DRAFT As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report — August 2015

1.0 Introduction
Restoration Systems (Sponsor) is pleased to provide the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC
DWR) this As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report for the Half -Mile Branch Bank Parcel (Parcel). As
agreed upon in the Restoration Svstems' Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer & Nutrient Umbrella
Mitigation Banking Instrument (Banking Instrument), and signed March 17, 2008 between Restoration
Systems and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR), this document details the riparian
area restoration activities, monitoring efforts, and the final mitigation potential of the Parcel.
Measuring 30.46 acres, the 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 in the Neuse River Basin, according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rule — CMB rule) 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,
tables, and photos are located in Appendix A.
An onsite determination for site suitability and applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0233) was conducted by DWR representatives Katie Merritt and Anthony Scarborough on
February 9, 2015.
Upon receipt of DWR Determination Letter and Site Suitability Letter (Appendix C) and submittal of the
Draft Bank Parcel Development Package, RS, at its discretion, began planning and implementing
restoration activities. Table 2 of Appendix A, Project Activity and Reporting History, provides a detailed
account of the project's history.
Restoration construction activities were conducted in late March 2015. On April 3rd, the Site was
revegetated with native hardwoods at an approximant density of 500 stems per acres. Twenty -five (25)
Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) monitoring plots were installed post restoration. As -built data was
collected in Mav of 2015 by Axiom Environmental and derived an average planted stem density of 419
stems per acre (Appendix B). A Conservation Easement was placed over the Parcel on May 1 st, 2015 and
recorded at the Wayne County Register of Deeds in Goldsboro, NC. Book No. 3153, Page No. 191. The
Parcel's Bank Parcel Development Package was approved by DWR June 8th, 2015. Katie Merritt of DWR
performed a restoration verification site visit on June 9th

DRAFT As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report — August 2015

2.2 Parcel Background
The Parcel encompasses 30.46 acres of land located along Half -Mile Branch and its Unnamed Tributary.
According to the Final Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (NCDWQ 2009), the lack of buffer and
heavy agricultural practices along Half -Mile 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 Half -Mile 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.
Historically, the Parcel contained agricultural land utilized for row crop production and small isolated
forests. Agricultural areas were routinely harvested for soybean and winter wheat, resulting in local
disturbances to stream banks and wetland soil surfaces. Additional land use practices included the
maintenance and removal of riparian vegetation and ditching through buffers and fields to reduce wet areas
for crop production. Figure 2 of Appendix A graphically displays pre - construction conditions. Adjacent
land use is currently characterized by row crop production and single family dwelling units.
A permanent Conservation Easement was placed over the Parcel on May 1st, 2015 and recorded at the
Wayne County Register of Deeds in Goldsboro, NC. Book No. 3153, Page No. 191. Of the 30.46 acre
Parcel, 23.45 acres of riparian area will be restored and 3.18 acres will be preserved (existing hardwood
forest) through the establishment and permanent protection of native hardwood vegetation.
2.3 Parcel Obiectives
The primary goals associated with the restoration of riparian areas is 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 a forested riparian area along agricultural ditches. These goals will be
accomplished by the following;
1. Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural production, including a)
ceasing the broadcast application of fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural materials into and
adjacent to Site surface water conveyances, and b) providing a restored buffer to filter runoff from
adjacent lands.
2. Reducing sedimentation within onsite and downstream receiving waters by reducing bank erosion,
vegetation maintenance, and agricultural land disturbances.
3. Promoting floodwater attenuation by increasing frictional resistance of 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 re- establishing natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional
continuity.
7. Protecting the Site's riparian buffer functions and values in perpetuity
3.0 Restoration Activities
To achieve the objectives and goals above, a three phase restoration plan was implemented;
1. Re- establishment of diffused flow through the existing riparian buffer;
2. Re- establishment or Preservation of the riparian area from the Top of Bank to 200 feet of surface
waters and surface conveyances; and
3. Permanently protect the Parcel in the form of conservation easement.
Half -Mile Branch Riparian Buffer & Nutrient Offset Bank Parcel Page 2
DRAFT As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report — August 2015

