Road and continue to end. Go right on Old Oxford Road and travel 2.6
miles before turning left on Cassam Road. At the end of Cassam Road turn left on Range Road and go 4
miles. Camp Creek flows beneath Range Road just south of Isham Chambers Road.
1.3 Goals and Objectives
The proposed Bank described above will provide numerous ecological benefits within the Neuse River
Basin. Project benefits include site specific improvements and watershed scale benefits.

2.0 Establishment and Operation of Mitigation Bank
2.1 Ownership Agreements
The Site is located on one parcel owned by two individuals, and an option agreement to record a
conservation easement for the Site has been signed by the landowner. Upon completion of the review
process for the bank prospectus, the Sponsor will submit a detailed mitigation plan and an umbrella
mitigation banking instrument (UMBI) for the site. The UMBI will provide detailed information regarding
bank operation and the long-term management of the Bank. Once the final mitigation plan is approved
and the accompanying instrument executed by members of the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the
Sponsor will record a conservation easement on the Bank.

within the service area depicted in Figure 1. This service area includes the Neuse (Hydrologic Unit
03020201) and the City of Raleigh, Falls Lake, Wake Forest, Hillsborough, Creedmoor, Rolesville, Garner,
Knightdale, Cary, Clayton, Smithfield, and portions of Durham, Morrisville, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-
Varina.
2.4 Need and Feasibility of Mitigation Bank
2.4.1 Need
RaSinwidP
The Neuse 01 River Basin, as described in the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) 2009
Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (RBWQP), is undergoing rapid population growth. Wake
County is the most populous county in the state as of 2020, growing by 25.4% between 2010 and 2020
(ncdemography.org). Johnston County grew by 27.9%, and Durham by 21.4% in that same time period.
Wake, Johnston, and Durham Counties are expected to grow by 18.4%, 25%, and 13.9% respectively (NC
Office of State Budget and Management, 2020). This increase in population increases developmental
pressures, change in land use, and the need for expanded infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) all of
which create the necessity for impacts to Waters of the United States to be mitigated for appropriately
and allow the economic growth of this region to continue while the environment and water quality
remain a priority.
The Sponsor expects Bank customers will include private enterprises and public entities with North
Carolina Division of Transportation (NCDOT) as the primary client. Figure 3 depicts the potential projects
set forth by NCDOT for fiscal years 2015-2025 within the Neuse 01 watershed. This includes
transportation projects along several state, regional, and transition highways.

Local Subbasin
The proposed Bank is located in DWR subbasin 03-04-01 and HUC 0300201040010. The Site includes
Camp Creek. Camp Creek flows into Lake Butner, which flows to Knap of Reeds Creek then Falls Lake and
eventually the Neuse River. This Site is two miles north of an existing DMS full delivery project, Dry
Creek, that was initiated in 2015. The site is also in close proximity to the Camp Butner National Guard
Training Center, which is a sizeable protected area that is considered by the NC Natural Heritage
Program to be a Managed Area.
The 2009 Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan lists major stressors in Subbasin 03-04-01 to be
total suspended solids (TSS), nutrients, and chlorophyll a. The 2010 (amended 201Neuse River Basin
Restoration Priorities (RBRP) highlights the importance of riparian buffers for stream restoration
projects. Riparian buffers retain and remove nutrients and suspended sediments. The RBRP states that
"priority [restoration] projects should increase or improve buffers." Another goal of the RBRP for the
Neuse 01 HU is to support the Falls Lake watershed plan. The Falls Lake water supply is downstream of
the Site and is classified as water supply waters (WS-IV) and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW). The RBRP
also states that a goal for the Neuse 01 CU is to, "...promote nutrient and sediment reduction in
agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers."
The Neuse River basin is also discussed in the 2005 North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission's
(NCWRC) Wildlife Action Plan (WAP). In the report, non -point source pollution including nutrient loading
and erosion from stream channelization for agriculture attributed to degraded aquatic habitats in the
basin. Additionally, fertilizers and livestock contribute 60 percent of the nitrate and phosphate found in
the Neuse River basin according to the report. This report notes the importance of stream restoration
and land protection efforts in the watershed to address the observed stressors.
