Good afternoon all,
The Permittee, Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC (Atlantic) is pleased to present this Permittee Responsible Mitigation Plan
(PRMP) for compensatory mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts associated with the construction of the Atlantic
Coast Pipeline (ACP) in five Hydrologic Units in North Carolina.
The document attached describes how the PRMP will compensate for the unavoidable wetland impacts in the subject
Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUC). The goal of the PRMP is the re-establishment of appropriate riparian and non -riparian
forested wetlands in sufficient acreage to compensate for both wetland conversion and permanent wetland loss
associated with construction of the ACP in each subject HUC.
We would appreciate your review and concurrence and look forward to continuing to work with you on the ACP.
Sincerely,

Re: Atlantic Coast Pipeline
Submittal of Permittee Responsible Mitigation Plan for the Proposed Atlantic Coast
Pipeline. Project in North Carolina
Dear Ms. Dailey, and Ms. Greer:
The Permittee, Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC (Atlantic) is pleased to present this Permittee Responsible
Mitigation Plan (PRMP) for compensatory mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts associated with
the construction of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) in five Hydrologic Units in North Carolina,
This document describes how the PRMP will compensate for the unavoidable wetland impacts in the
subject Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUC). The goal of the PRMP is the re-establishment of appropriate
riparian and non -riparian forested wetlands in sufficient acreage to compensate for both wetland
conversion and permanent wetland loss associated with construction of the ACP in each subject HUC.
Atlantic has contracted with Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC (RES) to provide this PRMP. RES
will be responsible for implementation of the PRMP, monitoring, meeting performance standards, and
long-term management of the PRM sites as described in 33 CFR 332.3 (1) (Federal Register 2005).
Project and Company Background
Atlantic is a company formed by four major U.S. energy companies — Dominion Energy, Duke Energy
Corporation, Piedmont Natural Gas Co., Inc., and Southern Company Gas. Atlantic will own and operate
the proposed ACP, an approximately 600 -mile -long, interstate natural gas transmission pipeline system
designed to meet growing energy needs in Virginia and North Carolina. The ACP will deliver up to 1.5
billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of natural gas to be used to generate electricity, heat homes, and run
local businesses. The underground pipeline project will facilitate cleaner air, increase reliability and
security of natural gas supplies, and provide a significant economic boost in Virginia and North Carolina.

1.0 Introduction
Dominion Energy Transmission, Inc. (Permittee) presents this Permittee Responsible Mitigation Plan
(PRMP) for compensatory mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts associated with the construction of
the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) in five Hydrologic Units detailed in Table 1. This PRMP is prepared in
accordance with the Compensatory Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic Resources; Final Rule issued on April
10, 2008 as detailed in §332.4 (c) of the Federal Register (Volume 73 Number 70). In addition, the PRMP
utilizes the Wilmington District IRT Wetland Mitigation Guidelines (2013) and Wilmington District IRT
Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update (2016).
The Permittee has contracted with Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC (RES) to provide this PRMP.
RES will be responsible for implementation of the PRMP, monitoring, meeting performance standards, and
long-term management of the PRM sites as described in 33 CFR 332.3 (1) (Federal Register 2008). This
document describes how the PRMP will compensate for the unavoidable wetland impacts in the subject
Hydrologic Unit Codes (RUCs). The goal of the PRMP is the re-establishment of appropriate riparian and
non -riparian forested wetlands in sufficient acreage to compensate for both wetland conversion and
permanent wetland loss associated with construction of the ACP in each subject HUC.
Atlantic acknowledges that contracting with a third -party to implement a PRMP for any or all of its
compensatory mitigation requirements does not alleviate the Permittee of the legal responsibility for the
compensatory mitigation associated with the ACP project.

2 Multiple proposed sites are presented for some HUCs as options. Permittee proposes to implement a
single PRM site for riparian wetlands and a single site for non -riparian wetlands.

1.1 Property Location
The goal of the PRM sites is to provide restored and/or enhanced hardwood forested wetland ecosystems,
ancillary wetland preservation, stream improvements, and riparian buffer improvements may also be
provided. For credit calculation purposes, a minimum of 1:1 ratio for impacted acres and wetland mitigation
units (WMU) is contemplated to be restored within each HUC.
The properties associated with the PRM sites are located entirely within the respective HUC of the non -
riparian and riparian wetland impacts for which they are providing compensation. The attached Overview
Map, provides the location of each proposed site relative to HUC boundaries and the ACP route. The Site
Specific Mitigation Plan for each proposed site provides location details and driving directions.
1.2 Property Ownership and Responsible Party Qualifications
All proposed sites are in private ownership and under easement contract with RES or under contract for fee
simple purchase by a wholly-owned subsidiary of RES. RES will be the entity responsible for land
management and administration. Signed Landowner Authorization Forms are included in Attachment B.
RES was founded in February 2007 and grew organically from its roots restoring Louisiana wetlands to
deliver mitigation solutions across Louisiana, Texas, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina. In December 2014, RES acquired industry pioneer Environmental Banc
& Exchange, LLC (EBX) and EBX-Neuse I, LLC (a partnership), expanding the RES knowledge base and
geographic and technical delivery capabilities.
RES develops and supplies ecological offsets to help public and private sector clients obtain required
permits for unavoidable, project -related impacts to wetlands, streams, and habitats. RES helps clients
proactively manage risk from operations in environmentally sensitive areas by providing proactive impact
analyses, streamlining permitting processes, and limiting liability and regulatory exposure.
• RES is the premier provider of ecological offset solutions in the US
• RES founded in 2007 / EBX founded in 1997
• 110 mitigation sites permitted/in process
• Conservation easements protecting roughly 400 sites
• 32,000 restored wetland acres
• 4,000 acres of custom mitigation solutions
• 155 miles of stream restoration
• Reduced over 240 tons of nutrients
• Rehabilitated and preserved over 3,700 acres of endangered species habitats
In North Carolina, RES and its affiliated companies have won over $70 million in mitigation contracts
with North Carolina state agencies. With a regional office in Raleigh staffed with full-time professionals,
RES has the ability to carry out existing projects, as well as secure and carry out new projects and banks
in the State.

