EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Restoration Systems, LLC has established the Benton Branch Bank Parcel (Parcel), proposed as part of
the Restoration Systems’ Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Banking Instrument (Banking Instrument)
signed October 25th, 2017 between Restoration Systems, and the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (DWR). Per the Jordan Lake Water supply Nutrient Strategy, Consolidated Mitigation Rule,
and Nutrient Offset Payments (15A NCAC 02B .0267, 15A NCAC 02B .0268, 15A NCAC 02B .0295, &
15A NCAC 02B .0240), this Parcel is designed to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation
credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Haw River Sub-watershed of Jordan Lake
in the Cape Fear River Basin. Supporting figures are included in Appendix A.

The Parcel was evaluated on January 16th, 2015 by Sue Homewood of DWR. Ms. Homewood’s
evaluation was part of an inter-agency review, including the US Army Corps of Engineers, to determine if
stream features located within the site are applicable to provide compensatory stream mitigation under
Restoration Systems’ Cape Fear 02 Phase One Umbrella Banking Instrument, (Benton Branch USACE
Action ID SAW-2015-01701). Riparian areas adjacent to features within the parcel providing
compensatory mitigation for stream impacts, were restored and provide r iparian buffer mitigation and
nutrient off-set credit.

The Parcel was planned and designed according to the Banking Instrument with DWR, 15A NCAC 02B
.0240, and the Consolidated Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0295, which became effective on
November 1, 2015. The Parcel was designed in concurrence with the Benton Branch Stream and Wetland
Mitigation Bank (SAW# 2015-01701). The mitigation plan for the Benton Branch Stream and Wetland
Mitigation Bank along with the Stream and Wetland Umbrella Mitigation Ban king Instrument was
approved by the Interagency Review Team on July, 6th 2017. The Section 404 (Clean Water Act, 33 USC
1344) was granted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on June 30th, 2017, the corresponding Section
401 Water Quality Certification was granted on June 28th, 2017 and the land quality letter of approval was
granted June 20th, 2017.

Project construction and planting was completed between February 14 and March 14, 2018. Benton
Branch Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer Bank, the Parcel involved restoring and enhancing riparian
buffers and other riparian areas adjacent to mitigated streams onsite in order to help reduce non -point
source contaminant discharges to downstream waters in the Haw River sub-watershed of Jordan Lake.
All riparian areas were assessed by DWR during an onsite visit to determine viability for buffer
mitigation and nutrient offset. Approximately 33.12 acres will be protected with a permanent
conservation easement. Of those 33.12 acres, 10.45 acres will be restored for Jordan riparian buffer
credit, 0.08 acre will be restored for nutrient offset credit, 9.42 acres will be enhanced by the removal of
cattle from the streams and riparian areas for Jordan riparian buffer credit, and 5.02 acres will be
preserved for Jordan riparian buffer credit. In general, riparian restoration/enhancement area widths on
streams will extend out to a maximum of 100 feet from the top of bank with a minimum width of 20 from
top of banks. Riparian buffer enhancement and preservation credits generated on this Bank Parcel are
allowed pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o). Neither the enhancement credits nor the preservation
credits can be used to generate nutrient offset credits. Additionally, no riparian restoration areas that are
less than 50 feet wide from Top of Banks can be used to generate nutrient offset credit, and no riparian
restoration areas that are less than 20 feet wide from Top of Banks can be used to generate riparian buffer
credit. Therefore, the maximum acreage of riparian restoration on this site that is able to be converted
into nutrient offset credits if needed by RS, is 10.44 acres. Figure 5 shows the Credit Determination Map
and Section 4.0 provides details of the mitigation determination on the Bank Parcel.

1.0 PROJECT GOALS, BACKGROUND, AND ATTRIBUTES

1.1 Location and Setting
Restoration Systems, LLC has established the Benton Branch Bank Parcel (Parcel), proposed as part of
the Restoration Systems’ Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Banking Instrument (Banking Instrument)
signed October 25th, 2017 between Restoration Systems, and the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (DWR).

The Site encompasses 33 acres of land located on both sides of Milesville Road at the intersection of
Massey Road. Prior to construction, the Site was characterized by agricultural land utilized for beef cattle
production and municipal effluent disposal, with scattered disturbed forest. Located in the South
Atlantic/Gulf Region approximately 12 miles north of Burlington, NC in southwest Caswell County
(Figure 1, Appendix A), the Parcel is hydrologically situated within the USGS 14 -digit HUC
03030002030030 of the Cape Fear River Basin and Jordan Lake’s Haw Sub-Watershed (North Carolina
Division of Water Quality Subbasin Number 03-06-02). The main hydrologic features include Benton
Branch, six unnamed tributaries (UT) to Benton Branch, and adjacent floodplains.

