LLC ("Sponsor") proposes to develop the Folly Swamp Mitigation Site (Site) as the first project under the Wildlands Pasquotank 05 Umbrella Mitigation Bank ("bank"). Wildlands Holdings VI, LLC is wholly owned by Wildlands Engineering, Inc. The Folly Swamp Mitigation Site (Site) is in northern Gates County approximately 30 miles northwest of Elizabeth City, NC and four miles north of Sunbury, NC (Figure 1). The project is located within the Pasquotank River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03010205010010 and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Subbasin 03-01-50. The site was selected to provide stream mitigation credits in the Pasquotank Basin 03010205 (Pasquotank 05) (Figure 2). The project involves the restoration of approximately 12,000 linear feet (LF) of incised and straightened streams. Restoration of these reaches will provide 12,809 stream mitigation credits (SMUs). The Site will be protected by a 50-acre conservation easement. The Site Protection Instrument outlining the proposed easement is provided in Appendix 1. Table 1: Project Attribute Table Part 1 Project Information Project Name Folly Swamp Mitigation Site County Gates Project Area (acres) 50 Project Coordinates (latitude and longitude) 36° 29' 24" N, 76° 35' 24" W Planted Acreage (acres of woody stems planted) 41 2.0 Basin Characterization and Site Selection The Site is in the Pasquotank 05 Basin, the DWR Subbasin 03-01-50, and the 03010205010010 14-digit Hydrologic Unit (HU). There are no current local or state watershed plans associated specifically with this subbasin. The Pasquotank 05 is dominated by forested land (59%) and agricultural land (40%), and 51% of the stream buffers are non -forested. The major developed areas include Elizabeth City, Hertford, and Edenton, and the main roadways consist of US-17, US-64, and US-158 (Figure 1). The Folly Swamp Mitigation Site was selected because it would allow unavoidable impacts to Waters of the United States within the service area to be mitigated appropriately and provide a means for the economic growth of this region to continue while ensuring aquatic resources and water quality are maintained. Very few water quality studies have been reported in the basin and subbasin. NCDMS published a River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) plan for the Pasquotank 05 in 2009. Among the goals listed in the 2009 RBRP that this mitigation project will address are: • Develop additional Strategic Habitat Areas (SHAs) and coordinate data and methodology improvements with other state and federal agencies • Implement agricultural BMPs to reduce nonpoint source inputs to the estuary • Protect, augment, and connect Natural Heritage Areas and other conservation lands Also mentioned in the RBRP is that the watershed will benefit from stream restoration projects that reestablish more natural pattern, hydrology, and habitat, especially in heavily ditched watersheds. Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 1 The Site fits the need for meeting the watershed goals by augmenting and connecting Natural Heritage Areas and reducing nonpoint source loading to the Albemarle Sound estuaries. Folly Swamp drains to the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and later the Pasquotank River and Albemarle Sound. The project will essentially extend the protected area by 50 acres to the west of the Great Dismal Swamp. Various areas of the Albemarle Sound on the 2018 303(d) list for pH, copper, and dioxin impairment. Also, various segments of the Pasquotank River appear on the 2018 303(d) list for copper, dissolved oxygen, and pH. The Site is a large source of nutrients and bacteria because it hosts a pasture -raised livestock operation and is fertilized to promote growth of row crops. Visual inspections indicate that the primary stressors in the Folly Swamp watershed come from row crop agriculture, lack of riparian buffers, and stream channelization. Restoration of streams and wetlands on the Site will directly and indirectly address stressors identified in the RBRP by building stable stream banks and restoring a forested riparian buffer. The project will slow surface runoff, increase retention times, provide shade to streams, and reconnect the streams to a floodplain and riparian wetlands. This will reduce sediment and nutrient loads. Sediment and nutrient loading contribute to the downstream production of chlorophyll a, which can lower dissolved oxygen levels. In addition, restoration will provide and improve instream and terrestrial (riparian) habitats while improving stream stability and overall hydrology. 3.0 Baseline and Existing Conditions 3.1 Watershed Conditions The Site watershed (Table 2 and Figure 5) is situated in the rural countryside in Gates County between Sunbury and Corapeake, NC, within the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain. Site topography, as indicated on the Sunbury, NC USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangles, includes mostly gently sloped areas with some moderate topography along the upstream reaches. Generally, valleys onsite are unconfined and alluvial, and valley slopes tend to flatten as elevation decreases. Channels closer to the Folly Swamp floodplain have lower slopes than the headwater reaches. To its confluence with Hamburg Ditch, Folly Swamp is a Class C, Swamp Waters stream suitable for aquatic life and secondary recreation. The Hamburg Ditch, also known as Cross Canal, is within the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Swamp Waters is a supplemental classification intended to recognize those waters which have low velocities and other natural characteristics which are different from non - swamp streams (i.e., naturally low dissolved oxygen and pH). The watershed to the Site streams includes agriculture, forest, and some development, including dozens of single-family homes, and relatively few commercial uses along NC 32. Most of the Site has row crops within the riparian areas, while Greene Branch runs through pasture. There are no development pressures indicting that the Site land use will change in the future. However, because Gates County serves as a bedroom community for Suffolk, VA, it is conceivable that the Site could include a low -density development in the distant future. Based on a review of historical aerials, included in Appendix 4, the Site streams have had the same approximate land use and configurations since at least 1950 with the following exceptions: Folly Swamp was channelized between 1950 and 1959. Since that time, the drainage district travel way (berm) has been on the left bank and the right floodplain has largely been cleared for agricultural use. • In the 1970's and 1980's, the following changes were made to the Site: o Folly Swamp's left floodplain was converted to row crop fields. Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 2 o A small area of forest was cleared at the downstream end of Barker Branch 0 105 acres of Greene Branch's watershed was converted from forest to agriculture. o A field in the middle of Greene Branch was converted to agriculture, and Greene Branch and its floodplain were ditched.

It occupies the middle portion of the coastal plain. Soils formed in mostly Pleistocene -age clays and sands. Since the subsurface drainage is slow, except near streams, artificial drainage is common. The project is in the undivided Tertiary Yorktown Formation geologic region. The Yorktown Formation is fossiliferous clay with varying amounts of fine-grained sand, bluish gray, shell material commonly concentrated in lenses. The channel bed material reflects the local geology and consists of fine-grained sand and silt. The predominant Site floodplain soils on site are described in Table 3 below and depicted in Figure 7.