1.3 Recorded Liens, Encumbrances, or Restrictions
There are no known recorded liens, encumbrances, servitudes or other restrictions in effect on the proposed
PRM sites. Site specific constraints are discussed in each site's respective plan.
2.0 Impact Avoidance and Minimization
Specific data regarding impact avoidance and minimization can be found within Permittee's permit
application, to which this PRMP is attached.
3.0 PRM Site Protection
The owner of each PRM site shall burden the subject properties with Permanent Conservation Easements
in accordance with North Carolina laws. Prior to execution of the Conservation Easements, the owner shall
provide evidence that the entities proposed to hold the Conservation Easements are approved by the
USACE. Upon execution of the Conservation Easements, the easement holder shall hold and enforce the
Conservation Easement placed on the PRM sites and the PRM sites shall be protected in perpetuity.
The Conservation Easements shall be signed and filed in the public record of each County with this Permit
and PRMP. After filing, a copy of the recorded Conservation Easement, clearly showing the book, page
and date of filing, will be provided to USACE.
The owner, Permittee and the Permittee's contractor, RES, understand that the Conservation Easements
apply to each PRM site in its entirety. No other human activities that result in the material degradation of
habitat within the PRM sites shall occur without written authorization from the easement holder and
USACE.
Endowment funds required to uphold easement restrictions shall be negotiated prior to site transfer to the
responsible parry.
4.0 Site Specific Conceptual Mitigation Plans
4.1 Blue Rose Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The Blue Rose site presents the opportunity to provide both riparian and non -riparian mitigation in the
Tar -Pamlico 03020101 flUC. The site has been drained and converted to agricultural production land
use. The proposed mitigation work will re-establish headwater wetland and adjacent wet hardwood flat
ecological communities. This work will provide runoff filtration, water storage, and wildlife habitat
contiguous with a larger undisturbed forested area. The Blue Rose site is also proposed to provide
riparian buffer mitigation beyond the wetland mitigation footprint.
Project Location and Driving Directions
The site is located approximately 2 miles west of Whitakers in Nash County (Figures 1 and 2). The GPS
coordinates of the site are 36°5'58.45"N and 77°44'3.757"W. To access the site from the town of

Whitakers, head West on NC -33 for approximately 2 miles, and then turn left into Gaskill Farm Rd. From
this road you can access the site.
Existing Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Map does not depict
wetlands within the project site (Figure 5).
Detailed wetland delineation has not been performed. The site will be delineated by RES and submitted to
the USACE for a preliminary jurisdictional determination.
General Physiographic and Geologic Characteristics
The site is located in the Rolling Coastal Plain level IV ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains level III
ecoregion. The Rolling Coastal Plain extends south from Virginia and covers much of the northern upper
coastal plain of North Carolina. Relief, elevation, and stream gradients are generally greater than to the
east, and soils tend to be better drained. It has a slightly cooler and shorter growing season, but is a
productive agricultural region with typical crops of corn, soybeans, tobacco, cotton, sweet potatoes,
peanuts, and wheat. The region appears to be biologically less diverse than the coastal plain regions to the
south. This region contains valuable habitat and provides important wildlife corridors. (USEPA)
Site Mapped Soil Series
Preliminary field investigations confirm the presence of hydric soil throughout the site. Detailed soil
mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist will be provided in the Final Mitigation Plan. Existing soil
information from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) shows the property is located within
the Lynchburg -Rains -Goldsboro Association (Table 2). The series in the lower concave landscape areas
are mapped as a Rains fine sandy loam (Figure 4). Most of the project soils are Rains fine sandy loam
(hydric soil) and are nearly level poorly drained soils. Mapped in the higher nearly level to convex
landscapes are well drained Goldsboro fine sandy loams and moderately well drained Norfolk loamy sand.

Endangered/Threatened Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions
of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The USFWS database (accessed
29 June 2017) lists four endangered species for Nash County, North Carolina: red -cockaded woodpecker
(Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), and Tar River spinymussel (Elliptio
steinstansana). (Table 3). The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is protected under the Bald and
Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA) and prohibits take of bald and golden eagles. No protected species or
potential habitat for protected species was observed during preliminary site evaluations.

In addition to the USFWS database, the most recent (January, 2017) NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP)
GIS database was consulted to determine whether previously cataloged occurrences of protected species
are mapped within one mile of the site. Results from NHP indicated that there are no known occurrences
within a one -mile radius of the project area. Based on initial site investigations, no impacts to federally
protected species are anticipated as a result of the proposed Project. The environmental screening phase of
the Project will include USFWS coordination to confirm these findings.

Vegetation and Wildlife
Current land use around the site is primarily agricultural, undeveloped land, and single-family homes. Land -
use immediately surrounding the project includes pasture supporting livestock. The landscape consists of
small ridges with linear depressions running between. A major ditch runs northwest from Gaskill Farm
Road through the center of the property and into a jurisdictional feature just off property. Several shallow
ditches occur in the agricultural fields and pasture to improve surface drainage offsite. Soil investigations
show that much of the low-lying landscape exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow seasonal high water
table. There are two community types present within the project area: agricultural/pasture and forest. The
re-establishment areas are primarily agricultural/pasture.
The proposed re-establishment area is a concave landscape with ditching to drain surface and ground water
for crop and pasture establishment. Surface churning from livestock in the area limits infiltration and both
surface and subsurface long-term storage capacity. Within this proposed re-establishment area, the pasture
is Bermuda (Cynodon) with buttercup (Ranunculus), and the ditched area has common rush (Juncus effusus)
with no trees present. Other grasses and weeds are limited.
Cultural Resources
A review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (accessed June
29, 2017) database did not reveal any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological resources on the
proposed project property. No impacts are anticipated from project activities as there are no surveyed sites
listed in the area. The environmental screening phase of the project will include SHPO coordination to
confirm these findings.
Constraints
There are no major constraints to construction of the site. The site is readily accessible from Gaskill Farm
Road via multiple access roads on property. There are no existing mineral rights conflicts, easements, or
utility corridors within the proposed Bank boundaries.