Directions to the Parcel (from Burlington):
 Take Holt St./NC-62 toward N. Fishe St. – 0.1 mile
 Continue on Rauhut St./NC-62 – 3.2 miles
 Turn left on Union Ridge Rd. – 6.0 miles
 Turn left on Stoney Mountain Rd. – 2.3 miles
 Stoney Mountain Rd becomes Stoney Creek Mountain Rd. – 0.9 mile
 Stoney Creek Mountain Rd. becomes Milesville Rd. – 1.4 miles
 Turn left on Massey Rd.
Parcel Coordinates: 36.278744, -79.419371

1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
According to the Final Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities (NCEEP 2009), this watershed
should be targeted for restoration to protect the nutrient sensitive waters that ultimately drain into the
nutrient sensitive water supply of Jordan Lake. Overall, the purposes of the Benton Branch Buffer and
Nutrient Offset Bank is to restore, enhance, and preserve riparian buffers and other riparian areas adjacent
to mitigated streams onsite. The riparian restoration and enhancement work will result in improved water
quality within the Parcel and the downstream watershed. The Parcel is located in a region of the state
dominated by agriculture and livestock; restoration of the riparian buffer is expected to result in
immediate water quality benefits within the vicinity of the Parcel through the removal of livestock access
to Parcel streams.

Primary goals focus on 1) improving water quality, 2) enhancing flood attenuation and hydrology, 3)
improving aquatic resources, and 4) restoring riparian habitat. Proposed mitigation activities will provide
floodplain connectivity, floodplain resistance, stream stability, sediment transport, surface and subsurface
storage and retention, in-stream habitat, riparian habitat and structure, thermal regulation, floodplain
biogeochemical processing, and pollutant filtration as well as remove sources of pollutants.

2.0 RIPARIAN RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT PLAN
As this Parcel is also part of a stream and wetland mitigation bank, all riparian restoration activities
occurred in concurrence with stream mitigation activities.

2.1 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
In general, riparian restoration extends out a maximum of 100 feet perpendicular to the top of banks with
a minimum width of 20 feet from top of banks. Additionally, no riparian restoration areas that are less
than 50 feet wide from Top of Banks can be used to generate nutrient offset credit, and no riparian
restoration areas that are less than 20 feet wide from top of banks can be used to generate riparian buffer
credit.

Riparian Buffer Restoration occurred on the site as follows (Figures 5-6, Appendix A). Note that all areas
of restoration from TOB to 29 feet extend a minimum of 20 feet from TOB, and all areas of restoration
from TOB to 100 feet extend a minimum of 30 feet from the TOB.

Benton Branch: TOB-29 feet and TOB-100 feet
UT-1: TOB-100 feet
UT-2: TOB-100 feet
UT-2B: TOB-100 feet
UT-3: TOB-100 feet
UT-4: TOB-100 feet
UT-4A: TOB-100 feet
UT-4B: TOB-100 feet
UT-5: TOB-100 feet
UT-6: TOB-100 feet

Nutrient Offset Credit is being generated on along the upper reaches of UT-1 and UT-2 as well as a small
area between UT-4A and UT-4B, all of which are located from 100-200 feet from the TOB (Figure 5,
Appendix A).

Variations in vegetative planting occurred based on topographic locations and hydraulic conditions of the
soil. Vegetative species compositions mimic reference forest data, onsite observations, and community
descriptions from Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley
1990). Community associations utilized include 1) Piedmont Alluvial Forest, 2) Dry -Mesic Oak-Hickory
Forest, and 3) stream-side assemblage. Deep-rooted, riparian vegetation will be planted over 21.7 acres
of the Parcel. Stream-side trees include species with a high value for sediment stabilization, rapid growth
rate, and the ability to withstand hydraulic forces associated with bankfull flow and overbank flood
events. Stream-side trees and shrubs were planted along reconstructed stream banks and concentrated
along outer bends. Planted vegetation along cleared stream banks will reestablish native/historic
community patterns within the stream corridor, associated side slopes, and transition areas. Revegetating
Parcel floodplains and stream banks will provide stream bank stability, give shade, reduce surface water
temperatures, filter pollutants from adjacent runoff, and provide habitat for area wildlife.

Planting of the Parcel was completed March 14, 2018. A detailed planting list is depicted in Table 2
(Appendix B), and the planting area is graphically depicted on Figure 4 (Appendix A).

