One unnamed channelized drainage feature that traverses the site exhibits diminished habitat value as a result of past and on -going agricultural activities. The site was identified by EBX-Neuse I, LLC as having potential to help meet the compensatory mitigation requirements for wetland impacts in hydrologic unit 03020201 of the Neuse River Basin. The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Project involves the restoration and enhancement of 41.24 acres of wetlands that had been disturbed by historic mining, agricultural activities, and active cattle grazing. The project presents 29.37 acres of wetland restoration and 11.87 acres of wetland enhancement, generating 32.51 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMU's). This mitigation project is the third of three phases. The Arrington Bridge I & II mitigation sites are located on the north side of Arrington Bridge Road; Arrington Bridge I is on the east side of John Road, and Arrington Bridge II is on the west side of John Road. These two buffer and nutrient mitigation sites are hydrologically connected to the Arrington Bridge III site. The three Arrington Bridge sites complement each other, and, together, confer a greater water quality benefit to the Neuse River than any one of the sites alone. The Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Project is located within the southern portion of the HUC and includes a channelized drainage feature that discharges into the Neuse River. Due to its location and improvements, the project provides numerous ecological and water quality benefits within the Neuse River Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the project area, others, such as pollutant removal and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat, have more far-reaching effects. Land use immediately surrounding the project includes pasture, sand mining, industrial, and forestry. The total easement area is 57.40 acres. Numerous old borrow pits, spoil, and fill areas adjacent to the restoration area are evidence of past sand mining operations. A small unnamed tributary enters the project from uplands to the north (Arrington Bridge I and II), flowing through a wooded buffer along the base of the terrace. The channel has been dredged and channelized throughout most of the project. Soil investigations show that much of the low-lying landscape exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow seasonal high water table. The site is located on a large inside meander of the Neuse River. There are three community types present within the project area: pasture, forest, and development. The restoration area was primarily pasture and forest and the enhancement areas are Cypress -Gum forests with shallow pools and marsh throughout. The objective for this restoration project is to restore a continuous bottomland wetland system and enhance the hydrology of existing wetlands. The design is based on reference conditions, USACE guidance (USACE, 2005), and criteria developed during this project to achieve success. Initial site design included the construction of three slough habitats to increase surface water storage and include patches of habitat more typical of reference Cypress -Gum Swamps. Through coordination with the Interagency Review Team (IRT) and the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (SJAFB), it was requested that the restoration design minimize standing water features that attract birds. Therefore, the slough features and Cypress -Gum Swamp wetlands have been removed from the design and the restoration plan is now exclusively Bottomland Hardwood Forest. Additional project objectives, such as restoring native vegetation, ensuring hydraulic stability, and eradicating invasive species, are listed in Section 1. The Arrington Bridge III Year 2 Monitoring activities were completed in September 2017. All Year 2 monitoring data is presented below and in the appendices. Data presented shows the site is performing as designed, apart from four underperforming vegetation plots. The site is on track to meeting hydrology success criteria, while 23 of 27 vegetation plots are on track to meet vegetation success criteria. Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site • USGS HUC 03020201 Year 2 Monitoring Report• Wayne County, North Carolina • September 2017 All 15 wetland hydrology gauges achieved the success criteria by remaining continuously within 12 inches of the soil surface for at least eight percent of the growing season. Groundwater gauge data indicate the hydroperiods being very responsive to rainfall events. Approximately 71 % of the total growing season was monitored during the Year 2 monitoring season. Year 2 monitoring data documented 23 of the 27 vegetation monitoring plots exceeded the interim success criteria of 320 stems per acre. The Site's average Year 2 planted stems per acre is 607.