Folly Swamp was deemed perennial and four unnamed tributaries on the Site were deemed intermittent. These tributaries have been named Powell Branch, Morgan Branch, Greene Branch, and Barker Branch by Wildlands. Jurisdictional stream features are shown on Figures 3, 3A and 3B and supporting documentation is provided in Appendix 2. The streams on the project site are small, first or second order streams with the exception of Folly Swamp. Two Folly Swamp reaches comprise the upper end of the project area. Below this, Folly Swamp is a large, channelized ditch maintained by the Gates County Drainage District #1 for drainage purposes and is not suitable for stream mitigation. It should be noted that we are calling the mainstem Folly Swamp where it will be restored, and Folly Ditch, as it is locally known, where not included in the mitigation project. The Drainage District is in favor of restoring Folly Swamp at the upper end. Additional project streams enter the Folly Ditch as it flows towards the Great Dismal Swamp, approximately 2.5 miles downstream from the mainstem stream mitigation area. Moving downstream from the Folly Swamp restoration reaches, approximately 1,500 feet from the downstream terminus, Powell Branch is the first mitigation tributary to join the Folly Ditch. It flows from a drainage area comprised of agricultural fields and forest into the southern bank of Folly Swamp. The stream has widened in several locations and rills have formed as a result of agricultural runoff, resulting in headcutting within Powell Branch. Morgan Branch is the next tributary downstream, flowing parallel to the eastern side of NC 32 and entering the Folly Ditch from the north. Its headwaters are comprised of silviculture and low density residential areas. The project reaches of Morgan Branch are within active agricultural fields with a silviculture area along the downstream right bank. The last reaches to join the Folly Ditch are Greene Branch and Barker Branch, approximately 2,100 and 2,500 feet downstream from Morgan Branch, respectively. Both Greene Branch and Barker Branch enter the Folly Ditch from the south. Approximately 30 head of cattle graze along Greene Branch and have access to the upper reach. A single strand of electrified wire keeps them out of the lower reach. Greene Branch's headwaters have been diverted and the upper reach is an ephemeral low area in a forested setting. Barker Branch is also a maintained ditch that flows through agricultural fields. Its lower left bank is adjacent to the same cattle pasture shared by Greene Branch. The two branches are on opposite sides of a wetland feature adjacent to the Folly Ditch. Geomorphic surveys were conducted on Site streams to characterize their existing condition. Existing streams and cross section locations are illustrated in Figure 2. NCDWR stream assessment forms are in Appendix 3 and reach specific cross sections and geomorphic summaries are provided in Appendix 4. Folly Swamp Folly Swamp is a maintained ditch with instream substrate dominated by silt and sand. A pilot channel is frequently present within the larger ditch. Early successional trees populate the streambanks. A sidecast berm is present along much of the left bank and serves as a travel way for ditch maintenance. On the Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 4 downstream end, the berm directs high floods over the right bank toward the residential homes on Savage Road. A perched culvert on this stream may function as an aquatic migration barrier. Stream function was assessed on Folly Swamp using the North Carolina Stream Assessment Method (NCSAM) and found to be Low due to deficiencies in flood flow, water quality, in -stream habitat, and poor vegetative bank cover. Two cross sections were measured in the upper and lower reach. The reaches are separated by another maintained ditch from the north. This ditch is referred to in the project as Jordan Branch. As presented in the Section 3.3.2 below, Jordan Branch, within its banks, has been determined to be a jurisdictional wetland.

A sidecast berm is also present along most of the upper portion of the reach and the stream has been channelized downstream of the wood line. In the channelized section, a 4-foot high berm parallels the left bank and a maintenance travel way parallels right bank. Powell Branch has sections of vertical, eroding banks and active rilling where agricultural field runoff concentrates down the stream banks. The stream is deeply incised with a bank height ratio of 4.4. Stream function was assessed on Powell Branch using NC SAM and found to be Low due to deficiencies in epifaunal substrate, embeddedness, low bank stability and stream -side habitat, and poor vegetative bank cover. 0 Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 5 Table 5: Project Attribute Table Powell Branch Reach Summary Information Parameters Powell Branch Length of Reach (Linear Feet) 1,493 Valley confinement (Confined, moderately confined, unconfined) Slightly Confined Drainage area (acres) 320 Perennial, Intermittent, Ephemeral Intermittent Stream Function Low NCDWR Water Quality Classification C Sw Stream Classification (Existing and Proposed) G5/C5 Evolutionary Trend IV — degradation and widening FEMA Zone Classification X and AE in Folly Swamp flood fringe Morgan Branch Morgan Branch is a first order tributary to the Folly Ditch located just east of NC-32. Morgan Branch is incised with a bank height ratio of 3.8 and is eroded in areas where the stream banks are steep. Two active drain tiles are present in the upstream floodplain of Morgan Branch, indicating that the floodplain is being hydraulically bypassed. The last 540 feet of Morgan Branch's left floodplain is wet and frequently bush hogged while the right floodplain is a planted pine forest with a Chinese privet understory. Stream function was assessed on Morgan Branch using NCSAM and found to be Low due to deficiencies in flood flow, stream stability, water quality, in -stream and stream -side habitat, and poor vegetative bank cover.

An upslope ditch which parallels Greene Branch and a diversion channel at the property boundary diverts much of the overland flow that would naturally reach this section of Greene Branch. Wildlands installed a weir and flow gage on the diversion channel on March 15, 2019 and measured flow through April 10, 2019. The gage measured consistent ditch flow on all 26 days. Approximately midway between the diverted headwaters and Greene Branch's confluence with the Folly Ditch, is a ditched drainage that has been determined to be a linear wetland. This drainage is referred to as Pollo Branch in the project. It drains an area with four chicken -rearing houses. Downstream of this area, Greene Branch is channelized with a deeply set, constructed U-shaped channel. Erosion is present at the toe of the channel, but largely obscured by the presence of thick vegetative overgrowth above the deeply incised channel. Greene Branch is incised with a bank height ratio of 1.8. A perched culvert on this stream may function as an aquatic migration barrier. Stream function was assessed on Greene Branch using NCSAM and found to be Low due to deficiencies in water quality, in -stream and stream -side habitat, and poor vegetative bank cover. Approximately 20 cattle and 50 sheep have access to areas with the proposed conservation easement along Greene Branch. As evidenced in the photo below, they regularly disturb the herbaceous vegetation and soil structure along upper Greene Branch. Excluding them from the conservation easement area will allow the vegetation and soil structure to re-establish, as well as reduce nutrient and fecal coliform loading to the Folly Ditch.

Barker Branch becomes incised and entrenched below an active headcut just 200 feet downstream from its jurisdictional start and continues in that condition to the stream's confluence with the Folly Ditch. Stream function was assessed on Barker Branch using NCSAM and found to be Low due to deficiencies in flood flow, stream stability, water quality, in -stream and stream -side habitat, and poor vegetative bank cover.