Blue Rose Wetland Mitigation Approach
The project provides an excellent opportunity for the re-establishment of a 11.36 -acre coastal plain
headwater and 6.78 -acre wet hardwood flat forest ecological communities. The proposed wetland
restoration areas consist of ditched and drained hydric soils. Surrounding land use consists of active pasture
and agricultural fields. Extensive ditching and land -use practices have altered hydrology and vegetation
significantly to where jurisdiction has been removed. Hydric soils within the proposed wetlands were
confirmed in preliminary site visits and will be verified by a licensed soil scientist. Wetland restoration
activities will include:
• The existing ditches will be backfilled and stabilized;
• Grading restoration areas to match historical contours and promote detention and infiltration;
• Excluding livestock and subsoil ripping to alleviate compaction and promote soil structure;
and
• Re-establishment areas will be replanted with appropriate tree species and a permanent seedmix.
The resulting natural community will provide a functional, stable wetland system with a diversity of habitats
and offer multiple values and uses.
Preliminary field investigations confirmed the presence of hydric soils throughout the project site. The
proposed wetland design will include detailed soil mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist, hydrologic
modeling, and design. The hydric soil areas have been altered and drained to a degree that they are
trafficable by agricultural equipment and livestock throughout the year. The agricultural areas are
dominated by pasture grasses and weeds, and mostly devoid of natural vegetation.
Hydrology will be restored to the wetland areas by removing the artificial drainage currently in place,
revegetation, and minor grading. No hydrologic trespass will affect areas outside the proposed conservation
easement. These hydrology restoration activities will result in an elevated seasonal high water table and
increased precipitation infiltration across the site.
The Wetland Re-establishment areas will be restored to a mixture of riparian Headwater Forest and non -
riparian Wet Hardwood Flat, as described in the NC Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) dichotomous
key to general NC wetland types. The site is expected to support a mosaic of habitat types including wetter,
lower -lying areas more typically associated with Bottomland Hardwood Forests and areas expected to be
only intermittently saturated, more typical of Headwater Forests. A 1:1 credit ratio is proposed for the
wetland re-establishment areas.
Headwater Forest, is typically intermittently inundated by surface water or seasonally saturated to semi -
permanently saturated. These communities occur in the wettest portions of large river floodplains.
Groundwater seepage and diffuse surface flow are often important sources of water. Headwater Forests are
relatively dry when compared to other riparian wetland types. Vegetation is dominated by hardwood tree
species, including various oaks (Quercus spp.), red maple (Acer rubrum), ashes (Fraxinus spp.), sweetgum
(Liquidambar styraciflua), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis)
Wet Hardwood Flat, is typically intermittently to seasonally saturated. Precipitation and sheet runoff is the
primary hydrology source. This wetland type is characterized by flat interstream topography and low
0

hydraulic conductivity soils that provide low runoff and high water storage. This wetland type is dominated
by hardwood tree species, including various oaks, red maple, ashes, and blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica).
hi addition to the proposed wetland mitigation, riparian buffer is proposed downstream of the headwater
forest re-establishment area.
4.2 Chisolm Bay Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The Chisolm Bay site presents the opportunity to provide both riparian and non -riparian mitigation in the
Lumber 03040203 HUC. The site has been drained and converted to agricultural production land use.
The proposed mitigation work will re-establish a headwater wetland and Carolina bay ecological
communities. This work will provide runoff filtration, water storage, and wildlife habitat.
Project Location and Driving Directions
The site is located approximately 3 miles southwest of Raeford in Hoke County (Figures 7 and 8). The
GPS coordinates of the site are 34.945719°N and -79.246625 °W. To access the site from the town of
Raeford, head southwest on US -401 Laurinburg Rd for approximately 3.5 miles, and then turn left into
Chisolm Rd. and drive for approximately 2.25 miles to arrive at the south end of the site.
Existing Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
The USFWS NWI Map depicts wetlands within the project site (Figure 11). The upper portion of easement
contains a PEM1A (Freshwater emergent wetland).
Detailed wetland delineation has not been performed. The site will be delineated by RES and submitted to
the USACE for a preliminary jurisdictional determination.

General Physiographic and Geologic Characteristics
The site is located in the Atlantic Southern Loam Plains level IV ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains
level III ecoregion. This ecoregion is lower, flatter, more gently rolling, with finer -textured soils. These are
shallow, elliptical depressions, often swampy or wet in the middle with dry sandy rims. The region has the
highest concentration of Carolina bays. Carolina bays not drained for agriculture often contain rare or
endangered plant and animal species. This region contains valuable habitat and provides important wildlife
corridors. (USEPA)
Site Mapped Soil Series
Preliminary field investigations confirm the presence of hydric soil throughout the site. Detailed soil
mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist will be provided in the Final Mitigation Plan. Existing soil
information from the NRCS shows the property is located within the Norfolk-Exum-Goldsboro
Association (Table 4). The series in the lower concave landscape areas are mapped as a Woodington
loamy sand and a Pantego loam (Figure 10). Most of the project soils are either Norfolk loamy sand or
Pantego loam. Mapped in the higher nearly level to convex landscapes are well drained Goldsboro,
Norfolk, Duplin, and Lynchburg sandy loams and loamy sands.

Endangered/Threatened Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under
provisions of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The USFWS database
(accessed 29 June 2017) lists six endangered species for Hoke County, North Carolina: American
alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), red -cockaded woodpecker, Saint Francis' satyr butterfly
(Neonympha mitchelhi francisci), American chaffseed (Schwalbea americana), Michaux's sumac (Rhus
michauxii) and rough -leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulaefolia) (Table 5). The bald eagle is
protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA) and prohibits take of bald and golden
eagles. No protected species or potential habitat for protected species was observed during preliminary
site evaluations.
In addition to the USFWS database, the most recent (January, 2017) NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP)
GIS database was consulted to determine whether previously cataloged occurrences of protected species
are mapped within one mile of the site. Results from NHP indicated that there are no known occurrences
within a one -mile radius of the project area. Based on initial site investigations, no impacts to federally
protected species are anticipated as a result of the proposed Project. The environmental screening phase of
the Project will include USFWS coordination to confirm these findings.

Vegetation and Wildlife
Current land use around the site is primarily forestry and agricultural. There are low-density residential lots,
maintained vegetation, and two-lane roads also present in the immediate project vicinity. The landscape is
relatively flat with small depressions and ridges. A major ditch runs southeast through the center of the
property and eventually connects to Raft Swamp off property. Several shallow ditches occur in the
agricultural fields to improve surface drainage towards the main ditch. Soil investigations show that much
of the low-lying landscape exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow seasonal high water table. There
are two community types present within the project area: agricultural and forest. The re-establishment areas
are primarily agricultural. V
The proposed re-establishment area is a concave landscape with ditching to drain surface and ground water
for crop establishment. Within the proposed re-establishment area is corn and soybeans, while areas along
the ditch contain sparse patches of common rush and sedges (Carex sp.) with no trees present. Other grasses
and weeds are limited.
Cultural Resources
A review of the North Carolina SHPO GIS Web Service (accessed June 29, 2017) database did not reveal
any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological resources on the proposed project property. No
impacts are anticipated from project activities as there are no surveyed sites listed in the area. The
environmental screening phase of the project will include SHPO coordination to confirm these findings.
Constraints
There are no major constraints to construction of the site. The site is readily accessible from Chisolm Road
and Old Maxton Road. There are no existing mineral rights conflicts or easements within the proposed
Bank boundaries. A large overhead powerline crosses the proposed riparian wetland area and will be
excluded from the easement and credit generating area. The easement was shaped to purposefully avoid a
powerline easement that would bisect the project if the easement was continuous.
Chisolm Bay Wetland Mitigation Approach
The project provides an excellent opportunity for the re-establishment of a 6.55 -acre riparian headwater
forest and 7.49 -acre non -riparian pocosin wetland ecological community. The wetland restoration areas are
0

