Bank Parcel Development Package
GUC Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
Pitt County, NC —Tar-Pamlico River Basin
1,4 Introduction
The GUC Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel ("Parcel" or "Site") is proposed under the
terms and conditions of the GUC Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Banking Instrument449
44iyGtiep gGpkipy ip6tF....,,ep made and entered into on by Restoration Systems, LLC
(RS), acting as Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ), Division of Water Resources (DWR). The Parcel shall be planned and designed according to the
MBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0258, 15A NCAC 02B .0240, and the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC
02B .0295, which became effective on November 1, 2015.
Located in Pitt County North Carolina, the project encompasses 97.09 acres of historic pasture and
irrigated biosolids lands for the City of Greenville Waste Water Facility. The project will restore the
riparian areas along three (3) unnamed tributaries and two (2) surface water conveyances (ditches) with
direct hydrologic connection to Tar River. The primary purpose of the Parcel is to provide riparian buffer
mitigation credit and nutrient offset credits for stormwater requirements within the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) Cataloging Unit 03020103.
The Site is comprised of three separate tracts situated just north of the Tar River. Currently, Site tracts
are subject to an existing 50-foot Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc. (PNG) Easement. The subject
easement is for PNG Line 42, DWR Permit No. 2012-1024 v7, and runs roughly east to west across Site
parcels. In addition, a new PNG easement and gas line (Line 24 — DWR 2018-1640 — 401 approval on 04-
26-2019) will begin construction in September 2019 and will likely conclude two to three months later.
Construction associated with the Line 24 will require a temporary construction easement on a portion of
land slated to be incorporated into the Bank Parcel. Subsequently, implementation of the Bank Parcel
will occur under a two phased approach. Phase 1, will include those Parcel easement tracts situated
safely away, at a minimum 200-feet, from the construction limits of Line 24, and Phase 2 which will
include the remaining acreage. RS will not begin any riparian site work within Phase 2 of the project until
DWR has verified in writing that PNG is compliant with applicable permits for the pipeline constructed
on the Parcel and the temporary PNG easement is abandoned. °"^s^' �004" Ret be -,.,.,.,,ved w4il the

Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI). Details regarding project phasing are provided in Section 3.0 —
Restoration Plan and Section 6.0 — Mitigation Potential.
NCDWR representatives Katie Merritt and Chris Pullinger conducted an onsite determination for parcel
applicability and suitability on November 11, 2017. Follow-up information was provided to Katie Merritt
on January 22, 2019 and a Site Viability for Buffer & Nutrient Offset was provided by the Division on
March 25, 2019 (Appendix B).
pr;vTte the y„+t6@Toed+t-release fre-FA eithe.-T„a&e, RS will secure a conservation easement to preserve
the Site in perpetuity, and restrict any development that would impair or interfere with the conservation
values of the Parcel. Per the referenced Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) above, IRS will arrange the
transfer of the conservation easement and its interests in perpetuity to a qualified holder under N.C.
General Statute ("G.S.") 121-34 et seq. and 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code prior to the end of the
fourth year monitoring period. The holder shall be a land trust or stewardship program accredited by
the Land Trust Accreditation Commission and/or approved by DWR. A land trust must be certified under
501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and must have the qualifications outlined in G.S. 105-130.24 and
G.S. 105-151.12.

1.4 Parcel Overview
The Site encompasses three tracks of land, totaling 574.58 acres of historic agricultural land and includes
two (2) surface water conveyances (ditches) with direct hydrologic connection to two (2) unnamed
tributaries which drain immediately to the Tar -Pamlico River. A third unnamed tributary is also present
onsite and connects to an onsite tributary before entering the Tar -Pamlico River (Figure 1, Appendix A).
Parcel surface water conveyances and unnamed tributaries have been cleared of vegetation by historical
agricultural practices and maintained as cleared ditches. Small pockets of disturbed forests do remain on
Site; located at the top of Feature 2, along the margins of Feature 5, and in the southeast corner of
Feature 8. Existing dirt roads, a powerline, and a small dilapidated agricultural building are located on
the property and will either be outside of proposed restoration areas, relocated, or removed completely
from the Parcel's footprint.
NCDWR representatives Katie Merritt and Chris Pullinger conducted an onsite determination for parcel
applicability and suitability on November 11, 2017. Following -up information was provided to Katie
Merritt on January 22, 2019 and a Site Viability for Buffer & Nutrient Offset was provided by the Division
on March 25, 2019 and revised on May 29, 2019 (Appendix B). A summary of parcel features, viability,
and their association with project phasing is provided in Table 3.