The Camp Creek Mitigation Site is beneficial because of its location within the targeted local watershed
and its potential to address the goals of the Basinwide Water Quality Plan, the RBRP, and the WAP
through stream and buffer restoration, enhancement, and preservation. The proposed treatments of
streams on the Site will directly and indirectly address stressors identified in the planning documents by
creating stable stream banks, restoring meandering pattern, and restoring, enhancing, and preserving
forested riparian buffers. The project will slow surface runoff, increase retention times, provide shade to
streams, and reconnect the streams to their historic floodplains and riparian wetlands, which will reduce
sediment and nutrient loads which contribute to eutrophication of downstream waters. In addition,
restoration will provide and improve instream and terrestrial (riparian) habitats while improving stream
stability and overall hydrology.
The watershed for Camp Creek is comprised of agriculture/pasture, forestland, and developed land
(42%, 51%, and 7% respectively). The Copley Branch drainage area consists of agriculture/pasture,
forestland, and developed land (80%, 15%, and 5% respectively).
2.4.2 Feasibility
A Radius Map Report was ordered for the Bank through Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) and
obtained on May 25, 2023. The target property was not listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal
environmental databases searched by EDR. However, Camp Butner, a historic and active Department of
�. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank
W Camp Creek Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus
Page 4
Defense site is located 0.25 miles south of the target property. Wildlands will contact the Department of
Defense to determine what steps should be taken before any land clearing activities or grading are
conducted. A summary of the EDR report is included in the appendix.
The Bank is located in a rural watershed where the dominant land uses are agriculture, forest, and
residential. The site is located near Butner which could develop in the future as Durham County grows.
Future changes in land use might alter the watershed but it is likely that low density residential use
would result in minimal site hydrology changes.
Based on the preliminary existing conditions assessments performed at the Bank in 2023, Wildlands is
confident that the site has substantial potential for the development of a viable mitigation bank. The
project will provide substantial uplift to the Falls Lake watershed and the Neuse River Basin.
3.0 Ecological Suitability of Site
3.1 Bank Site Characterization
The Bank Site is currently maintained for agricultural with sparsely wooded buffers along the project
streams. In the case of Camp Creek downstream of Range Road and Copley Branch, one side of the
channels has a mature forested buffer. The majority of the Site is farmed in row crop agriculture. The
existing conditions of Bank streams are described in Section 3.1.1, existing wetlands are described in
Section 3.1.2, and existing vegetation is described in Section 3.1.3. The appendix contains stream
determination forms and stream geomorphic data. Figure 4 is a topographic map of the site, Figure 5
illustrates the existing Site conditions, and Figure 6 is a map of the project stream watersheds.
3.1.1 Existing Conditions - Streams
Camp Creek
Camp Creek flows from west to east through the Site. Reach 1 begins at
Bahama Road and ends at a relic beaver dam at Range Road. The channel
banks are steep but mostly stable above the water line. Below the water
level, which is backwatered from the dam, the banks are bare. The
stream is slightly disconnected from its floodplain. The riparian buffer is
limited to 5-10 feet in width and has a high proportion of river birch
(Betula nigra).
Reach 2 begins at Range Road as the bed elevation drops more than 4
feet from the top of the relic beaver dam to the existing bed. The stream is deeply incised through the
remainder of the Site (BHR=5.0). The banks are consistently eroding and the bedform is mostly uniform.
The substrate is primarily sand. However, the riparian buffer is very wide on the right side and at least
30 feet on the left side. The reach has been historically channelized.
Flli-; Rmnrh
Ellis Branch is a short intermittent reach that flows along Bahama Road
and enters Camp Creek just downstream from Bahama Road. While this
reach is not incised, it has been artificially located to the road fill slope
immediately adjacent to the Bahama Road right-of-way. There is
essentially no riparian buffer on Ellis Branch, with the road right-of-way
beyond the left bank and an agricultural field on the right bank.
�. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank
W Camp Creek Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus
Page 5
Just upstream from the Site, Ellis Branch is a stable, forested stream with very different characteristics.
According to aerial photographs, the channel was moved to its current location between 1955 and 1972.