To access the Site from the town of Goldsboro, travel south on NC HWY 117, and turn left onto Arrington Bridge Road (NC Highway 581). Turn right onto the dirt entrance road immediately after crossing the railroad tracks (approximately 0.15 miles). Turn left after 0.3 miles. In 0.1 miles, follow the left fork to access the northern end of the Site. Following the path to the right will lead to the middle and southern portions of the Site. The site is located in the Neuse River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03020201 (NCDWQ sub -basin 03- 04-12). The project is located within the Neuse River Basin (8-digit USGS HUC 03020201, 14-digit USGS HUC 03020201200040. 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Project provides numerous ecological and water quality benefits within the Neuse River Basin. While many of these benefits are limited to the project area, others, such as pollutant removal and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat, have more far-reaching effects. Expected improvements to water quality, hydrology, and habitat are outlined below. Design Goals and Objectives Benefits Related to Water Quality Benefit will be achieved through cattle exclusion and direct removal of fecal inputs, filtering of runoff Nutrient removal through wetland areas, the conversion of active cattle pastures to forested wetlands, and improved denitrification and nutrient uptake through wetland zones. Runoff filtration Benefit will be achieved through the restoration of buffer areas that will receive and filter runoff, thereby reducing nutrients and sediment concentrations reaching water bodies downstream. Benefits to Flood Attenuation Water storage Benefit will be achieved through the restoration of wetland areas which will infiltrate more water during precipitation events than under current site conditions. Improved groundwater Benefit will be achieved through the increased storage of precipitation in wetland areas, ephemeral recharge depressions, and reconnection of existing floodplain. Greater storage of water will lead to improved infiltration and groundwater recharge. Benefits Related to Ecological Processes Restoration of habitats Benefit will be achieved by restoring riparian wetland habitat to appropriate bottomland hardwood ecosystem. Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site • USGS HUC 03020201 Year 2 Monitoring Report- Wayne County, North Carolina • September 2017 1.3 Project Structure Arrington Bridge III Site Project Components — Wetland Mitigation Mitigation Type Total Acres Mitigation Ratio WMUs Enhancement 5.80 3:1 1.93 Enhancement Low 6.07 5:1 1.21 Restoration 29.37 1:1 29.37 Non -Wetland Buffer 16.62 N/A N/A TOTAL: 57.40 32.51 1.3.1 Wetland Restoration Type and Approach The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation project provides 32.51 wetland mitigation units through a combination of Wetland Restoration and two levels of Wetland Enhancement. The existing pasture areas on the Site are treated with Wetland Restoration at a credit ratio of 1:1. Wetland Restoration activities included: plugging the main channel and side ditches, removing fill, and regrading the area to reconstruct historical contours. A credit ratio of 3:1 was put in place for higher -uplift wetland enhancement areas, including a drained area of planted cypress, an excavated pond, and forested areas along the north side of the main ditch. A ratio of 5:1 was put in place for the lower -uplift wetland enhancement areas, which are primarily along the north side of the main ditch. Both levels of Wetland Enhancement were treated by enhancing the hydrology and providing long-term protection. This was accomplished by filling the ditches across the site to raise the water table and restore a more natural drainage pattern. Additionally, the pond was backfilled with the adjacent spoil pile and planted with trees and a permanent seed mix. Although this was restored to a wetland, it receives Enhancement credits at a ratio of 3:1 because the pond was already a jurisdictional feature. 1.3.1.1 Wetland Restoration Summary The primary wetland restoration activities included: • The backfilling and stabilizing of the main channelized drainage feature and existing side ditches; • The fill material on one of the access roads was removed and stabilized to restore the natural flow pattern, and the pond was backfilled with the adjacent spoil pile; • Areas of cut and fill were re -graded to create a continuous bottomland wetland system. Plugging ditches and main channelized drainage feature Plugging of the main feature and side ditches was accomplished through a combination of backfilling and the construction of ditch plugs throughout the easement area. Approximately 8,600 linear feet of open ditch was backfilled within the easement boundary. Ditches are filled, compacted, and graded to the adjacent floodplain elevation. Typical ditch plugs are 20 feet wide and extend above the top of the ditch bank elevation a minimum of 6 inches. Plugs are constructed of compacted fill placed in 12-inch lifts with the upper 18 inches minimally compacted to allow for plant growth. Plugs are spaced such that successive plugs are no more than 6 inches in elevation below one another. At the point of departure from the conservation easement, a headwater -type channel is graded to the existing ditch elevation. When possible, ditch plugs are constructed using excavated material from the restoration and construction of wetland pools. Fill Removal, Pond BaclSll, and regrading ofsite Disturbed soils underlain by hydric soils (as described in the soils report) were graded to allow for a more natural hydrologic regime and function. Additionally, the fill material on the access roads was removed to restore the natural flow pattern of the site. The restoration site is very gently sloping (less than one percent) but does contain approximately three feet of elevation difference across the site. Several decades of agricultural management and mining operations has eliminated microtopography Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site • USGS HUC 