overhead utilities removed, and PING Line 24 has been constructed, & PING no longer needs their construction
easement.
1,s Historic Land Use
City of Greenville Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) Use:
The City of Greenville's Wastewater Treatment Plant is located at 240 Aqua Lane (approximately % mile
from the Site). The facility was originally built in 1985 as a 10.5 MGD, secondary treatment, activated
sludge plant. The facility was expanded in 1996 to tertiary treatment with a capacity of 17.5 MGD. The
expansion included Enhanced Biological Nutrient Removal, Biological Phosphorus Removal, Tertiary
Filtration, and Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection prior to releasing effluent into the receiving stream (Tar-
GUC Bank Parcel Development Plan

Pamlico River) under NPDES Permit #NC0023931. Residuals are currently managed by aerobic digestion,
belt filter presses and beneficially composted offsite (Class A) by a third party contractor.
Historically, the treatment facility produced —1,400 dry tons of biosolids annually. Class B biosolids were
irrigated over the WWTP Farm acreage (-330 Permitted — 700 Total) which was purchased in 1989 for
this purpose. From 1989 until 2004 biosolids were applied, coastal Bermuda and livestock were
managed on the property by Greenville Utilities Staff and farmers via annual lease agreements. With
increased requirements for land application based on plant available nitrogen (PAN) and regulatory
trends, land application of class B biosolids became a more challenging disposal option. In 2004, the
Greenville Utility Commission (GUC) elected to adopt a new biosolids management strategy and ceased
its biosolids land application program. The current management strategy utilizes a third -party
contractor, to haul dewatered biosolids to a regional composting facility in Chatham County. Since 2004,
the GUC has maintained the property in its 1989 — 2004 condition to once again irrigate Class B biosolids
waste again if desired. Coastal Bermuda grass has been maintained across the site, select herbicides
have been used to remove noxious and invasive herbaceous species, surface features have been
maintained, and the irrigation system has been kept in a working condition.

2,0 Project Area — Current Conditions
2.1 Physiography
The Parcel encapsulates a heavily modified headwater stream system within the Middle Atlantic Coastal
Plain. Specifically, Ecoregion IV - 63e Mid -Atlantic Flatwoods that occupies the middle portion of the
coastal plain in northern North Carolina and southern Virginia. Upland surfaces are wider, lower in
elevation, with less local relief, and have more poorly drained soils compared to Ecoregion 65m - Rolling
Coastal Plain (Griffith et al. 2002).
The watershed is dominated by agricultural land, fringe forests, and impervious surfaces associated
single family homes and roads — Figure 3 Appendix A. Surrounding area land use is primarily row -crop
agriculture, with some low density residential housing and cattle pasture.
2.2 Soils
A detailed soil report for the Parcel was produced using the Natural Resource Conservation Service's
(NRCS) Web Soil Survey. Based on the custom Pitt County report, the Parcel contains eleven soil series
outlined in Table 5. A detailed review of Parcel soils is provided in Appendix C.

2.3 Existing Vegetative Communities
Agricultural fields account for nearly 100 percent of the Parcel's current land use. These areas are
dominated by Costal Bermuda grass. Forests immediately adjacent to the Parcel and along the margins
of some Parcel features, have been heavily manipulated over the years and are mainly comprised of
primary successional species, i.e. red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and
tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). Minimal amounts of invasive species have been documented
within and adjacent to the Parcel and include Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and multiflora rose
(Rosa multiflora).
Undisturbed reference forest conditions adjacent to the site, or within a reasonable distance, could not
be located. Given the Parcels physiography and drained hydric soil condition, RS has determined a mix of
Brownwater Bottomland Hardwoods (High Subtype) and Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain
Subtype) is the most appropriate reference forest (Schafale, M.P. and A.S. Weakley. 2012). Table 6A and
6B outline the species included in this reference forest ecosystem.