divided into two separate areas based on wetland type but have similar restoration approaches. The area to
the south consists of one main ditch that discharges to Raft Swamp off site. The additional wetland
restoration area is located to the north and is a small drained Carolina bay. Surrounding land use consists
of active forestry and agricultural fields. Extensive ditching and land -use practices have altered hydrology
and vegetation significantly to where jurisdiction has been removed. Hydric soils within the proposed
wetlands were confirmed in preliminary site visits and will be verified by a licensed soil scientist. Wetland
restoration activities will include:
• The existing ditches will be backfilled and stabilized;
• Grading restoration areas to match historical contours and promote detention and infiltration;
• Subsoil ripping to alleviate compaction and promote soil structure; and
• Areas will be replanted with appropriate tree species and a permanent seedmix.
The resulting natural community will provide a functional, stable wetland system with a diversity of habitats
and offer multiple values and uses.
Preliminary field investigations confirmed the presence of hydric soils throughout the project site. The
proposed wetland design will include detailed soil mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist, hydrologic
modeling, and design. The hydric soil areas have been altered and drained to a degree that they are
trafficable by agricultural equipment throughout the year. The agricultural areas are dominated by planted
crops, pasture grasses and weeds, and mostly devoid of natural vegetation.
Hydrology will be restored to the wetland areas by removing the artificial drainage currently in place,
revegetation, and minor grading. No hydrologic trespass will affect areas outside the proposed conservation
easement. These hydrology restoration activities will result in an elevated seasonal high water table and
increased precipitation infiltration across the site.
The Wetland Re-establishment areas will be restored to a mixture of headwater forest and pocosin, as
described in the NC Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) dichotomous key to general NC wetland
types. The site is expected to support a mosaic of habitat types including areas expected to be only
intermittently saturated, more typical of Headwater Forests and poorly drained basins more typical of
Pocosins. A 1:1 credit ratio is proposed for the wetland re-establishment areas.
Headwater Forest is typically intermittently inundated by surface water or seasonally saturated to semi -
permanently saturated. These communities occur in the wettest portions of large river floodplains.
Groundwater seepage and diffuse surface flow are often important sources of water. Headwater Forests are
relatively dry when compared to other riparian wetland types. Vegetation is dominated by hardwood tree
species, including various oaks, red maple, ashes, sweetgum, and sycamore.
Pocosin is typically seasonally saturated or inundated by a high or perched water table. The primary source
of water is a high water table resulting from precipitation and slow drainage. This wetland type is
characterized by poorly drained, interstream flats and in basins such as Carolina bays. This wetland type is
dominated by dense, waxy evergreen shrubs that typically include gallberries (Ilex sp.), fetterbushes
(Leucothoe sp.), and greenbriar (Smilax laurifolia).

4.3 Hickory Meadows Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The Hickory Meadows site presents the opportunity to provide both riparian and non -riparian mitigation
in the Tar -Pamlico 03020102 HUC. The site has been drained and converted to a golf course land use.
The proposed mitigation work will re-establish headwater wetland and adjacent wet hardwood flat
ecological communities. This work will provide runoff filtration, water storage, and wildlife habitat
contiguous with a larger undisturbed forested area. The Hickory Meadows site is also proposed to
provide riparian buffer mitigation beyond the wetland mitigation footprint.
Project Location and Driving Directions
The site is located approximately 12 miles north of Rocky Mount in Nash County (Figures 13 and 14).
The GPS coordinates of the site are 36.058494°N and -77.782736 °W. To access the site from the town of
Rocky Mount, head west on US -64 for about 5 miles then take I-95 N for I 1 miles taking the Swift Creek
School Rd. exit and turn right off of the highway and then immediately the site is on the right side of the
road.
Existing Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
The USFWS NWI Map depicts wetlands within the project site (Figure 17). There are a few small portions
scattered throughout the easement including PUBHh (Freshwater Pond), PUBHh (Freshwater Pond), and
PEM1Fh (Freshwater emergent wetland).
Detailed wetland delineation has not been performed. The site will be delineated by RES and submitted to
the USACE for a preliminary jurisdictional determination.
General Physiographic and Geologic Characteristics
The site is located in the Rolling Coastal Plain level IV ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains level III
ecoregion. The Rolling Coastal Plain extends south from Virginia and covers much of the northern upper
coastal plain of North Carolina. Relief, elevation, and stream gradients are generally greater than to the
east, and soils tend to be better drained. It has a slightly cooler and shorter growing season, but is a
productive agricultural region with typical crops of corn, soybeans, tobacco, cotton, sweet potatoes,
peanuts, and wheat. The region appears to be biologically less diverse than the coastal plain regions to the
south. This region contains valuable habitat and provides important wildlife corridors. (USEPA)
Site Mapped Soil Series
Preliminary field investigations confirm the presence of hydric soil throughout the site. Detailed soil
mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist will be provided in the Final Mitigation Plan. Existing soil
information from the NRCS shows the property is located within the Lynchburg -Rains -Goldsboro
Association (Table 6). The series in the lower concave landscape areas are mapped as a Rains fine sandy
loam (Figure 16). Most of the project soils are Rains fine sandy loam (hydric soil) and are nearly level
poorly drained soils. Mapped in the higher nearly level to convex landscapes are well drained Norfolk
loamy sands.

Vegetation and Wildlife
Current land use around the site is primarily agricultural, undeveloped land, and single-family homes. Land -
use immediately surrounding the project includes maintained land associated with a golf course. The
landscape consists of small rolling hills with broad interstream divides. A small ditch runs along the north
and western property boundaries and eventually connects to a small unnamed tributary to Beaverdam
Swamp, forming the southern boundary. Several shallow ditches occur in throughout the golf course to
improve surface drainage towards the main ditch. Soil investigations show that much of the low-lying
landscape exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow seasonal high water table. There are two community
12

types present within the project area: agricultural and forest. The re-establishment areas are primarily
agricultural.
The proposed re-establishment area is a concave landscape with ditching to drain surface and ground water
for golf course establishment. Within the proposed re-establishment area is Bermuda grass and various oak
and juniper species.
Cultural Resources
A review of the North Carolina SHPO GIS Web Service (accessed June 29, 2017) database did not reveal
any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological resources on the proposed project property. No
impacts are anticipated from project activities as there are no surveyed sites listed in the area. The
environmental screening phase of the project will include SHPO coordination to confirm these findings.
Constraints
There are no major constraints to construction of the site. The site is readily accessible from Swift Creek
School Road via multiple access roads on property. There are no existing mineral rights conflicts,
easements, or utility corridors within the proposed Bank boundaries.
Hickory Meadows Wetland Mitigation Approach
The project provides an excellent opportunity for the re-establishment of a 16.17 -acre riparian coastal plain
headwater wetland and 22.47 -acre wet hardwood forest ecological communities. The wetland restoration
areas consist of a network of ditches and wetland fill all converge into an unnamed tributary. The unnamed
tributary has been altered in order to drain surrounding land for commercial/golf course use. Surrounding
land use consists of active forestry and agricultural fields. Extensive ditching and landscape modifications
have altered hydrology and vegetation significantly to where jurisdiction has been removed. Hydric soils
within the proposed wetlands were confirmed in preliminary site visits and will be verified by a licensed
soil scientist. Wetland restoration activities will include:
• The existing ditches will be backfilled and stabilized;