03020201 Year 2 Monitoring Report- Wayne County, North Carolina • September 2017 across the site. As outlined in the soils report located in the Mitigation Plan, approximately 12.6 acres of the project area is described as disturbed soils having hydric indicators and lacking wetland hydrology. These included large areas in a lower landscape position located adjacent to visible borrow pits. The soils in these areas had variable textures that were exhibiting hydric indicators. All of this area was in pasture and being grazed by cattle. One excavated pond is backfilled with soil from the adjacent spoil pile. The filled pond is considered enhancement due to the jurisdictional status of the existing open water habitat. The entire conservation easement was disked to break up the plow layer, increase surface roughness, and promote infiltration. 1.3.1.2 Proposed Wetland Hydrology The Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Site was once a Cypress Gum Swamp wetland subject to prolonged inundation as indicated by soils mapping, historical aerial photography, and personal communication with landowners. By 1974, the area was cleared, much of the borrow removed, and conversion of area to agricultural production was occurring. The ditch system was mostly in place. The restoration plan for the site consisted of filling and stabilizing ditches, converting active pasture to a bottomland wetland system, restoring bottomland hardwood forests, and enhancing the hydrology of existing wetlands. The backfilling and plugging of ditches lengthens wetland hydroperiods by halting artificial subsurface drainage and preventing rapid surface drainage. Periodic flooding is vital to sustain plants and wildlife characteristic of riverine wetlands (Ainslie, 2002). The drainage area for the project area is approximately 0.63 square miles. The restored wetlands have a variable flooding regime due to the small size of the drainage area 1.4 Project History, Mitigation Bank Establishment, Contacts and Attribute Data 1.4.1 Project History The Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site was restored by EBX Neuse I, LLC (EBX). EBX is an entity of Resource Environmental Solutions LLC (RES). Tables 2, 3, and 4 (Appendix A) provide a time sequence and information pertaining to the project activities, history, contacts, and baseline information. EBX, acting as the Bank Sponsor, established a Conservation Easement (CE) and will monitor the Site for a minimum of seven years. The Mitigation Plan provides detailed information regarding bank operation, including long term management and annual monitoring activities. The Bank Sponsor has conveyed the CE to the long-term land steward, the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation (NCWHF). The Bank Sponsor will ensure that the conveyed CE will allow for the implementation of an initial monitoring phase, which will be developed during the design phase and conducted by the Bank Sponsor. The conveyed CE will allow for yearly monitoring and, if necessary, maintenance of the Site during the yearly monitoring phases. These activities will be conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Neu -Con Wetland and Stream Umbrella Mitigation Bank made and entered into by EBX, USACE, and NCDWR. 1.4.2 Project Watersheds The easement totals 57.40 acres with one unnamed tributary entering the easement and draining into a channelized wetland ditch, which runs the length of the easement. The total drainage area at the downstream limits of the project is 403 acres (0.63 mi2). The land use in the project watershed is approximately 41 percent cultivated cropland, 18 percent pasture, 16 percent forested, eight percent residential, eight percent commercial, and seven percent managed open space. Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site • USGS HUC 03020201 Year 2 Monitoring Report- Wayne County, North Carolina • September 2017 2 SUCCESS CRITERIA The success criteria for the Arrington Bridge III Site follows accepted and approved success criteria presented in the North Carolina Wetland Mitigation Guidelines and subsequent agency guidance. Specific success criteria components are presented below. 2.1 Wetland Success Criteria 2.1.1 Wetland Hydrology Criteria The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has a current WETS table for Wayne County upon which to base a normal rainfall amount and average growing season. The closest comparable data station was determined to be WETS station NC713 Goldsboro S Johnson AFB. This station is located at the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base approximately 1.5 miles east of the proposed mitigation site. The growing season for Wayne County is 262 days long, extending from March 4 to November 21, and is based on a daily minimum temperature greater than 28 degrees Fahrenheit occurring in five of ten years. Because of the surface roughing and shallow depressions, a range of hydroperiods and inundation is expected. The hydrology success criterion for the site is to restore the water table at the site so that it will remain continuously within 12 inches of the soil surface for at least eight percent of the growing season (approximately 21 days) at each groundwater gauge location. Restoration and enhancement wetland gauge data is compared to reference wetland gauge data in growing seasons with less than normal rainfall. In periods of low rainfall, if a restoration gauge hydroperiod exceeds the reference gauge hydroperiod, and both exceed five percent of the growing season, then the gauge will be deemed successful. If a gauge location fails to meet these success criteria in the seven year monitoring period, then monitoring may be extended, remedial actions may be undertaken, or the limits of wetland restoration will be determined. 