2.4 Parcel Design and Implementation Constraints
The presence of conditions or characteristics that have the potential to hinder restoration activities on
the Parcel were evaluated. The evaluation focused primarily on the presence of hazardous materials,
utilities and restrictive easements, rare/threatened/endangered species or critical habitats, the
potential for hydrologic trespass, and existing utility easements. Existing information regarding Parcel
constraints was acquired and reviewed including an Environmental Records Report developed by
Environmental Data Resources Inc. which located no evidence of environmental risk associated with the
Parcel (Appendix D). In addition, any Parcel conditions that have the potential to restrict the restoration
and implementation were documented during the field investigation. A summary of findings is below.
As a result of our review and field surveys, no known Parcel constraints exist that may hinder proposed
restoration activities.
Potential constraints reviewed include the following;
2.4.1 Existing Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc. (PNG) Easements
Site parcels are subject to an existing 50-foot PNG Easement (D.B. 3075 Pg. 123-126 and D.B. 3075 Pg.
127-130 - Appendix D). The existing easement As for PNG Line 42, DWR Permit No. 2012-1024 v7, and
runs roughly east to west across the Bank Parcels. The proposed conservation easement for the Bank
Parcel excludes any area where the existing easement for Line 42 intersects with Parcel Features.
In addition, a new PNG easement and gas line (Line 24 — DWR 2018-1640 — 401 approval on 04-26-2019)
will begin construction in September 2019 and will likely be concluded two to three months later.
Construction associated with the Line 24 will require a temporary construction easement on a portion of
land slated to be incorporated into the Bank Parcel; subject areas fall within Phase 2 of the Parcel. Upon
completion of Line 24, and final PNG easement will be deeded, and the temporary construction
easement will be removed. At which time, RS will confirm the PNG easement, revise the Phase 2
easement as necessary, and record the permannt conservation easement for Phase 2.
GUC Bank Parcel Development Plan
Tar -Pamlico River Basin 8-Digit HUC: 03020103 pg. 6

Both PNG easements have been surveyed by a licensed land surveyor (John Rudolph — K2 Design Group:
L-4194), and will not be included in the Bank Parcel's conservation easement. Furthermore, IRS will apply
a 5-foot buffer from the PNG easement to the Bank Parcel's easement to prevent encroachment.
2.4.2 Existing Utility Line
Adjacent to Feature 6A, is a non-functioning GUC powerline, which runs to a dilapidated farm building
also located adjacent to Feature 6A (Phase 2). GUC will remove the powerline and abandon the 30-foot
utility easement prior to placement of the conservation easement associated with Phase 2 of the Bank
Parcel.
2,43 Threatened and Endangered Species
Species with the classification of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), or officially Proposed (P) for such
listing are protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended (16 U.S.0 1531 et
seq.). Five species are federally listed within the Parcel boundaries for Pitt County by the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) (USFWS 2008), and are listed below.

Trichechus manatus
Red -cockaded Woodpecker
Picoides borealis
Atlantic Pigtoe
Fusconaia masoni
Dwarf Wedgemussel
Alasmidonta heterodon

Elliptio steinstansana
Based on communications with the USFWS, there are no critical habitats within the project area. The
biological conclusion of the proposed mitigation activities is, no effect on species listed above and will
result in positive benefits for these species through improved habitat and water quality (Appendix D).
2.4.4 Cultural Resources
The term "cultural resources" refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites, structures, or artifact
deposits over 50 years old. "Significant" cultural resources are those that are eligible or potentially
eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Evaluations of site significance are made
with reference to the eligibility criteria of the National Register (36 CFR 60).
Field visits were conducted in February of 2019 to ascertain the presence of structures or features that
may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. No structures were found. An online search
using the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) Web GIS Service
(http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpowebA and the National Register of Historic Places GIS Search
(https://www.nps.gov/maps/full.html?mopld=7od17cc9-b808-4ff8-o2f9-o99909164466) identified zero
structures within the Parcel boundaries, or within 1 mile of the Parcel. Furthermore, communication
GUC Bank Parcel Development Plan
Tar -Pamlico River Basin 8-Digit HUC: 03020103 pg. 7