Copley Branch
Copley Branch is a perennial reach that enters the Site at Isham Chambers
Road and has been channelized to its confluence with Camp Creek. The
upper reach is only slightly incised but the degree of incision generally
increases in the downstream direction. Incision is reduced in two locations
where the farmer has attempted to hold grade. Bank erosion is correlated
with the degree of incision. Bedform diversity is limited to very shallow
pools. Gravel substrate is common with large amounts of sand and lesser
cobble. In some locations the farmer has added cobble and sheet plastic to
the bed in an apparent effort to stem headcut migration. The riparian buffer
on the right bank ranges from 0 to 10 feet, while on the left bank it extends
for more than 50 feet to the property line.
T1
T1 becomes an intermittent stream just below a utility easement. Its floodplain has been manipulated
such that subtle berms are present along the channel. The berms prevent field runoff from flowing into
the channel. It also becomes incised as it approaches and enters Camp Creek.
3.1.2 Existing Wetlands
The project area east of Range Road includes approximately 3.6 acres of existing wetland in the
floodplains of Camp Creek and Copley Branch. Existing wetland areas with persistent wetland hydrology
in the floodplain of Camp Creek, while influenced to an extent by groundwater, are also driven by
overland runoff from upslope impervious surfaces, agricultural fields, and hillslopes with moderate to
steep grades. Existing wetland areas in the valley of Copley Branch have persistent wetland hydrology
related to a high groundwater table and are found in the natural topographic valley bottom where the
stream is suspected to have once flowed. A natural upland levee is present along both banks of Camp
Creek and manmade upland berms are present on both banks of Copley Branch where it has been
excavated and modified. Vegetation communities vary in these wetlands with areas dominated by
bottomland hardwood forest, dense shrub/sapling strata, or invasive species. As a whole, prevalent
invasive vegetation is the primary impairment to existing wetlands (Figure 5). Wetland areas that occur
in the western project area are small linear features resulting from historic site manipulation (Figure 5).
An additional 10.4 acres of the project area east of Range Road contains hydric soil or buried hydric soil,
but lacks contemporary wetland hydrology. Wetland hydrology of these areas has been removed by
subsurface drainage to channelized streams and placement of spoil material on hydric soils. The spoil
originated from channel excavation along Copley Branch and earthwork upslope of the valleys.
Watershed characteristics, flashy hydrology, and limited floodplain access have resulted in excessive
sedimentation and formation of a natural upland levee along Camp Creek east of Range Road. Buried
floodplain soils were observed in several locations within the project area, suggesting the presence of
former wetlands.
3.1.3 Existing Vegetation
The condition of the riparian buffer along project streams varies throughout the site. Riparian buffers
are largely absent along Ellis Branch and T1 and consist of seasonal row crops with some black willow
(Salixnigra), sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), river birch (Betula nigra), and red maple (Acer

Page 6
rubrum). Problematic native vegetation such as Carolina rose (Rosa caroliniana) and broadleaf cattail
(Typha latifolia), and exotic non-native vegetation such as Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum),
Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), were also noted. The
riparian buffer along Camp Creek west of Range Road is sparse with few canopy trees and saplings
consisting of river birch, black willow, sweetgum, and red maple. The riparian buffer on the west bank of
Copley Branch and the north bank of Camp Creek to the east of Range Road adjoin an agricultural field
and have similar vegetative communities. Row crops and native species such as red maple, sweetgum,
box elder (Acer negundo), river birch, slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), and American elm (Ulmus americana)
were noted in the canopy and understory. However, the riparian buffers were largely dominated by
common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), honeysuckle, blackberry (Rubus pensilvanicus), and Japanese
stiltgrass due to disturbance and proximity to the fields. The riparian buffer along the eastern bank of
Copley Branch and southern bank of Camp Creek consisted of bottomland hardwood forest comprised
mostly of native species including white oak (Quercus alba), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), slippery
and American elm, musclewood (Carpinus caroliniana), green ash (Fraxinus pensylvannica), tulip poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera), spicebush (Lindera benzoin), and box elder in the canopy and understory.
Chinese privet was dominant in the understory in the riparian buffers of Camp Creek and Copley Branch.
3.1.4 Soils
The floodplain areas of the proposed project are mapped by the Durham County Soil Survey as primarily
Chewacla soils (Figure 7). This complex transitions from a loam to a silty clay loam and then a clay loam
at depth. An unconsolidated bedrock layer may be found at 80 inches or deeper. This series often
contains inclusions of Wehadkee, which were identified during soil mapping exercises. Wehadkee are
listed on the National Hydric Soil list.