Jurisdictional areas were delineated using the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Routine On -Site Determination Method. This method is defined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the subsequent Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Regional Supplement. All jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were located by sub -meter GPS. Wetland determination forms representative of on -site jurisdictional areas as well as non - jurisdictional upland areas are included in Appendix 2. The wetland delineation was field reviewed by USACE staff on November 6, 2019 and PJD application was submitted on November 18, 2019. There are five jurisdictional wetland features located on -site (labeled Wetland A — Wetland E). These wetland features are classified as headwater forests, bottomland hardwood forest, or seeps. Wetlands are infrequent along the project streams. Jurisdictional wetlands are present along Folly Swamp in three locations: • on the left bank just upstream from the Jordan Branch confluence • on the left bank downstream from NC32 extending to Morgan Branch • on the right bank between lower Greene Branch and lower Barker Branch Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 9 Pollo Branch and lower Jordan Branch were also mapped as jurisdictional wetlands. Pollo Branch is a linear wetland that drains from the west to the middle area of Greene Branch. Jordan Branch is a linear wetland ditch that drains from the north to the middle of Folly Swamp and demarcates the break between Reach 1 and 2. These features exhibit a high water table, pockets of shallow inundation, saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, a low chroma matrix, and hydrophytic vegetation. 3.3.3 Existing Vegetation Vegetation along the Site streams is fairly consistent, including species such as sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), smooth sumac (Rhus glabra), elderberry (Sambucus spp.), pokeberry (Phytolacca americana), dog fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), blackberry (Rubus spp.), and various grasses. Chinese privet (latin name) is present throughout the Site but is only dense at the downstream ends of Morgan Branch and Powell Branch. 3.4 Overall Functional Uplift Potential The primary stressors on site are incision and entrenchment from channelization and a lack of riparian buffers. These stressors led to Low NCSAM scores. Without intervention, Folly Swamp and its tributaries will continue to widen, which will further disconnect riparian wetland hydrology. Ultimately, functional uplift for this Site is linked to improvement in and maintenance of hydrologic connectivity between streams and riparian wetlands. Additionally, establishing a riparian buffer will protect and enhance this connectivity. Functional uplift for the site will be achieved through the following: • Restoring degraded stream channels to reduce erosion and reconnect streams to riparian wetlands to restore hydrologic connection. • Eliminating bank erosion and associated pollutants. • Planting riparian buffers to shade streams, help stabilize streams, and promote woody debris in system. • Fencing out livestock. • Protecting the site with a conservation easement. These project components are described in Section 5 in terms of goals, objectives, and outcomes for the project and in greater detail in Section 6 as the project site mitigation plan. 3.5 Site Constraints to Functional Uplift The following potential Site constraints have been identified and will be addressed as part of this project. Establishing vegetation on Priority Level 2 stream restoration (Folly Swamp and Powell Branch) has been challenging on other projects. Wildlands has prepared a Vegetation and Planting Plan (Section 3.7) to address this potential constraint. Priority Level 2 restoration may have a limited floodplain on some projects. As described in Section 6.6 Project Implementation, Wildlands will construct floodplains that are at least 4 times bankfull width and have a slope that is flatter than 5:1. Groundwater wells will be placed on the floodplains of each Site stream to assess the effect of restoration on local hydrology. Another constraint is that some of the smaller drainage areas may have low flow. Wildlands has monitored these channels and expects that 30 days of continuous flow annually will be achievable. Last, beaver may enter the Site streams because they are known to be present on lower Folly Ditch, near the Great Dismal Swamp. Wildlands will contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to remove beavers if they become a problem on the Site (i.e., within the conservation easement areas).

Table 10 summarizes the species. Table 5: Listed Threatened and Endangered Species in Gates County, NC Species Federal Status Common Name Scientific Name Red -cockaded Woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered Northern Long -Eared Bat Myotis septentrionalis Threatened American Alligator Alligator mississippiensis Similarity of Appearance (Threatened) A pedestrian survey of the site conducted on October 29, 2019 indicated that suitable habitat was present for the Red -Cockaded Woodpecker and the NLEB. No suitable habitat was found for the American alligator. No federally threatened or endangered individuals were observed. 4.1.1 Biological Conclusion A public notice was issued for comment to Federal, State, and local agencies and officials, including the USFWS, NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), and the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) on August 22, 2019. Wildlands also submitted scoping letters to these agencies on November 22, 2019 that included investigation into the presence of threatened and endangered species on Site protected under The Endangered Species Act of 1973, as well as any historical resources protected under The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. USFWS's biological conclusion for the Site is that the project "is expected to have minimal adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources". USFWS requested that USACE submit a Situation three pursuant to the SLPOES agreement to USFWS to satisfy the remaining requirements of section 7 (a)(2) of the ESA. NCWRC did not comment. SHPO concluded that the project will not affect historic resources Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 11 Regulatory communications and correspondence are included in Appendix 5 4.2 FEMA Floodplain Compliance and Hydrologic Trespass Folly Swamp, through the Site, is mapped as FEMA Zone AE with a regulatory floodway. Wildlands has preliminarily modeled the design conditions and is seeking to achieve a No -Rise condition. However, because the stream is being relocated outside of the effective regulatory floodway, a CLOMR may be required while meeting the expectation of no rises in modeled water surface elevations. If a CLOMR is required, a LOMR will be prepared after construction is complete. A floodplain development permit will be obtained as part of the mitigation project. The other project reaches, Powell Branch, Morgan Branch, Greene Branch, and Barker Branch are primarily mapped Zone X and are not modeled streams. However, the downstream extents of each tributary are located within the flood fringe of Folly Swamp. We anticipate any requirements around the tributaries will be addressed locally with Gates County through the floodplain development permit. 4.3 401/404 Five jurisdictional wetlands are located in the project area (see Section 3.3 — Project Resources). The existing jurisdictional wetlands appear in Figure 8A and 8B. The proposed stream channels are routed away from these features when possible. However, the proposed stream channels often will impact the wetlands when there is no alternative. Any wetlands within the conservation easement will be denoted in the final construction plans on the Erosion and Sediment Control plan and detail plan sheets, as well as in the project specifications. Floodplain grading will be considered a temporary impact to wetlands if final grade is within one foot of existing grade. Some wetland resources will be converted to stream resources. Wildlands expects a net gain of wetland area, as construction of the new channels will fill most of the old channels to the elevation of the existing wetlands, creating a wider overall floodplain and riparian wetland area. Table 11 estimates the anticipated impacts to wetland areas on this project. Final impacts will be provided in the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN), after proposed floodplain grading has been completed, and will more accurately quantify these data. The numbers below reflect a conservative estimate of potential impacts. Of the five individually mapped wetlands, five may have temporary impacts, and four may have permanent impacts. Wetland impacts will be scrutinized much more closely in the PCN application.