2.2 Vegetation Success Criteria Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the wetland areas on the site follows IRT Guidance. Vegetation monitoring plots are a minimum of 0.02 acres in size, and cover a minimum of two percent of the planted area. Vegetation monitoring occurs annually in the fall of each year. The measures of vegetative success for the site vary based on the planting zones outlined in the mitigation plan. The interim measures of vegetative success for the planted areas in the site is the survival of at least 320 planted three-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3 and 260 five-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 5. The final vegetative success criteria is the survival of 210 trees per acre at the end of Year 7 of the monitoring period. Survival is determined at the plot level, not averaged at the site level. No areas are planted with more than 50 percent of one species comprising the total composition. In addition, planted vegetation should show a general trend toward successful establishment of the target communities with vigor and height growth. Specific height criteria are not specified due to the variability of species and site conditions. 2.3 Scheduling/Reporting The Bank Sponsor follows the guidance document published by NC DMS, "Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and/or Wetland Mitigation" dated November 7, 2011 and the 2003 USACE Stream Mitigation Guidelines. Due to the fact that this project is a private mitigation Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site • USGS HUC 03020201 Year 2 Monitoring Report- Wayne County, North Carolina • September 2017 bank and not an NC DMS project, monitoring documents follow DMS guidelines only to the extent necessary for IRT approval. A monitoring report will be generated by December 31 st of each monitoring year documenting activities of the site, and submitted to the IRT. The monitoring program is implemented to document system development and progress toward achieving the success criteria. The monitoring program will be undertaken for seven years or until the final success criteria are achieved, whichever is longer. 3 MONITORING PLAN Annual monitoring data is reported using the IRT monitoring template. The monitoring report provides a project data chronology that facilitates an understanding of project status and trends, research purposes, and assists in decision making regarding project close-out. The success criteria for the Arrington Bridge III site follows current accepted and approved success criteria presented in the North Carolina Wetland Mitigation Guidelines, and subsequent agency guidance. Specific success criteria components are presented in the table below. Monitoring reports will be prepared annually and submitted to the IRT. Monitoring Requirements Required Parameter Quantity Frequency Notes Yes Groundwater Groundwater gauges Quarterly Groundwater monitoring gauges Hydrology distributed throughout the with data recording devices will site be installed on site; the data will be installed on site; the data will be downloaded on a quarterly basis during the growing season. Yes Vegetation A representative coverage of Semi-annual Vegetation will be monitored planted vegetation area. using the Carolina Vegetation Survey CVSprotocols Yes Exotic and Nuisance Semi-annual Locations of exotic and nuisance Vegetation vegetation will be mapped. Yes Project Boundary Semi-annual Locations of fierce damage, vegetation damage, boundary encroachments, etc. will be mapped Yes Wetland Visual Quarterly Quarterly visual assessments 3.1 Visual Assessment Monitoring Visual monitoring of all mitigation areas is conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring year by qualified individuals. The visual assessments include vegetation density, vigor, invasive species, and easement encroachments. Digital images are taken at fixed representative locations to record each monitoring event, as well as any noted problem areas or areas of concern. Results of visual monitoring are presented in a plan view exhibit with a brief description of problem areas and digital images. Photographs are used to subjectively evaluate surface hydrology, success of vegetation, and effectiveness of erosion control measures. A series of photos over time should indicate successional maturation of vegetation. 3.2 Vegetation Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size, and cover a minimum of two percent of the planted area. The following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. Monitoring occurs each year during the monitoring period. Invasive and noxious species are monitored and controlled so that none become dominant or Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site • USGS HUC 03020201 Year 2 Monitoring Report- Wayne County, North Carolina • September 2017 alter the desired community structure of the site. If necessary, RES will develop a species -specific control plan. Invasive and noxious species are monitored and controlled so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site. Table 6 (Appendix B) provides a success summary for each vegetation monitoring plot. 4 MAINTENANCE AND