with the SHPO (Appendix D) concluded, "We have determined that the project as proposed will not have
an effect on any historic structures."
(Table 10C)
2v"2.4.5 Irrigation Infrastructure (Figure 4)
Irrigation infrastructure previously used for the irrigation of biosolids by the City of Greenville's
Wastewater Treatment Plant will remain on the property. All such infrastructure is located outside of
the proposed conservation easement areas. Landuse outside of the easement areas are expected to stay
in agriculture, and as such, the irrigation infrastructure will remain to support those activities. The use of
the subject tracts of land including the easement areas for biosolid application has not occurred since
2004, and will not occur within the easement at any point moving forward.
3,0 Restoration Plan
The primary goals associated with the restoration of riparian areas within the Bank Parcel will focus on
improving water quality, enhancing flood attenuation, and restoring wildlife habitat. The Project goals
for each Phase are identical, while the Restoration Plan for each differ only with regards to the removal
of existing infrastructure. These goals will be achieved through the creation of a forested riparian buffer
adjacent to stream channels and a forested riparian area along agricultural ditches. Goals will be
accomplished by the following.
1. Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural production, including a)
ceasing the broadcast application of class B biosolids, fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural
materials into and adjacent to Parcel surface water conveyances (ditches) and streams 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
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 re-establishing natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional
continuity.
7. Protecting the Parcel's riparian buffer functions and values in perpetuity.
Primary components of the Restoration Plan include: 1.) Removal of an existing, abandoned farm
building adjacent to feature 6B & removal of a powerline adjacent to features 6A and 613, 2.) Removal of
existing compacted earth roads adjacent to features 6A, 613, and 8, 3.) Removal of four culverts, 4.)
Parcel -wide soil preparation & herbaceous vegetation treatment, 5.) Riparian area restoration
(replanting) extending from the top of bank (TOB) out 200' where applicable and, 6.) Parcel protection in
perpetuity through a conservation easement. Table 8 details the Restoration Plan action associated with
each Phase.

3.2 Construction Activities (Figure 6)
Three primary construction activities will occur onsite, 1.) Removal of an existing, abandoned farm
building adjacent to feature 6B & removal of a powerline adjacent to features 6A and 6B, 2.) Removal of
existing compacted earth roads adjacent to features 6A, 6B, and 8, 3.) Removal of four culverts.
Upon the removal of the powerline, abandoned agricultural building, and existing compacted earth
roads, the Parcel will be treated to remove established coastal Bermuda grasses. A pre -emergent
herbicide will be used to treat existing seed sources of undesirable herbaceous species. The Parcel will
then be disked, and allowed to reset prior to planting. Based on observations and possible soil tests, RS
will be proactive to address areas where additional soil amendments may be required.
Four culverts will be removed, two between features 5 and 6A, and two between features 7B and 8.
Once removed, the side slopes will be graded to match existing slopes at approximately a five to one
(5:1) slope. Matting, native seed mix, and live stakes will be used to stabilize the stream banks and to
avoid erosion, providing long-term stability. Where necessary, black willow live stakes will be used to
naturally stabilize the banks throughout the Parcel for the long-term.

Prior to planting, Parcel areas, will be ripped and scarified in 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.
Impacts to Waters of the US as a result of construction activities are summarized in Table 9 below.

3.3 Permitting
Activities outlined above do not require a permit or written notification to any regulatory agencies, i.e.
US Army Corps of Engineers, NCDWR, FEMA, and/or Pitt County. Reasoning for each is summarized
below:
USACE —
Under no applicable USACE Permit do the construction activities summarized in Table 9 warrant
a USACE permit or consultation. Construction activities to Waters of the US will be far less than
thresholds which require consultation, i.e. 300 I. ft. to stream beds and 500 I. ft. to stream
banks.
(h ttp://www. saw. usace. arm y. m it/Missions/Req ul atory-Perm it-Program/Perm its/2017-
Na ti o n wi d e-Perm i
NCDWR —
Under no applicable NCDWR Permit do the construction activities summarized in Table 8
warrant a NCDWR permit or consultation. Parcel visits with NCDWR Staff were conduction on
November 11, 2017.
FEMA—
The Parcel is located within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) zone AE (1% annual chance of
flooding) and also Zone X (.2% annual chance of flooding) as a result of the Parcel's proximity to
Tar -Pamlico River (Flood Insurance Rate Map [FIRM] NC, Panel 5607 J, 5608 K, and 5617 J).
FEMA coordination/review is conducted at the county level. Regulated activities within mapped
FEMA areas are discussed under Pitt County Planning & Development Services Ordinance No. 4
(https://www. pittcountync. gov/DocumentCenter/View/797/Flood-Damage-Prevention-
Ordinance-PDF?bidld=). Pitt County ordinances are specifically tied to substantial improvements
or new construction / development, not the removal of structures. Furthermore, there is no
GUC Bank Parcel Development Plan
Tar -Pamlico River Basin 8-Digit HUC: 03020103 pg. 11