2.2 Riparian Buffer Enhancement Activities
Riparian buffer enhancement included permanently protecting existing riparian buffer from livestock via
exclusionary fencing, cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and any similar activities that would affect the

Benton Branch Bank Parcel Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report page 3
Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Bank Restoration Systems, LLC
functionality of the riparian buffer (Figure 4, Appendix A). These areas are primarily described as
disturbed mixed hardwoods. Buffer credits sought in the enhancement area, allowed pursuant to 15A
NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(6), will only be used toward buffer mitigation and cannot be transferred into
nutrient offset credits. The enhancement area will extend a maximum of 200 feet from the top of bank
with a minimum width of 20 from top of banks.

2.3 Riparian Buffer Preservation Activities
Riparian buffer preservation included permanently protecting existing riparian buffer from cutting,
clearing, filling, grading, and any similar activities that would affect the functionality of the riparian
buffer. Areas specified for Preservation, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295, are shown in Figure 5
(Appendix A) and will only generate buffer mitigation. These areas are primarily described as disturbed
mixed hardwoods, with the number of high value species above 200 per acre. They are areas where
livestock are currently fenced out, and there has been little or no historic livestock access. Buffer credits
sought in the preservation area will only be used toward buffer mitigation and cannot be transferred into
nutrient offset credits.

2.4 Marsh Treatment Area
Two marsh treatment areas were constructed to intercept surface waters draining through agricultural
areas prior to discharging into Benton Branch and UT3 (Figures 4-5, Appendix A). The marsh treatment
areas were excluded from credit calculations.

3.0 MITIGATION POTENTIAL
The Benton Branch Bank will provide Jordan buffer mitigation credits and nutrient offset mitigation
credits for development impacts within the Haw River Sub-watershed of Jordan Lake (Figures 5-6,
Appendix A). The width of the credit generation areas begins at the most landward limit of the top of
bank or the rooted herbaceous vegetation and extends landward a maximum distance of 200 feet where
Restoration Systems is able. No buffer mitigation credit generation areas are less than 20 feet in width
and no nutrient offset credit generating areas are less than 50 feet from TOB. Buffer Mitigation credits
generated from riparian restoration in non-forested pasture areas on this Bank Parcel with a minimum
width of 50 feet from TOB, can be converted and transferred from Riparian Buffer Credits to Nutrient
Offset Credits and from Nutrient Offset Credit to Riparian Buffer Credits upon written approval from
DWR. A maximum of 10.44 acres of riparian restoration on this site is able to be converted and
transferred from Riparian Buffer Credits to Nutrient Offset Credits and from Nutrient Offset Credit back
to Riparian Buffer Credits upon approval. The Sponsor must submit a written request and receive written
approval from DWR prior to any credit conversions and transfers to the buffer and nutrient credit ledgers.
All delivery factors shall be applied to nutrient offset credits prior to requesting a conversion.

According to the nutrient reduction goals for the Haw River arm of Jordan Lake, the generated nitrogen
credits per acre in the Haw Sub-watershed for riparian restoration on agriculture land is 2249.36 pounds
and the generated phosphorus credit per acre is 143.81 pounds. The delivery factors applied to this parcel
are 25 percent for nitrogen and 8 percent for phosphorus (Appendix G). Delivered credits are calculated
by applying the delivery factors and the acreage of riparian restoration to the generated credits per acre
stated above. Proposed areas for Jordan riparian buffer and nutrient offset (Nitrogen and Phosphorus)
credits for the Benton Bank Parcel are summarized in Table 1 and Figures 5-6 (Appendix A).

**Buffer mitigation credits are sought from top of bank to 100 feet. Beyond buffer credit generating areas, RS is proposing
nutrient offset credits out to a maximum of 200 feet for a contiguous riparian restoration from top of bank to 200 feet where
possible.

The Sponsor will maintain 4 credit ledgers for the Parcel under the Banking Instrument and BPDP: (1) for
buffer restoration mitigation credits in both square feet and acres, (1) for buffer enhancement mitigation
credits in square feet and acres, (1) accounting for nitrogen offset credits in pounds and acres, and (1)
accounting for phosphorus offset credits in pounds and acres.

The Sponsor may elect to use riparian areas for either buffer mitigation credit or wetland mitigation
credit, but not both. The Sponsor must submit a written request and receive written approval from DWR
prior to any credit conversions and transfers to the buffer credit ledger. As part of that request, the
Sponsor must provide DWR with a written acceptance letter from the USACE, accompanied by
supporting documents, for any wetlands that they want removed from the wetland mitigation bank. Only
riparian areas that fail to qualify to generate wetland credit may be viable for generating riparian buffer

Benton Branch Bank Parcel Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report page 5

credit. Figure 5 (Appendix A) depicts riparian areas that could potentially generate riparian buffer credit
if they don't qualify to generate wetland mitigation credits, and Figure 7 (Appendix A) depicts the
potential conversion of failed wetland mitigation credits to riparian buffer credits. Any areas proposed for
buffer mitigation credit must meet the performance standards detailed in 15A NCAC 02B .0295.