Much of the soils along Copley Branch are mapped as Helena Sandy Loam but are actually more similar
to the Chewacla series.

3.2 Cultural Resources and Significant Natural Heritage Areas
No sites listed on the National Register with the State Historic Preservation Office are located
immediately adjacent to or within the project area. The archaeological site files at the North Carolina
Office of State Archaeology (OSA) have not been reviewed at this time. All appropriate cultural resource
agencies will be contacted for their review and comment prior to any land disturbing activity.
Several registered Natural Heritage and Managed Areas located within one mile include the Camp
Butner National Guard Training Center, three Triangle Land Conservancy Preserves, a NC Land and
Water Fund Conservation Agreement and Project area, and two Durham County Easements.

3.3 Threatened and Endangered Species
Wildlands searched the USFWS and North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) databases to
identify federally listed threatened and endangered plant and animal species for Durham County, NC.
Table 4 details the current list of threatened and endangered species for Durham County. A cursory
pedestrian survey conducted on May 24, 2023 indicated that the project area does provide suitable
habitat for all species listed. Wildlands will conduct a full review for protected species in the mitigation
planning phase and will coordinate with USFWS and NCWRC as necessary based on that review.

3.4 Floodplain Compliance
The Site is represented on the Durham County Flood Map 3720094000M. Camp Creek and Site
tributaries are mapped in a Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) on Durham County Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 0904. A limited detailed study has been performed on Camp Creek
with base flood elevations defined and delineated floodplain. The remaining tributaries do not have
detailed hydraulic studies performed, but the downstream portions of said reaches fall within the Camp
Creek SFHA. Effective hydraulic modeling for Camp Creek will be obtained from the NC Floodplain
Mapping Program. A no -rise condition will be pursued if compatible with stream restoration and
floodplain enhancement grading. If a no -rise condition is not attainable, then a CLOMR will be prepared.
Wildlands' engineers have successfully navigated the CLOMR process for several similar mitigation
project sites. The project will be designed to avoid adverse floodplain impacts or hydrologic trespass on
adjacent properties or local roads.
3.5 Site Constraints and Access
No crossings are required on the Site property. However, an external crossing is required for the NCDOT
right-of-way for Range Road. The stream beneath the Range Road bridge will be designed to allow for
aquatic organism passage. Crossings are summarized and numbered below in Table 5 and on Figure 8.

The easement boundaries around streams proposed for mitigation credit provide the required 50-foot
minimum riparian buffer for Piedmont streams. The entire easement area can be accessed for
construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship from Isham Chambers and Range Roads. No
airports are located within 5 miles of the Site.
4.0 Mitigation Work Plan
Wildlands will begin the project by identifying the best design approach to meet the stated project
objectives and implement the appropriate degree of intervention. A combination of analog, empirical,
and analytical design approaches will potentially be used. All project resources will be designed to create
stable, functional stream channels and riparian wetlands.
4.1 Stream Restoration
All project reaches are proposed for restoration with
the exception of T1, Camp Creek Reach 1, TLC Branch,
and Copley Creek Reach 1. The restoration reaches will
be designed and built with appropriate dimension,
pattern, and profile to allow for frequent overbank
flooding, provide stable bank slopes, enable biological
lift, and reconnect streams with existing floodplains.
Reference streams will be identified and will serve as
one of the primary sources of information on which
restoration designs are based. Wildlands has developed
a general approach to be used as the basis for stream
restoration design. The design approach, which is tailored to each site, continues to develop as
additional projects are implemented.
All reaches proposed for restoration will be designed with a Priority 1 approach, raising channel beds to
reconnect them with existing floodplains. Priority 2 restoration will be required on the downstream end
of Camp Creek and Copley Branch to stably connect with existing grades. The Priority 2 length will be
minimized. Ellis Branch will be relocated to its historic alignment prior to 1972.
Stream structures will be installed to promote water quality, stabilize the bed and banks, provide
bedform diversity, and increase aquatic and terrestrial habitat. Wildlands plans to evaluate stream
substrate and determine appropriate gradations/bed features for the Site streams. At this stage,
Wildlands believes most of these channels will be built using a threshold channel approach with a
cobble -gravel substrate. Wildlands believes based on other work in this area that appropriate substrate
will be able to be harvested on -site.