The design is also intended to provide the expected outcomes in Section 5, though these are not tied to performance criteria. Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 13 The project streams planned for restoration will be reconnected with an active floodplain and the channels will be reconstructed with stable dimension, pattern, and profile that will transport the water and sediment delivered to the system. Exceptions are in two instances when the Coastal Plain headwater approach (USACE and DENR, 2005) will be implemented. In this case the channel will have floodplain access but a single -thread channel with meandering pattern will not be constructed. Where buffer restoration or enhancement is needed, the adjacent floodplains and riparian wetlands will be planted with native tree species. Instream structures will be built in the channels to help maintain stable channel morphology and improve aquatic habitat. The Site will be protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement. The design approach for this Site employed a combination of analog and analytical approaches for stream restoration. Reference reaches were identified to serve as an acceptable range for design parameters. Channels were sized based on design discharge hydrologic analysis and empirical approaches including applying regional curve equations. Designs were then verified and/or modified based on a sediment transport analysis. This approach has been used on successful Inner Coastal Plain restoration projects (e.g., Falling Creek and Grantham Branch Mitigation Sites) and is appropriate for the goals and objectives for this Site. 6.2 Reference Streams Reference streams provide geomorphic parameters of a stable system, which can be used to inform design of stable channels of similar stream types in similar landscapes and watersheds. Eight reference reaches were identified for this Site (Figure 9) and used to support the design of Folly Swamp and its tributaries. These reference reaches were chosen because of their similarities to the Site streams including drainage area, valley slope, morphology, and bed material. All but three of the reference reaches are located either within the Yorktown Formation and Mid -Atlantic Flatwoods ecoregion that also contain the Site. The Hell Swamp and Watts mitigation projects serve as reference reaches for the Coastal Plain headwater approach. They are located slightly to the east in Quaternary deposits and the Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes (Ecoregion 63b). It appears that the geologic and ecoregion settings are relatively similar to the Site. Geomorphic parameters for most of these reference reaches are summarized in Appendix 4; the local sites used only for discharge are not included in Appendix 4. The references to be used for the specific streams are shown in Table 13. A description of each reference reach is included in Table 13.

Acorn Hill Creek is east of Sunbury and south of US 158. Like the Site, it is underlain by Yorktown formation. The land use hasn't changed since 1993 except for limited logging activity in headwater areas outside of the identified reference reaches. Four subwatersheds ranging in size from approximately 170 acres to 670 acres provided several examples of Site -similar drainage areas with well -formed channels. It should be noted that the soils at Acorn Hill are primarily Nawney loam, Bladen loam, and lesser Pantego fine sandy loam. These are largely the same as the Site soils. Wildlands conducted four detailed geomorphic surveys and additional cross sections of mostly single - thread channels within the Acorn Hill system. These includes the North Fork of Acorn Hill Creek (0.27 Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 15 square mile drainage area and 0.31% channel slope), the South Fork of Acorn Hill Creek (0.7 square mile drainage area and 0.13% channel slope), Outland Branch (0.81 square mile drainage area and 0.70% channel slope), and the Acorn Hill Creek (1.05+ square mile drainage area and 0.11% channel slope). Cross sections were measured at several other locations in the Acorn Hill Creek system that were reference quality. The Acorn Hill reference reaches served to define the lower end of the reference reach curve. They also served to develop dimension and profile parameters for the Site streams. Tree roots formed natural grade control features on these references. The drop height over these roots informed how grade is dropped on low -slope Site reaches including Folly Swamp and Powell Branch. 6.3 Design Discharge Analysis Multiple methods were used to develop bankfull discharge estimates for each of the project restoration reaches: the NC Rural Coastal Plain Regional Curve (Doll et al., 2003), the EcoScience Coastal Plain Curve (Sweet and Geratz, 2003), Wildlands Regional Flood Frequency Analysis, a site -specific reference reach curve, and data from previous successful design projects. The resulting values were compared and concurrence between the estimates was evaluated. The purpose of using multiple methods to estimate design discharge is to eliminate reliance on a single method as the basis of channel design. However, the methods commonly produce significantly different results so professional judgement must be used to select the final design discharge for each restoration reach. Each of the methods used to estimate discharge are described below and the results of the analysis are summarized in Table 14 and illustrated in Figure 11. 6.3.1 Published Regional Curve Data The NC Rural Coastal Plain Regional Curve published by Doll et al. in 2003 and the EcoScience Coastal Plain Curve were used to estimate discharge based on the drainage area of each design reach. The discharge values derived from these regional curves were in the same range as those derived from the site -specific reference reach curve and consistently lower than the figures produced by the Wildlands Regional Flood Frequency Analysis. 6.3.2 Regional Flood Frequency Analysis Wildlands developed a regional flood frequency analysis relation for the NC Coastal Plain region based on methodology described in the 2009 USGS publication Magnitude and Frequency of Rural Floods in the Southeastern United States, through 2006 (Weaver et al., 2009). Of the 103 stations referenced in the publication, 12 stations with drainage areas ranging from 0.28 to 7.63 square miles were used in the development of the tool. The applicable stations were selected based on several criteria such as geographic region, drainage area, watershed characteristics, and dates of data collection. Peak flow data from the 12 USGS stream stations used for the creation of this relation were analyzed for homogeneity using Hosking and Wallis (1993) heterogeneity statistics in the statistics program R®. All stations were found to be acceptably homogeneous. The included gages are as follows: • USGS 02227422 — Crooked Creek Tributary near Bristol, GA (DA = 0.28 mil) • USGS 0209173190 — Unnamed Tributary to Sand Run near Lizzie, NC (DA = 0.57 mil) • USGS 02227990 — Satilla River Tributary 2 at Atkinson, GA (DA = 0.67 mil) • USGS 02169960 — Lake Marion Tributary near Vance, SC (DA = 2.12 mil) • USGS 01668300 — Farmers Hall Creek near Champlain, VA (DA = 2.18 mil) • USGS 021355013 — Davis Branch near Sumter, SC (DA = 2.50 mil) • USGS 02136361 — Turkey Creak near Maryville, SC (DA = 4.25 mil) • USGS 021720725 — Canton Creek near Moncks Corner, SC (DA = 4.82 mil) • USGS 02148090 — Swift Creek near Camden, SC (DA = 4.90 mil) • USGS 02130800 — Backswamp near Darlington, SC (DA = 6.22 mil) Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 16 USGS 01661800— Bush Mill Stream near Heathsvi Ile, VA (DA = 6.77 mil) USGS 02102908— Flat Creek near Iverness, NC (DA = 7.63 mil) The data from these 12 gage stations were used to develop flood frequency curves for the 1-year, 1.2-year, 1.5-year, 1.8-year, and 2-year recurrence interval discharges. These relations can be used to estimate discharge of those recurrence intervals for ungaged streams in the same hydrologic region and were solved to determine the discharge of each project reach with the drainage area as the input. The Wildlands regional flood frequency analysis produced discharge values that were consistently higher than the other two primary discharge analysis methods. 6.3.3 Site Specific Reference Reach Curve A total of 14 reference reaches were identified for this project (Section 6.2) and all but the two Coastal Plain Headwater reaches were used to develop a Site -Specific Reference Reach Curve. Each reference reach was surveyed to develop information for analyzing drainage area -discharge relationships. Some were only used for plotting on a Site -specific reference curve for discharge and did not include development of design parameters for pattern or profile; these channels do not appear in the Appendix reference reach table. Stable cross -sectional dimensions and channel slopes were used to compute a bankfull discharge with the Manning's equation for each reference reach. The resulting discharge values were plotted against drainage area to make a Site -specific reference curve. The discharge values derived from the resulting curve were consistently lower than the published Coastal Plain regional curve data and the Wildlands regional flood frequency analysis. 6.3.4 Design Discharge Analysis Summary The results of the design discharge analysis provided a range of discharge values. There was convergence between the estimates derived from the NC Rural Coastal Plain Regional Curve and the Wildlands regional flood frequency analysis 1.2-year discharges for Folly Swamp and Powell Branch. The results of the two methods had an average variation of 9% over the design reaches. On the other hand, the Wildlands regional flood frequency analysis returned values for the 1.2-year event that were consistently higher than the other two primary methods for the other design streams (Morgan Branch, Greene Branch, and Barker Branch). For Morgan Branch, Greene Branch, and Barker Branch, there was convergence between the estimates derived from the NC Rural Coastal Plain Regional Curve and the site -specific reference reach curve. On average, these two methods differed by 19% over the four design reaches. Wildlands ultimately selected a weighted design discharge approach by using 33% weight from the reference reach curve, 27% weight from the NC Rural Coastal Plain Regional Curve, 20% weight from the 1.2-year flood frequency analysis, 13% weight from the EcoScience Coastal Plain Curve, and 7% weight from the 1.5-year flood frequency analysis. The products of this weighted design discharge were 8-25% above those of the reference reach curve. Table 14 provides a summary of the discharge analysis. Figure 11 illustrates the design discharge data.