The Wetland Re-establishment areas will be restored to a mixture of Hardwood Flat and Headwater Forest,
as described in the NC Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) dichotomous key to general NC wetland
types. The site is expected to support a mosaic of habitat types including wetter, lower -lying areas more
typically associated with Bottomland Hardwood Forests and areas expected to be only intermittently
saturated, more typical of Hardwood Flats and Headwater Forests. A 1:1 credit ratio is proposed for the
wetland re-establishment areas.

relatively dry when compared to other riparian wetland types. Vegetation is dominated by hardwood tree
species, including various oaks, red maple, ashes, sweetgum, and sycamore.
Wet Hardwood Flat, is typically intermittently to seasonally saturated. Precipitation and sheet runoff is the
primary hydrology source. This wetland type is characterized by flat interstream topography and low
hydraulic conductivity soils that provide low runoff and high water storage. This wetland type is dominated
by hardwood tree species, including various oaks, red maple, ashes, and blackgum.
In addition to the proposed wetland mitigation, riparian buffer is proposed downstream of the headwater
forest re-establishment area.
4.5 Lonesome Pine Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The Lonesome Pine site presents the opportunity to provide riparian wetland mitigation in the Tar -
Pamlico 03020102 HUC. The site has been drained and converted to agricultural production land use.
The proposed mitigation work will re-establish a headwater wetland ecological community. This work
will provide runoff filtration, water storage, and wildlife habitat contiguous with a larger undisturbed
forested area. The Lonesome Pine site will also incorporate a unique waterfowl habitat area within the
17

wetland restoration area. The excavated waterfowl pond acreage will not count toward the wetland
mitigation credits.
Project Location and Driving Directions
The site is located approximately 12 miles north of Rocky Mount in Nash County (Figures 25 and 26).
The GPS coordinates of the site are 36.139452°N and -77.823903 °W. To access the site from the town of
Rocky Mount, head west on US -64 for about 5 miles then take I-95 N for 11 miles taking the Swift Creek
School Rd. exit and turn left crossing over the highway for about a mile then turn right onto Lonesome
Pine Rd. The site is then accessible on the right side of the road about a mile down Lonesome Pine Rd.
Existing Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
The USFWS NWI Map depicts wetlands within the project site (Figure 29). The main drainage feature is
mapped as PEM1Ad (Palustrine Emergent Persistent Temporary Flooded - Ditched)
Detailed wetland delineation has not been performed. The site will be delineated by RES and submitted to
the USACE for a preliminary jurisdictional determination.
General Physiographic and Geologic Characteristics
The site is located in the Rolling Coastal Plain level IV ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains level III
ecoregion. This ecoregion consists of relief, elevation, and stream gradients that are generally greater than
regions to the east, and soils tend to be better drained. It has a slightly cooler and shorter growing season
but is a productive agricultural region. The region appears to be biologically less diverse than coastal plain
regions to the south. (USEPA)
Site Mapped Soil Series
Preliminary field investigations confirm the presence of hydric soil throughout the site. Detailed soil
mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist will be provided in the Final Mitigation Plan. Existing soil
information from the NRCS shows the property is located within the Rains -Norfolk -Goldsboro association
(Table 10). The series in the lower concave landscape areas are mapped as Rains fine sandy loam (Figure
28). Most of the project soils are Rains fine sandy loam (hydric soil) and is nearly level poorly drained soil.
Mapped in the higher nearly level to convex landscapes are well drained Norfolk sandy loam, Fairview fine
sandy loam and Bonneau loamy sand. Norfolk is a sandy loam with 0 to 2 percent slopes, Fairview is a fine
sandy loam with 2 to 6 percent slopes, and Bonneau is a loamy sand with 0 to 6 percent slopes.

Endangered/Threatened Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under
provisions of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The USFWS database
(accessed 29 June 2017) lists three endangered species for Nash County, North Carolina: red -cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterdon), and Tar River spinymussel
(Elliptio steinstansana). (Table 11). The bald eagle is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (BGPA) and prohibits take of bald and golden eagles. No protected species or potential
habitat for protected species was observed during preliminary site evaluations.
In addition to the USFWS database, the most recent (January, 2017) NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP)
GIS database was consulted to determine whether previously cataloged occurrences of protected species
are mapped within one mile of the site. Results from NHP indicated that there are six known occurrences
within a one -mile radius of the project area. Including Roanoke slabshell (Elliptio roanokensis), Tar River
spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana), Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Yellow Lampmussel
(Lampsilis cariosa), Eastern Lampmussel (Lampsilis radiate), and Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus).
Based on initial site investigations, no impacts to federally protected species are anticipated as a result of
the proposed Project. The environmental screening phase of the Project will include USFWS coordination
to confirm these findings.

Vegetation and Wildlife
Current land use around the site is primarily forest and row crop. There are low-density residential lots,
maintained vegetation, and two-lane roads also present in the immediate project vicinity. The landscape
consists of a natural drainage running north through the center of the property. Several shallow ditches
occur in the agricultural fields to improve surface drainage towards the natural valley. Soil investigations
show that much of the low-lying landscape exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow seasonal high water
table. There are two community types present within the project area: pasture and forest. The re-
establishment areas are primarily pasture.
The proposed re-establishment area is a concave landscape with ditching to drain surface and ground water
for crop establishment. Within this proposed re-establishment area is corn, sorghum, and soybeans. Areas
along the ditches contain sparse patches of common rush and sedges with no trees present. Other grasses
and weeds are limited.
NWI mapping depicts wetlands throughout the project area (Figure 29). The main drainage feature is
mapped as PEM1Ad (Palustrine Emergent Persistent Temporary Flooded - Ditched) During the initial
evaluation, riparian wetlands were identified along the natural drainage upslope of the site. All surrounding
agricultural fields and associated ditches discharge to these wetlands. All potential wetland areas in the
project corridors will be delineated during the mitigation plan phase of the project.
Cultural Resources
A review of the North Carolina SHPO GIS Web Service (accessed June 29, 2017) database did not reveal
any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological resources on the proposed project property. No
impacts are anticipated from project activities as there are no surveyed sites listed in the area. The
environmental screening phase of the project will include SHPO coordination to confirm these findings.
Constraints
There are no major constraints to construction of the site. The site is readily accessible from Lonesome Pine
Road. There are no existing mineral rights conflicts, easements, or utility corridors within the proposed
Bank boundaries.
Lonesome Pine Wetland Mitigation Approach
The project provides an excellent opportunity for the re-establishment of a 17.15 -acre coastal plain
headwater forest wetland ecological community. The proposed wetland restoration area is contained
entirely within a natural drainage feature that is actively maintained for agricultural use. Two main ditches
follow the valley center and drain to a larger ditch flowing offsite. Shallow ditching and land -use practices
have altered hydrology and vegetation significantly to where jurisdiction has been removed. Hydric soils
within the proposed wetlands were confirmed in preliminary site visits and will be verified by a licensed
soil scientist. Wetland restoration activities will include:
The existing ditches will be backfilled and stabilized;
A shallow waterfowl habitat will be excavated in the wetland center to add to function and
diversity of habitats in the wetland system; and
• Areas will be replanted with appropriate tree species and a permanent seedmix.
20