The 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 will contribute to
diversity and provide secondary benefits, such as enhanced feeding and nesting opportunities for mammals,
birds, amphibians and other wildlife.
3.1 Re- establishment of diffused flows
A total of four culverts were removed to insure Half -Mile Branch and surface conveyances would flow
properly; preventing the chance of hydrologic trespass of adjacent properties. A dilapidated concrete culvert
was removed along Half -Mile Branch and the other three were removed along surface conveyance A (2
culverts) & E (1 culvert). Once removed, disturbed areas were stabilized with matting and native seed mix.
Multiple manmade conveyances /furrows had been previously dug through the Neuse Riparian Buffer
perpendicular to the stream channels. These conveyances /furrows were filled to historic elevations,
stabilized, and seeded with a native seed mix. Restoring diffused flow through the riparian buffer.
3.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Areas subject to row -crop production, were ripped and scarified prior to planting. As a result,
approximately 23.5 acres were ripped with linear bands perpendicular to the direction of surface water
flows. The established microtopography on leveled surfaces will promote diffuse flow and surface water
storage throughout the floodplain. In addition, subsurface hardpans will be eliminated to promote
vegetation growth/survival and to increase groundwater recharge rates.
Vegetative species chosen based on reference forest data, onsite observations, and community descriptions
from Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990) Coastal
Plain Bottomland Hardwood (NCWAM Bottomland Hardwood Forest and Headwater Forest). Coastal
Plain Bottomland Hardwoods include species with high value for sediment stabilization, rapid growth rate,
the ability to withstand hydraulic forces associated with flood events, and are well suited for wetland soil
types.
Deep- rooted, riparian vegetation was restored over 23.45 acres of the Parcel. Bare -root seedlings of tree
species within the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods were be planted at a density of approximately 500
stems per acre on 10 -foot centers. A detailed planting list is provided as Table 5 and graphically on Figure
4 of Appendix B along with as -built baseline vegetation data. Baseline data was collected in May of 2015
by Axiom Environmental and derived an average planted stem density of 419 stems per acre.
3.3 Riparian Buffer Preservation Activities
3.18 acres of the Parcel have been preserved. Preservation activities include permanently protecting the
existing riparian buffer from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and any similar activities that would affect
the functionality of the riparian buffer. Areas specified for Preservation, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B
.0295, are show in Figure 3 and will only generate buffer mitigation. These areas are primarily described
as disturbed mixed hardwoods, with the number of high value species per acre above 200. Buffer credits
sought in the preservation area will only be allowed to use toward buffer mitigation and cannot be
transferred into nutrient offset credits. Preservation areas do not extend beyond 100 feet from the top of
bank of Parcel streams.
3.4 Parcel Protection
A Conservation Easement was placed over the Parcel on May 1st, 2015 and recorded at the Wayne County
Register of Deeds in Goldsboro, NC. Book No. 3153, Page No. 191. Parcel boundaries have been delineated
in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be
identified by cattle fence, marker, bollard, post, tree - blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions
and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or
Half -Mile Branch Riparian Buffer & Nutrient Offset Bank Parcel Page 3
DRAFT As -Built & Baseline Monitoring Report — August 2015