Ranges of pattern parameters were developed within the reference reach parameter ranges with some exceptions based on best professional judgement and knowledge from previous projects. For example, radius of curvature ratio is kept above 1.9 on all reaches and meander width ratio is kept above 2.9 in the moderately confined valleys of the Folly Swamp site. Wildlands has found these minimum ratios to support stable geometry. For the B channel headwater reaches, channel design did not follow the stream pattern ratios. Reference ranges were also used to inform the design of the cross -sections on the streams. The streams were designed with pool widths to be approximately 1.3 times the width of riffles to provide adequate point bars and riffle pool transition zones. Designer experience was used for pool design as well. Pool depths were designed to be a minimum of nearly 2.0 times deeper than riffles to provide habitat variation. Cross-section parameters such as area, depth, and width were designed based on the design discharge and stable bank slopes. The width to depth ratio was increased beyond some of the reference parameters to provide stable bank slopes prior to the establishment of a vegetated streambank. A summary of morphological parameters for several Site reaches, including Folly Swamp R1 and R2, Powell Branch, Morgan Branch, Greene Branch R2, and Barker Branch R2 are listed in Tables 15, 16, and 17. Complete morphological tables for existing, reference, and proposed conditions are provided in Appendix 4.

The primary consideration for sediment transport in this project is transport capacity. This is measured by stream power. Shear stress is not a factor because the sand bed streams will mobilize all particles in a sediment -moving discharge event. Furthermore, the existing streams, for the most part, are not aggrading or degrading, though some are widening, and lower Greene and Barker Branches are degrading. Wildlands conducted an analysis to see if changes to stream power might affect the channel condition. If a problem is identified, further grade control or bank revetment measures could be implemented. On -site streams were visually inspected numerous times between 2018 and 2020 to qualitatively assess bank erosion and aggradation and degradation within the channels. Site streams exhibit some evidence of Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 20 on -going fluvial erosion of streambanks and channel bottom. However, if streambank and bed erosion is reduced through restoration and enhancement activities, this sediment load will be greatly reduced. The restoration design will also more uniformly distribute stream power and shear stress in the channels. Set in mostly flat valleys and channels, the Folly Swamp streams are not prone to degradation. As such, the design will generally not include threshold structures to prevent headcuts from forming and migrating. One exception is where reach slopes are steeper for channels to drop from a higher grade to the existing bed grade. In those cases, threshold structures will include log sills, woody riffles that include gravel backfill, and combinations of the two. Rock will be obtained from a Coastal Plain pea gravel pit that provides material in the 2- to 6-inch diameter range. This material was used at the Falling Creek Mitigation Site in Wayne County and is of suitable size and type to meet the requirements of the Site. Another potential source of erosion is runoff from agricultural fields within the project area. Row crop fields and cattle pasture deliver fine sediment that appears to be mostly transported by the existing channels. With a planted riparian buffer, the potential for washload to the proposed streams will be significantly reduced. Consequently, due to a decrease in potential sediment loading, lower stream power in the design streams should not result in increased aggradation potential. 6.5.1 Competence Analysis Competence analyses were performed during design for each of the restoration reaches by comparing shear stress associated with the design bankfull discharge, proposed channel dimensions, and proposed channel slopes. The analysis used standard equations based on a methodology using the Shields (1936) curve and Andrews (1980) equation described by Rosgen (2001). The results of the analysis are shown in Table 18. One reach that warrants closer attention is Powell Branch Reach 2, where the channel is relatively steep as it is dropped from a higher restored grade to existing grade in the Folly Ditch. Additional grade control and bank revetments, such as brush toe, will be implemented here to prevent channel degradation and bank erosion. Morgan Branch and Folly Swamp include similar short transitional zones, but the gradient change is less significant than for Powell Branch. 6.5.2 Capacity Analysis Table 18 lists the estimated design and existing stream power for each of the primary restoration stream channels. The primary objective of calculating capacity was to note where design stream power varies demonstrably from existing stream power and whether the existing conditions indicate a problem may result. For example, if the existing stream is degrading and stream power increases, further degradation may be expected. As shown, stream power increases in Greene Branch Reach 2B and is relatively high in Powell Branch Reach 2. The increase in stream power in Greene Branch is not concerning because it is a relatively small increase; however, the existing channel is degrading in this section. As a result, additional grade control and bank revetments will be implemented in Greene Branch Reach 2B. As described above, Powell Branch Reach 2 will receive additional grade control and bank revetments. Finally, low stream power is not expected to be an issue with the Site because the future bedload and washload are expected to be negligible.