The resulting natural community will provide a functional, stable wetland system with a diversity of habitats
and offer multiple values and uses.
Preliminary field investigations confirmed the presence of hydric soils throughout the project site. The
proposed wetland design will include detailed soil mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist, hydrologic
modeling, and design. The hydric soil areas have been altered and drained to a degree that they are
trafficable by agricultural equipment throughout the year. The agricultural areas are dominated by row
crops and weeds, and mostly devoid of natural vegetation.
Hydrology will be restored to the wetland areas by removing the artificial drainage currently in place,
revegetation, and minor grading. No hydrologic trespass will affect areas outside the proposed conservation
easement. These hydrology restoration activities will result in an elevated seasonal high water table and
increased precipitation infiltration across the site.
The Wetland Re-establishment areas will be restored to a Headwater Forest natural community, as
described in the NC Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) dichotomous key to general NC wetland
types. The site is expected to support a mosaic of habitat types including wetter, lower -lying areas more
typically associated with Riverine Swamp Forest. A 1:1 credit ratio is proposed for the wetland re-
establishment areas. In addition, an excavated waterfowl habitat area is proposed for the interior of the
wetland re-establishment area. This habitat feature will not be credit generating and will be entirely within
the proposed conservation easement. The waterfowl habitat will consist of shallow water planted with
emergent aquatic vegetation and deeper pools. Water levels will fluctuate seasonally with groundwater
elevations.
Headwater Forest, is typically intermittently inundated by surface water or seasonally saturated to semi -
permanently saturated. These communities occur in the wettest portions of large river floodplains.
Groundwater seepage and diffuse surface flow are often important sources of water. Headwater Forests are
relatively dry when compared to other riparian wetland types. Vegetation is dominated by hardwood tree
species, including various oaks, red maple, ashes, sweetgum, and sycamore.
Riverine Swamp Forest, is characterized by seasonal to semi-permanent inundation. These communities
occur in the wettest portions of large river floodplains. Overbank flooding is usually an important source
of water, as well as groundwater and overland runoff. Vegetation is usually dominated by bald cypress
(Taxodium distichum), black gum, and water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica) in the Coastal Plain ecoregions.
Herbaceous cover is typically more open than in Bottomland Hardwood Forests.
4.6 Mudcat Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The Mudcat site presents the opportunity to provide riparian wetland mitigation in the Lumber 03040203
HUC. The site has been drained and converted to agricultural production land use and catfish
impoundments. The proposed mitigation work will re-establish a bottomland hardwood wetland
ecological community. This work will provide runoff filtration, water storage, and wildlife habitat
contiguous with a larger undisturbed forested area.
Project Location and Driving Directions
The site is located approximately 1.4 miles west of Bladenboro in Bladen County (Figures 31 and 32).
The GPS coordinates of the site are 34.535961°N and -78.812123°W. To access the site from the town of
21

Bladenboro, head south on S Main St for about a mile and turn right onto Forrest Dr. At just under a mile
the site will be accessible off of the right side of the road.
Existing Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
The USFWS NWI Map depicts wetlands within the project site (Figure 35). The western portion of the
easement is mostly included in a PFO1C wetland (Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetland).
Detailed wetland delineation has not been performed. The site will be delineated by RES and submitted to
the USACE for a preliminary jurisdictional determination.
General Physiographic and Geologic Characteristics
The site is located in the Atlantic Southern Loam Plains level IV ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains
level III ecoregion. This ecoregion is lower, flatter, more gently rolling, with finer -textured soils. These are
shallow, elliptical depressions, often swampy or wet in the middle with dry sandy rims. The region has the
highest concentration of Carolina bays. Carolina bays not drained for agriculture often contain rare or
endangered plant and animal species. This region contains valuable habitat and provides important wildlife
corridors. (USEPA)
Site Mapped Soil Series
Preliminary field investigations confirm the presence of hydric soil throughout the site. Detailed soil
mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist will be provided in the Final Mitigation Plan. Existing soil
information from the NRCS shows the property is located within the Lynchburg — Rains - Goldsboro
association (Table 12). The series in the lower concave landscape areas are mapped as a Roanoke loam and
Wahee fine sandy loam (Figure 34). Most of the project soils are Coxville loam (hydric soil) and are nearly
level poorly drained soils. Johnston mucky loam occurs as a sandy loam that is very poorly drained as well.
Mapped in the more upland areas are the Goldsboro sandy loam and the Lynchburg fine sandy loam. Both
upland soil types are prime farmland candidates.

Vegetation and Wildlife
Current land use around the site is primarily forested and agricultural. There are low-density residential
lots, maintained vegetation, and two-lane roads also present in the immediate project vicinity. The
landscape is terrace above Bryant Swamp with linear depressions between small ridges. A major ditch runs
north through the center of the property and into Bryant Swamp. Several shallow ditches occur in the
agricultural fields to improve surface drainage towards the natural valley. Several fish stock ponds are
located adjacent to Bryant Swamp and have altered hydrology in the area. Soil investigations show that
much of the low-lying landscape exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow seasonal high water table.
There are two community types present within the project area: agricultural/pasture and forest. The re-
establishment areas are primarily agricultural/pasture.
The proposed re-establishment area is a concave landscape with ditching to drain surface and ground water
for crop establishment. Within the proposed re-establishment area is corn and soybeans, while areas along
the ditch contain sparse patches of common rush (Juncus effusus) and sedges (Carex sp.) with a few pine
trees (Pinus taeda) present. Other grasses and weeds are limited.

