Bank Parcel Development Package
Wall Brothers Phase II Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
Randleman Lake Watershed - Cape Fear River Basin
The Wall Brothers Phase II Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel ("Parcel") is proposed under the terms and
conditions of the Wall Brothers Buffer Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI), which was made and
entered into by Wildlands Holdings V, LLC, the acting as Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). The Parcel shall
be planned and designed according to the MBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0240, and the Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 026.0295, which became effective on November 1, 2015.
The project includes restoring the riparian areas along several unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, UT3,
UT3a, UT4, and UT5) in Randolph County, NC. The primary purpose of the Bank is to provide riparian
buffer mitigation credits to mitigate for unavoidable buffer impacts in the Randleman Lake Watershed,
Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03030003 and the NCDWR Sub -basin 03-06-08 of the Cape Fear River Basin.
The Parcel's service area is depicted in Figure 1.
1.0 Project Location and Description
1.1 Introduction
This Parcel is being proposed to provide buffer mitigation through the creation of a riparian buffer
mitigation bank. The project involves restoring riparian buffers in order to help reduce non -point source
contaminant discharges to downstream waters, the Randleman Reservoir, and the Cape Fear River
Basin. There is an existing conservation easement on the first 50 feet from the top of bank of several of
the Parcel's project streams: UT1, UT2, UT3, UT3a, UT4, and UT5 (Figure 2). This existing easement was
recorded on the Parcel in 2012 as part of a NC Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) Wall Brothers
Buffer Mitigation Site (NCDWR #2012-0949). Phase II of the project, proposed here, expands the buffer
restoration area an additional 50 feet on either side of UT1-UT5 and upstream 200 feet on UT3 and UT4.
Of the 9.92 acres protected under the Phase II conservation easement, 9.12 acres are proposed for
riparian buffer restoration and 0.51 acres for riparian buffer preservation, for a total of 351,964.800
square feet of riparian buffer credits. An additional 0.29 acres of riparian buffer will be protected under
the conservation easement but are not eligible for mitigation credit in compliance with 15A NCAC 02B
.0295, due to the distance from the project features.
1.2 Parcel Location, Access and Site Constraints
The Site is approximately three miles northwest of Asheboro and 0.5 mile west of Randleman in Randolph
County, NC (Figure 2). The site is located within the 14 -digit HUC 03030003010060 and the NCDWR Sub -
basin 03-06-08, which is in the Randleman Lake Watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin.
The project site is accessible from Wall Brothers Road. There are two 40 -foot existing easement breaks
for existing stream crossings on UTI and UT2. These breaks are not included in the buffer mitigation
credits calculated for the project. There are no other known constraints on the proposed project site.

HUC 03030003 — BPDP

2.0 Project Area - Existing Conditions
2.1 Parcel Features
The project includes restoring the riparian areas along six unnamed tributaries which flow to Randleman
Reservoir shown on Figure 3: UT1, UT2, UT3, UT3a, UT4, and UT5. The reservoir is a regional water supply
and stream buffer protection rules are in place throughout the watershed. As stated in Section 1.0, the
project features were part of Phase I of Wall Brothers Buffer Mitigation Project. As such, 50 feet of the
riparian buffer from those stream channels have been restored and are protected under a conservation
easement. Phase II expands beyond that for an additional 50 feet of buffer restoration on each side of
those reaches and extends upstream of UT3a and UT4 for a total of 200 feet. Photos showing current site
conditions (as of February 2019) of the Parcel are provided in the Appendix.
NCDWR performed an onsite visit of the Parcel to determine viability for buffer mitigation and nutrient
offset on October 2, 2018 (letter dated October 22, 2018) for the project. All six of Parcel's stream
features were deemed viable by NCDWR to generate buffer mitigation credit under the Randleman
Buffer Rules and Water Quality Standards (15A NCAC 02B.0250). The classification and subjectivity calls
for the Parcel were approved as part of the Phase I NCDMS Wall Brothers Mitigation Site, which was
planted in 2012 and completed in 2017. The site viability letter for buffer mitigation and the on-site
stream determination letter are included in the Appendix. There have not been any changes to the land
use in the project area since the October 2018 DWR site visit.