All project reaches will include the establishment of the following: 1. A conservation easement protecting the project from uses that would damage it. 2. A riparian buffer that consists of native hardwood species at a density to meet success criteria. 3. Livestock exclusion where applicable. 4. Invasive species treatment. 6.6.1 Folly Swamp Reaches 1 and 2 Folly Swamp will be restored beginning at the upstream property line and continuing through the conservation easement to the downstream property line. At the upstream end of the project Folly Swamp will be gradually raised with Priority Level 2 restoration. It is designed to have a shallow but wide floodplain Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 22 of at least five times bankfull width. As with all reaches, the highest floodplain elevation attainable will be targeted. The terrace slopes will rise very gradually from the excavated floodplain such that the width from existing ground to existing ground will be approximately 125 to 175 feet. The side cast berm along the existing ditch will be removed. A new travel way will be reconstructed outside of the conservation easement. The restored stream will gently meander through an excavated valley, restoring pattern to the straightened channel. The Folly Swamp design consists of a two -stage channel. A smaller pilot channel will thread through a larger meandering channel. The pilot channel is designed to transport baseflow and the sediment load carried at that stage. The larger meandering channel has a width -to -depth ratio of 19, which targets a channel dimension similar to that at Acorn Hill Creek, a nearby reference stream system. Pools comprise 72% of the reach and are designed to be flat to allow for grade drops over log structures. Riffles, as in the Acorn Hill reaches, are used sparingly in only the short downstream transitional section. Stream structures are placed primarily for habitat formation and maintenance as there is low shear stress. Woody material will be incorporated as much as possible to mimic conditions found in the Acorn Hill system. Where grading is required to lower floodplain elevations topsoil will be stockpiled and combined into subsurface soil to achieve final grades. Additionally, soil samples have been collected and analyzed, and amendments will be added as necessary to achieve desirable pH and nutrient levels. Chicken litter is being obtained and composted to be added to the Priority 2 cut areas. This will boost soil properties such as organic matter, fertility, and water retention. Floodplain slopes will have grades no steeper than 5:1 to reduce rilling before vegetation establishes and to better stabilize soil structure. Stockpiled topsoil will be reapplied with the necessary soil amendments after the final slopes are completed. Wildlands will work to establish temporary vegetation on these slopes as quickly as possible to ensure erosion is limited. Section 6.7 includes details on how Wildlands will address soil compaction. The wetland (Wetland D, —0.67 acres) identified in the preliminary JD has been avoided as much as possible. The proposed stream alignment is as far south as the property boundary allows, which brings the restored channel through the narrower end of the wetland. A gage has been placed on the northern side of the wetland, approximately halfway between where the cut slope begins and the conservation easement boundary, to determine the project's effect on wetland hydrology. Additionally, it is expected that wetlands will be created along the excavated floodplain. In sum, except for livestock exclusion, the restoration proposed for Folly Swamp will meet the goals and objectives outlined in Table 13 (Section 5). 6.6.2 Powell Branch Powell Branch will be restored below the Savage Road culvert until its confluence with Folly Ditch. For the first approximately 900 feet of Powell Branch, a functional floodplain will be constructed using a Priority Level 2 approach with an average depth of floodplain cut, relative to existing top of bank, of 2.6 feet. This approach will be necessary because the proposed starting thalweg elevation cannot exceed the existing thalweg elevation without creating increased backwater conditions that extend upstream to and past Savage Road. To avoid potential adverse effects from floodplain cut, topsoil will be removed and stockpiled before further excavation. The stockpiled topsoil will be reapplied and improved with soil amendments. Priority Level 1 restoration will be implemented beyond the first 900 feet until the confluence with Folly Ditch. The floodplain cut will be significantly reduced throughout this length of valley. To achieve the desired floodplain width, the wooded area on lower Powell Branch, which is dominated by Chinese privet, will be cleared and replanted. Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 23 The vast majority of Powell Branch will have a wide floodplain of at least four times bankfull width. Like Folly Swamp, Powell Branch has been designed with a two -stage channel. A smaller pilot channel will thread through a larger meandering channel. The pilot channel is designed to transport baseflow and the sediment load carried at that stage. The larger meandering channel has a width -to -depth ratio of 20, which targets the channel dimension present at Acorn Hill Creek, a nearby reference stream system. The two -stage Powell Branch channel transitions to a single stage channel approximately 370 feet from Folly Ditch. This transition is necessitated by an increased channel slope which will result in increased stream velocities and a reduced cross -sectional area will be required to carry the design bankfull discharge. Except for livestock exclusion, the restoration proposed for Powell Branch will meet the goals and objectives outlined in Table 13 (Section 5). 6.6.3 Morgan Branch Morgan Branch will be initially restored with shallow Priority 2 restoration that uses a floodplain elevation of approximately one foot below the existing ditch top of bank. This will allow for a wide floodplain, very limited cut, and balanced earthwork. As such, the disturbance to the existing soil profiles will be minimal and trees, with proposed soil amendments, should readily establish. By approximately 1,200 feet, Morgan Branch will be at Priority 1 depth according to the existing top of bank. Priority 1 restoration then continues for 2,100 feet. The final 300 feet of the Morgan Branch design implements a steeper, Piedmont -like C channel to drop gradient over three woody riffles and tie in the with deeper Folly Ditch. The grading plan for Morgan Branch, to be completed while the draft mitigation plan is reviewed, will seek to balance earthwork and promote drainage from the surrounding agricultural fields. The finished floodplain will widen at a flat elevation initially and then taper at a 10:1 slope to existing grade. Two drain tiles enter Morgan Branch at 700 and 1,600 feet into the restored alignment. Vernal pools will be constructed to receive flow from the tiles. The vernal pools will then be drained to the proposed channel with small channels. Angled log sills and log sill with rootwads were used to serve as grade control. Brush toes and cover logs are also used throughout the reach. An existing wetland approaches the stream's right bank at the furthest downstream riffle in the vicinity of stream station 435+00. A small amount of grading may be conducted to install a woody riffle along this wetland, resulting in a temporary wetlands impact. Except for livestock exclusion, the restoration proposed for Morgan Branch will meet the goals and objectives outlined in Table 13 (Section 5). 6.6.4 Greene Branch Upper Greene Branch is complicated by the fact that it is not fed by the drainage area expected based on the surrounding topography. However, by installing a culvert at the upstream end and plugging the ditch below the head of the proposed culvert, the natural drainage of upper Greene Branch will be reconstituted and the riparian corridor will be restored using the Coastal Plain headwater valley approach. Wildlands has an agreement in concept with the neighboring landowner to purchase a conservation easement that will allow the culvert installation and ditch plugging. It will also restrict drainage alteration in the 1.59 acres leading to the culvert. This will prevent any drainage modification that would undo the re- establishment of the natural drainage pattern. Trees will not be planted on this 1.59 acres and farming will continue. Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 24 The Coastal Plain headwater design proposed for Greene Branch will utilize the existing hydrology of the wooded valley to the greatest extent possible. An existing ditch within the adjacent open pasture that runs parallel to the wooded valley will be filled and flow to the existing ditch will be rerouted to the low area of the wooded valley. Necessary grading within this reach will include the creation of gentle swales to hydraulically connect existing flow paths and low areas within the valley as well as connect the proposed culvert, described above, to the valley. Where swales are proposed, woody structures will be added to mimic the existing intertwined network of tree roots that serve as grade control and habitat structures. Livestock will be excluded from the easement. The upper reach of Greene Branch (Reach 1) is proposed at a 1.5:1 credit ratio, based on valley length. This considers that vegetation is already well established. Greene Branch Reach 2, an incised and maintained ditch, will be restored with Priority 1 restoration approach. Jurisdictional wetlands will be avoided as much as possible; the only wetland impact will be along the end of the reach, beginning approximately 190 linear feet above the confluence with Folly Ditch. Within this area and within the roughly 220 linear feet above the start of the wetland impact, the proposed bankfull profile will follow the existing ground nearly exactly with less than 0.2 feet of vertical deviation. Along Greene Branch Reach 2 upstream of this area, the proposed bankfull profile generally follows the existing top of bank elevations. It should be noted that the permanent wetland impacts along lower Greene Branch will be limited to the new channel location. Wetlands hydrology and vegetation will be rehabilitated over a broad area. Impacts to the wetland identified in the preliminary JD (Wetland B, —1.56 acres) have been avoided as much as possible. The proposed stream alignment does go through the wetland; however, the stream is at grade and consequently the water table should be at least similar to the existing condition. A monitoring well has been established to allow comparison of pre- and post -construction conditions. Because of the backwater condition of Folly Ditch due to beaver activity, it is not necessary to have a steep connecting grade on lower Greene Branch. Beaver maintenance has been attempted on lower Folly Ditch, but, likely due to its proximity to the Great Dismal Swamp, it has proven difficult to prevent beaver from returning. As described in Section 3.6, if necessary, Wildlands will contract to control beaver within the conservation easement areas. Lower Folly Ditch is outside of the Site and will not be placed in a conservation easement. The restoration proposed for Greene Branch will meet the goals and objectives outlined in Table 13 (Section 5). 