EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Restoration Systems (Sponsor) is pleased to provide the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources ( NCDWR) this Year 3 (2015) Annual Monitoring Report for the Pancho Bank Parcel
(Parcel) pursuant to the Restoration Systems' Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer & Nutrient
Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (Banking Instrument) signed March 17, 2008 between
the Sponsor and the NCDWR.
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). Encompassing 65.62 acres of
land, the Parcel is within the Neuse River Basin 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 was designed and constructed 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 (Meuse
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.
Prior to construction activities, Parcel land use was agricultural based and utilized for livestock
grazing and row crop production with degraded forest pockets. Pasture areas were accessible to
livestock and were routinely cleared for hay production, resulting in local disturbances to stream
banks and wetland soil surfaces. Additional land use practices included 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).
Adjacent land use is currently characterized by pasture land for hay production and livestock
grazing. Prior to construction, adjacent landowners installed and will be responsible for the
maintenance of fencing to protect from livestock trespass and damage to Parcel assets.
Parcel construction activities were concluded in early April 2013. An onsite determination for
applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) was conducted in
June 2013 and NCDWR approved the Pancho Bank Parcel Development Package on October 4,
2013. The Sponsor currently owns the property in fee simple, a perpetual Conservation Easement
was placed over the Parcel on April 18, 2012. This Parcel was designed and implemented in
concurrence with the Pancho Stream & Wetland Mitigation Bank (Corps Action ID # SAW -
2010- 00142).
Restoration of riparian corridors was accomplished in conjuncture with the objectives and
methods outlined by the Pancho Stream & Wetland Mitigation Bank. Primary objectives of the
riparian restoration focused on improving water quality, enhancing flood attenuation, and
Year 3 (2015) Monitoring Report Executive Summary i
Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank
restoring wildlife habitat by planting a forested riparian buffer adjacent to stream channels,
Primary objectives were 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 Parcel 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 Parcel
streams, and b) removing livestock from the Parcel.
3. Promoting floodwater attenuation by increasing frictional resistance on floodwaters
crossing Parcel 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 Parcel's full potential of stream and riparian buffer functions and values in
perpetuity.
The primary objectives were achieved by implementing a two phase restoration plan, which
consisted of the following.
1. Re- establishment of riparian buffer forest up to 200 linear feet from channel margins.
2. Permanent protection of the Parcel in a conservation easement.
Year 3 (2015) vegetation sampling occurred October 2, 2015. Stem density across the Parcel
was above the required average density with 645 planted tree stems per acre (excluding
livestakes) surviving in year 3 (2015). In addition, all individual plots exceeded success criteria
with the exception of Plot 2; however, when including naturally recruited stems of appropriate
species such as green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and river birch (Betula nigra) this plot is
well above success criteria. The area surrounding Plots 8 and 9 is characterized by compacted
soils from previous agricultural land -use; therefore, planted stem survival in this area was low.
This area was planted with 200 -1 gallon northern red oak (Quercus rubra) and white oak
(Quercus alba) tree stems in the winter of 2014/2015. Overall, newly planted stems appear
vigorous, and stem counts have risen well above success criteria in this area.
Additionally, a small area (soil borrow area from Site construction) between the main tributary
and Kennedy Mill Branch was observed to have bare, eroded, nutrient poor soil and low planted
stem survival during year 2 (2014) monitoring. Planted stems in this area appeared slightly
stunted, but present and viable during year 3 (2015) monitoring. If needed, a remedial action
plan for this area will be developed and may include fertilization, installation of erosion control
matting, and replanting. Further correspondence with the DWR will occur prior to any action.
Overall, Parcel conditions remained stable during Year 3 (2015). No signs of herbivory,
easement encroachment, mowing, pruning, or mulching were observed. The fences protecting

the easement from livestock intrusion are intact and effective. Additionally, minimal invasive
species were observed on the Parcel, continual monitoring and treatment of invasive species will
be conducted by Carolina Silvics, a NCDA & CS Licensed Pesticide Applicator.

1.0 MONITORING AND SUCCESS CRITERIA
Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation will include periodic visual inspection and
annual plant survival and species diversity survey reports. Quantitative sampling of vegetation
will be performed as outlined in the CVS Level 1 -2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2
(Lee et al. 2008). 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 monitoring report, which will include photographic record of the
Parcel's assets.
Monitoring of the restoration efforts will be performed for five years or until success criteria are
fulfilled. Restoration Systems shall submit annual monitoring reports to NCDWR no later than
December 31St of each year. Quantitative monitoring will occur at seventeen (17) 10 -meter x10 -
meter vegetation plots (Figure 2, Appendix B). Vegetation sampling will be performed as
outlined in the CVS Level 1 -2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) in
September or October for the remainder of the monitoring period or until vegetation success
criteria are achieved.
During the first year, vegetation will receive a cursory, visual evaluation on a periodic basis to
ascertain the degree of overtopping of planted elements by nuisance species. Success criteria
within the riparian 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. Natural recruits
will not count towards annual success criteria, but may be taken into account during review by the
NCDWR.
2.0 MITIGATION POTENTIAL
Riparian areas suitable to generate mitigation credit were calculated by measuring 50 linear feet
horizontally from the top of bank on all subject streams for Neuse riparian buffer credit and 200
linear feet from the top of bank on all hydrologically connected conveyances for nutrient offset
mitigation. Riparian buffer credits were measured by the hundredth of an acre and converted into
square feet.
The Parcel will generate 16.35 acres of restored riparian area; of that 11.33 acres will be used
specifically for nutrient offset credit, generating 25,753.31 pounds of nitrogen offset credit (the
NCDWR determined that restored riparian areas at the Parcel would abate 2273.02 pounds per
acre of nitrogen), and the remaining 5.02 acres (218,671.2 sq. ft.) will be used for Neuse riparian
buffer credits. The mitigation provided in the Neuse riparian buffer can be used for either Neuse
riparian buffer credits or nutrient offset credits, but not both. The Sponsor will request and receive
approval of the transfer of any mitigation credits from NCDWR. All mitigation credit assets shall
be shown on the credit ledgers. Figure 3 (Appendix B) and Table 1 (Appendix A) summarize the
Parcel's components and mitigation credits.
3.0 MAINTENANCE AND CONTINGENCY
A remedial action plan will be developed and implemented with the approval of NCDWR in the
event that the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel 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
