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 Year 3 (2015) Monitoring Report Executive Summary ii Pancho Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank 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.

Total and Planted Stems by Plot and Species Year 3 (2015) Monitoring Report Table of Contents Pancho Bank Parcel 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 Year 3 (2015) Monitoring Report Page 1 Pancho Bank Parcel chemical methods (aquatic approved herbicide) in accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. 4.0 REFERENCES Griffith, G.E., J.M.
