Signature Print Name:* Timothy M Aldinger Signature:* Version December 2016 AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH THE MIDDLE NEUSE STREAM AND WETLAND UMBRELLA MITIGATION BANK IN THE NEUSE RIVER BASIN WITHIN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA USACE approval of this Instrument constitutes the regulatory approval required for the Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank to be usedto provide compensatory mitigation for Department of the Army permits pursuant to 33 C.F.R. 332.8(a)(1). This Instrument is not a contract between the Sponsor or Property Owner and the USACE or any other agency of the federal government. Any dispute arising under this Instrument will not give rise to any claim by the Sponsor or Property Owner for monetary damages. This provision is controlling notwithstanding any other provision or statement in the Instrument to the contrary. This Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) is made and entered into on the day of , 20 , by Weyerhaeuser NR Company, hereinafter Sponsor, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), and each of the following agencies, upon its execution of this UMBI; the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). The Corps, together with the State and Federal agencies that execute this UMBI, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Interagency Review Team (IRT). WHEREAS the purpose of this agreement is to establish an umbrella mitigation bank (Bank) providing compensatory mitigation for unavoidable wetland and/or stream impacts separately authorized by Section 404 Clean Water Act permits and /or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act permits in appropriate circumstances; WHEREAS the agencies comprising the IRT agree that the Bank sites are suitable mitigation bank sites, and that implementation of the Mitigation Plans are likely to result in net gains in wetland and/or stream functions at the Bank sites, and have therefore approved the Mitigation Plans; THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed among the parties to this agreement that the following provisions are adopted and will be implemented upon signature of this UMBI. Section L• General Provisions A. The Sponsor is responsible for assuring the success of the restoration, creation, enhancement and preservation activities at the Bank sites, and for the overall operation and management of the Bank. The Sponsor assumes the legal responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation once a permittee secures credits from the Sponsor and the District Engineer (DE) receives documentation that confirms the Sponsor has accepted responsibility for providing the required compensatory mitigation. The goals of the Umbrella Bank sites are to restore, enhance, create and preserve wetland and stream systems and their functions to compensate in appropriate circumstances for unavoidable wetland and stream impacts authorized by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act permits and or Version December 2016 Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act permits in circumstances deemed appropriate by the Corps after consultation, through the permit review process, with members of the IRT. B. Use of credits from the Bank to offset wetland and stream impacts authorized by Clean Water Act permits must be in compliance with the Clean Water Act and implementing regulations, including but not limited to the 404(b)(1) Guidelines, the National Environmental Policy Act, and all other applicable Federal and State legislation, rules and regulations. This agreement has been drafted in accordance with the regulations for Compensatory Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic Resources effective June 9, 2008 (33 CFR Parts 325 and 332) (Mitigation Rule). C. The IRT shall be chaired by the DE of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District (District). The IRT shall review documentation for the establishment of mitigation bank sites. The IRT will also advise the DE in assessing monitoring reports, recommending remedial measures, approving credit releases, and approving modifications to this instrument. The IRT's role and responsibilities are more fully set forth in Sections 332.8 of the Mitigation Rule. The IRT will work to reach consensus on its actions. D. The DE, after consultation with the appropriate Federal and State review agencies through the permit review process, shall make final decisions concerning the amount and type of compensatory mitigation to be required for unavoidable, permitted wetland and/or stream impacts, and whether or not the use of credits from the Bank is appropriate to offset those impacts. In the case of permit applications and compensatory mitigation required solely under the Section 401 Water Quality Certification rules of North Carolina, the NCDWR will determine the amount of credits that can be withdrawn from the Bank. Any credits used to offset impacts solely authorized by Section 401 cannot be used for other impacts authorized under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. E. The parties to this agreement understand that a watershed approach to establish compensatory mitigation must be used to the extent appropriate and practicable. Where practicable, in -kind compensatory mitigation is preferred. Section IL• Geographic Service Area The Geographic Service Area (GSA) is the designated area within which the Umbrella Bank is authorized to provide compensatory mitigation required by DA permits. The GSA for this Bank shall include the Middle Neuse Hydrologic Unit 03020202 in North Carolina. Credits are to be used in the same HUC in which they were generated, and credits within each HUC should be tracked on separate ledgers. 2 Version December 2016 Section III: Mitigation Plan Any Mitigation Plan submitted pursuant to this agreement must contain the information listed in 332.4(c) (2) through (14) of the Compensatory Mitigation Rule. A. The Sponsor will perform work described in each site -specific approved Mitigation Plan. B. The Sponsor shall monitor the Bank Sites as described in the approved Mitigation Plans, until such time as the IRT determines that the performance standards described in the Mitigation Plans have been met. C. Mitigation Plans submitted for inclusion in this bank must meet the requirements of any District guidance that is current at the time the new site is submitted to the District, including any updates made to monitoring requirements, credit releases, long term management, or any other provisions that are required and/or specifically addressed in the Mitigation Plan. The addition of any site to this instrument shall be considered as a modification to this instrument, and processed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Mitigation Rule. D. The members of the IRT will be allowed reasonable access to the Property for the purposes of inspection of the Property and compliance monitoring of the Mitigation Plan. Section IV: Re on rting A. The Sponsor shall submit to the DE, for distribution to each member of the MT, an annual report describing the current condition of the Bank Sites and the condition of the Bank Sites in relation to the performance standards in the Mitigation Plans. The Sponsor shall provide to the DE any monitoring reports described in the Mitigation Plans. B. As part of each annual monitoring report, the Sponsor shall also provide ledger reports documenting credit transactions as described in Section VIII of this UMBI. C. Each time an approved credit transaction occurs, the Sponsor shall provide notification to the DE within 30 days of the transaction. This notification shall consist of a summary of the transaction and a full ledger report reflecting the changes from the transaction. Additionally, signed copies of the Compensatory Mitigation Transfer of Responsibility Form shall be submitted to the Corps Project Manager for the permit and the Corps Bank Manager for the bank site. Section V: Remedial Action A. The DE shall review the monitoring reports, as required in the Mitigation Plans, and may, at any time, after consultation with the Sponsor and the IRT, direct the Sponsor to take remedial action at the Bank sites. Remedial actions required by the DE shall be designed to achieve the performance standards as specified in the Mitigation Plan(s). All remedial actions Version December 2016 required under this section shall include a work schedule and monitoring criteria that will take into account physical and climactic conditions. B. The Sponsor shall implement any remedial measures required pursuant to the above. C. In the event the Sponsor determines that remedial action may be necessary to achieve the required performance standards, it shall provide notice of such proposed remedial action to all members of the IRT. No remedial actions shall be taken without the concurrence of the DE, in consultation with the IRT. Section VI: Use of Mitigation Credits A. Description of credit classifications and provisions pertaining to the use of those credits shall be provided in the Mitigation Plans to be included in this bank. Credit classifications (e.g., cold water stream, cool water stream, warm water stream, coastal wetlands, non -riparian wetlands, riparian non-riverine wetlands, and riparian riverine wetlands) will be in accordance with current District guidance at the time the Mitigation Plan is submitted to the District. In general, these classifications will be used to determine if a particular credit qualifies as "In - Kind" mitigation. Exceptions to the use of "In -Kind" mitigation may be allowed at the discretion of the permitting agencies on a case -by -case basis. B. Wetland and stream compensation ratios are determined by the DE on a case -by -case basis based on considerations of functions of the wetlands and/or streams impacted, the severity of the wetland and/or stream impacts, the relative age of the mitigation site, whether the compensatory mitigation is in -kind, and the physical proximity of the wetland and/or stream impacts to the Bank Site. C. Notwithstanding the above, all decisions concerning the appropriateness of using credits from the Bank to offset impacts to waters and wetlands, as well as all decisions concerning the amount and type of such credits to be used to offset wetland and stream impacts authorized by Department of the Army permits, shall be made by the DE, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and implementing regulations and guidance. These decisions may include notice to and consultation with the members of the IRT through the permit review process if the DE determines this to be appropriate given the scope and nature of the impact. Section VII: Credit Release Schedule A. All credit releases must be approved in writing by the DE, following consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required performance standards have been achieved. B. A credit release schedule shall be provided in each site -specific Mitigation Plan that is included in this bank. The release schedule will list all of the proposed credit releases and any performance standards associated with those releases. C. In general, the initial allocation of credits from any site included as part of this bank shall be available for sale only after the completion of all of the following: 4 Version December 2016 1. Execution of this UMBI by the Sponsor, the DE, and other agencies eligible for membership in the IRT who choose to execute this agreement, to include the approval of any modifications to this agreement when new sites are added to it; 2. Approval of a final Mitigation Plan; 3. Confirmation that the mitigation bank site has been secured; 4. Delivery of executed financial assurances as specified in the site -specific Mitigation Plan; 5. Delivery of a copy of the recorded long-term protection mechanism as described in as specified in the site -specific Mitigation Plan, as well as a title opinion covering the property acceptable to the DE; and 6. Issuance of any DA permits necessary for construction of the mitigation site (if necessary). The Sponsor must initiate implementation of the approved Mitigation Plans no later than the first full growing season after the date of the first credit transaction (i.e., construction of the initial physical and biological improvements proposed in the approved Mitigation Plans must be started by the end of the first full growing season following the initial sale of any credits from the Bank). This provision does not apply to preservation -only sites that do not include any physical or biological improvements. Subject to the Sponsor's continued satisfactory completion of all required performance standards and monitoring, additional restoration mitigation credits will be available for sale by the Sponsor as specified in the final Mitigation Plan. Section VI11: Accounting Procedures A. The Sponsor shall develop accounting procedures acceptable to the DE for maintaining accurate records of debits made from the Bank. Such procedures shall include the generation of a ledger by the Sponsor showing credits used at the time they are debited from the Bank. All ledger reports shall identify credits debited and remaining by type of credit and shall include for each reported debit the Corps ORM ID number for the permit for which the credits were utilized and the permitted impacts for each resource type. B. When credits from the bank are sought by a permit applicant, the Sponsor shall prepare a reservation letter for the applicant to include with the Corps permit application, that documents the number and type of credits available to be debited from the bank, and the amount of time (if any) that those credits will be held for that applicant (with an expiration date for the letter of availability). C. Each time an approved credit transaction occurs, the Sponsor shall notify the DE within 30 days of the transaction with a summary of the transaction and a full ledger report showing the changes made. Signed copies of the Transfer of Mitigation Responsibility form shall also be submitted to the Corps permit Project Manager and the Corps Bank Manager for that bank. D. The Sponsor shall prepare an annual ledger report, on each anniversary of the date of execution of this agreement, showing all credits used, any changes in credit availability (e.g., additional credits released, credit sales, suspended credits, etc.), and the beginning and ending Version December 2016 balance of remaining credits. The Sponsor shall submit the annual report to the DE, for distribution to each member of the IRT, until such time as all of the credits have been utilized, or this agreement is otherwise terminated. Section IX: Financial Assurances A. Financial assurances for the Bank sites will be detailed in the site -specific Mitigation Plans. The Sponsor shall provide financial assurances in a form acceptable to the DE, sufficient to assure completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and monitoring, and any remedial work required pursuant to this UMBI. The financial assurance value should be based on the cost of doing the mitigation work, including costs for land acquisition, planning and engineering, legal fees, mobilization, construction, and monitoring. For preservation only Bank Sites, no financial assurances will generally be required unless there are specific activities necessary to ensure the successful preservation of resources on the site, in which case appropriate financial assurances may still be required. B. All financial assurances shall be made payable to a standby trust or to a third -party designee, acceptable to the Corps, who agrees to complete the project or provide alternative mitigation. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the Corps in the event of default by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. C. The form and amount of financial assurances must be stated in the site -specific Mitigation Plans in order for the Mitigation Plan to be approved. This must include the name of the specific provider of those assurances and the method by which the financial assurances will be provided in the event that they must be utilized. Original copies of the financial assurance documents must be provided to the DE prior to the initial release of credits. D. A financial assurance must be in the form that ensures that the DE receives notification at least 120 days in advance of any termination or revocation. Section X: Site Protection A. The Sponsor shall grant a Conservation Easement (CE) in form acceptable to the DE, sufficient to protect the Bank Sites in perpetuity. The CE shall be perpetual, preserve all natural 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 or functional and educational value of wetlands or streams within the Bank Site, consistent with the Mitigation Plan. The purpose of the CE will be to assure that future use of the Bank Site will result in the restoration, protection, maintenance and enhancement of wetland and/or stream functions described in the Mitigation Plan. The name and contact information for the Corps approved easement holder and a draft copy of the CE will be provided in the site -specific Mitigation Plans. B. The Sponsor shall deliver a title opinion acceptable to the DE covering the mitigation property. The property shall be free and clear of any encumbrances that would conflict with its use as mitigation, including, but not limited to, any liens that have priority over the recorded CE. ro Version December 2016 C. Subsequent to the recording of the CE, the Sponsor may convey the Bank Site property either in fee or by granting an easement to a qualified land trust, state agency, or other appropriate nonprofit organization approved by the Corps. The Sponsor is responsible for ensuring that the CE is re -recorded so that it remains within the chain of title. The terms and conditions of this conveyance shall not conflict with the intent and provisions of the CE nor shall such conveyance enlarge or modify the uses specified in the easement. The CE must contain a provision requiring 60 day advance notification to the DE before any action is taken to void or modify the CE, including transfer of title to, or establishment of any other legal claims over, the project site. Section XI: Long-term Management A. The Sponsor shall implement the long-term management plan as described in the site - specific Mitigation Plans. The Bank Sponsor, Weyerhaeuser NR Company, will serve as the long-term manager for each mitigation site addended to thebank. Contact information is as follows: Weyerhaeuser NR Company Attn: Doug Hughes 406 Cole Road Hattiesburg, MS 39402 601 341 6054 B. The long-term management plan will include a list of annual maintenance, monitoring, and/or repair activities for each mitigation site, the associated annual cost for each activity, and the required total amount necessary to provide all future site management. The long-term management plan should explain how the funds will be managed and provided to the designated long-term manager (e.g., an endowment managed through a separate account holder). The long- term management plan should include a contingency section that addresses how the responsibility and funding for the long-term site management will be passed on to a new manager in the event that the selected long-term management entity is no longer able to provide for management of the site. Section XII: Default and Closure A. It is agreed to establish and maintain the Bank sites until (i) credits have been exhausted or banking activity is voluntarily terminated with written notice by the Sponsor provided to the DE and other members of the IRT; and (ii) it has been determined and agreed upon by the DE and IRT that the debited Bank site has satisfied all the conditions herein and in the Mitigation Plan. If the DE determines that the Bank site is not meeting performance standards or complying with the terms of the instrument, appropriate action will be taken. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, suspending credit sales, adaptive management, decreasing available credits, utilizing financial assurances, and terminating the instrument. Any delay or failure of Bank Sponsor shall not constitute a default hereunder if and to the extent that such delay or failure is primarily caused by any act, event or conditions beyond the Sponsor's reasonable control and significantly adversely affects its ability to perform its obligations hereunder including: (i) acts of God, lightning, earthquake, fire, landslide, or interference by third parties; (ii) condemnation or other taking by any governmental body; (iii) 7 Version December 2016 change in applicable law, regulation, rule, ordinance or permit condition, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, (iv) any order, judgment, action or determination of any federal, state or local court, administrative agency or government body; or (v) the suspension or interruption of any permit, license, consent, authorization or approval. If the performance of the Bank Sponsor is affected by any such event, Bank Sponsor shall give written notice thereof to the IRT as soon as is reasonably practicable. If such event occurs before the final availability of all credits for sale, the Sponsor shall take remedial action to restore the property to its condition prior to such event, in a manner sufficient to provide adequate mitigation to cover credits that were sold prior to such delay or failure to compensate for impacts to waters, including wetlands, authorized by Department of the Army permits. Such remedial action shall be taken by the Sponsor only to the extent necessary and appropriate, as determined by the IRT. C. At the end of the monitoring period, upon satisfaction of the performance standards, the Sponsor may submit a request to the DE for site close out. The DE, in consultation with the IRT, shall use best efforts to review and comment on the request within 60 days of such submittal. If the DE determines the Sponsor has achieved the performance standards in accordance with the mitigation plan and all obligations under this MBI, the DE shall issue a close out letter to the Sponsor. Section XI11: Miscellaneous A. Modification of this UMBI shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in 332.8 of the mitigation rule. B. No third party shall be deemed a beneficiary hereof and no one except the signatories hereof, their successors and assigns, shall be entitled to seek enforcement hereof. C. This UMBI constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or undertakings. D. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this UMBI are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions hereof, and this UMBI shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been contained herein. E. This UMBI shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws ofNorth Carolina and the United States as appropriate. F. This UMBI may be executed by the parties in any combination, in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. G. The terms and conditions of this UMBI shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors. H. All notices and required reports shall be sent by regular mail to each of the parties at their respective addresses, provided below.

DWR did not see any information regarding riparian buffer or nutrient offset credit for the proposed 3 sites, we are assuming there is no riparian buffer and/or nutrient credit on these projects. No buffer or nutrient credits have been proposed at this time. Credit calculations have been done to maximize stream credit generation. B. DWR does not approve of Weyerhaeuser being the long-term steward on their own projects. Weyerhaeuser understands the concerns of the NCDWR related to Weyerhaeuser serving as both the sponsor and the long-term manager for the Middle Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Bank (MNUMB). It should be noted that Weyerhaeuser is not proposing to serve as long-term steward which will be the roll of Unique Places to Save, the conservation easement holder. Since Weyerhaeuser owns a majority of the lands surrounding the MNUMB sites, it would appear that the chance for encroachment from Weyerhaeuser's other operations would be high. However, the fact that Weyerhaeuser owns a majority of the lands surrounding its mitigation sites has actually helped to reduce the chances of encroachment. The reason being is because as the majority landowner, Weyerhaeuser is able to control access to the lands surrounding the mitigation sites which in turn helps to limit possible encroachment issues. It should also be noted that in all seven (7) USACE Corps Districts (including the Wilmington District) in which Weyerhaeuser currently operates, have all have approved Weyerhaeuser serving as both the owner and long-term manager for its other mitigation banks/sites. These sites are listed below in Table 1.0.

In addition, Weyerhaeuser is uniquely qualified to serve as long-term manager of its own mitigation projects because of its vast network of restoration and management contractors. This network has enabled Weyerhaeuser to effectively manage its mitigation sites by being able to quickly respond to issues related to the restoration or management of a site. Lastly, and most importantly, Weyerhaeuser is not the only entity monitoring for encroachment issues on its mitigation sites. The holder of the conservation easement for each mitigation site also monitors the mitigation sites to ensure that neither Weyerhaeuser nor another entity has encroached on the mitigation site. Following the December 11, 2019 meeting with IRT members, the discussion of long-term manager has been removed. C. DWR does not approve of the proposed credit release schedule. Following the December 11, 2019 meeting with IRT members, Weyerhaeuser has removed the proposed modified credit release schedule and replaced it with the existing Wilmington District schedule. D. Typically, an appendix is included with agency correspondence. Responses to agency comments were prepared and submitted. These will be moved to an appendix for the final submittal. E. The plans did not include a JD approval or request package. Wetland delineations were completed, and data forms were submitted with the documents (Appendix X). A formal JD request package will be included in the NWP 27 application. F. There was no discussion of existing crossings, culverts or roads. All easement breaks should be mentioned in the site constraint section. This discussion will be added to the final submittal. G. Even if not an issue, the plan should acknowledge review of FEMA floodplain compliance and any potential for hydrologic trespass. Noted. Appropriate discussion will be added to final documents. H. There is no discussion of treating exotic or invasive vegetation, including treatment of pine which should be addressed given the target vegetative communities and the surrounding land use. Invasive species and management of pine are discussed in the Wetland Restoration and Enhancement Approach Description, the Vegetation and Planting Plan, and Vegetative Monitoring. Specific methodologies for treating invasive or undesirable vegetation was added in the Adaptive Management discussion. Craven 26 1. Section 1.4- Ownership- the long-term steward should not be the landowner. DWR supports a third -party managing entity to handle this role. See comment for NCDWR #B. 2. Section 5.2- Stream Mitigation Workplan- under the Headwater Restoration sub heading it is stated that research has supported 40 acres for intermittent streams and 100 acres for perennial streams. Pertaining to this site and for all the other proposed sites, DWR has stated a number of times the need to expand the watershed to ensure that the headwater reaches will have the necessary flow. While the provider has expanded the easement further than initially proposed in several cases, DWR believes the easement does not capture all the essential drainages as evidenced by the LIDAR Figure 9 (particularly the area to the west of the confluence ofUTI andUT2). Following the December 11, 2019 IRT meeting, Site configurations were updated to provide appropriate drainage areas and project design. 3. Table 12- DWR recommends limiting the planting of Green Ash to 5% because of the ash borer that has become prevalent statewide. Noted. This change has been made. 4. Section 7.0 Credit Release Schedule- DWR does not approve of the proposed credit release schedule. Please utilize the schedule as seen in the October 2016 Mitigation Guidance. See comment for NCDWR #C. 5. Section 8.3 Performance Standards - a. DWR requires the minimum wetland saturation threshold to be 101/o. While DWR realizes a portion of the site may be mapped as Lenoir or Lynchburg soils (have these been verified by a licensed NC Soils Scientist?) most of surrounding soils are Rains or Leaf. Since the proposed work is to raise the stream, then given the mapped soils type Paleaquults, a deep clay, these soils should wet up to well beyond the 10% minimum standard. Noted. The actual percentage will be documented. b. Headwater flow standard- while DWR accepts the 30-day standard, however; we will not accept only requiring the standard in years 4 thru 7. Further discussion with the IRT is warranted here to understand the acceptable standard. 6. Table 21- DWR recommends the Performance Bond Reduction Schedule mirror the This change has been made. 7. Appendix C- Cross Sections- more existing cross sections should be listed. In addition, the scale shown for XS3-UT2 Reach 2 for the y axis (elevation) is not adequate. Cross sections were added, and the y-axis corrected. 8. Design sheets- next time please provide plan sheets that are no larger than 11 x 17. However, DWR did like the way the stream profile and pattern where displayed. Noted. 