*The site viability letter refers to UT4 and UT4a. Per the Phase I NCDMS Wall Brothers As -Built data, UT4 is an
ephemeral channel for its entire length.
There are areas on UT1 and UT2 that are already forested. These forested areas meet the requirements
of the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B 0.0295(0)(5)) for preservation by having a
buffer width that is at least 30 feet from the stream, by the area meeting the requirements of 15A NCAC
02R 0.0403 (c) (7), (8), and (11) with no known structures, infrastructure, hazardous substances, solid
water, or encumbrances within the mitigation boundary, and by credits only being requested on 25% of
the total area of buffer mitigation. Documentation supporting compliance with 02R 0.0403 is included
in Section 2.8.
In addition to buffer restoration and preservation on subject streams, per the Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rules (15A NCAC 02B 0.0295 (0)(7)), alternative mitigation is proposed on the Site in the form
of buffer restoration on ephemeral channels. The proposed project is in compliance with the rules in the
following ways:
• NCDWR performed an evaluation of the Site as part of Phase I of the project and identified the
perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral channels on the property.
• The area of mitigation on the Site's ephemeral channels is within their drainage areas.
Wall Brothers Phase II Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
HUC 03030003 — BPDP 4

The ephemeral channels are directly connected to intermittent or perennial stream channels
and will be protected under the same contiguous easement boundary.
The area of mitigation on the ephemeral channels is less than 25% of the total area of buffer
mitigation on the Site.
2.2 Historical Land Use
The current land use on the property is mainly row crop agriculture. The unforested areas of the
floodplain, from top of bank to 50 feet adjacent to all streams onsite, were planted with native woody
vegetation in March 2012 as part of the Phase I DMS Wall Buffer Mitigation Site. The Phase I assessment
found the site primarily characterized by agriculture with some forested land in riparian corridors. Low-
density development exists along the roadways near the project area. Land use within this area is
expected to remain constant for the foreseeable future. After the completion of the Interstate 74
corridor, development does not appear to have increased near the site. This is based on 2018 aerial
imagery. During Phase I of the project, a small farm pond was removed and 10.39 acres of riparian
buffer were planted with native forest vegetation.
2.3 Geology and Soils
The Site is located in the Carolina Slate Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic Province. The Piedmont
Province is characterized by gently rolling, well rounded hills with long low ridges and elevations ranging
anywhere from 300 to 1500 feet above sea level. The Carolina Slate belt consists of heated and
deformed volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Approximately 550 to 650 million years ago, this region was
the site of a series of oceanic volcanic islands. The belt is known for its numerous abandoned gold mines
and prospects. Specifically, the proposed restoration site is located in the CZg geologic region within the
Carolina Slate Belt. This region is classified as intrusive, metamorphosed granite rock. Furthermore, this
rock type is described as a well foliated and megacrystic that locally contains hornblende.
The predominant floodplain soils on site are described in Table 2. Figure 5 shows an image of the
Natural Resource Conservation Service 2006 Soil Survey of Randolph County.

2.4 Existing Vegetative Communities
The area upstream of UT3a, UT4, and UT5 are currently used for row crop agriculture outside of the
Phase I conservation easement. Additionally, along UT1 upstream of the Wall Brothers site, there is row
crop agriculture. Downstream of the Wall Brothers Road is a field with shrubby vegetation and some
mature forest. The project area along UT2 is comprised of a combination of mature forest and row crop
agriculture. Sparse tree species in pockets within the easement include red cedar (Juniperus virginiana),

red maple (Acerrubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), multiple oak species (Quercus spp.), black
willow (Salix nigra), hackberry (Celtis laevigata), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Japanese
honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), blackberry (Rubus spp.), and fescue (Festuca spp.)
To create the native community composition of a Piedmont/ Low Mountain Alluvial Forest, tree species
planted within the Wall Buffer Mitigation Site - Phase I conservation easement include: American elm
(Ulmus americana), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), green
ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis).
2.5 Threatened and Endangered Species
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) databases were
searched for federally listed threatened and endangered plant and animal species in Randolph County,
NC. Two federally listed species identified as threatened or endangered are currently listed in Randolph
County (Table 3).