4.0 MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
4.1 Monitoring Protocol
Restoration monitoring procedures for riparian vegetation will include periodic visual inspection and
annual plant survival and species diversity survey reports. Quantitative sampling of vegetation will be
performed as outlined in the CVS Level 1-2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al.
2008). Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in the annual
reports. All planted stems in the plots will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. Detailed
qualitative and quantitative monitoring is proposed for vegetated riparian areas; marsh treatment areas
will be visually inspected periodically and reported qualitatively within the annual monitor report, which
will include photographic record of the Parcel’s assets.

Monitoring of the restoration efforts will be performed for five years or until success criteria are fulfilled.
Restoration Systems shall submit an annual monitoring report to DWR, no later than December 31st of
each year. Quantitative monitoring includes measurements of 20-10x10 meter, permanent vegetation
plots (2.0% of riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credit areas). Plots were randomly placed
throughout the planted riparian areas and are representative of credit generating areas. Sampling of
vegetation will be performed in October of each year, with the 1st monitoring data to be collected in the
fall of 2018 but not within 6 months from initial planting. Baseline data can be found in Appendix B.

During the first year, vegetation will receive a cursory, visual evaluation on a periodic basis to ascertain
the degree of overtopping of planted elements by nuisance species. Success cri teria within the riparian
buffer and nutrient offset restoration areas will be based on the survival of planted species at a density of
260 stems per acre after five years of monitoring. A minimum of four native, hardwood tree and shrub
species must be present, with no one species representing greater than 50% of the stems. In addition,
appropriate volunteer stems of native hardwood tree and shrub species may be included to meet the final
performance standard of 260 stems per acre upon DWR approval.

A visual assessment of the cattle exclusion and preservation areas within the conservation easement will
also be performed each year to confirm:
• Fencing is in good condition throughout the site;
• no cattle access within the conservation easement area;
• no encroachment has occurred;
• diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservations easement area; and
• there has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would
negatively affect the functioning of the buffer.

4.2 Parcel Maintenance
A remedial action plan will be developed and implemented with the approval of DWR in the event that
the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve success criteria as outlined above. Other
vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. In the event
that exotic invasive plant species require treatment, such species will be controlled by mechanical
(physical removal with the use of a chainsaw) and/or chemical methods (aquatic approved herbicide) in
accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.

Benton Branch Bank Parcel Baseline Document and Asbuilt Report page 6
Phase One Haw River WS Umbrella Bank Restoration Systems, LLC
If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor for vegetation survival of planted stems during the
monitoring period, the Sponsor must receive approval by the DWR prior to any mowing activities within
Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the Jordan buffers to ensure that no buffer violations have been performed. Failure
to receive approval prior to mowing activities within the Jordan buffer as defined in 15A NCAC 02B
.0267 by the DWR, could result in Jordan buffer violations and violations of the conservation easement.
If necessary, the Sponsor will develop a species-specific control plan

4.3 Long Term Management Plan
A Permanent Conservation Easement will preserve all areas and prohibit all use of the property
inconsistent with its use as mitigation property including any activity that would materially alter the
biological integrity of the Parcel. The North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation (NCWHF) has agreed
to be holder of the easement. The Sponsor will provide an endowment to the NCWHF to hold and
enforce the Conservation Easement and its interests in perpetuity. The Conservation Easement was
recorded on December 12, 2015 at the Caswell County courthouse in Deed Book 589, Page 438-451.

4.4 Easement Boundaries and Fencing
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by cattle fence, marker, bollard, post, tree-blazing, or
other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed,
damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis.

5.0 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE
Per the Banking Instrument, Restoration Systems intends to forgo the release of Task 1 credits and
acquisition of a Performance Bond. Upon submittal of the As-built Report, Restoration Systems will
provide a Performance/Maintenance Bond, with DWR as the Obligee, and per the requirements of the
Banking Instrument. The Performance Bond will be a minimum of 100k and will be renewed annually.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed to cover the next years monitoring period, with
confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each annual monitoring report when applicable. DWR
reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of
bond renewals when applicable.