9. Design sheet 10- DWR is concerned that the channel bed is being raised enough to access the floodplain. If the ditch is 6-8 feet deep but the sheets show channel is being cut down anywhere from 6-7 feet to 4-5 feet, the channel bed is effectively raised about 2 feet. Will the flow be able to readily access the floodplain, especially from station 23+00 to station 26+50. Also, this is a section there will be wetlands adjacent to the stream channel and the designer must plan for enough overbank to keep the wetlands within the proposed saturation threshold. DWR wants to be sure that the stream reach does not resemble a ditch dug through wetlands. This section of stream has been realigned to fall in the low spot of the valley where flow will now be able to readily access the floodplain. 10. Design sheets 11-13- there are a lot of proposed vernal pools along UT1-Reach 3. DWR has two concerns related to the proposed layout. First, the designer should be mindful of the alternate flow path (in many cases when channels or ditches are filled there will be some sinking or subsidence once the plug settles, creating a shallow depression) this may create during high precipitation events. In certain areas, there are very narrow plugs, stations 39+00 and 52+60, that could result in stability problems for the proposed stream channel and bed. Secondly, these vernal pools are all within the proposed wetland restoration area, which is not necessarily a bad thing, however, the layout may result in more open "marsh -like" areas. Therefore, some verbiage should be included in the section which proposes what target vegetative community is proposed. Also, please note that the IRT has seen vernal pools that were constructed that were too deep, it is important that these areas not deeper than shown on your typical. Noted. These areas will be shallow depressions meant to slow and hold water within the floodplain. The depth will be suitable for the wetland tree species specified. 11. DWR requires at least 4 to 5 wetland monitoring gauges in the proposed wetland restoration area. Noted. The document has been modified. 12. Figure 11- there are no veg plots located in the proposed wetland restoration area. There needs to be a significant number of plots included in the wetland restoration area (some can be moved to wetland restoration area, none need to be added). Noted. Vegetation plots will be relocated to measure the appropriate wetland restoration area. 13. DWR recommends flow gauges on all headwater valley tributaries be placed in the upper third of the reach (most flow gauges as displayed on Figure I I are almost at the bottom of eachreach). Noted. This change has been made. In addition, DWR would like to stress that these gauges should not be crest gauges and should be placed in a riffle like feature. Noted. 14. Design sheet 18- 20- DWR recommends some verbiage be included regarding the removal of the gravel road and the site preparation that will occur prior to planting. Unless this area is effectively ripped, the trees will not grow. Noted. This change has been made. 15. Enhancement 1 credit ratio is proposed for reaches UT3 and UT3A. This ratio is based on supplemental plantings. Typically, for planting only, the credit ratio would be 4 or 5:1. Enhancement activities will include grading of the ground surface to enable the headwater establishment, clearing of pine, and replanting. 16. DWR believes reaches UT2 reach I and UT1 reach 1 are at risk for providing the proposed amount of credit. DWR predicts about half the amount of credit for each reach will be realized. Moreover, DWR does not believe UT2 reach 2 upper or UT1 reach 2 will maintain perennial flow. Please realize all of the above could result in credit loss, and this is most related to the size of the contributing watershed. The Site has been adjusted based on watershed concerns and other items discussed. Craven 30 1. Section 1.4- Ownership- the long-term steward should not be the landowner. DWR supports a third -party managing entity to handle this role. See comment for NCDWR #B. 2. Section 5.2- Stream Mitigation Workplan- under the Headwater Restoration sub heading it is stated that research has supported 40 acres for intermittent streams and 100 acres for perennial streams. In Table 3, three tributaries (UT3, 4, and 5) are just at the minimum drainage area. Pertaining to this site and for all the other proposed sites, DWR has stated a number of times the need to expand the watershed to ensure that the headwater reaches will have the necessary flow. DWR believes tributaries UT 1(upper), 4 and 5 are risk to deliver stream mitigation credits. See response #2 for Craven 26. 3. Table 12- DWR recommends limiting the planting of Green Ash to 5% because of the ash borer that has become prevalent statewide. Noted. The Mitigation Plan has been changed. Section 7.0 Credit Release Schedule- DWR does not approve of the proposed credit release schedule. Please utilize the schedule as seen in the October 2016 Mitigation Guidance. Following the December 11, 2019 meeting with IRT members, Weyerhaeuser has removed the proposed modified credit release schedule and replaced it with the existing Wilmington District schedule . 4. Section 8.1- Table 18 is reporting 67 total veg plots, DWR believes this is a typo. This is the correct number of proposed veg plots 5. Section 8.3 Performance Standards - a. Headwater flow standard- while DWR accepts the 30-day standard, however; we will not accept only requiring the standard in years 4 thru 7. See response above. b. DWR accepts the 12% minimum wetland saturation threshold. 6. Table 21- DWR recommends the Performance Bond Reduction Schedule mirror the credit release schedule as shown in the 2016 Mitigation Guidance. This change has been made. 7. Appendix C- Cross Sections- more existing cross sections should be listed. One cross section is not adequate. DWR requires more cross sections be sent before final approval of the mitigation plan can be approved. Noted. We will add more cross sections. 8. Design sheets- should show a bankfull line on the profile view. The bankfull profile has been added to the UT1 plan sheets. 9. Design sheets 8-10 - there are a lot of proposed vernal pools along UT1-Reach 2 and 3. DWR has two concerns related to the proposed layout. First, the designer should be mindful of the alternate flow path this may create during high precipitation events. In certain areas, there are very narrow plugs, stations 15+00 and 32+50, that could result in stability problems for the proposed stream channel and bed. Secondly, these vernal pools are all within the proposed wetland restoration area, which is not necessarily a bad thing, however, the layout may result in more open "marsh -like" areas. Therefore, some verbiage should be included in the section which proposes what target vegetative community is proposed. Also, please note that the IRT has seen vernal pools that were constructed that were too deep, it is important that these areas not be deeper than shown on your typical. Vernal pools which do not dry out will not be counted towards wetland restoration credit. Noted. These areas will be shallow depressions meant to slow and hold water within the floodplain. The depth will be suitable for the wetland tree species specified. 10. Design sheet 11- as DWR stated in earlier comments, we believe UT1 Reach 3 will splay out well before it reaches the major stream. DWR recommends cutting back the stream construction to station 44+00 or at the confluence of tributary UTS. The stream was trimmed back to where relic channel scars are seen in the LiDAR map (Sta:—48+00). 11. Design sheet I I- what is the basis for wetland restoration along UT1 Reach 3 below the road? From the design sheets, it does not appear there are many spoil piles. DWR believes this area is wetland enhancement at best, depending on how much the channel is raised. This area has been delineated as shown. Areas of existing wetland will be enhanced and areas where wetlands were not present due to hydrology will have hydrology restored through the priority 1 restoration re-establishing overbank flow. 12. DWR recommends wetland gauges at station 37+00 stream left, and station 42+00 stream left. Noted. This change was made. 13. DWR recommends flow gauges on all headwater valley tributaries be placed in the upper third of the reach (most flow gauges as displayed on Figure I 1 are almost at the bottom of eachreach). Noted as above. 14. In addition, DWR would like to stress that these gauges should not be crest gauges, and should be placed in a riffle like feature. Noted as above. 15. Design sheet 17- since part of this channel will go through an old pond (or two?), DWR would like to see verbiage included and/or typicals included in the design sheets as to what fill will be used and how the channel will be constructed. In other cases, the IRT has noted if the dam is breached and the channel is left to develop passively, most often wetlands develop and not a stream channel. Understood. More information has been added to the plans and the mitigation document to define this further. Beaufort 56 1. DWR is not recommending this site move forward for the following reasons: a. Consider all the overall comments above as applying to this site as well. b. We have repeatedly talked about getting the appropriate watershed area to support headwater and 1st order streams in the coastal plain. We believe this site still falls short of incorporating the contributing drainage that could make this site successful (see Figure 9- LIDAR). Additional acreage was added to this Site following the December 2019 IRT meeting. c. In addition, there was not a response to my previous comment considering Beaufort 56A comment 2 on page 7 (from your July 12, 2019 response memo), which relates to our comment above (a). Additional acreage was added following the December 2019 IRT meeting. d. There are other drainages entering the site that are not adequately addressed. The Site has been reconfigured to encompass more drainages and to address water coming from off site. e. The site is bisected by a road which leaves a relatively short reach at the end of the project. The reach below the dirt road crossing is more than 1,300 feet. f. What is the drainage area of the two short reaches UT2 and UT3? UT2 has a drainage area of 42 acres; UT3 has a drainage area of 41 acres. Todd Tugwell, USACE: Instrument comments - 1. Under Sec VII, Credit Release Schedule, we have in the past allowed for up to 100% of the credits generated though preservation to be released upon completion of the tasks identified in this section. If this doesn't amount to much credit, it may not be worth complicating the release schedule, but that's up to you and the sponsor. If they were to request release of all credits generated through preservation, they would also need to make sure to have a proportionate amount of the endowment funded before this release. I would add this as a condition of the initial allocation of credits. Also see additional comments regarding the endowment and credit release sections in the mitigation plans, below. Noted. Please see comment to NCDNR #C 2. Sec XI - Weyerhaeuser is identified as the long-term manager of the site. They are also the land owner and sponsor. I don't think that this arrangement is appropriate, especially for this bank. I understand that the easement is being held by Unique Places 2 Save, but from what I can tell, Weyerhaeuser would be the entity that monitors the site for encroachments (this is how the mitigation plans read as well), which is like the fox watching the henhouse. In this case, if there were an encroachment, it would most likely be committed by Weyerhaeuser because they own almost all of the land surrounding the easement, and will be continuing to conduct forestry operations on the adjacent land. If there are management activities (burning, invasive control, etc.) I could see those being conducted by Weyerhaeuser, but the sponsor/owner should never be the party responsible for monitoring the site for encroachments. Both Weyerhaeuser and Unique Places 2 Save would both be monitoring for encroachment issues. See comment under NCDNR Comment #B for further explanation. Comments pertaining to all mitigation plans — The following comments regarding the mitigation plans are combined in this section as they apply to all three mitigation plans. 1. General comment - One of the primary concerns previously discussed relates to concerns that the projects have not been designed to restore sites to prior (pre -forestry operations) conditions, and that the upper ends of these projects should really be wetland systems rather than streams. Some easement area was added to help justify the approach, but overall the amount added to the upper ends of the systems on these bank sites is minimal. The projects also propose to develop headwaters streams within areas that may be better suited for wetlands. Once the ditches have been filled, it is also likely that hydrology will be impacted much farther upstream that the limits of the easements, which has the potential to cause impacts to land use in these areas. This is evident by looking at the proposed grades up valley from the headwater stream reaches. Site configurations have been changed based on comments and input from the IRT. Under Sec 1.4, it states that long-term stewardship responsibilities will begin at the end of the bank's operational phase (after all credits are released and sold) and continue into perpetuity. This section needs to be changed to indicate that long-term management starts after the final release of credits when the site has been closed (i.e., at the end of the monitoring phase). It could potentially be decades or longer before all credits are sold. Change was made. 2. Sec 2.3, assurance of sufficient water rights, control of minerals, access, does the sponsor have control of all areas that may potentially be impacted by increased hydrology due to the restoration activities? We have discussed this previously at length. The mitigation plans should include an evaluation to identify areas that could potentially be impacted by filling the ditches on the site. If this may affect forestry operations adjacent to the project easements, this needs to be noted (we need to know if ditches may be constructed adjacent to the site in order to improve drainage once the project ditches are filled). No impacts will occur within the proposed sites that will negatively impact the restored streams or wetlands. Any impacts to adjacent lands have been minimized. 3. Sec 2.3 should also state whether mineral rights are held by Weyerhaeuser. If they have been previously transferred, they would not be subject to the conservation easement restrictions. Mineral rights for all sites are owned by Weyerhaeuser. 