The project will not include any work in the stream or within 50 feet of the stream; therefore, will have
"no effect" on the federally listed Cape Fear Shiner (Notropis mekistocholas) species. As for the
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), there is marginally suitable onsite habitat in the form of
relic cattle pastures, agricultural cropland, early successional forests, and streamside thickets. However,
the area lacks the proper light and soil regimes needed for establishment of the species; therefore, the
project will have "no effect" on the Schweinitz's sunflower.
2.6 Cultural Resources
There are no existing structures in the project area. The site is not located near any sites listed on the
National Register with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). During Phase I of the project, SHPO
was contacted by DMS's representatives with a request to provide comment on the Parcel. On
November 10, 2010, SHPO responded and found that no historic resources will be affected by the
project. Correspondence from SHPO is included in the Appendix.
2.7 FEMA Floodplain Compliance
The Site is not located in a FEMA floodplain. No grading activities are proposed in the floodplain, so a
floodplain development permit will not be required. No hydraulic modeling is proposed for this project.
2.8 Other Environmental Issues
An EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Site through Environmental Data
Resources, Inc. on December 5, 2011 by DMS's representatives as part of DMS Phase I project. The
target property and the adjacent properties are not listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal
Wall Brothers Phase II Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
HUC 03030003 — BPDP

environmental databases searched by EDR. There were no known or potential hazardous waste sites
identified within one mile of the Parcel. The Executive Summary of the EDR report is included in the
Appendix.
3.0 Proposed Riparian Restoration & Enhancement Plan
Developing the Parcel for mitigation will require converting existing agriculture land use practices
adjacent to streams into riparian forest. The riparian areas will be planted with appropriate native tree
species along the project corridors. Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed
during the first year of tree establishment in the restoration areas to control establishment of invasive
species that could impact the planted native species. More detailed descriptions of the proposed
restoration activity follow in Sections 3.1- 3.3.
3.1 Parcel Preparation
The land adjacent to the streams within 51-200 feet from top of bank is currently used for row crop
fields, except for the small preservation areas along UT2, UT3, and UT4 (Figure 5). Areas slated for buffer
restoration will require site preparation that will include select herbicide treatments or limited
mechanical clearing to remove undesirable underbrush or invasive species. Where needed, invasive
species will be removed by hand and spot treated by a licensed pesticide applicator.
3.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
The revegetation plan for the entire buffer restoration area will include permanent seeding, planting
bare root trees and controlling invasive species growth. The specific species composition to be planted
was selected based on the community type, observation of occurrence of species in riparian buffers
adjacent to the Parcel, and best professional judgement on species establishment and anticipated site
conditions in the early years following project implementation. Species chosen for the planting plan are
listed in Table 4 below.

Trees will be planted at a density sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A
NCAC 02B .0295 of 260 trees per acre at the end of five years. No single tree species will be greater than
50% of the established stems. An appropriate seed mix will also be applied to provide temporary and
permanent ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events in areas
without existing herbaceous cover. Planting is scheduled for winter 2019/2020.
Wall Brothers Phase II Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
HUC 03030003 — BPDP

3.3 Riparian Area Preservation Activities
There will be no parcel preparation work done in the buffer preservation areas, as allowed under 15A
NCAC 02B .0295(o). The preservation area will be protected in perpetuity under a conservation
easement.
4.0 Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
4.1 Monitoring Protocol
Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be installed and evaluated within the buffer restoration
areas to measure the survival of the planted trees. The plots will be randomly placed throughout the
planted riparian areas. A total of seven (7) plots will be established within the riparian buffer
restoration and enhancement credit generation areas (Figure 7). The size of individual quadrants will be
100 square meters for woody tree species.
Vegetation assessments will be conducted following the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2
Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner
of each of the seven plots. Photos will be taken from all vegetation plot photo points each monitoring
year and provided in the annual reports. All planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and
recorded.
Planting is scheduled for winter 2019/2020. The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the
end of the first growing season, at least five months after planting has been completed and no earlier
than the fall season. Species composition, height, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis
by plot. The total number of volunteer woody stems will also be documented and reported. The
measures of vegetative success for the Parcel will be the survival of at least 4 native hardwood tree
species, where no one species is greater than 50% of the established stems, and at an established
density of at least 260 planted trees per acre at the end of Year five. Appropriate and desirable native
volunteer species may be included to meet the performance standards with NCDWR approval.
The Sponsor shall submit the annual monitoring report to NCDWR by December 31St of each year for five
consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the MBI.
4.2 Parcel Maintenance
If the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in Section
4.1, adaptive measures will be developed and/or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented. Site
maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have a high
likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include, but are not limited to, fire, flooding, drought,
or insects that cause excess tree mortality. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the
success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. Any parcel
maintenance performed will be included in the monitoring report for that year. A rigorous herbicide
schedule may need to be implemented in the first few years of tree establishment in the restoration
areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that may out -compete the planted native vegetation.
The only herbicides used on the Parcel will be aquatic approved herbicides that will be applied in
accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture rules and regulations.
The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities. Easement boundary
conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to
NCDWR. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must
receive approval from the NCDWR prior to conducting any mowing activities within Zone 1 and Zone 2
of the Randleman Lake buffers to ensure that no buffer violations have occurred.
Wall Brothers Phase II Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
HUC 03030003 — BPDP