15A NCAC 02B .0295 (Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule – Effective Date October 24, 2014)

15A NCAC 02B .0295 MITIGATION PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTION AND
MAINTENANCE OF RIPARIAN BUFFERS
(a) PURPOSE. The purpose of this Rule is to set forth the mitigation requirements that apply to applicants listed in
Subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this Paragraph and to set forth requirements for buffer mitigation providers. Buffer
mitigation is required when one of the following applies:
(1) The applicant has received an authorization certificate for impacts that cannot be avoided or
practicably minimized pursuant to Rules .0233, .0243, .0250, .0259, .0267 or .0607 of this Subchapter;
or
(2) The applicant has received a variance pursuant to Rules .0233, .0243, .0250, .0259, .0267 or .0607 of
this Subchapter and is required to perform mitigation as a condition of a variance approval.
(b) DEFINITIONS. For the purpose of this Rule, these terms shall be defined as follows:
(1) "Authority" means either the Division or a local government that has been delegated or designated
pursuant to Rules .0233, .0243, .0250, .0259, .0267 or .0607 of this Subchapter to implement the
riparian buffer program.
(2) "Division" means the Division of Water Resources of the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources.
(3) "Enhancement Site" means a riparian zone site characterized by conditions between that of a
restoration site and a preservation site such that the establishment of woody stems (i.e., tree or shrub
species) will maximize nutrient removal and other buffer functions.
(4) "Hydrologic Area" means the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD), located at
http://data.nconemap.com/geoportal/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid={16A42F31-6DC7-
4EC3-88A9-03E6B7D55653} using the eight-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) prepared by the
United States Geological Survey.
(5) "Locational Ratio" means the mitigation ratio applied to the mitigation requirements based on the
location of the mitigation site relative to the impact site as set forth in Para graph (f).
(6) "Monitoring period" means the length of time specified in the approved mitigation plan during which
monitoring of vegetation success and other anticipated benefits to the adjacent water as listed in the
authorization certification is done.
(7) "Non-wasting endowment" means a fund that generates enough interest to cover the cost of the long
term monitoring and maintenance.
(8) "Outer Coastal Plain" means the portion of the state shown as the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain (63)
on Griffith, et al. (2002) "Ecoregions of North and South Carolina." Reston, VA, United States
Geological Survey available at no cost at http://www.epa.gov/wed/pages/ecoregions/ncsc_eco.htm.
(9) "Preservation Site" means riparian zone sites that are characterized by a natural forest consisting of the
forest strata and diversity of species appropriate for the Omernik Level III ecoregion.
(10) "Restoration Site" means riparian zone sites that are characterized by an absence of trees and by a lack
of dense growth of smaller woody stems (i.e., shrubs or saplings) or sites that are characterized by
scattered individual trees such that the tree canopy is less than 25 percent of the cover and by a lack of
dense growth of smaller woody stems (i.e., shrubs or saplings).
(11) "Riparian buffer mitigation unit" means a unit representing a credit of riparian buffer mitigation that
offsets one square foot of riparian buffer impact.
(12) "Riparian wetland" means a wetland that is found in one or more of the following landscape positions:
(A) in a geomorphic floodplain;
(B) in a natural topographic crenulation;
(C) contiguous with an open water equal to or greater than 20 acres in size; or
(D) subject to tidal flow regimes excluding salt/brackish marsh wetlands.
(13) "Urban" means an area that is designated as an urbanized area under the most recent federal decennial
census available at no cost at http://www.census.gov/ or within the corporate limits of a municipality.
(14) "Zonal Ratio" means the mitigation ratio applied to impact amounts in the respective zones of the
riparian buffer as set forth in Paragraph (e) of this Rule.
(c) APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS, MITIGATION SITE REQUIREMENTS AND MITIGATION OPTIONS. Any
applicant who seeks approval to impact riparian buffers covered under this Rule who is required by Paragraph (a) shall
submit to the Division a written mitigation proposal that calculates the required area of mitigation and describes the area
and location of each type of proposed mitigation. The applicant shall not impact buffers until the Division approves the
mitigation plan and issues written authorization. For all options except payment of a fee under Paragraphs (j) or (k) of
this Rule, the proposal shall include a commitment to provide:
(1) a perpetual conservation easement or similar legal protection mechanism to ensure perpetual
stewardship that protects the mitigation site's nutrient removal and other water quality functions;
(2) a commitment to provide a non-wasting endowment or other financial mechanism for perpetual
stewardship and protection; and
(3) a commitment to provide a completion bond that is payable to the Division sufficient to ensure that
land or easement purchase, construction, monitoring, and maintenance are completed.
For each mitigation site, the Division shall identify functional criteria to measure the anticipated benefits of the mitigation
to the adjacent water. The Division shall issue a mitigation determination that specifies the area, type, and location of
mitigation and the water quality benefits to be provided by the mitigation site. The mitigation determination issued
according to this Rule shall be included as an attachment to the authorization certification. The applicant may propose
any of the following types of mitigation and shall provide a written demonstration of practicality that takes into account
the relative cost and availability of potential options, as well as information addressing all requirements associated with
the option proposed:
(1) Applicant-provided riparian buffer restoration or enhancement pursuant to Paragraph (i) of this Rule;
(2) Payment of a compensatory mitigation fee to a mitigation bank if buffer credits are available pursuant
to Paragraph (j) of this Rule or payment of a compensatory mitigation fee to the Riparian Buffer
Restoration Fund pursuant to Paragraph (k) of this Rule. Payment shall conform to the requirements
of G.S. 143-214.20;
(3) Donation of real property or of an interest in real property pursuant to Paragraph (l) of th is Rule; or
(4) Alternative buffer mitigation options pursuant to Paragraph (m) of this Rule.
(d) AREA OF IMPACT. The authority shall determine the area of impact in square feet to each zone of the proposed
riparian buffer impact by adding the following:
(1) The area of the footprint of the use impacting the riparian buffer;
(2) The area of the boundary of any clearing and grading activities within the riparian buffer necessary to
accommodate the use; and
(3) The area of any ongoing maintenance corridors within the riparian buffer associated with the use.
The authority shall deduct from this total the area of any wetlands that are subject to and compliant with riparian wetland
mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 02H .0506 and are located within the proposed riparian buffer impact area.
(e) AREA OF MITIGATION REQUIRED ON ZONAL MITIGATION RATIOS. The authority shall determine the
required area of mitigation for each zone by applying each of the following ratios to the area of impact calculated under
Paragraph (d) of this Rule:

Basin/Watershed Zone 1 Ratio Zone 2 Ratio
Neuse River Basin (15A NCAC 02B .0233) 3:1 1.5:1

mechanism to provide for protection of the property's nutrient removal and other water quality
functions.
(7) The applicant or mitigation provider shall submit written annual reports for a period of five years after
the restoration or enhancement has been conducted showing that the trees or tree and shrub species
planted are meeting success criteria and that diffuse flow through the riparian buffer has been
maintained. The applicant or mitigation provider shall replace trees or shrubs and restore diffuse flow
if needed during that five-year period. Additional years of monitoring may be required if the
objectives under Paragraph (i) have not been achieved at the end of the five-year monitoring period.
(8) The mitigation provider shall provide a site specific credit/debit ledger to the Division at regular
intervals once credits are established and until they are exhausted.
(9) The mitigation provider shall provide a completion bond that is payable to the Division sufficient to
ensure that land purchase, construction, monitoring, and maintenance are completed. A non-wasting
endowment or other financial mechanism for perpetual maintenance and protection shall be provided.
(j) PURCHASE OF BUFFER MITIGATION CREDITS FROM A PRIVATE OR PUBLIC MITIGATION BANK.

through any of the alternative mitigation options described in this Paragraph. Any proposal for al ternative mitigation
shall meet the requirements of Paragraphs (c), (e), (f), and (g) of this Rule, the requirements set out in the named
Subparagraph addressing that option, and the following requirements:
(1) Any proposal for alternative mitigation shall be provided in writing to the Division and shall meet the
following content and procedural requirements for approval by the Division:
(A) Projects that have been constructed and are within the required monitoring period on the
effective date of this Rule are eligible for use as alternative buffer mitigation. Projects that
have completed monitoring and released by the Division on or before the effective date of
this Rule are eligible for use as alternative buffer mitigation for a period of 10 years from the
effective date of this Rule;
(B) The mitigation area shall be placed under a perpetual conservation easement or similar legal
protection mechanism to provide for protection of the property's nutrient removal and other
water quality functions; and
(C) A completion bond payable to the Division sufficient to ensure that land purchase,
construction, monitoring, and maintenance are completed.
(D) A non-wasting endowment or other financial mechanism for perpetual maintenance and
protection shall be provided.
(2) ALTERNATIVE BUFFER MITIGATION – NON-STRUCTURAL, VEGETATIVE OPTIONS
(A) Coastal Headwater Stream Mitigation. Wooded buffers planted along Outer Coastal Plain
headwater stream mitigation sites may be approved as riparian buffer mitigation as long as
the site meets all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule. In addition, all
success criteria including woody species, stem density, diffuse flow, and stream success
criteria specified by the Division in any required written approval of the site shall be met.
The area of the buffer shall be measured perpendicular to the length of the valley being
restored. The area within the proposed buffer mitigation shall not also be used as wetland
mitigation. The mitigation provider shall monitor the site for at least five years from the date
of planting by providing annual reports for written Division approval.
(B) Buffer Restoration and Enhancement on Non-Subject Streams. Restoration or enhancement
of buffers may be conducted on intermittent or perennial streams that are not subject to
riparian buffer rules. These streams shall be confirmed as intermittent or perennial streams
by Division staff using the Division publication, Methodology for Identification of
Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins (v.4.11, 2010) available at no cost at
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401/waterresources/streamdeterminations. The
proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule.
(C) Preservation of Buffer on Non-subject streams. Preservation of buffers on intermittent or
perennial streams that are not subject to riparian buffer rules may be proposed in order to
permanently protect the buffer from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities
that would affect the functioning of the buffer. These streams shall be confirmed as
intermittent or perennial streams by Division staff using the Division publication,
Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins
(v.4.11, 2010). The preservation site shall meet the requirements of Subparagraphs (i)(1),
(i)(3), (i)(6) and Parts (l)(3)(D), (E), (F), (H) and (J) of this Rule. Preservation shall be
proposed only when restoration or enhancement with an area at least equal to the footprint of
the buffer impact has been proposed.
(D) Preservation of Buffers on Subject Streams. Buffer preservation may be proposed in order to
permanently protect the buffer from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities
that would affect the functioning of the buffer beyond the protection afforded by the existing