4. The long-term management plan includes maintenance of undesirable vegetation and beaver/hog control. It's great to see these included, but how realistic is this? Understood. The final mitigation plans have been modified to discuss natural conditions as compared to those that threaten sustainability of the mitigation values. 5. The long-term management plan in lacking in detail. What are the proposed activities? How often will they be done? How do they relate to the objectives of the bank? The description of activities seems to be mostly about keeping roads open and passable, which if anything, is contrary to the objective of the bank. This section has been modified. 6. Endowment (escrow) amounts have been lumped into one amount for all three sites. These really should be broken out because each site is separate. This change has been made. 7. How is the endowment funding being managed? Does the NFWF provide an annual amount based on the identified tasks? Who approves the release of funds, UP2S?? They could. However, currently, NFWF will approve the release of funds. 8. The capitalization rate is 4% (3.5% is pretty typical), but it's not clear if this accounts for inflation. Does NFWF get a 4% return? After discussion with the IRT on December 11, 2019, there will be no long-term management fund since no long-term management activities are proposed beyond those typical activities that Weyerhaeuser will undertake as owner of the property. 9. Is the endowment lumped in with other banks, or are the funds kept separate? See 98 above. 10. How were the figures in the table listing the tasks for long-term management determined? For instance, undesirable vegetation control, it lists 10.2 acres, but this is much smaller than the combined acreage of the easements, correct? (I couldn't find the easement size anywhere in the mit plans.) I think the breakdown of the long-term management needs more detailed descriptions of tasks, costs (per site), etc. See #8 above. 11. I did not see that there was any accounting for legal costs associated with protection of the site. These legal costs are normally covered under the conservation easement endowment. 12. Endowment/escrow funding should be in place earlier than the year before the final credit release, as stated in the plan. I recommend that the funding be tied to credit release, so that it is partially funding during each credit release, and 100% funded by year 5. The Conservation Easement endowment will be paid at closing. 13. The credit release schedule that proposes 601/o at construction is not acceptable. The District has an approved release schedule that would apply to this bank. I recommend that they also include the release schedule template that lists the anticipated releases along with dates. I have attached this for reference. The credit release schedule has been changed to match the current Wilmington District guidance. 14. Credit calculations for non-standard buffers were not done correctly (e.g., the ideal buffer was not measured right, and there appear to be areas where wetland credit overlaps with additional buffer credit). Please review guidance related to this methodology and recalculate. Also provide more detailed maps showing the buffer zones. Shapefiles and/or the excel file may be requested as well. I am available to discuss how to apply this if it would be helpful. Guidance has been reviewed and modifications made. Additional information can be provided as needed. 15. The adaptive management plan lacks specifics — please provide additional detail, including any specific concerns regarding these sites (lack of channel formation, excess hydrology, etc.). This section has been updated according to comments from the IRT. 16. Performance standards only reference the 2016 guidance. Specific monitoring and performance standards should be restated in the document so it is clear what they are in the mitigation plans. Noted. This change has been made. 17. The vegetation planting list only includes 7 tree species (not to include live stakes). I recommend adding additional species to ensure a more diverse over story. The species named are representative of typical coastal plain bottomland hardwood and swamp forests with regard to number of species. 18. Green ash plantings should be reduced to no more than 5% due to the likely effects of the emerald ash borer. Noted as discussed above. The planting percentages have been updated. 19. Headwater valley lengths appear to be based on the centerline measurement of the ditches. These lengths should be based on straight-line valley length. Please update the credit projections accordingly. Headwater centerlines have been confirmed in GIS and used to calculate credits. 20. Vernal pools should be designed to be only seasonally impounded. If these areas remain impounded, they should not be considered successful. Noted. See previous responses regarding floodplain depressions. 21. It is not clear if the measurements of wetlands on the site include the vernal pools and/or the area occupied by the channel (for single -thread channels). Noted. This has been clarified. 22. The design sheets provided do not appear to be updated to the current proposal. (i.e., they do not show wetland restoration along the single thread channels, as is shown on the proposed condition figures). Wetlands have been added to design sheets. 23. Ditch plugs should be at least 100 feet in length. Noted. All ditch plugs are shown as at least 100-feet long. 24. Flow gauges generally appear to be too far downstream. These gauges should be located fairly close to the proposed stream origin, and at least in the upper 1/3. Noted as previously discussed. 25. The distribution of groundwater gauges on sites should be modified to include some near the edge of the easement (within wetlands) and some within restoration areas closer to the channel (along single -thread channels). Noted. 26. The plans propose to restore natural topography, including minor depressions and small mounds. Please take caution to ensure that any created topography does not adversely affect the site, create non jurisdictional pockets or impounded areas. Noted. 27. It is not clear from the plans what areas are proposed to be planted. Please make this clear on the planting plan, along with the amount of planted areas. Noted. Planting details have been added. Final planting plans will accompany final construction drawings. 28. Wetland enhancement has not been defined. What constitutes "low enhancement". In general, the description of current conditions of the wetlands and how they will be restored is very vague. Please expand on these descriptions so that the reader has abetter understanding of what will be done on the site. Understood. Discussion of wetland mitigation activities has been added. 29. For areas where hydrology will be enhanced, is there any preexisting data to compare to? What are the hydrology standards for these areas? Mitigation plans indicate that hydrology performance "through comparison to measured reference condition" — I recommend removing this statement. Hydrology will be determined successful if it meets the stated standards only. Noted. This change has been made. 30. I had some questions about how the headwater valleys will be developed. What happens in areas above the conservation easement? For instance, on Beaufort 56, Pollard swamp — reach 1 starts at 3+50, but the easement doesn't start until 5+75. Please provide more detail so that we get a better understanding of what is proposed for the headwater valley reaches. Site plans have been adjusted to encompass additional areas. Off -site impacts have been minimized. 31. On Beaufort 56, the NRCS soils map and LiDAR suggest that reach 2 should be located farther east than either its current or proposed location. Please explain why this reach is located where proposed? Agreed. The figures have been adjusted to show the correct location for reach 2. Kim Browning, USACE: 1. Endowment amounts —it needs to be enough that the site can be stewarded into perpetuity based on the level of stewardship proposed. (Monitoring, walking the boundaries, boundaries marked, check for encroachment, prescribed burning if applicable, invasive control rarely, means for legal defense of easement, stewardship complexities.). No long- term management activities are proposed. Legal defense of the easement is normally covered in the conservation easement endowment. 2. An acceptance letter from the Long -Term Steward, including an itemized list of the endowment funding, should be included in each mitigation plan. Noted. Letter will be included in final plan. 3. The mitigation plan should provide a list of the annual long-term management activities and associated annual costs. To estimate if you are providing an adequate endowment, you can take the total annual amount required and divide it by 0.04 (cap rate). For example, if the total annual costs were $500 and you divide by 0.04 then you should have at least $12,500 to cover the long-term management. (A 0.04 capitalization rate is the minimum rate we will allow) Keep in mind that this does not include funding to cover any potential legal costs. You should include additional monies for a legal fund. I met with UP2S recently and they indicated they are using a 3-3.5% cap rate currently. After discussion with the IRT on December 11, 2019, there will be no long-term management fund since no long-term management activities are proposed. 4. The endowment should be fully funded at least one year prior to closeout so that the long-term steward does not have to draw on the principal. Noted. 5. Please depict photo points/digital image stations on monitoring maps. If the fixed cross- section locations are to be used, please describe that in the text in the monitoring section. Noted. This change will be made. 6. Wetland Restoration/enhancement — The inclusion of vernal pools is acceptable, and should be 8- 14" depressions that dry up annually so that predatory species cannot colonize. Noted. 7. If ditches are to be filled, please show these areas on the construction plans, and the length of the ditch plug (minimum 100 feet). Noted. 8. It would be beneficial to add some coarse woody debris to the depressional areas in the buffers and throughout the adjacent wetlands for habitat, and to help store sediment, increase water storage/infiltration, and absorb water energy during overbank events. Noted.

The Site is identified as having potential to help meet the compensatory mitigation requirement for permitted stream and freshwater wetland impacts in Hydrologic Unit Code ("HUC") 03020202 of the Neuse River Basin. It was selected based on the its ability to provide improvements to aquatic resources within the Middle Neuse 8-digit HUC through restoration as described further within this Mitigation Plan. The Site is in Beaufort County, NC (Figure 1—Service Area Map) and consists of one (1) stream system within the Creeping Swamp watershed (HUC 030202020403) that includes headwater restoration and stream and wetland systems restoration. This Mitigation Plan is a holistic approach that encompasses the valley and riparian wetlands adjacent to the stream channels. The stream system described here as Pollard Swamp ("PS") is a tributary to Creeping Swamp, which joins Clayroot Swamp upstream of the confluence with Swift Creek. On -site streams that are proposed for restoration were historically impacted by extensive ditching and currently have diminished functionality within the functional categories identified in the stream functional pyramid (Harman, Starr, Tweedy, Clemmon, Suggs, Miller. 2012). Based on these areas of impacted functionality and potential for functional uplift, this Mitigation Plan has been produced identifying the proposed mitigation activities and associated credit generation shown in Table 1 and Tablet. All mitigation areas within the Site will be protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement totaling 99.1 acres. The Conservation Easement document will be in the form described in Section X of the Middle Neuse Umbrella Mitigation Baking Instrument ("UMBI").

The larger Neuse River Basin has been a focal point for water quality concerns for almost three decades due to sediment disturbances in upstream rural development as well as nutrient loading from upstream agricultural land use. Development within this basin is predicted to increase - especially with the proposed Kinston Bypass construction, which will likely increase development around the proposed interchanges. As such, the B56 Site aims to provide protection and the potential for significant water quality and aquatic habitat improvements in this sensitive region. The B56 Site was identified as a strong candidate for mitigation based on its potential for uplift as well as the following criteria as originally documented in the prospectus phase: Access —Potential sites must have permanent, deeded access. Proximity to Impacts —Potential sites must be within the 8-digit HUC in which impacts are anticipated to occur. Watershed Impact —Restoring, enhancing, and protecting a potential site must contribute to the overall improvement of the watershed in which it is found. Restoration Potential —Potential sites must have a combination of wetland and stream restoration. Sites with historical alterations, such as silviculture, will generally be given priority for development. Habitat Connectivity —Potential sites must contribute to creating larger, contiguous conservation properties to help support habitat diversity, quality, and stability. Sufficient Water Rights/Resources—Potential sites must have sufficient water rights/resources to sustain restored and/or protected wetlands and streams. Mineral Rights —The Bank Sponsor must own/control the surface mineral rights, including gravel, sand, salt, and coal. 1.3 MITIGATION SITE LOCATION, SIZE, AND SERVICE AREA The B56 Site is in southwest Beaufort County, North Carolina, about 23 miles north of New Bern. It can be accessed from Pollard Road off State Road 102, approximately 3 miles east of U.S. Highway 17. The Site is located at 35.4126' North and-77.1526' East (Figure 1-ServieeArea Map). Overall, the Site includes the restoration of multiple tributaries and riparian wetlands, some of which currently are within narrow bands of hardwood forest near active timber production. The Site is in the Creeping Swamp sub -basin of the Middle Neuse River Basin (HUC 030202020403) and the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain Level III Ecoregion. The Site sits in the Department of Water Resources ("DWR") Sub -basin 03-04-09. HUC 03020202 is situated downstream of HUC 03020201 (which contains Raleigh and Durham) and HUC 03020203 (which includes Smithfield, Goldsboro, Farmville, and other heavily agricultural areas). The local Creeping Swamp sub -basin is predominantly used for timber production, with some agriculture and very little existing commercial, industrial, or residential development.