4.2 Stream Enhancement I
T1 Reach 1 is slated for an Enhancement I approach. The channel has berms running along it so that
runoff from the adjacent fields cannot laterally enter the channel. The lower end is also incised. The
profile will be addressed by removing the berms and adding constructed riffles to stably drop grade to
the tie in with Camp Creek. Additionally, riparian buffer will be planted on both sides of the channel out
to the rights -of -way for Range and Bahama Roads.
�. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank
W Camp Creek Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus
Page 9
4.3 Stream Enhancement II
Camp Creek Reach 2 and Copley Branch Reach 1 are slated for an Enhancement II approach. In general,
these reaches are geomorphically stable in their current conditions and have lower bank height ratios,
low bank slopes, and a lesser degree of bank erosion than reaches slated for restoration. Camp Creek
Reach 1 will be targeted for riparian buffer planting. Copley Branch Reach 1 will have buffer planting on
the right bank, as well as spot stabilization of eroding streambank. Ell is proposed at a ratio of 4:1 for
Camp Creek and 5:1 for Copley Branch. Although the density of invasive species in these two reaches is
low, they will be treated.
4.4 Stream Preservation
TLC Branch is located in a wooded area of the Camp Creek floodplain. It is targeted for stream
preservation at a 10:1 ratio. There is a short segment where it leaves the project property and where no
stream credit is proposed.
4.5 Wetlands
Two activities will be used to improve wetland hydrology to justify wetland re-establishment in the
areas identified in Figure 8. First, and likely most relevant, the restoration of incised streams using
Priority 1 techniques will serve to effectively change the subsurface flow gradient and discharge
characteristics of the groundwater table to the receiving stream, rehydrating wetlands adjacent to the
channel. Tree planting and invasive species treatment will also occur in these areas to establish a
healthy riparian wetland buffer.
In areas that currently qualify as jurisdictional wetlands that are located adjacent to streams that are not
incised, wetland enhancement activities will occur. This will primarily include planting and invasive
species treatment. Wetland enhancement areas will also benefit from Priority 1 restoration techniques
that will raise the groundwater table and re-establish a more traditional wetland hydrology regime for
bottomland hardwood forests that is equally influenced by groundwater, flood flows, and overland flow.
The Site includes areas of wetland re-establishment and enhancement. Because some of the wetland
enhancement areas are located in forested areas, the overall credit ratio is proposed at 3:1. Additionally,
preservation of reference -quality jurisdictional wetlands is proposed at 10:1.
4.6 Vegetation Plan
Native riparian buffers will be planted along restored
and enhanced stream reaches, in all proposed wetland
restoration zones, and in all riparian restoration areas.
The ecological uplift can be summarized as transforming
an agriculturally impacted area to a protected riparian
corridor. Buffer restoration will involve planting
appropriate native tree species along the riparian
corridor. Herbaceous riparian vegetation will also be
planted, but additional herbaceous plants are expected
to re-establish naturally and through the placement of a
native seed mix in disturbed areas. Live stake shrub
species will be planted along restored streams.
Vegetation management and herbicide applications will
be needed over the first few years of tree establishment in the riparian buffer restoration areas to
prevent encroachment of invasive species. Portions of the site that have been maintained as cleared
�. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank
W Camp Creek Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus
Page 10
agricultural fields will require little site preparation other than select herbicide treatments or limited
mechanical clearing to remove undesirable underbrush prior to planting.
The planting plan will be based on an appropriate nearby reference community and past project
experience. The plan will be developed to restore appropriate strata (canopy, understory, shrub, and
herbaceous layers). Vegetation planted in restored wetland areas will be based on species identified
within appropriate reference locations and professional experience based on site conditions.
Areas with an existing wooded riparian corridor will be treated for invasive species. The Site will be
protected in perpetuity under a conservation easement and will be marked per IRT guidelines.
5.0 Determination of Mitigation Credits
The mitigation stream and wetland credit calculations were derived using the US Army Corps of
Engineers' Stream Mitigation Guidance and was based on Wildlands' conceptual design for maximum
ecological uplift. Given the existing conditions of the stream channels, wetlands, the disturbance factors,
and the constraints, management objectives for each reach have been established.