buffer rules on sites that meet the definition of a preservation site along streams, estuaries, or
ponds that are subject to buffer rules. The preservation site shall meet the requirements of
Subparagraphs (i)(1), (i)(3), (i)(6) and Parts (l)(3)(D), (E), (F), (H) and (J) of this Rule.
Preservation shall be proposed only when restoration or enhancement of an area at least
equal to the footprint of the buffer impact has been proposed.
(E) Sewer easement within the buffer. If the proposed mitigation site contains a sewer easement
in Zone 1, that portion of the sewer easement within Zone 1 is not suitable for buffer
mitigation. If the proposed mitigation site contains a sewer easement in Zone 2, the portion
of the sewer easement in Zone 2 may be suitable for buffer mitigation if:
(i) the applicant or mitigation provider restores or enhances the forested buffer in Zone
1 adjacent to the sewer easement;
(ii) the sewer easement is at least 30 feet wide;
(iii) the sewer easement is required to be maintained in a condition that meets the
vegetative requirements of the collection system permit; and
(iv) diffuse flow is provided across the entire buffer width.
The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule for
restoration or enhancement. The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Part
(m)(2)(C) of this Rule for preservation.
(F) Enhancement of grazing areas adjacent to streams. Buffer credit at a 2:1 ratio shall be
available for an applicant or mitigation provider who proposes permanent exclusion of
grazing livestock that otherwise degrade the stream and riparian zone through trampling,
grazing, or waste deposition by fencing the livestock out of the stream and its adjacent buffer.
The applicant or mitigation provider shall provide an enhancement plan as set forth in
Paragraph (i). The applicant or mitigation provider shall demonstrate that grazing was the
predominant land use since the effective date of the applicable buffer rule.
(G) Mitigation on ephemeral channels. For purposes of riparian buffer mitigation as described in
this Part, an "ephemeral channel" is defined as a natural channel exhibiting discernible banks
within a topographic crenulation (V-shaped contour lines) indicative of natural drainage on
the 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic map prepared by the U.S. Geologic
Survey, or as seen on digital elevation models with contours developed from the most recent
available LiDAR data. Ephemeral channels only flow for a short period of time after
precipitation in the immediate area and do not have periods of base flow sustained by
groundwater discharge. The applicant or mitigation provider shall provide a delineation of
the watershed draining to the ephemeral channel. The entire area proposed for mitigation
shall be within the contributing drainage area to the ephemeral channel. The ephemeral
channel shall be directly connected to an intermittent or perennial stream and contiguous with
the rest of the mitigation site protected under a perpetual conservation easement. The area of
the mitigation site on ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent of the total
area of mitigation. The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of
this Rule for restoration or enhancement. The proposal shall meet all applicable
requirements of Part (m)(2)(C) of this Rule for preservation.
(H) Restoration and Enhancement on Ditches. For purposes of riparian buffer mitigation as
described in this Part, a "ditch" is defined as a man-made channel other than a modified
natural stream that was constructed for drainage purposes. To be used for mitigation, a ditch
shall meet all of the following criteria:
(i) be directly connected with and draining towards an intermittent or perennial stream;
(ii) be contiguous with the rest of the mitigation site protected under a perpetual
conservation easement;
(iii) stormwater runoff from overland flow shall drain towards the ditch;
(iv) be between one and three feet in depth; and
(v) the entire length of the ditch shall have been in place prior to the effective date of
the applicable buffer rule.
The width of the restored or enhanced area shall not be less than 30 feet and shall not exceed
50 feet for crediting purposes. The applicant or mitigation provider shall provide a
delineation of the watershed draining to the ditch. The watershed draining to the ditch shall
be at least four times larger than the restored or enhanced area along the ditch. The perpetual
conservation easement shall include the ditch and the confluence of the ditch with the
intermittent or perennial stream, and provide language that prohibits future maintenance of
the ditch. The proposal shall meet all applicable requirements of Paragraph (i) of this Rule
for restoration or enhancement.
(3) ALTERNATIVE BUFFER STORMWATER TREATMENT OPTIONS.
(A) For all structural options: Riparian buffer restoration or enhancement is required with an
area at least equal to the footprint of the buffer impact, and the remaining mitigation resulting
from the multipliers may be met through structural options;
(B) Structural measures already required by other local, state or federal rule or permit cannot be
used as alternative buffer mitigation, except to the extent such measure(s) exceed the