CONTINGENCY PLAN All identified problematic areas or areas of concern such as wetland hydrology not meeting success criteria, erosion/instability, aggradation/degradation, lack of targeted vegetation, and invasive/exotic species which prevent the site from meeting performance success criteria will be evaluated on a case by case basis. The USACE will be notified if monitoring or other information indicates that the Bank Site, or a portion of a Bank Site, is not progressing as anticipated towards meeting the site specific performance standards as defined in the Mitigation Plan. In such an event the USACE will be provided with recommendations for adaptive management measures, which may include site modifications, design changes, revisions to maintenance requirements, and revised monitoring requirements. USACE approval will be obtained prior to conducting any adaptive management activities. 4.1 Wetlands Any wetland problem areas which are identified during post construction monitoring activities will be documented and mapped on the Current Conditions Plan View (CCPV) as part of the annual monitoring report. Wetland problem areas may include planted vegetation or wetland hydrology not meeting success criteria. If it is determined through IRT correspondence that remedial action is required to repair an area, a proposed work plan will be submitted for remediation. No wetland hydrology problems or concerns were documented during Year 2 monitoring activities. 4.2 Vegetation Any vegetation problem areas which are identified during post construction monitoring activities will be documented and mapped on the Current Conditions Plan View (CCPV) as part of the annual stream monitoring report. Vegetation problem areas or areas of concern may include a vegetation plot not meeting success criteria, invasive species abundance, sparse vegetation areas, etc. If it is determined through IRT correspondence that remedial action is required to repair an area, a proposed work plan will be submitted for remediation. Vegetation problems were documented during Year 2 monitoring activities and include four vegetation plots (VPs 13, 20, 21, 24) that are not on track to meeting the vegetation success criteria of 320 planted stems per acre. 5 MONITORING YEAR 2 (MY-2) The Arrington Bridge III Mitigation Site Year 2 monitoring activities were completed in September 2017. All Year 2 monitoring data is present below and in the appendices. Data presented shows the site has remained stable throughout Year 2 and is on track to meeting hydrology interim success criteria, while 23 of 27 vegetation plots are on track to meeting vegetation interim success criteria. 5.1 Year 2 Data Collection 5.1.1 Hydrology Wetland hydrology is monitored with fifteen automatic recording pressure transducer gauges that have been installed in representative locations across the wetland restoration areas. Two reference wetland hydrology gauges were installed in reference wetland areas. An onsite rain gauge is also installed to Arrington Bridge III Wetland Mitigation Site • USGS HUC 03020201 Year 2 Monitoring Report- Wayne County, North Carolina • September 2017 document rainfall events. Monitoring Year 2 wetland hydrology gauge data is documented in Appendix B. Year 2 wetland hydrology data show the site is performing as planned and is trending toward targeted wetland hydroperiods. During Year 2, wetland hydrology was monitored through September 7th. All wetland hydrology gauges met the hydrology success criteria of remaining continuously within 12 inches of the soil surface for at least eight percent of the growing season (approximately 21 days) at each groundwater gauge location during Year 2 monitoring. Recorded rainfall data shows the site was below or within normal limits except three months out of the sampled time. During April, May and June, the site recorded above average rainfall. 5.1.2 Vegetation Based on the Year 2 vegetation monitoring, 23 of the 27 vegetation monitoring plots exceeded the interim success criteria of 320 stems per acre after year 3 monitoring. The Site's average Year 2 planted stems per acre is 607. (Table 6, Appendix B). Table 7 (Appendix C) provides a more detailed summary of stem counts and the type of planted species within each vegetation monitoring plot. The number of planted stems per acre for the monitoring plots range from 243 stems to 1,214 stems. The average stems per vegetation plot was 15 planted stems. The minimum planted stems per plot was 6 stems and the maximum was 30 stems per plot. 5.1.3 Photo Documentation Permanent photo point locations are established at each vegetation plot by Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC staff. Any additional problem areas or areas of concern will also be documented with a digital photograph during monitoring activities. Digital photographs of the site's condition and vegetation plots can be found in Appendix B. 5.2 Adaptive Management During Hurricane Matthew, a tree fell and damaged a gate along the southern boundary of the easement. This gate was fixed in the spring of 2017. Also during this time leftover bald cypresses were planted in the areas on site with prolonged inundation. Unfortunately, this prolonged inundation has affected tree survival across the site and we are investigating ways to reduce it and will replant in 2018. Additionally, in response to a site visit in May 2017 with USACE, the 18-24" deep ponded area on site will be filled with soil and planted to encourage vegetation growth.