The Site will be a combination of stream restoration and enhancement level II activities. Stream
restoration is proposed at a ratio of 1:1 and enhancement level II is proposed at ratios of 2.5:1 or 3:1 as
listed below. In general, if enhancement level II areas are located within wooded areas with minimal
opportunity for vegetative uplift but cattle have access and limited stream work is required, the 3:1 ratio
is proposed. Stream preservation is proposed at a 10:1 ratio. The management objective, the mitigation
type, and proposed amount of mitigation is presented in the below in Table 6.

5.1.1 Credit Release Schedule
All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported by the as -built surveys of the
Bank. Under no circumstances shall the Bank be debited until the necessary Department of Army (DA)
authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided
�. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank
W Camp Creek Mitigation Site

Page 12
written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of
the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the IRT, will determine if performance standards
have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where
some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the
specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to
which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of project credits will follow
the Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Compensatory Mitigation in North
Carolina, dated February 9, 2013. The proposed credit release schedule is shown in Tables 8 and 9.

5.2 Initial Allocation of Released Credits
The initial allocation of released credits is defined as Bank Establishment in the 2013 Wilmington District
credit release schedule guidance document. The initial allocation can be released without prior written
approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities:
a. Execution of the UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE.
b. Approval of the final mitigation plan.
c. Recordation of the conservation easement and delivery of a title opinion acceptable to the
USACE.
d. Delivery of the financial assurances described in the mitigation plan.
e. 404 permit verification for construction of the site, if required.
5.3 Subsequent Credit Releases
All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a
determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects, a reserve
of 10% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after four bankfull events have occurred in
separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event
that less than four bankfull events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits
shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As the bank approaches milestones associated with the credit
release, Wildlands will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation
substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included
with the annual monitoring report.
6.0 Performance Standards and Monitoring Plan
The performance criteria for the Site will follow approved performance criteria presented in the October
2016 IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidance. Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be
conducted to assess the condition of the completed project. Specific performance standard components
are proposed for stream morphology, hydrology, and vegetation. The stream restoration reaches of the
project will be assigned specific performance criteria components for hydrology, vegetation, and
geomorphology. The enhancement II reaches will be assigned specific performance criteria components
for vegetation only. Performance criteria will be evaluated throughout the (up to) seven years of post -
construction monitoring. If all stream, vegetation, and hydrologic performance criteria have been
successfully met and at least four bankfull events have occurred during separate years, Wildlands may
propose to terminate stream and/or vegetation monitoring after five years with written approval from
the USACE and North Carolina Interagency Review Team (IRT). An outline of the performance criteria
components follows.
w. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank
W Camp Creek Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus Page 14
6.1 Stream Morphological Parameters and Channel Stability
Dimension
Riffle cross sections on the restoration reaches should be stable and should show little change in
bankfull area, bank height ratio, and width -to -depth ratio. Riffle cross sections should fall within the
parameters defined for channels of the appropriate stream type. If any changes do occur, these changes
will be evaluated to assess whether the stream channel is showing signs of instability. Changes in the
channel that indicate a movement toward stability or enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width -
to -depth ratio in meandering channels or an increase in pool depth. These sorts of bed changes do not
constitute a problem or indicate a need for remedial actions. If channel changes indicate a movement
toward stability, remedial action will not be taken.
In order to assess channel dimension performance,
permanent cross sections will be installed on restoration and
reaches per the IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidelines
(October 2016). Each cross section will be permanently
marked with pins to establish its location. Cross section
surveys will include points measured at all breaks in slope,
including top of bank, bankfull, edge of water, and thalweg.
Cross section and bank pin surveys (if applicable) will be
conducted in monitoring years one, two, three, five, and
seven.
Profile and Pattern
Longitudinal profile surveys will be conducted during the as -built survey but will not be conducted
during the seven-year monitoring period unless other indicators during the annual monitoring indicate a
trend toward vertical and lateral instability. If a longitudinal profile is deemed necessary, monitoring will
follow standards as described in the Stream Channel Reference Sites: An Illustrated Guide to Field
Technique (Harrelson et. al., 1994) for the necessary reaches.