Development within this basin is predicted to increase, especially with construction of the Kinston Bypass. This bypass will increase mobility in the area and spur development around proposed interchanges, likely creating additional impacts to the area. The Middle Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020202) consists of 1,008 square miles with more than 340 miles of stream and is primed for significant local growth. Between the five (5) counties that make up the watershed (Beaufort, Craven, Lenoir, Pitt, and Wayne Counties), Pitt County is forecasted to grow by 5.8% by 2020, and Wayne County is expected to grow by 4.1 %**. Overall, the Middle Neuse watershed is expected to see 2.4% growth by 2020. The B56 Site represents a valuable opportunity to restore natural streams and headwater systems to offer long-term protection to essential habitat and aquatic resources as growth and development comes to the area. This Site's goals and objectives described below are consistent in addressing the major stressors identified in the 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities ("RBRP") document produced by the North Carolina Department of Mitigation Services ("NCDMS"). **https.//files. nc.govmcosamiaemogicountygrowtn_2020. html 2.2 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WATERSHED SCALE GOALS The Neuse RBRP 2010 document produced by the NCDMS spells out the Middle Neuse Basin restoration and protection goals. Applicable goals stated are as follows: Promote nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers. Continue targeted implementation of projects under the Nutrient Offset and Buffer programs, as well as focusing Department of Transportation ("DOT") sponsored restoration in areas where they will provide the ecosystem's most functional improvement. Mitigation proposed as part of the B56 Site addresses these specific RBRP goals. A significant length of stream mitigation, wetland mitigation, and riparian corridor enhancement and preservation will improve water quality within the Middle Neuse Basin. Additionally, these projects are being implemented now to offset future impacts that could occur as part of the Kinston Bypass construction and future development that may occur because of the roadway improvements. SITE -SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES Fill ditches that currently are draining headwater valley systems and reestablish the historic headwater valley system to accomplish the following: o Restore hydrology to the headwater valley system to restore wetland systems within the headwaters. o Restore original headwater stream system to provide more frequent flooding of the adjacent headwater wetlands and valley. The Middle Neusc otream ana vvetiand Umurella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 1 o Supplement existing trees and roots in headwater systems with appropriate vegetation to encourage stabilized flow paths through restored headwater systems. Restore native riparian buffers. Restore native wetland vegetation. Restore intermittent and perennial streams with a Priority 1 restoration approach to: o Reestablish the restored channel to the center of its valley and restore appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile. o Because of elevating the stream through a Priority 1 approach, restore adjacent riparian wetland hydrology. This also will address the cross -sectional dimensions of the channel to return it to a stream hydraulically connected to its floodplain versus its current ditched and disconnected/incised state. o Restore profile and habitat diversity by reestablishing riffle/ripple and pool sequences (i.e., habitat transitions) throughout the restored stream systems to provide depth variability. o Establish a 150-foot-wide vegetated buffer to each site of the Priority 1 restoration and transition reaches. o Establish and/or protect a minimum 50-foot-wide vegetated buffer to each side of the headwater reaches. o Provide additional buffer, outside the required 50 feet along restored headwater systems, to protect restored wetlands. Where possible, preserve channel reaches to provide a contiguous riparian corridor throughout the site. Reestablish natural overland flow patterns within the adjacent buffers by removing planting rows and disrupting the drainage effect of ditches within the buffer. Restore natural topography in the floodplains, including minor depression and mounds that promote diversity of hydrologic conditions and habitats. Restore site wetland hydrology by promoting storage of surface water, increasing surface ponding and infiltration, decreasing drainage capacity, and imposing a higher water table across the floodplain and wetlands. 2.3 ASSURANCE OF SUFFICIENT WATER RIGHTS, CONTROL OF MINERALS, AND ACCESS Sufficient water rights exist to support the long-term sustainability of the Site. There are no severed rights on the property. 2.4 SITE PROTECTION In accordance with Section X (Site Protection) found in the Middle Neuse UMBI, the Bank Sponsor, Weyerhaeuser NR Company, plans to protect the site by applying a conservation easement. A copy of the Conservation Easement document is included as Appendurl-Conservation Easement Documents. The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT I February 2020 EXISTING WATERSHED CONDITIONS The stream system proposed for mitigation consists of the Pollard Swamp stream channel and two (2) unnamed tributaries. The headwaters for this system occur onsite and are included in the mitigation area. Silviculture is the primary land use within the headwater system. In some reaches, a hardwood buffer has been left intact where the adjacent floodplain typically is too inundated for pine harvesting. In these reaches, the center of the valley typically has been ditched, draining the headwater system. Watershed summary information for the system is provided in the table below. Quie 3 - Watershed Overview Level IV Ecoregion 63e Mid -Atlantic Flatwoods River Basin Neuse USGS 8-digit Hydrologic Unit 03020202 USGS 12-digit Hydrologic Unit 030202020403 DWR Sub -Basin 03-04-09 Project Watershed / Percent Impervious Beaufort 56 807 Ac 0.11 The watershed sits within the Carolina Flatwoods ecoregion (Level IV), which occur in the nearly level coastal plain with frequently high-water tables and large areas of poorly drained soil. While the watershed currently is occupied by significant commercial loblolly pine plantations, the large areas of loamy, organic soils historically were home to significant biological diversity compared to the Mid -Atlantic Flatwood region to the north. Restoring and preserving headwater systems is especially valuable to the health and water quality of the watershed because of its shallow topography. 3.2 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS SURFACE WATER CLASSIFICATION All reaches identified on -site, including each unnamed tributary and named swamp system (Pollard Swamp), are identified as Class C waters with additional designations of nutrient sensitive waters ("NSW") and swamp waters ("SW"). The system joins Clayroot Swamp, which is listed as impaired and drains to an impaired segment of Swift Creek. SITE SOILS The on -site soils are derived from deposits on marine terraces within the coastal plain. These soils were deposited between the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs, where ocean levels were high enough to form flat terraces across the coast of North America and deposit marine sands, silts, and clays. The on -site soils are described by site section and soil type below. The soils that occur on -site are presented in S - N and jure 6 - Hydrie Soils. Leaf Silt Loam Leaf Silt Loam ("La") soils predominantly exist on terraces that form on broad interstream divides and consist of clayey marine deposits. The profile is made up of 0 to 6 inches of silt loam, a depth from 6 to 67 The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation bank I bcautort 56 Site Mitigation Tian - DRAFT February 2020 1 9 inches of clay, and a final depth from 67 to 80 inches of clay loam (end of profile). This soil type is poorly drained and trends with a 0-2% slope. It has a hydric rating of 90. Leaf soil occurs on -site in the lower portion of the Pollard Swamp reach. Leon Sand Leon Sand ("Lo") is a sandy soil that forms on flats in marine terraces created from sandy fluvio-marine deposits during prehistoric periods of high sea levels. The profile consists of medium sand from 0 to 15 inches and fine sand from 15 to at least 80 inches (end of profile). The soil is highly conductive, with hydraulic conductivity values in the most confining layers (fine sand) of as high as 1.98 inches per hour. The Leon soil occurs on -site adjacent to the stream corridors of Pantego loam. The water table is consistently at 0 to 12 inches in depth and the soil has a hydric rating of 80. Pantego Loam Pantego Loam ("Pa") forms in broad interstream divides on marine terraces and consists of mostly loam and sandy loam. The soil profile consists of loam from 0 to 18 inches and a sandy clay loam from 18 to 80 inches (end of profile). The soil is poorly drained with high available water storage and a hydric rating of 90. Fitting with its description, the Pantego soils occur within the tributary corridors. Tomotley Fine Sandy Loam Tomotley Fine Sandy Loam ("To") forms in depressions on terraces along the coastal plain and consists of medium -to -fine sandy loam. The soil profile is made up of fine sandy loam from 0 to 12 inches, sandy clay loam from 12 to 42 inches, sandy loam from 42 to 50 inches, and loamy sand from 50 to 80 inches (end of profile). The soil profile is poorly drained but has a high hydraulic conductivity rating and a hydric rating of 91. Tomotley soils occur in the western edge of the Site. BASELINE STREAM CONDITIONS Descriptions of each existing reach condition are outlined below. provides watershed acreages for each reach and provides existing lengths. Additionally, representative photos are included in ippendVb do Pages. Pollard Swamp ("PS") Reach 1, UT2, and UT3 Historically, Pollard Swamp, UT2, and UT3 are headwater systems that have been ditched and disconnected from the adjacent floodplain to drain adjacent areas. North Carolina Stream Assessment Method ("NC SAM") scores for each reach are low, due to the incised and disconnected nature of the existing conditions, and bank ratios for each reach range from 2.5 to 4.0. NCSAM forms for the stream in Appendix G - NCSAM Forms. Pollard Swamp ("PS") — Reaches 2 and 3 The lower portion of Pollard Swamp is an incised channel that has been ditched and currently acts as a roadside ditch. Historically, reaches 2 and 3 were shallow E-type stream channel that formed at the downstream extent of the PS headwater system. Currently, due to the incised and ditched nature of the channel, it is disconnected from the floodplain and lacks natural pattern and bedform diversity. The NC SAM rating of the lower reach of PS is low, primarily due to its entrenched condition and inability to frequently access its historic floodplain.

No impacts to such resources if they do occur are anticipated. REGULATED FLOODPLAINS The site is located in an Area of Minimal Flood Hazard (Zone X - FIRM panel 3720564000L). No FEMA coordination is required to work in this area. EXISTING SITE CONSTRAINTS There are no known constraints that are not being addressed through design. The only known design constraints are: An existing dirt road that crosses the site along the PS Reach 2 section of channel. o The existing culvert under this road is to be upsized with a wider/larger culvert to improve the hydraulic connection from the upstream side of the road to the downstream side. o The new culvert will be elevated to match the higher stream invert that was designed to provide a Priority 1 restoration and thus promote floodplain connectivity. o The new culvert invert will also be installed 1.0 foot below the stream invert in order to better allow for fish passage. o The conservation easement will have a break to accommodate the road; no mitigation credits will be generated from this area. Reach 3 will tie into the existing channel as it leaves the site. o The lower 550 feet of PS - Reach 3 will transition from the Priority 1 restoration down to tie in to the lower existing invert of the channel as the stream channel leaves the site. The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation clan - uKAr I February 2020 Based on data and observations collected from the watershed analysis, site visits, and reference material, Table 5 outlines areas of potential uplift and a work plan associated with the uplift of each design consideration. These parameters, and their associated design considerations, have been developed to fit under the framework of the Harman Stream Functions Pyramid. Maximum practical uplift potential for each functional level, including stream hydrology, hydraulics, geomorphology, physical chemistry, and biology, were scrutinized based on the existing conditions and limitations associated with adjacent land use, watershed condition, and landscape variables. The content of this Mitigation Plan was guided by these observed functional uplift areas to best serve the project and improve overall site conditions.