restriction on plowing, or planting trees within Zone AE or Zone X if baseline flood elevations
have been determined.
In summary, the Parcel is located in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area Zone AE and Zone X. Pitt
County, NC does not prohibit plowing and/or planting trees in such an area and therefore, FEMA
coordination is not required.
Land Quality: Sediment and Erosion Control —
The NC Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 governs all land disturbing activities except
agriculture and mining, which is regulated by the Mining Act of 1971. The restoration activities
proposed at the Parcel fall under the agricultural exemption. Light disking within the project
footprint will be done in a way that will reduce any excess runoff into waterbodies. A vegetated
strip along existing ditches and other waterbodies will be kept in place to further manage any
excess sediment from leaving the Parcel. The Parcel will be planted in temporary ground cover
for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events. The referenced Act is
provided in Appendix F.
3A Planting Plan
Restoration of the riparian area allows for recolonization and expansion of characteristic species across
the landscape. The riparian areas will be restored in accordance to 15A NCAC 02B .0295. The planting
plan for the entire riparian restoration area (Phase 1 and 2), includes planting native bare root
hardwood and shrub pare-reet saplings across 86.36 acres at a Parcel density of &9.9-750 stems per acre
(exeludiRg Shrub speeies) and live stakes for stream bank stabilization where necessary. Community
associations utilized in the proposed planting plan below include 1.) Brownwater Bottomland
Hardwoods (High Subtype) and 2.) Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain Subtype) (See Schafale
2012). Species composition is intentionally diverse and while based on these communities, also accounts
for local observations and nursery availability.
All species are proposed based on their ability for sediment stabilization, rapid growth rate, the ability to
withstand hydraulic forces associated with flood events, a4d--suitability to specific soil types, and site
conditions. Trees will be mixed thoroughly before planting to provide a diverse and random planting of
across the site. Planting will occur at Tees �004." "^ 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 one tree species will be greater than 50% of the established stems. Tree species proposed for
planting are detailed in Table 9A.
Site preparation will also be conducted to promote tree establishment and reduce potential competition
from non-native invasive species and other undesirable weedy species. Existing dense turf grasses will
be controlled to facilitate planting. This process will include the application of an herbaceous seed mix
including diverse native wildflowers and grasses which will serve as a nurse crop for the planted trees
and provide additional functional uplift to the site during its time as an open canopy stand.
Tables 10A and 1013 provide a detailed planting list broken out by Phase.

In addition to the above listed native hardwoods trees, the Sponsor proposes the planting of several
different species of native shrubs, aiding in the developing of a robust, ecologically sound riparian
buffer. Shrub species will count towards success criteria per the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule
15A NCAC 02B .0295 (November 1, 2015). It is anticipated that planting of shrub species will occur at an
average density of 53 stems per acre. Table 9&-10B details the type and amount of shrub species
identified for planting.

3.5 Parcel Protection & Easement Boundaries
Prior to the release of any credits, from either Phase, RS will record a permanent conservation easement
at the Pitt County Register of Deeds sufficient to ensure protection, operation and maintenance of
restored riparian buffers and other riparian areas in perpetuity.
The form of the conservation easement shall be consistent with the standards employed by the State of
North Carolina in the protection of restored riparian buffers and riparian areas and shall be approved by
the DWR prior to the release of any credits.
Parcel easement boundaries will be identified 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 Parcel conditions and/or conservation easement, and will be
installed before the submittal of the As -Built Report. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or
destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. The easement boundary will be
checked annually as part of monitoring activities and reported to NCDWR.
3.6 As -Built Report/s
An As -Built report/s will be submitted to DWR for both Project Phases (1 and 2) documenting the
completion of the Site's Restoration Plan. RS reserves the right to submit one As -Built Report to
document the completion of Site construction for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 if the construction of each
phase begins and ends at the same time. Or, RS must submit two separate As -Built Reports to document
the completion of Site construction for Phase 1 and for completion of Site construction for Phase 2 if
construction of the phases occurs at different times. All As -Built Reports shall reflect the Phase for which
it is being submitted.
4,0 Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
4.1 Monitoring Protocol & Success Criteria
Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation at each Phase will monitor plant survival and species
diversity. Quantitative sampling will include eighty-seven (87 [Phase 1 = 61 Plots & Phase 2 = 26)
permanent 10 x 10 meter vegetation plots as outlined in the CVS Level 1-2 Protocol for Recording
Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and will occur no earlier than PrApher Fall of each year (Figure
- Monitoring Plan). A reference photo will be taken from the origin point of each plot. All planted
stems in the plots will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. Data collected will include: species,
height, planting type (planted stem and/or volunteer). Monitoring of the restoration efforts will be
performed for five years or until success criteria are fulfilled. Restoration Systems shall submit to
NCDWR aa-annual monitoring reports for both Project Phases (1 and 2), no later than December 31st of
each year. Each Areport�q will document the success of the vegetation and any maintenance,
supplemental planting, or encroachment within the easement areas. Success criteria within the buffer
GUC Bank Parcel Development Plan
Tar -Pamlico River Basin 8-Digit HUC: 03020103 pg. 14