Substrate
Channel substrate materials will be sampled with the pebble count method along restoration, and
enhancement I reaches. These reaches should show maintenance of coarser materials in the riffle
features and smaller particles in the pool features. A reach -wide pebble count will be performed in each
restoration reach each monitoring year for classification purposes. A pebble count will be performed at
each surveyed riffle cross-section, only during the as -built survey to characterize the pavement.
6.2 Hydrology
Stream
Four bankfull flow events, occurring in separate years, must be documented on the restoration reaches
within the seven-year monitoring period. Stream monitoring will continue until success criteria in the
form of four bankfull events in separate years have been documented. Bankfull events will be
documented using photographs and either a crest gage or a pressure transducer, as appropriate for Site
conditions. The selected measurement device will be installed in the stream within a surveyed riffle
cross section. Photographs will also be used to document the occurrence of debris lines and sediment
deposition.
Where restoration activities are proposed for intermittent streams, monitoring gages will be installed to
track the frequency and duration of stream flow events. Continuous surface water flow within the
tributaries must be documented to occur every year for at least 30 consecutive days during the seven-
year monitoring period. This 30-day period of flow can occur at any point during the year. Additional
�. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank
W Camp Creek Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus Page 15
monitoring may be required if surface water flow cannot be documented due to abnormally dry
conditions.
Wetland
Groundwater monitoring will be conducted for seven years after construction to evaluate the hydrologic
state of the restored wetland areas. Wetland groundwater gages will be installed in accordance with the
techniques and standards described in the USACE document entitled "Technical Standard for Water -
Table Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites" (ERDC TN-WRAP-05-2, June 2005). Groundwater
monitoring gages will be established throughout the wetland area to adequately characterize the
different soils, vegetation communities, and surface topographic variations that are found across the
site. According to Table 1 in the USACE Mitigation Guidance update, Wehadkee soils have a wetland
saturation range of 12-16% of the growing season. Based on this, the final criteria for wetland hydrology
will be groundwater levels within 12 inches of the soil surface for a minimum period of 12% of the
growing season.
6.3 Vegetation
The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 planted stems per acre in the riparian
corridors at the end of the required monitoring period (year seven). The interim measure of vegetative
success for the Site will be the survival of at least 320 native species stems per acre at the end of the
third monitoring year and at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the fifth year of monitoring. Also,
trees must average seven feet in height at the end of the fifth monitoring year, and ten feet in height at
the end of the seventh monitoring year. If this performance standard is met by year five and stem
density is trending towards success (i.e., vigor), and invasive species are not threatening ecological
success, monitoring of vegetation on the Site may be terminated with written approval by the USACE in
consultation with the IRT. The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and controlled
as necessary throughout the required monitoring period.
Vegetation monitoring quadrants will be installed across the Site to measure the survival of the planted
trees. The number of monitoring quadrants required, and frequency of monitoring will be based on the
October 2016 IRT Mitigation Monitoring Guidance. Vegetation monitoring will occur in the summer and
will follow the CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008).
6.4 Other Parameters
Photo Reference Stations
Photographs should illustrate the Site's vegetation and morphological stability on an annual basis. Cross
section photos should demonstrate no excessive erosion or degradation of the banks. Longitudinal
photos should indicate the absence of persistent mid -channel bars within the channel or vertical
incision. Grade control structures should remain stable. Deposition of sediment on the bank side of vane
arms is preferable. Maintenance of scour pools on the channel side of vane arms is expected.
Photographs will be taken once a year to visually document stability for seven years following
construction. Permanent markers will be established and located with GPS equipment, so that the same
locations and view directions on the Site are photographed each year. Photos will be used to monitor
restoration and enhancement areas, as well as vegetation plots.
Longitudinal reference photos will be established at regular intervals along the channel by taking a
photo looking upstream and downstream. Cross sectional photos will be taken of each permanent cross
section looking upstream and downstream. Reference photos will also be taken for each of the
vegetation plots. Representative digital photos of each permanent photo point, cross section, and
�. Widllands Upper Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank
Camp Creek Mitigation Site
Draft Prospectus
Page 16
vegetation plot will be taken when the stream and vegetation assessments are conducted. The
photographer will make every effort to consistently maintain the same area in each photo over time.