requirements of such rule or permit. Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs),
including bioretention facilities, constructed wetlands, infiltration devices and sand filter are
all potentially approvable (BMPs) for alternative buffer mitigation. Other BMPs may be
approved only if they meet the nutrient removal levels outlined in Part (3)(C) of this
Subparagraph. Existing or planned BMPs for a local, state, or federal rule or permit may be
retrofitted or expanded to improve their nutrient removal if this level of treatment would not
be required by other local, state, or federal rules. In this case, the predicted increase in
nutrient removal may be counted toward alternative buffer mitigation;
(C) Minimum treatment levels: Any structural BMP shall provide at least 30 percent total
nitrogen and 35 percent total phosphorus removal as demonstrated by a scientific and
engineering literature review as approved by the Division. The mitigation proposal shall
demonstrate that the proposed alternative removes an equal or greater annual mass load of
nutrients to surface waters as the buffer impact authorized in the authorization certificate or
variance, following the calculation of impact and mitigation areas pursuant to Paragraphs (d),
(e), and (f) of this Rule. To estimate the rate of nutrient removal of the impacted buffer, the
applicant or mitigation provider shall use a method previously approved by the Division. The
applicant or mitigation provider may propose an alternative method of estimating the rate of
nutrient removal for consideration and review by the Division;
(D) All proposed structural BMPs shall follow the Division's 2009 Stormwater Best Management
Practice Design Manual available at no cost at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/bmp-manual. If
a specific proposed structural BMP is not addressed in this Manual, the applicant or
mitigation provider shall follow Chapter 20 in this Manual for approval;
(E) All structural options are required to have Division approved operation and maintenance
plans;
(F) All structural options are required to have continuous and perpetual maintenance and shall
follow the Division's 2009 Stormwater Best Management Practice Design Manual;
(G) Upon completion of construction, the designer for the type of BMP installed shall certify that
the system was inspected during construction and that the BMP was constructed in
substantial conformity with plans and specifications approved by the Division;
(H) Removal and replacement of structural options: If a structural option is proposed to be
removed and cannot be replaced on-site, then a structural or non-structural measure of equal
or better nutrient removal capacity in a location as specified by Paragraph (f) and (g) of this
Rule shall be constructed as a replacement;
(I) Renovation or repair of structural options: If a structural option must be renovated or
repaired, it shall be renovated to provide equal or be tter nutrient removal capacity than as
originally designed;
(J) Structural options as well as their operation and maintenance are the responsibility of the
landowner or easement holder unless the Division gives written approval for another
responsible party to operate and maintain them. Structural options shall be located in
recorded drainage easements for the purposes of operation and maintenance and shall have
recorded access easements to the nearest public right-of-way. These easements shall be
granted in favor of the party responsible for operating and maintaining the structure, with a
note that operation and maintenance is the responsibility of the landowner, easement holder
or other responsible party; and
(K) Bonding and endowment. A completion bond payable to the Division sufficient to ensure
that land purchase, construction, monitoring, and maintenance are completed and a non-
wasting endowment or other financial mechanism for perpetual maintenance and protection
shall be provided.
(4) OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUFFER MITIGATION OPTIONS. Other riparian buffer mitigation
options may be considered by the Division on a case-by-case basis after 30-day public notice through
the Division's Water Quality Certification Mailing List in accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0503 as
long as the options otherwise meet the requirements of this Rule. Division staff shall present
recommendations to the Environmental Management Commission for a final decision with respect to
any proposal for alternative buffer mitigation options not specified in this Rule.
(n) ACCOUNTING FOR BUFFER CREDIT, NUTRIENT OFFSET CREDIT AND STREAM MITIGATION
CREDIT. Buffer mitigation credit, nutrient offset credit, wetland mitigation credit, and stream mitigation credit shall be
accounted for in accordance with the following:
(1) Buffer mitigation used for buffer mitigation credit shall not be used for nutrient offset credits;
(2) Buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credit shall not be generated within wetlands that provide wetland
mitigation credit required by 15A NCAC 02H .0506; and
(3) Either buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credit may be generated on stream mitigation sites as long as
the width of the restored or enhanced riparian buffer meets the requirements of Subparagraph (i)(1).