6.6.5 Barker Branch Barker Branch will be restored using the Coastal Plain headwater valley approach. Unlike Greene Branch Reach 1, most of this system exists within open agricultural fields. The conservation easement extends approximately 250 feet to the south and 150 feet to the east-southeast upstream of the beginning of the proposed work so that the resulting backwater from the starting elevation of the headwater valley will not extend outside of the conservation easement. A headwater valley will be established where the existing ditch converges with a shallow ditch from the east and leaves the treeline. Credit for this reach will not be started until it reaches the intermittent/ephemeral break as determined by NCDWR. This location is approximately 360 feet from where the headwater valley alignment commences. The proposed alignment of the headwater valley follows the floodplain left of the existing ditch because this area is lower in elevation than the right floodplain. An existing culvert crossing will be reconstructed in essentially the same location and will be designed to blend into the proposed restoration work. Beginning approximately 190 linear feet downstream of the crossing, the headwater valley will follow the existing ditch for approximately 440 linear feet. Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 25 To limit backwater to within the easement, as described above, valley cut will be required for roughly the upper half of Barker Branch. For the lower half, the proposed headwater valley generally follows the existing ditch top of bank elevations. As with Powell Branch Reach 1, appropriate steps will be taken to preserve topsoil and facilitate plant growth within cut areas. As Barker Branch approaches Folly Ditch, the proposed centerline is moved about 20 feet to the left of the existing ditch to preserve existing trees. The alignment will slightly impact the edge of an existing jurisdictional wetland (also Wetland B) that runs along the Folly Ditch. The higher restored profile, relative to the existing ditch bottom, however, will enhance the hydrology of the adjacent wetlands. Additionally, the wetland area will be placed in a conservation easement and planted with tree species appropriate for its hydrology. The restoration proposed for Barker Branch will meet the goals and objectives outlined in Table 13 (Section 5). 6.7 Vegetation, Planting Plan, and Land Management 6.7.1 Vegetation and Planting Plan The Site will be planted and seeded with a combination of early and later successional native vegetation chosen to create a coastal plain bottomland hardwood forest community. The specific species composition will be selected based on the community type, observations from floristic inventory in the existing and reference -reach buffers, and best professional judgment on species establishment and anticipated site conditions in the early years following project implementation. Potential species to be planted in the floodplain and wetland areas of the Site include bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), willow oak (Quercus phellos), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), river birch (eetula nigra), swamp tupelo (Nyssa biflora), and sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana). Stream banks may be planted with species such as black willow (Salix nigra), Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), and silky dogwood (Cornus amomum). Understory species such as arrow wood (Viburnum dentatum) and winterberry (Ilex verticillata) will also be included in the planting plan to enhance diversity. Soil samples were collected and analyzed. Amendments will be added as necessary to achieve desirable pH and nutrient levels. This includes composted poultry litter, lime, and humic acid. Soil composition test results show possible subsoil deficiencies in zinc and magnesium. Plant growth and health will be monitored to determine whether there is a need for diagnostic plant tissue sampling and additional soil amendments. Floodplain slopes will have grades that range from 5:1 to 10:1 to reduce rilling before vegetation establishes and to better stabilize soil structure. Stockpiled topsoil will be reapplied with the necessary soil amendments after the final slopes are completed. Wildlands will work to establish temporary vegetation on these slopes as quickly as possible to ensure erosion is limited. Where grading is required to lower floodplain elevations topsoil will be stockpiled and combined into subsurface soil with composted poultry litter to achieve final grades. Wildlands will also work to reduce soil compaction in highly compacted areas such as farm or haul roads. This will be accomplished by ripping the soil with an excavator or an agricultural ripping element (e.g. chisel plow). Ripping these areas will reduce plant growth -limiting bulk densities and increase porosity for better water absorption by the soils. Soil compaction may also be reduced on larger areas with less severe compaction by seeding annual species such as daikon radish or other tillage radish varieties specifically bred to reduce soil compaction. The mix of vegetation on the site will also include N-fixers such as partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata var. fasciculata) that will improve soil fertility on the site. Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 26 Adding or incorporating ramial wood chips to the floodplain is another approach that Wildlands may employ. Ramial wood chips are made from small diameter stems and branches (<2.5") of hardwood tree species and are beneficial to soil restoration by promoting mycorrhizal and saprophytic fungal growth. The cambium to cellulose ratio of small -diameter branches is high so that the carbon to nitrogen ratio is low. This avoids the soil nitrogen robbing capacity that is known to occur when 'green wood' decays on the ground surface. Instead, it adds organic material and promotes fungal growth. This, or any other, addition of organic material of will also make macro- and micro -nutrients more available to plants and act as a buffer in acidic or basic soils. In summary, Wildlands understands it will be held to the tree survival and growth performance standards specified in the October 2016 Wilmington District Compensatory Mitigation Update. Additional monitoring and maintenance issues regarding vegetation can be found in Appendix 6. 6.7.2 Land Management The primary purpose of land management prior to construction is to effectively prepare and set the stage for successful ecological restoration. This includes site preparation, soil testing and amendments, and chemical and mechanical treatments to remove non-native invasive species. Dense infestations of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) in portions of the Site make this species a primary target. Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellate) and mimosa (Albizzia julibrissin) have been identified as secondary targets for chemical treatment. Prior to construction, in two heavily privet -infested portions of the easement Wildlands anticipates work -intensive cut stump treatment. The Site will be monitored for non-native invasive species and treated as necessary during the monitoring period. Additionally, Wildlands will also monitor the Site for future land management issues such as floodplain erosion, areas of poor vegetation growth, and boundary encroachments. 6.8 Utilities, Stream Crossings, and Site Access Table 19 summarizes the proposed crossings on the Site. The only crossing that is included in the easement is that on Greene Branch because livestock are in this area. This crossing will be fenced with 5-strand barbed wire or charged high -tensile wire and gated. The crossings will be designed to allow for fish passage and aquatic habitat continuity. Culvert pipes will be buried 6 to 12 inches to allow for a natural stream bed through the crossing. Many existing culverts on the Site have vertical profile steps at the outfalls, posing a challenge to fish passage. Restoration activities will help to improve aquatic passage and stream habitat by replacing these perched culverts and allowing for a continuous stream bed habitat. Table 19: Crossings Summary Reach Crossing Location (STA) Crossing Type Within Conservation Easement? Folly Swamp R1 114+64 culvert No Greene Branch R2 618+32 culvert Yes Barker Branch R1 705+24 culvert No There are two additional culverts but these do not, per se, constitute Site crossings. The culvert at the downstream end of Folly Swamp Reach 2 will be replaced. And the culvert being installed to add drainage area to Greene Branch will be upstream of where stream crediting begins. Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 27 7.0 Determination of Credits The final stream credits proposed for the Site are listed in Table 20. All the stream buffers measure will be at least 50 feet from the top of the stream banks, with some exceptions in the vicinity of reach starts and finishes. These exceptions total much less than 5% of the total project stream length. The credit release schedule is in Appendix 7.