replaced on an as needed basis. The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring
activities and reported to NC DWR.
4.0 Mitigation 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 as -built survey (Appendix A) determined the Parcel encompasses 23.45 acres of restored riparian area,
3.18 acres of persevered riparian buffer. Of the restored riparian area, 16.18 acres will generate nutrient
offset credit, generating 36,777.451bs. of nitrogen offset credit. 7.27 acres of restored riparian area and 3.18
acres of buffer preservation will generate 330,533.28 sq. ft. of Neuse River riparian buffer credits. Riparian
buffer credits derived from preservation cannot generate nutrient offset mitigation. Riparian buffer
mitigation generated via restoration, can be used for either Neuse River riparian buffer credits or nutrient
offset credits, but not both. RS must request and receive approval from DWR to transfer any mitigation
credits between riparian buffer and nutrient offset. All mitigation credit assets shall be shown on the credit
ledgers. RS will provide a separate credit ledger for the Buffer Preservation credits. Table 1 of appendix A
summarizes the Parcel's components and mitigation credit potential.
5.0 Monitoring Protocol & Success Criteria
1.1 Monitoring Protocol
Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation will monitor plant survival and species diversity.
Quantitative sampling of vegetation will be performed through twenty -five (25) 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
occur in October of each year, with the 1St monitoring data to be collected in the fall of 2015 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 submit to NCDWR an annual
monitoring report, no later than December 31" of each year. Detailed qualitative and quantitative
monitoring is proposed for vegetated riparian areas, which will also 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.
1.2 Parcel Maintenance
A remedial action plan will be developed and implemented with the approval of NCDWR 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.
1.3 Long Term Management Plan
The Sponsor has obtain a Conservation Easement in perpetuity over the Parcel. The Conservation Easement
preserves all areas, and prohibits all use of the property inconsistent with its use as mitigation, 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 will be 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.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset -- Half Mile Branch
2175 Old Smithfield Rd, Goldsboro, NC
Wayne County
Dear Raymond,
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
On January 8, 2015, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request from
Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) for a site visit to the above - referenced site to detennine the site's potential
for nutrient offset and Neuse riparian buffer mitigation. On February 9, 2015, Ms. Merritt, along with
Anthony Scarbraugh of DWR, performed a site assessment of the subject site. Existing conditions onsite
were determined to be active row crop agriculture. Ms. Merritt assessed each feature, as proposed on the
attached map by RS, to determine its ability to deliver nutrients to downstream waters. If approved,
mitigating this site could provide both riparian buffer credits and nutrient offset credits within the 8 -digit
Hydrologic Emit Code (HUQ 03020201 of the Neuse River Basin, excluding the Falls Watershed for
nutrient offset.
Overall, the site appeared to be a good candidate for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset. Details of the site
assessment for determining its viability for mitigation are provided below:
• Both streams onsite were determined to be at least intermittent and are suitable for riparian buffer
restoration outside of the forest fringes. A supporting stream determination letter is required.
• Multiple perpendicular conveyances had been recently dug by the landowner through the buffers,
thus creating an outlet to the streams for drainage. These conveyances must be filled and stabilized
to allow diffuse flow of stormwater through the buffer.
• Ditches A, C and D are suitable for riparian restoration to generate nutrient offsets. Existing trees
and fringes must be calculated out of the total proposed mitigation area.
• Ditch D was not determined to be suitable for riparian restoration onsite due to the inability of staff
to observe the direction of flow of stormwater within the ditch. The layout of the land, along with a
lidar map provided by Mr. Scarbraugh, indicated that stormwater draining to this ditch may not be
conveyed to the stream downstream of the ditch. However, if RS wants to propose Ditch D in the
mitigation plan, RS must provide documentation that the ditch conveys stormwater runoff to the
stream onsite.

• The presence of a culvert along the northern part of Ditch A needs to be cleaned out or removed in
order to not impede flow and affect the connectivity of this section to the rest of the system.
• Plants chosen for this site need to be well adapted to wet, poorly drained soils.
A map showing the project site and the different features is provided and signed by Ms. Merritt on February
23, 2415. Please contact Katie Merritt at (919) -$07 -5371 if you have any questions regarding this

been used, to calculate a deduction for federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Section 170(h) of the
Internal Revenue Code (whether eligible or ineligible for such a deduction). Grantee shall use its share
of the proceeds in a manner consistent with the purposes of this Conservation Easement.