Visual Assessments
Visual assessments should support the specific performance standards for each metric as described
above. Visual assessments will be performed along stream reaches on a semi-annual basis during the
seven-year monitoring period. Problem areas such as channel instability (e.g. lateral and/or vertical
instability, instream structure failure/instability and/or piping, headcuts), vegetation health (e.g. low
stem density, vegetation mortality, invasive species, or encroachment), or beaver activity will be noted.
Areas of concern will be mapped and photographed and will be accompanied by a written description in
the annual report. Problem areas will be re-evaluated during each subsequent visual assessment. Should
remedial actions be required, a plan of action will be provided in the annual monitoring report.
Benthic Macroinvertebrates
If required by DWR as part of the project's permitting process, benthic macroinvertebrate sampling will
be performed on the restored site. Any required sampling will be performed using DWR Standard
Operating Procedures for Benthic Macroinvertebrates (October 2012).
7.0 Maintenance and Long -Term Sustainability
7.1 Maintenance
The Bank shall be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection of the project shall be
conducted at a minimum of once per year throughout the post -construction monitoring period until
performance standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that
require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance will be conducted to rectify identified deficiencies
and may include the activities listed in Table 10.
Table 10. Maintenance Plan
Component /
Maintenance through project close-out
Feature
Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in -stream
structures to prevent piping, securing loose coir matting, and supplemental installations of live
Stream
stakes and other target vegetation along the channel. Areas where stormwater and floodplain
flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to prevent bank failures and head -
cutting. Beaver dams that inundate the streams channels shall be removed and the beaver
shall be trapped.
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted community.
Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting,
Vegetation
pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species affecting the viability of the
mitigation shall be controlled by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation control
requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with the NC Department of
Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.
Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the bank site
Site
and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree -
Boundary
blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary
markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed
basis.

7.2 Adaptive Management
Upon completion of site construction, the Sponsor will implement the post -construction monitoring
protocols and minor remedial actions (routine maintenance) will be performed as needed for the
duration of the monitoring period. The Sponsor will notify the USACE immediately if monitoring results
or visual observations suggest a trend towards instability, major remedial actions are needed, or that
performance standards cannot be achieved. Should major remedial measures be required, the Sponsor
will submit a Corrective Action Plan and coordinate with the USACE until authorization is secured to
conduct the adaptive management activities. The Sponsor is responsible for funding and/or providing
the services necessary to secure any necessary permits to support the proposed major remedial
adaptive management actions, to implement the corrective action plan, and to deliver record drawings
that depict the extent and nature of the work performed. If the USACE determines that the Bank is not
meeting performance standards or the Sponsor is not complying with the terms of the instrument, the
USACE may take appropriate actions, including but not limited to: suspending credit sales, utilizing
financial assurances, and/or terminating the instrument.
7.3 Long Term Management Provisions
The Sponsor will institute a Long Term Management Plan responsible for assessing the condition of the
Bank and implementing maintenance provisions to maintain performance of the Bank. The proposed
conservation easement will help to ensure that only IRT-allowable activities take place. This easement
will be transferred to an IRT-approved non-profit organization once monitoring success criteria have
been achieved.
The provider for long term management of the sites is anticipated to be Unique Places to Save
(UP2Save). UP2Save is a 501c3 nonprofit committed to land conservation through conservation planning
and management. The funding mechanism for long term management will be a stewardship
endowment funded by Wildlands. Contact information for UP2Save is listed below.

Email: info@unigueplacestosave.org
To monitor the project's continued success, a Long Term Management Plan will be implemented
following the seven-year monitoring period. All components of the bank will be inspected annually or
less frequently as needed to ensure that the Bank remains stable in perpetuity. Sources of instability or
other deficiencies will be addressed. Invasive species will be managed annually or less frequently as
needed to ensure the long term survivability of the planned native vegetation community. All reporting
will be documented and kept on file for future reference.

TC7347749.2s EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 6
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Elevations have been determined from the USGS Digital Elevation Model and should be evaluated on
a relative (not an absolute) basis. Relative elevation information between sites of close proximity
should be field verified. Sites with an elevation equal to or higher than the target property have been
differentiated below from sites with an elevation lower than the target property.
Page numbers and map identification numbers refer to the EDR Radius Map report where detailed
data on individual sites can be reviewed.
Sites listed in bold italics are in multiple databases.
Unmappable (orphan) sites are not considered in the foregoing analysis.
ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS
Other Ascertainable Records