Cultural Resources
A review of the North Carolina SHPO GIS Web Service (accessed June 29, 2017) database did not reveal
any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological resources on the proposed project property. No
impacts are anticipated from project activities as there are no surveyed sites listed in the area. The
environmental screening phase of the project will include SHPO coordination to confirm these findings.
Constraints
There are no major constraints to construction of the site. The site is readily accessible from Forest Drive
via multiple access roads on property. There are no existing mineral rights conflicts, easements, or utility
corridors within the proposed Bank boundaries. Portions of the project area lie within a FEMA 100 -year
floodplain. No grading or earthwork will take place within FEMA- regulated floodways.
Mudcat Wetland Mitigation Approach
The project provides an excellent opportunity for the re-establishment of a 20.2 -acre coastal plain headwater
and bottomland hardwood forest wetland ecological community. The main wetland restoration area is
located in the center of the easement and consists of one main drainage feature that discharges to Bryant
Swamp. The additional wetland restoration area is located in the floodplain adjacent to Bryant Swamp.
Surrounding land use consists of active pasture and agricultural fields. Extensive ditching and land -use
practices have altered hydrology and vegetation significantly to where jurisdiction has been removed.
Hydric soils within the proposed wetlands were confirmed in preliminary site visits and will be verified by
a licensed soil scientist. Wetland restoration activities will include:
• The existing ditch will be backfilled and stabilized;
• Grading restoration areas to match historical contours and promote detention and infiltration;
• Excluding livestock and subsoil ripping to alleviate compaction and promote soil structure;
and
• Areas will be replanted with appropriate tree species and a permanent seedmix.
The resulting natural community will provide a functional, stable wetland system with a diversity of habitats
and offer multiple values and uses.
Preliminary field investigations confirmed the presence of hydric soils throughout the project site. The
proposed wetland design will include detailed soil mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist, hydrologic
modeling, and design. The hydric soil areas have been altered and drained to a degree that they are
trafficable by agricultural equipment and livestock throughout the year. The agricultural areas are
dominated by pasture grasses and weeds, and mostly devoid of natural vegetation.
Hydrology will be restored to the wetland areas by removing the artificial drainage currently in place,
revegetation, and minor grading. No hydrologic trespass will affect areas outside the proposed conservation
easement. These hydrology restoration activities will result in an elevated seasonal high water table and
increased precipitation infiltration across the site.
The Wetland Re-establishment areas will be restored to a mixture of Riverine Swamp Forest and
Bottomland Hardwood Forest, as described in the NC Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM)
dichotomous key to general NC wetland types. The site is expected to support a mosaic of habitat types
24

including wetter, lower -lying areas more typically associated with Riverine Swamp forest and areas
expected to be only intermittently inundated, more typical of Bottomland Hardwood Forests. A 1:1 credit
ratio is proposed for the wetland re-establishment areas.
Riverine Swamp Forest, is characterized by seasonal to semi-permanent inundation. These communities
occur in the wettest portions of large river floodplains. Overbank flooding is usually an important source
of water, as well as groundwater and overland runoff. Vegetation is usually dominated by bald cypress,
black gum, and water tupelo in the Coastal Plain ecoregions. Herbaceous cover is typically more open than
in Bottomland Hardwood Forests.
Bottomland Hardwood Forest, is typically intermittently to seasonally saturated. Overbank flooding can be
an important source of water, as can groundwater and surface runoff. This wetland type is characterized by
ground surface relief that provides good water storage. This wetland type is dominated by hardwood tree
species, including various oaks, red maple, ashes, sycamore, sweetgum, box elder, hackberry, and American
elm.
4.7 Rattlesnake Creek Conceptual Mitigation Plan
The Rattlesnake Creek site presents the opportunity to provide both riparian and non -riparian mitigation
in the Cape Fear 03030006 HUC. The site has been drained and converted to agricultural production land
use. The proposed mitigation work will re-establish headwater wetland and wet hardwood flat ecological
communities. This work will provide runoff filtration, water storage, and wildlife habitat contiguous with
a larger undisturbed forested area.
Project Location and Driving Directions
The site is located approximately 5 miles northwest of Atkinson in Pender County (Figures 37 and 38).
The GPS coordinates of the site are 34.601997°N and -78.2012220W. To access the site from the town of
Atkinson, head east on NC -53 for approximately 6 miles, and then turn left into NC -11 and continue for
approximately 5 miles. Then take a left onto Shiloh Rd. and continue approximately 6 miles. The site will
then be about a fourth of a mile off of the road to the south.
Existing Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
The USFWS NWI Map depicts wetlands within the project site (Figure 41). The northwestern portion has
two small wetlands mapped as PFO4Ad or Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetland. While the lower portion
of the site has a wetland identified as PFO3/413d which is also deemed Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetland.
Detailed wetland delineation has not been performed. The site will be delineated by RES and submitted to
the USACE for a preliminary jurisdictional determination.
General Physiographic and Geologic Characteristics
The site is located in the Carolina Flatwoods level IV ecoregion within the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plains
level III ecoregion. Covered by shallow coastal waters during the Pleistocene, the resultant terraces and
shoreline -related landforms are covered typically by fine -loamy and coarse -loamy soils, with periodically
high water tables. Other areas have clayey, sandy, or organic soils, contributing to the region's plant
diversity. Carolina bays and pocosins are abundant in some areas. This region contains valuable habitat and
provides important wildlife corridors. (USEPA)

Site Mapped Soil Series
Preliminary field investigations confirm the presence of hydric soil throughout the site. Detailed soil
mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist will be provided in the Final Mitigation Plan. Existing soil
information from the NRCS shows the property is located mostly within the Seagate — Murville - Leon
association (Table 14). The series found inside of the project area are below. (Figure 40). Most of the
project soils are mapped as wetland soils including: Leon fine sandy loam 0-2 percent slopes, Murville
muck, Torhunta mucky fine sandy laom, and Woodington fine sandy loam. Mapped in the upland areas is
the Goldsboro fine sandy loam 0-2 percent slopes.