The following were used for the stream and wetland design: Four (4) reference stream sites located within the Carolina Flatwoods level -IV ecoregion. On -site relic channels and relic wetland systems. Multiple coastal plain regional curves and accompanying data. Current U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("USACE") and NCDMS guidelines/design parameters. Searches were conducted upstream/downstream of the Site and into surrounding watersheds to find suitable references that contained similarities to the Site streams including level IV physiographic ecoregion, watershed, valley slope, and morphology. No reference reaches were identified immediately upstream or downstream of the site or in the surrounding watershed. Four (4) reference reaches from multiple reference databases (NCDOT and Sweet/Geratz) were selected outside of the watershed but within the Carolina Flatwoods level -IV physiographic eco-region. The reference reaches were selected to represent the probable configurations for the proposed streams. The data shown in able 6 helped to provide a basis for evaluating the project site and determining the stream systems that may have been present historically and/or how they may have been influenced by changes within the watershed. A description of each reference reach is included below. Geomorphic parameters for these reference reaches are summarized in pholog1 Reference streams provide geomorphic parameters of a stable system, which can be used to inform design of stable channels of similar stream types in similar landscapes and watersheds. While reference reach data can be a useful aid in designing channel dimension, pattern, and profile, there are limitations in smaller stream systems. The flow patterns and channel formation for most reference reach quality streams is often controlled by slope, watersheds, groundwater inputs and larger trees and/or other deep- rooted vegetation. Some meander geometry parameters, such as radius of curvature, are particularly affected by vegetation control. Pattern ratios observed in reference reaches may not be applicable or are often adjusted in the design criteria to create designs that are less likely to erode after construction before the permanent vegetation is established. REFERENCE STREAM REACHES Beaverdam Branch The Beaverdam Branch reference reach is located approximately 1,000 feet downstream of SR 1119 outside Trenton, North Carolina in Jones County. Beaverdam Branch is classified as a Rosgen E5 stream type. The stream flows through a wide wooded swamp floodplain with a valley slope of 0.1 %-0.4% and sinuosity of 1.9. Most of floodplain would be considered wetland with numerous seeps and side tributaries. The 3.0 square mile watershed is mostly agricultural (70.4% cultivated) with the remainder being bottomland forest/hardwood swamps, shrublands, mixed upland hardwoods, and some single- family residences. The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 1 M Black Branch Black Branch is in Craven County just north-west of New Bern off SR 1101, within Croatan National Forest. This site was classified as a blackwater E stream type and has a watershed of 1.2 square miles. The reach has a valley slope of 0.6% and channel slope of 0.4% giving it a sinuosity of 1.7. The stream maintains an entrenchment ratio of 15-25. The watershed of the reference reach lies almost entirely within the National Forest boundaries made up of predominantly silviculture southern yellow pine with some bottomland forest, mixed upland hardwoods, and mixed shrubland. "ributary to Town Creek The unnamed tributary ("UT") to Town Creek is located north of SR 1413 (Town Creek Rd NE) near Belville, NC in Brunswick County. The stream was classified as a blackwater E stream type with a watershed of 0.6 square miles. This reach flows through a semi mature bottomland forest and has an average valley slope of 0.72% and an average channel slope of 0.35%. The channel has a width -to -depth ratio of 8.9, an entrenchment ratio of over 20, and a sinuosity of 2.0. The watershed for this reference reach is mostly used for cultivated silviculture with some forested land and shrubland. Tributary to Hunters Creek The UT to Hunters Creek is in Jones County, south of Great Lake Road, Croatan National Forest. The watershed is 0.7 square miles and the land use within the watershed is comprised of cultivated silviculture, semi mature -mature bottomland forest/hardwood swamps, shrublands, and mixed upland hardwoods. The UT to Hunters Creek reference site was classified as a C6 stream type with a sinuosity of 1.5. The channel has a width to depth ratio of 19 and an entrenchment ratio of 16. The reach has a valley slope of 0.4% while the channel slope is 0.2%. HYBRID ECOREGION-SPECIFIC REGIONAL CURVE The published Rural NC Coastal Plain regional curve (Doll, et al., 2003) along with an additional NC Coastal Plain regional curve (Sweet and Geratz, 2003) was used to check hydraulic geometry based on watershed using regional relationships. A hybrid level IV ecoregion-specific curve was developed for the Carolina Flatwoods ecoregion using data from the two published regional curves and supplementary data from Kimley-Horn's internal reference reach database. Analytical review of applicable streams from multiple stream reference databases and developing a hybrid regional curve, provided the most pertinent background information to determine the appropriate design parameters given the existing conditions and overall site functional uplift potential. Additionally, reference parameters from Kimley-Horn's internal database based on successful past projects were consulted and analyzed. AppendixD-Geomorphology illustrates the NC Coastal Plain curves along with other data used for these analyses. HEADWATER REFERENCE In addition to design criteria reference data (mentioned above), design and placement of the headwater restoration reach systems required consideration of the valley slope, contributing watershed, ground water inputs, curvature, soils, precipitation and ecoregion. Research provided in "Mapping Headwater Streams: Intermittent and Perennial Headwater Stream Model Development and Spatial Application" by Russell (2008) shows that contributing watershed is the usually the dominating factor in predicting intermittent and perennial stream points of origin. For the Coastal Plain it was found that the mean .e Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 contributing watershed at the point of origin of intermittent streams is about 40 acres. For perennial streams that value is about 100 acres.

Relic wetlands within the headwater systems are primarily impacted by extensive ditching through the middle of the valley, which has drained the systems. The relic hydric soils and valley features are already in place. The system uplift will be based on the headwater channel and Priority 1 channel design which will raise the groundwater table. Any wetland restoration that results from the stream restoration work will be monitored and tracked. On -site reference wetland systems (upper 5613) in similar landscape positions (i.e., headwater or riparian) and mapped soils will provide design and monitoring success criteria for hydrology and vegetative community reference (see Figure 6-HydricSnP for hydric soils and Figure 11- Monitoring Plan for monitoring locations). DESIGN PARAMETER DEVELOPMEN' Design parameters were first based on the existing valley shape and slope, on -site relic stream systems, the reference stream dimensionless parameters, and finally checked and confirmed using multiple regional curves for North Carolina's Coastal Plain region. AppendixD-Geomorphologyoutlines these developed parameters. The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 1 5.2 MITIGATION WORK PLAN STREAM MITIGATION WORK PLAN A summary of the mitigation approach and lengths for each reach is provided in the table below.

The overall approach to the system is to reverse the damage created through ditching. More detailed and reach -specific approaches are outlined below for restoration reaches, but the overall goal of these approaches is to reconnect the channel flow with its adjacent riparian floodplain and wetlands and restore native vegetation communities to restore lost functions of the system. The design process began with a thorough analysis of existing and historic conditions and functions within the catchment area for each reach and analysis of hydrologic, hydraulic, and geomorphic functional impairments within each reach, wetland, and floodplain. From this data, reference systems (e.g., streams, headwaters, wetlands, and riparian buffers) were selected that represented a stable, healthy system that manages the same or similar baseline conditions. Through a comparison of existing conditions and relic performance, as well as historic conditions, major areas of concern and potential uplift were identified. The concerns include, but are not limited to, bank instability, disconnection from the natural floodplain due to significant ditching, incision, over -widening of existing channels, and wetland and floodplain drainage. Site analysis also identified a significant loss of in -stream and riparian wetland habitat (including sources of shade, woody detritus, and large woody debris for future habitat development). These issues will be addressed with a watershed -based approach. Starting at the top of the watershed, the ditches within the valley reaches that show potential for headwater system restoration will be filled. Downstream of these headwater systems, a Priority 1 approach will be used to continue a reconnection of the stream hydrology to the adjacent floodplain through the valley; thus, raising the water table. This is a valley restoration approach that will benefit adjacent wetland areas and the channel instead of only providing uplift to the channel itself. In addition to raising the invert of the channel back to its historic elevation, the channel will be returned to its original location along the lower portion of its valley and appropriate pattern and bedform diversity (profile) will be restored. Headwater Restoration Approach Description The on -site headwater systems have been ditched to accelerate drainage, damaging the hydrological and ecological functions of these systems. When functioning properly, with gradual progression from linear wetland systems to channelized stream -wetland system, headwaters offer a vital ecological resource and mitigate against nonpoint source pollution from the contributing watershed, as well as critical habitat for 19 -he Middle Neuse Stream acid Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Tian - DRAFT I February 2020 aquatic and terrestrial species. Species diversity and frequency benefit from enhanced habitat in the headwater and buffer areas within the entire B56 Site. As such, special focus has been given to addressing major deficiencies in on -site headwater resources and the transitions from upland to headwater and headwater to stream-wetland-floodplain. Pollard Swamp - Reach 1, UT2, and UT3 within the B56 system each represent headwater mitigation and aim to remove ditching and enhance riparian/wetland vegetation for a buffering mechanism. They also aim to provide stabilized flow pathways for overland flow that will reduce sediment contributions from off -site runoff and dissipate energy from potential sources of concentrated flow. Where relevant, new planted vegetation will be selected based on its uplift potential for stability and erosion reduction, as well as its functional value as wetland wildlife habitat. Headwater restoration is proposed to begin on each reach where the cumulative watershed becomes 40 acres. Research has documented that 40 acres is the average watershed size in the Coastal Plain Region that can support the formation of an intermittent channel. (Russell, 2008) The headwater restoration will continue until the watershed size reaches 100 acres, at which point the work will transition to traditional Priority 1 stream restoration. In general, the headwater restoration approach applied to the reaches listed above will include the following: Fill the existing ditch (use adjacent spoil piles from original ditching activity). Fill lateral ditches that tie-in to the existing centerline ditch (using adjacent spoil pile material). Ensure appropriate organic topsoil exists (site investigations confirmed plenty of organic topsoil material on -site). Rip and disk (if needed) the freshly placed soil and areas of construction to ensure soil is not compacted. Reestablish natural overland flow patterns within the adjacent buffers by removing berms and planted rows and disrupting the drainage effect of ditches within the buffer. Restore natural topography in the wetland-floodplain, including minor depression and small mounds that promote diversity of hydrologic conditions and habitats. Restore or enhance site hydrology by promoting surface water storage, increasing surface ponding and infiltration, decreasing drainage capacity, and imposing a higher water table across the valley. Plant appropriate headwater system vegetation. Install woody debris structures to provide immediate stabilization to the freshly filled portions of the ditch footprint (e.g., log sills or brush mattresses). Install coir fiber matting (as necessary) in some locations where concentrated flow is anticipated. Plant native vegetation within all restored areas as the contractor works their way out of the headwater restoration area and down to the lower stream restoration reaches Stream Restoration Approach Description Priority 1 restoration is proposed for Pollard Swamp - Reaches 2 and 3. Restoration activities aim to reconnect flow to the floodplain and provide stable, natural bankfull dimensions, pattern, and profile. These goals are accomplished by filling the existing ditched, incised, and eroding channel and redirecting flow into a newly constructed natural channel that has been sized and aligned based on the following: Relic stream location. - Valley topography/centerline location. The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 1 Consideration of dimensionless ratios from reference reach conditions. Regional curve data. The following