DMS ID (CRM) # 95713
Wake County
Buffer Mitigation Site
The Pepperwood Farm closeout site visit was completed with Katie Merritt, the, NC DEQ
DWR Buffer Program Coordinator, on 6/18/2019. A total of 466, 092 BMUs were proposed for
closure during the site visit. DWR indicated that the site may be closed upon resolution of the
following condition(s):
1. Buffer restoration in the area upstream of the road bisecting Ut 2 does not appear to be
meeting the stem density requirement and must be addressed. Two options were proposed:
• Reduce credit in this area to reflect buffer enhancement at 2:1
• Supplemental planting to address reduced stem density. The planted stem density
will be based on in -field survey of existing density; containerized native hardwood
stems will be used to supplement existing vegetation and planted at a density to
address estimated mortality. No extended monitoring will be required.
Resnlntiow
1. The low stem density area identified totaled 0.78 acres. Restoration Systems planted a
total of 125 3-gallon containerized stems comprised of rive native species (Quercus phellos,
Quercus nigra, Ulmus Americana, Betula nigra, Linodendron tulipifera) on 11/21 —
11/22/19. Please find a detailed remedial action plan attached.
Recommendation:
DMS recommends closure of Pepperwood with 466,092 buffer mitigation units.

Closeout & Supplemental Planting Plan
Dear Ms. Allen —
Regarding the July 18, 2019 site visit for Restoration Systems' Pepperwood Farm Riparian Buffer
Mitigation Site, RS implemented the agreed -upon adaptive management plan on November 21, 2019. This
letter and attached photo log, detail the work completed. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Final Remedial Plan Specifics
- Area of Concern = .78 acres
- Total number of species planted = 125
- Installation dates. 11/21/19 — 11/22/19
- An even mix of species was distributed throughout the entire area of concern.
- Pink marking flags were used to illustrate re -planted stems.

Inter -agency Site Visit:
Pepperwood Farm Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site
Contract# 004946, EEP Project ID: 95713, RFP: 16-004362
An initial Site visit was conducted on November 8t1i of 2012. Representatives from the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) included Katie Merritt and Martin Richmond. Other attendees were
Raymond Holz of Restoration Systems, Grant Lewis of Axiom Environmental and with Jessica Kemp of
the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program. A number of the initially proposed features were
ruled not subject to the NC Riparian Buffer Mitigation Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The meeting is
described in detail in the attached e-mail from Karen Higgins of the DWQ Wetlands, Buffers, Stormwater
Compliance and Permitting Unit dated November 28t", 2012. Also included is a surface water
determination letter (NBRRO#12-217) provided by Martin Richmond.
As a result Restoration Systems requested an additional Site visit to evaluate an additional feature which
was not evaluated during the November 2012 Site visit. On January 18th of 2013 Martin Richmond of the
DWQ and Guy Pearce of the EEP evaluated the additional feature (0) and also reassessed Feature 2B.
Both were deemed subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer mitigation Rules. Martin Richmond
provided a revised surface water determination letter which is included.
No other issues were of concern.

Re: Site Viability for Mitigation - Pepperwood Farm RFP
Wake County
Dear Ms. Kemp,
Martin Richmond and Katie Merritt from the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) were asked by NCEEP
to visit the above -referenced site on November 8, 2012. The subject site is an RFP with an awarded
contract between NCEEP and Restoration Systems. The focus of our review was to determine the site's
potential for nutrient offset and Neuse riparian buffer mitigation for the purpose of generating mitigation
credits. Mr. Richmond performed a stream buffer determination (NBRRO #12-217) and has submitted a
letter to NCEEP showing all streams onsite that are subject to the Neuse River Buffer Rules. If
approved, mitigating this site could provide both Neuse riparian buffer credits and nutrient offset credits
within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020201 of the Neuse River Basin. However, nutrient
offset credits generated at this site cannot be used toward offsetting impacts in the Falls Lake
Watershed.
The site appeared to be a good candidate for planting Neuse riparian buffers (0-50 feet from the top of
bank) for riparian buffer credits or nutrient offset credits. Additionally, there were other riparian areas
(0-200 feet from top of bank) that were good candidates for nutrient offset only. A map detailing the
features and their respective mitigation options is attached.
A mitigation plan must be provided to Ms. Merritt detailing the riparian buffer and nutrient offset
restoration for review and approval prior to initiating the project. Once the project is complete, an as -
built report must be provided to Ms. Merritt for review and approval showing the total Neuse riparian
buffer credits and nutrient offset credits that were generated through the restoration efforts. Please
provide riparian buffer credits generated in both acres and square feet. Please provide nutrient offset
credits generated in both acres and pounds. Monitoring reports shall follow the as -built reports to
provide DWQ a means of tracking the project's restoration success for a period of at least five years.
DWQ appreciates the opportunity to participate in rip -front evaluations of potential buffer and nutrient
offset projects.