Vegetation and Wildlife
Current land use around the site is primarily forestry, poultry housing, and agricultural. There are low-
density residential lots, maintained vegetation, and two-lane roads also present in the immediate project
vicinity. The landscape is terrace above Big Rattlesnake Creek with linear depressions between small
ridges. A major ditch runs northwest through the center of the property and into Big Rattlesnake Creek.
Several shallow ditches occur in the agricultural fields to improve surface drainage towards the natural
valley. Several lagoons are located downslope of the poultry houses in order to collect nutrient runoff. Soil
investigations show that much of the low-lying landscape exhibits hydric characteristics and a shallow
seasonal high water table. There are two community types present within the project area: agricultural and
forest. The re-establishment areas are primarily agricultural.
The proposed re-establishment area is a concave landscape with ditching to drain surface and ground water
for crop establishment. Within the proposed re-establishment area is corn and soybeans, while areas along
the ditch contain sparse patches of common rush (Juncus effusus) and sedges (Carex sp.) with no trees
present. Other grasses and weeds are limited.
27

Cultural Resources
A review of the North Carolina SHPO GIS Web Service (accessed June 29, 2017) database did not reveal
any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological resources on the proposed project property. No
impacts are anticipated from project activities as there are no surveyed sites listed in the area. The
environmental screening phase of the project will include SHPO coordination to confirm these findings.
Constraints
There are no major constraints to construction of the site. The site is readily accessible from Shiloh Road
via multiple access roads on property. There are no existing mineral rights conflicts, easements, or utility
corridors within the proposed Bank boundaries.
Rattlesnake Creek Wetland Mitigation Approach
The project provides an excellent opportunity for the re-establishment of a 17.97 -acre coastal plain wet
hardwood flat and 23.29 -acre headwater forest wetland ecological communities. The wetland restoration
areas are divided into two separate areas based on wetland type but share similar restoration approaches.
The area to the southeast will be riparian headwater forest restoration and consists of one main ditch that
discharges to Big Rattlesnake Creek. The additional wetland restoration area is non -riparian and is located
to the northwest on a terrace above the floodplain adjacent to Big Rattlesnake Creek. Surrounding land use
consists of active forestry and agricultural fields. Extensive ditching and land -use practices have altered
hydrology and vegetation significantly to where jurisdiction has been removed. Hydric soils within the
proposed wetlands were confirmed in preliminary site visits and will be verified by a licensed soil scientist.
Wetland restoration activities will include:
• The existing ditches will be backfilled and stabilized;
• Grading restoration areas to match historical contours and promote detention and infiltration;
• Subsoil ripping to alleviate compaction and promote soil structure; and
• Areas will be replanted with appropriate tree species and a permanent seedmix.
The resulting natural community will provide a functional, stable wetland system with a diversity of habitats
and offer multiple values and uses.
Preliminary field investigations confirmed the presence of hydric soils throughout the project site. The
proposed wetland design will include detailed soil mapping by a NC licensed soil scientist, hydrologic
modeling, and design. The hydric soil areas have been altered and drained to a degree that they are
trafficable by agricultural equipment and livestock throughout the year. The agricultural areas are
dominated by pasture grasses and weeds, and mostly devoid of natural vegetation.
Hydrology will be restored to the wetland areas by removing the artificial drainage currently in place,
revegetation, and minor grading. No hydrologic trespass will affect areas outside the proposed conservation
easement. These hydrology restoration activities will result in an elevated seasonal high water table and
increased precipitation infiltration across the site.
The Wetland Re-establishment areas will be restored to a mixture of Wet Hardwood Flat and Headwater
Forest, as described in the NC Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) dichotomous key to general NC
wetland types. The site is expected to support a mosaic of habitat types including interstream divides more
28

typically associated with non -riparian wetlands and areas more typical of Headwater Forests. A 1:1 credit
ratio is proposed for the wetland re-establishment areas.
Headwater Forest, is typically intermittently inundated by surface water or seasonally saturated to semi -
permanently saturated. These communities occur in the wettest portions of large river floodplains.
Groundwater seepage and diffuse surface flow are often important sources of water. Headwater Forests are
relatively dry when compared to other riparian wetland types. Vegetation is dominated by hardwood tree
species, including various oaks, red maple, ashes, sweetgum, and sycamore.
Wet Hardwood Flat, is typically intermittently to seasonally saturated. Precipitation and sheet runoff is the
primary hydrology source. This wetland type is characterized by flat interstream topography and low
hydraulic conductivity soils that provide low runoff and high water storage. This wetland type is dominated
by hardwood tree species, including various oaks, red maple, ashes, and blackgum.
5.0 Maintenance Plan
The PRM sites will be monitored and maintained by RES. Through contractual agreement with the
Permittee, RES will commit to restore, enhance, and preserve wetland functions, and maintain wetland
habitats in accordance with the provisions in the PRMP. Maintenance includes all monitoring, reporting,
adaptive management, if needed, and all work required and necessary under this PRMP. Deviation from
the approved PRMP is subject to review and written approval by the USACE.
6.0 Monitoring and Performance Standards
Visual Monitoring
Visual monitoring of all proposed mitigation areas will be conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring
year by qualified individuals. The visual assessments will include vegetation density, vigor, invasive
species, and easement encroachments. Digital images will be taken at fixed representative locations to
record each monitoring event, as well as any noted problem areas or areas of concern. Results of visual
monitoring will be presented in a plan view exhibit with a brief description of problem areas, invasive
species occurrences, and digital images.
Vegetative Success Criteria
Vegetation monitoring plots will be a minimum of 0.02 acres in size, and cover a minimum of two percent
of the planted area. The following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting
date (or volunteer), and grid location. Monitoring will occur each year during the seven year monitoring
period. The interim measures of vegetative success for the site will be the survival of at least 320 planted
three-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 3 and 260 five-year old trees per acre at the end of Year 5.
The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 trees per acre with an average height of 10
feet at the end of Year 7 of the monitoring period. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and
controlled so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site. If necessary,
RES will develop a species-specific control plan.
29

Wetland Hydrology
Wetland hydrology will be monitored to document hydric conditions in the wetland re-establishment areas.
This will be accomplished with automatic recording pressure transducer gauges installed in representative
locations across the re-establishment areas and reference wetland. The gauges will be downloaded quarterly
and wetland hydroperiods will be calculated during the growing season. Gauge installation will follow
current USACE guidance and success criteria will include specific hydrology standards (i.e. percent of
growing season). Visual observations of primary and secondary wetland hydrology indicators will also be
recorded during quarterly site visits. Target design hydroperiods will be based on mapped soil series, soil
scientist's findings and recommendations, and 2016 Mitigation Guidance.
Adaptive Management
The Final Site Specific Mitigation Plans will include a detailed adaptive management plan that will address
how potential problems are resolved. In the event that the site, or a specific component of the site, fails to
achieve the defined success criteria, RES will develop necessary adaptive management plans and/or
implement appropriate remedial actions for the site in coordination with the IRT. Remedial actions will be
designed to achieve the success criteria specified previously, and will include identification of the causes
of failure, remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring criteria that will take into account
physical and climatic conditions. If tree mortality affects 40 percent or greater of the canopy in a wetland
re-establishment area, then a remedial/supplemental planting plan will be developed and implemented for
the affected area(s).
7.0 Financial Assurances
RES shall establish financial assurance mechanisms so that sufficient funds are available to ensure
satisfactory completion of the work described in the Mitigation Work Plan, the Long Term Management
Plan, and the Adaptive Management Plan. These funds will be made available to a Third Party in the case
of non-compliance or PRM site failure.