specific improvements are incorporated into the restoration reaches on the Site: Dimension —The channel will be reconnected to its historic valley and floodplain by raising the stream back up from its incised/ditched condition and the channel will have an appropriate bankfull depth. This will restore the groundwater depths in areas directly adjacent to the channel and will allow for more frequent floodplain access for storm flows. Pattern —The channel will be returned to its historic location within its valley as opposed to its current straight/ditched location. Within the confines and boundary of its historic valley center, the channel's pattern will be returned based on on -site relic channel patterns, reference reach dimensionless ratios, and regional curve data. Profile —With a restored dimension and pattern, the profile also will be designed to incorporate bedform diversity with well-defined pools and shallow riffle reaches. In -stream structures will be installed to provide scour for pools and initial grade control until the new riparian vegetation has time to establish the root system necessary to hold the restored system in place. In addition, woody structures —such as the proposed brush and roll riffles and toe -wood —will provide immediate habitat and stabilization for the newly constructed channel. Riparian Buffer —Beyond restoring the natural channel, the stream restoration approach also reestablishes a native riparian buffer protected with a permanent conservation easement that provides uplift to site hydrology, channel stability, and availability of natural habitat. Flow Patterns —Within the adjacent buffers, natural overland flow patterns will be reestablished by removing berms, planted rows, etc. and disrupting the drainage effect of ditches within the buffer. Natural Topography —Natural topography in the floodplains, including minor depression and mounds that promote diversity of hydrologic conditions and habitats, will be restored. Site Hydrology —Site hydrology will be restored or enhanced by promoting surface water storage, increasing surface ponding and infiltration, decreasing drainage capacity, and imposing a higher water table across the floodplain and wetlands. Mitigation Approach for Individual Reaches Mitigation approaches for each reach in the B56 Site have been outlined below. Table 7 provides an overview of the suggested mitigation activities that will be employed to achieve the targeted objectives within each reach. Pollard Swamp - Reach 1 Headwater Restoration - Mitigation activities will aim to restore headwater stream-wetland-floodplain system functionality by filling in the existing ditched channel and restoring appropriate grade, hydrology, and vegetative communities. Existing buffer hardwoods will be preserved and will continue to provide a stabilized flow path for restored stream and riparian wetlands, and a 100 foot buffer will be added to each side of the valley centerline to protect the restored system and regulate incoming surface flow from outside the conservation easement. 21 1 ne Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 Pollard Swamp - Reach 2 and 3 Priority 1 Restoration - Mitigation activities include raising and re -meandering the channel with appropriate dimensions to reconnect hydrology with the floodplain and restore/enhance riparian wetlands adjacent to the stream. Within the channel, in -stream structures will be installed, including log cross vanes, toe wood, and other woody debris to protect restored banks, maintain channel grade in riffles, and enhance natural habitat within the restored profile. A 150-foot buffer will be added on either side of the stream valley along Reach 2 and along the East side of Reach 3. A 50-foot buffer will be added along the West bank of Reach 3. As Reach 3 reaches its tie in location at the southern end of the Site the stream will need to be transitioned from a Priority 1 restoration back down to tie in to the existing channel before flowing off -site This transition is gradual over the last 430 feet of the reach and is shown on Sheet 13 of the attached Draft Mitigation Plan Drawings. U T2 Headwater Restoration - Mitigation activities will restore headwater stream systems by filling in existing ditched channel and restoring gradual grade and hydrology. Existing trees and roots will be supplemented by tree, shrub, and herbaceous plantings to provide a stabilized flow path for the restored system, and a 100-foot buffer will be planted on either side of the valley. U T3 Headwater Restoration - Mitigation activities will restore headwater stream systems by filling in existing ditched channel and restoring gradual grade and hydrology. Existing trees and roots will be supplemented by tree, shrub, and herbaceous plantings to provide a stabilized flow path for the restored system, and a 100-foot buffer will be planted on either side of the valley. WETLAND MITIGATION WORK PLAN Through restoration of the headwater stream systems and Priority 1 restoration of the downstream systems, riparian and headwater wetlands will be restored throughout the system. Based on topography/LIDAR and presence of hydric soils, there are wetlands that are anticipated to be restored through filling of the ditches and restoration of the headwater systems (hydrology and vegetation). These areas will be monitored after restoration to determine the extent of restoration achieved. A summary of the mitigation approach and areas for each system is provided in the table below. Table 8 - Wetiona Mitigation Approach Summary Mitigation Approach gation Area (ac.) Restoration 78.1 Wetland Restoration Approach Description Wetland restoration activities aim to uplift site hydrology, surface and subsurface hydrologic connectivity, vegetation diversity/density/composition/vigor, and to provide improvements that benefit downstream waters. On site wetlands will be restored as part of the headwater stream restoration activities and by converting vegetation from commercial pine plantation to bottomland hardwood forest species. These new plantings will provide flow velocity control, soil stability, habitat, and additional essential ecosystem The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 1 functions that will provide essential, permanent habitat for local fauna in areas where loblolly pine plantations make habitat variable and less diverse. Included below is a bulleted list of the proposed activities to be completed to accomplish wetland restoration on the site. Activities to restore these wetland systems include: Fill existing ditch as part of the headwater stream restoration approach. Fill any lateral ditches that currently drain the wetland restoration areas to the primary ditch. Remove berms and spoil piles that exist along ditches. Remove pine planting beds within the wetland restoration areas (as applicable) because they adversely affect drainage. Disk (if needed) the disturbed areas prior to planting. Re-establish native wetland vegetation within areas currently in pine production and within disturbed areas. Monitor the restored wetland areas for invasive species and treat as necessary to comply with the success criteria outlined in this document. VEGETATION AND PLANTING PLAN Planting within the Conservation Easement has been separated into three (3) zones to reflect differences in purpose and location, as well as differences in vegetation. Zone 1 is located along the stream bank and serves to provide bank stability and in -stream habitat along the channel. Zone 2 makes up the upland riparian buffer of each reach, providing a wide range of benefits including physicochemical and hydrological uplift to the channel as well as overbank habitat and erosion prevention. Zone 3 includes wetland plantings within the riparian buffer. Buffer widths for either side of each reach are provided in Table 9. The plant species proposed for zones 1 and 3 were selected based on reference vegetative conditions and various resources providing guidance on healthy North Carolina Coastal Plain bottomland hardwood communities. Planting ratios were identified based on relevant guidance to restore natural bottomland hardwood conditions that were impacted historically by land use and site manipulations. Tree seedlings will be planted at a density of 500 stems per acre. Due to the differences in hydrologic purpose and ecological benefit, different planting profiles are proposed for Headwater and stream mitigation areas. Typical planting sections are provided in the project plan set, Appenc, n Sheets.

The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan — DRAFT February 2020 1 STREAM MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Vegetative Monitoring Streams and Wetlands g 9i ) Vegetative monitoring will be conducted per the October 24, 2016 "Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update" ("NCIRT guidance") with the exception that the sites are relatively small, and the Sponsor will increase the percent monitored to obtain an accurate measurement of survival, species variability, and trees per acre. Five (5) percent of the total planted portion of the site will be monitored with vegetation plots. The NCIRT guidance states that this area requirement can be adjusted on a case by case basis for these types of sites. A combination of fixed (50%) and random (50%) 0.05-acre plots will cover five (5) percent of the planted area on site. Planted area acreage was determined based on anticipated supplemental planting to expand existing hardwood areas and replace absent buffers. Tree seedlings will be planted at a density of 500 stems per acre. Planted acreages and monitoring plot counts are provided in the table below. Locations are shown in Invasive species will be monitored visually during field visits to ensure that no species threatens the growth of the planted and native community vegetation. The native community vegetation may include the presence of some pine species so long as the vegetative performance standards are met as described in Section 8.3. Table 17 - Vegetative Monitoring Plots Number of Tree Vegetative Monitoring Plots Planted Area Seedlings to be Planted Permanent Random 99.1 49,550 50 49 Headwater Stream Monitoring Headwater monitoring will be conducted every year for seven (7) years. Surface flow will be documented using gauges or photo(s) (i.e. time lapse/game cameras) and will be monitored in accordance with the 2016 guidance. Stream Channel Stability and Stream Hydrology Monitoring Channel stability and hydrology monitoring will be conducted, per the 2016 guidance. Due to the narrow width of the channels in the B56 Site, the Bank Sponsor will place two (2) cross sections per 1,000 feet of stream. Crest gauges will be installed to monitor channel hydrology and will be capable of monitoring frequency and duration of overbank events. Visual Monitoring Monitoring will be conducted with a walkthrough of the entire project area, looking to identify areas of low stem density, poor plant vigor, prolonged inundation, native and exotic invasive species, beaver activity, herbivory, encroachments, indicators of livestock access, or other areas of concern. Results of both monitoring walkthroughs each year will be reported in the annual monitoring report, where -in recommended courses of action shall be identified where necessary. Any areas of concern will be reevaluated on all subsequent visual assessments. 27 is Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 8.2 WETLAND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS MONITORING HYDROLOGY AND REPORTING HYDROLOGIC DATA Monitoring of areas of wetland restoration will be conducted per the 2016 guidance. Installation of groundwater equipment will be in accordance with techniques and standards described in the USACE Technical Standard for Water Table Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites. Wells will be installed in wetland mitigation areas, and the location of these wells is shown in 17-Monitoring Plat. Hydrologic success of wetlands will be determined based on published guidance (IRT 2016) or through comparison to measured reference condition. 8.3 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS VEGETATION PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Success will be identified based on interim stem density criteria provided in the 2016 NCIRT guidance: Survival of at least 320 stems per acre at the end of year 3, 260 stems per acre by the end of year 5, and 210 stems per acre at the end of year 7. Per IRT guidance, coastal plain projects must maintain vegetation that averages seven (7) feet in height at year 5 and ten (10) feet in height at year 7. No one species may comprise more than fifty (50) percent of the total composition within any plot at year 3, 5, or 7. No more than five (5) percent invasive species may occur be present. STREAM CHANNEL STABILITY AND STREAM HYDROLOGY PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Stream Channel Flow Perennial and Intermittent Channels All perennial channels shall receive sufficient flow throughout the monitoring period to maintain an ordinary high-water mark. Surface flow within intermittent tributaries must be documented to occur every year for at least thirty (30) consecutive days during the prescribed monitoring period, per the 2016 NCIRT guidance. Perennial streams must have continuous surface flow. See the "Headwater Stream Flow Performance Standards" section that follows for headwater systems. Channel Stability Bank Height Ratios and Entrenchment Ratios shall meet minimum/maximum requirements as provided in the 2016 NCIRT guidance, and not differ by more than ten (10) percent from baseline conditions. Bank Height Ratios shall not exceed 1.2. Entrenchment Ratios shall not be less than 2.2. Bankfull Events The project shall remain stable during four (4) separate bankfull events occurring in separate years during monitoring years 1 through 7. The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 1 M Headwater Stream Flow Performance Standards Success will be based on the standards outlined in the 2016 NCIRT guidance for Headwater Stream Performance Standards with the exception that continuous surface water flow must be documented to occur every year for at least thirty (30) consecutive days for monitoring years 2 through 7. The extensive ditch drainage system that will be filled during restoration activities will require a large amount of material to be moved and placed in the existing ditches. To reduce disturbance within the headwater system existing spoil material from on -site will be used to fill the ditches and some small portions of the ditches will be graded to act as vernal pools. It will take a few seasons for an appropriate number of fines to wash into the system naturally to fill the voids of the newly placed material therefore sealing it up. During years 1 through 3 these fines will work their way into the system and return baseflow to the flow path of the headwater valley system. Visual identification of natural channel formation indicators will be performed in accordance with the schedule provided in the 2016 NCIRT monitoring guidance will. WETLAND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Wetland Hydrologic Performance Criteria All areas of wetland restoration must be monitored to determine whether the restored areas meet the established percent saturation/hydroperiod thresholds as described in the "Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update, North Carolina Interagency Review Team" dated October 24, 2016. The areas of proposed wetland restoration adjacent to the project reach contain Pantego hydric soils and Tomotley fine sandy loam which require 12-16% and 10-12% wetland saturation ranges respectively per "Table 1 - Wetland Saturation Threshold Table" of the above referenced document. 