4.3 Easement Boundaries and Fencing
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, post, tree -blazing, or other means as
allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers that have been disturbed,
damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. Contact information for
the conservation easement holder will be included on easement markers.
5.0 Financial Assurance and Long -Term Management
5.1 Financial Assurances
Following approval of the Wall Brothers Bank Parcel Development Package, the Sponsor shall provide a
Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best. The
Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the project as
described in the Bank parcel Development Package (BPDP), but not less than $150,000.00. In lieu of
posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit
release. In that case no performance bond will be necessary.
After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be
secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan but not less
than $100,000.00. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring
period for a term of one year and be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR
approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next years monitoring
period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with each annual monitoring report when
applicable. NCDWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are
submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable.
5.2 Long-term Management
The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved NCDWR long term
stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation
easement. The long-term manager will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure
that the restrictions documented in the recorded easement are upheld.
6.0 Mitigation Potential
Approximately 9.92 acres will be protected with a permanent conservation easement. Out of the 9.92
acres, a total of 9.12 acres are proposed for riparian buffer restoration and 0.51 acres for riparian buffer
preservation, for a total of 351,964.800 riparian buffer credits. An additional 0.29 acres will be protected
under the conservation easement but are not eligible for mitigation credit in compliance with 15A NCAC
0213 .0295.
Mitigation activities per drainage feature are outlined in Table 5. These acreages were calculated prior
to applying any reductions in riparian buffer credits for areas between 101 feet and 200 feet from top of
bank, per 15A NCAC 02B.0295(n), riparian buffer credit limits on ephemeral channels per 15A NCAC 02B
.0295(0)(7), or the 2:1 and 10:1 credit ratios on the enhancement and preservation of rural streams
respectively, per 15A NCAC 02B .0295(m).

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Wall Brothers Phase II Site
Located near 4477 Wall Brothers Rd, Sophia, NC
Randleman Lake Watershed/HUC 03030003
Randolph County
Dear Ms. Eckardt,
On July 30, 2018, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from you on behalf of Wildlands Engineering, Inc (WEI) for a site visit near the above -referenced
site in the Randleman Lake Watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin. The site visit was to determine
the potential for riparian buffer mitigation within a proposed Easement Boundary, which is more
accurately shown in the attached map labeled "Figure 1 Site Map" and initialed by Ms. Merritt on
October 22, 2018. Part of this site is adjacent to an existing DMS full -delivery buffer mitigation site
known as "Wall Buffer Mitigation Site" (DWR# 2012-0949) where fifty -foot riparian buffers were
restored. On October 2, 2018, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB)
and landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015).

Subject Property: Wall Buffer Mitigation Site, Randolph County
On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Randleman Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0252)
Dear Ms. Crocker:
On January 26, 2016, at your request and in your attendance, I conducted an on-site evaluation
of a channel through a drained pond feature. The attached map shows the approximate location
of the feature on the referenced property. The pond had been previously drained and you
requested an evaluation to determine if a stream which would be subject to the Randleman
Buffer Rules was present within the drained pond area.
During the site visit it was determined that there were was an intermittent stream present
within the drained pond area. Please note that buffer mitigation credit along this feature is
subject to meeting success criteria for a buffer restoration site.
The owner (or future owners) should notify the DWR (and other relevant agencies) of this
decision in any future correspondences concerning this property. This on-site determination
shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter.

Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR or Delegated
Local Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer rule may request a
determination by the Director. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to
the Director in writing c/o Cyndi Karoly, DWR, 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit,
2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. Individuals that dispute a
determination by the DWR or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" surface water from the
buffer rule may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that
you receive this letter. Applicants are hereby notified that the 60 -day statutory appeal time does
not start until the affected party (including downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of
this decision. DWR recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be
certain that third party appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a
written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the
Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This
determination is final and binding unless you ask for a hearing within 60 days.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the mitigation rules and the buffer rules and does
not approve any activity within Waters of the United States or Waters of the State or their
associated buffers. If you have any additional questions or require additional information please
contact me at 336-776-9693 or [e-mail]