and nutrient offset restoration areas will be based on the survival of planted species at a density of 260
stems per acre after five years of monitoring. If monitoring for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 begin and end
at the same time, IRS may submit one monitoring report to represent both Phase 1 and Phase 2. All
monitoring reports shall reflect the specific Phase for which it is being submitted.
The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the end of the first growing season, at least five
months after planting has been completed.
4.2 Parcel Maintenance
A remedial action plan will be developed and implemented with the approval of NCDWR in the event
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 chemical methods (aquatic approved herbicide) in
accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.
If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must receive
approval by the DWR prior to any mowing activities within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the Neuse buffers along
UT2 to ensure that no buffer violations have been performed. Failure to receive approval to mow within
the Tar -Pamlico buffer as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0258 by the DWR, could result in Tar -Pamlico buffer
violations and violations of the conservation easement. If necessary, the Sponsor will develop a species -
specific control plan.
4.3 Long Term Management Plan
The conservation easement will preserve all areas, and prohibit all use of the property inconsistent with
its use as mitigation property, including any activity that would materially alter the biological integrity of
the Site/Parcel. IRS will transfer or assign the conservation easement and its interests in perpetuity to a
qualified holder under NC General Statute ("GS") 121-34 et seq. and 170(h) of the Internal Revenue
Code prior to the submittal of the Year 4 Monitoring Report. The holder shall be a land trust or

O
IRS will secure all financial assurances according to the MBI. IRS will secure a performance bond for
each phase of the Bank Parcel if applicable. No bond shall be less than $150,000 to cover costs of
construction and no less than $100,000 to cover monitoring expenses.
Monitoring bonds shall be renewed with confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each
annual monitoring report for each phase. DWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule
if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of bond renewals.
6,0 Mitigation Potential
DWR has determined the nitrogen and phosphorous abatement of restored riparian areas to be
2,273.02 lbs. per acre for nitrogen and 146.4 lbs. per acre for phosphorous as agreed to in the GUC MBI.
Riparian buffer credits will be measured by the hundredth of an acre and converted into square feet.
Mitigation potential for each Project Phase, is detailed below.
The Parcel will generate 86.36 acres of restored riparian area within a 97.09 acre Parcel. The Parcel will
preserve 3.205 acres.
Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, and 12B, outline the components and mitigation credits to be generated within
each Parcel Phase. Tar -Pamlico riparian buffer mitigation credit generated along Features 2, 6B, 7A, 7B,
& 8 (all unnamed tributaries) can be used for either riparian buffer credits or nutrient offset credits, but
not both. For purposes of this BPDP, IRS has chosen to designate the riparian areas from top -of -bank to
100' as Riparian Buffer Credit and areas from 101'-200' as Nutrient Offset Credit. Riparian Buffer Credits
can be converted and transferred to Nutrient Offset Credits on this Site. However, conversions of
Nutrient Offset Credits from areas 101'-200' to Riparian Buffer Credits will not occur.
Nutrient offset credits (nitrogen and phosphorous) generated along the two surface water conveyances
(ditches), Features 5 and 6A, are not able to be converted into buffer mitigation credits. IRS must request
and receive approval of the transfer of any mitigation credits from DWR prior to adding or removing
credits from the ledgers. The Sponsor will maintain three credit ledgers per Phase. One ledger will
account for riparian buffer credits, one will account for nitrogen nutrient offset credits, and one will
account for phosphorous nutrient offset credits. All mitigation credit assets shall be shown on these
credit ledgers.