8.4 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN An integral part of a successful compensatory mitigation project is early detection of problems during implementation, determining the cause(s) of those problems, and attempting to correct those problems so that the compensatory mitigation project achieves its objectives and ecological performance standards. Interim performance standards are crucial to ensuring compensatory mitigation performance follows a trajectory to attain final compensatory mitigation success. In the event the Site or a specific component of the Site fails to achieve the necessary performance standards as specified in Section 8.3, the Sponsor shall notify the members of the IRT and work with the IRT to develop contingency plans and remedial actions. Large scale corrective measures may require an Adaptive Management Plan. Large scale corrective measures may include, but are not limited to, re- grading part of the mitigation site, replanting more than twenty (20) percent of the Site to improve composition or species diversity, or the addition of stabilization structures. The Adaptive Management Plan review will follow Section 332.8(o)(9) of the 2008 Mitigation Rule, part of the streamlined review process, which requires an IRT review period of 15 calendar days. Once the Adaptive Management plan is prepared, the Sponsor will: • Notify the USACE as required by the Nationwide Permit 27 general conditions. • Notify NCDWR if necessary for 401 conditions. • Revise performance standards, maintenance requirements, and monitoring requirements as necessary. • Obtain other permits as necessary. 29 is miudle Neuse Stream a, iu dvetiand Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 Submit the Adaptive Management Plan for IRT review and approval. Implement the Adaptive Management Plan. Provide the IRT a Record Drawing/As-Built of corrective actions. The Final Listed below are identified project risks and uncertainties that have been evaluated in the development of design plans for the Site, along with methods that have been/will be used to address these concerns. Methods to address may be presented as adaptive management. 1. Land use development: There is potential for increased land development around the site in the future that could lead to additional runoff and changes to watershed hydrology. • Methods to Address: The project area has seen little development in recent years and it is unlikely that development will threaten the site in the foreseeable future. Restoration of the site to reconnect streams to their floodplains will reduce the likelihood of future degradation from watershed changes, as increased flows will spread over a wider floodplain. Grade control (in the form of constructed in -stream structures and natural bedrock outcrops) will decrease the chances of future channel incision. 2. Easement Encroachment: Any encroachment to the conservation easement. (Including road widening, culvert maintenance, utility easements, etc.) • Methods to Address: To ensure that there are no encroachment issues within the easement boundary, the Sponsor will clearly mark the easement boundary with appropriate signage. The Sponsor will also work in conjunction with the conservation easement holder to routinely monitor the Site for encroachment issues. Any encroachments that do occur will be remedied by the sponsor to address any damage and provide any other corrections required by the IRT. 3. Drought and Floods: There is potential for extreme climatic conditions during the monitoring period of the project. Methods to Address: The Sponsor will apply adaptive management techniques as necessary to meet the site performance criteria. Such adaptive management may include replanting, channel damage repair, irrigation, or other methods. If adaptive management activities are significant, additional monitoring may be required by the IRT. 4. Beavers: While there was no evidence of recent beaver activity during recent assessments, there is potential for beavers to colonize the site during the monitoring period of the project. • Methods to Address: If beaver colonization does occur, the sponsor will take steps to trap and remove beaver if they colonize the Site during the monitoring period. Hydrologic Trespass: Since the Sponsor owns the lands surrounding the Site, there is little or no potential for hydrologic trespass onto any other adjacent landowners. • Methods to Address: The project has been designed and will be constructed utilizing methodologies which will greatly reduce the potential of hydrologic trespass outside of the conservation easement boundary. Based off this information, the possibility of hydrologic trespass is extremely unlikely and is not expected to be an issue. 6. Invasive/Nuisance Species: No significant number of invasive/nuisance vegetation currently exist in the conservation easement area. However, there is the potential for such species to have a negative impact of the restored vegetation within the easement area. The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 1 • Methods to Address: The sponsor will be diligent is monitoring for any invasive vegetation and if any is found, will visually assess, photograph, and map the areas affected. These areas will be treated by mechanical or chemical methods, so that the invasive species are no more than five (5) percent of the easement acreage, and zero tolerance for kudzu. Any vegetation requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with the NC Department of Agriculture rules and regulations. POST -CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION An as -built survey will be conducted following construction to document channel condition and provide baseline data for comparison to future monitoring reports. Information included in the as -built will be in accordance with USACE guidance and has been identified in the monitoring requirements and performance standards sections. Monitoring reports will be provided to the Wilmington District USACE for review no later than April 1 st of the year following the monitoring activity. 8.6 LONG-1 ERM MANAGEMENT PLAN Land use and property boundaries along with the proposed mitigation plan were designed to minimize long-term management conflicts. As a result, the potential for hydrologic and boundary conflicts have been minimized. The Sponsor has identified Unique Places to Save (a 501 (c)(3) entity) as the grantee of the conservation easement deed. The recorded Conservation Easement deed will ensure the protection of the project in perpetuity. The site -protection instrument is provided in ,vents. The overall purpose of the Site is to establish a self-sustaining, natural ecological resource. Proposed restoration and enhancement activities should not require maintenance beyond the proposed monitoring period to provide aquatic resource functions in perpetuity. The Bank Sponsor will serve as long-term manager of the Site. Because Weyerhaeuser has been the landowner and established a practice of managing the land over many decades, it is appropriate that Weyerhaeuser NR continues in this role, subject to the restrictions of the Conservation Easement. Weyerhaeuser maintains the human and capital resources to accomplish this role. Ownership of the Mitigation Site It is anticipated that Weyerhaeuser NR will remain the owner of the Site. The Site will be protected by a conservation easement held by Unique Places to Save. Identification of Long -Term Management Activities No long-term management activities are proposed except those that are related to the general maintenance of the Site. These general activities will include removal of significant woody impediments (such as downed trees) to road passage, maintenance of access roads and gates, and periodic visual inspections to identify the same. ong-Term Maintenance and Protection Account Since no long-term management activities are proposed for this Site, a long-term maintenance and protection account is not being established for the Site. 31 The Middle Neuse Stream a, iu vdetland Umbrella MILIgation banK I beautort 56 Site mitigation Tian - ur<AFT February 2020 =INANCIAL ASSURANCES In accordance to Section IX (Financial Assurances) found in the Middle Neuse UMBI, the Bank Sponsor shall provide financial assurances in the form of a Performance Bond to the IRT sufficient to assure completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and monitoring, and any remedial work required. The Sponsor plans to retain twenty (20) percent of the total construction costs to help pay for any remedial work that might be required during the monitoring period. Financial assurances shall be payable at the direction of the USACE to its designee or to a standby trust. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the USACE in the event of default by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. A financial assurance must be in the form that ensures that the USACE receives notification at least 120 days in advance of any termination or revocation. The amount of the Performance Bond shall be based on costs to implement the Site through monitoring and any remedial work that may be required. The Performance Bond shall be in place prior to the first credit release. The costs that are detailed in the table below include the construction and monitoring costs for the Site. Table 18 — Estimated Amount Required for Performance Bond Cost Site Prep Mechanical Shear (within wetland and riparian buffers) $20,399.49 Site Prep Mechanical Rake (within wetland and riparian buffers) $10,408.06 Site Prep Chemical Application (If needed within wetland and riparian buffers) $8,846.66 Site Prep Prescribed Burn (if needed within wetland and riparian buffers) $3,642.62 Planting Labor and Seedlings (wetland and riparian buffers) $23,427.07 Stream Construction Work (in -stream and riparian buffer work) $585,217.50 As -built Report $38,379.49 Annual Monitoring Total Estimated Amount of Performance Bond $310,057.20 $1,000,378.09 The USACE will review the as -built and annual monitoring reports to evaluate the success of the ecological restoration. Success will be evaluated based on the Site's adherence to performance standards specified in Section 8.3. As performance standards are met, the Bank Sponsor will request a reduction in the amount of the performance bond based on the reduction schedule provided below. The reduction schedule assumes that the Site will meet all performance standards on an annual basis. able 19 — rerrormance Bond Reduction _�aneauie 1 - ivi Establishment of Performance Bond Reduction Amount (%) Reduction Amount ($) N/A N/A 55.97% $559,932.61 Bond Amount $1,000,378.09 2 USACE approval of As -Built Report $440,445.48 $377,524.70 $314,603.91 3 USACE approval of Year 1 Monitoring 6.29% $62,920.78 4 USACE approval of Year 2 Monitoring 6.29% $62,920.78 5 USACE approval of Year 3 Monitoring 6.29% $62,920.78 $251,683.13 6 USACE approval of Year 4 Monitoring 6.29% 6.29% 6.29% $62,920.78 $188,762.35 7 USACE approval of Year 5 Monitoring $62,920.78 $125,841.57 8 USACE approval of Year 6 Monitoring $62,920.78 $62,920.78 9 USACE approval of Year 7 Monitoring 6.29% $62,920.78 $0.00 Total 100% $1,000,378.09 The Middle Neuse Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Bank I Beaufort 56 Site Mitigation Plan - DRAFT February 2020 1 Sweet, W.

'Equal to the number of feet of stream in each Mitigation Type. If stream reaches are not creditable, they should be excluded fromthis measurement, even if theyfall within the easement. °This amount is the maximum buffer area possible based on the linearfootage of stream length if channel were perfectly straight with full buffer width. This number is not used in calculations, but is provided as a reference. 'Maximum potential size (in square feet) of each buffer zone measured around all creditable stream reaches, calculated using GIS, including areas outside ofthe easement. The inner zone(0-15) should be measured from the top of the OHWM or the edge ofthe average stream width if OHWM is not known. Non -creditable stream reaches within the easement should be removed priorto calculatingthis area wtih GIS. 'Square feet in each buffer zone, as measured by GIS, excluding non -forested areas, all other credit type (e.g., wetland, nutrient offset, buffer), easement exceptions, open water, areas failing to meet the vegetation performance standard, etc. Additional credit is given to 150 feet in buffer width, so areas within the easement that are more than 150feet from creditable streams should not be included in this measurement. Non -creditable stream reaches within the easement should be removed priorto calculatingthis area wtih GIS.