Annual monitoring and routine site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project by a qualified scientist. Specific performance standards that apply to the Site are those described in the 2016 Compensatory Mitigation Update including Vegetation (Section V, B, Items 1 through 3), Stream Channel Stability and Stream Hydrology (Section VI, B, Items 1 through 7), and Headwater Stream Performance Standards (Section Vill, B, Items 1 and 2).

Changes in the channel that indicate a movement toward stability or enhanced habitat include a decrease in the width -to -depth ratio in meandering channels or an increase in pool depth. It is important to note that in sand bed channels, pools and bed forms (ripples, dunes, etc.) may migrate overtime as a natural function of the channel hydraulics. It is also of note that sand bed streams are highly mobile and movement of the bed material during storm events is not considered a sign of instability. This could lead to changes in pool depth from storm to storm. These sorts of bed changes do not constitute a problem or indicate a need for remedial actions. If channel changes indicate a movement toward stability, remedial action will not be taken. This is a sand bed system and the nature of the bed material is not expected to change over time. No pebble counts will be conducted for the project reaches and no performance standard is being set for substrate. Wetlands have been degraded due to ditching, drain tiles, and stream channelization. Though no wetland credits are being sought, the proposed restoration work should create wetlands along the restored channels. Wildlands will install a monitoring well at each restoration area to document relatively high water table levels. For the existing wetlands along Folly Swamp and Greene Branch, these gages will also help assess the impacts to wetland hydrology from the mitigation project. The extent of invasive species coverage will be monitored and controlled as necessary throughout the required seven-year monitoring period. All herbicide applications will be performed in accordance with the NC Department of Agriculture rules and regulations. 9.0 Monitoring Plan An annual Site monitoring plan has been developed to ensure that the required performance standards are met, and project goals and objectives are achieved. Annual monitoring reports will provide data and a chronology that will facilitate an understanding of Site status and assist in decision making regarding close- out. The monitoring period will extend seven years beyond completion of construction or until performance criteria have been met. Table 22, below, describes how the monitoring plan is set up to verify project goals and objectives have been achieved.

Unique Places to Save (UP2Save) will serve as the Grantee and long-term Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 32 manager and will be the party responsible for long-term management. The conservation easement will be transferred to UP2Save prior to the initial credit release. UP2Save is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is committed to land conservation through sustainable planning and management. UP2Save has the ability, both logistically and financially, to monitor and enforce the provisions of the conservation easement and long-term management plan. The organization operates in a sustainable manner to facilitate operations well into the future. UP2Save has been approved to serve as the easement holder and long-term manager on several mitigation banks in North Carolina, including the Falling Creek, Daniels, Creek, Hoosier Dam, and Box Creek projects. Additional qualifications and UP2Save's annual report can be provided upon request. 10.2 Long -Term Management Activities Prior to the initial credit release and following authorization of the Mitigation Banking Instrument, the Site will be protected in perpetuity with a conservation easement. Following the issuance of the close-out letter (i.e., final determination of success), long-term management activities will be conducted to ensure the Site remains perpetually monitored. The long-term manager will be responsible for inspecting the Site annually, conducting the long-term management activities described below, and rectifying identified deficiencies as necessary. The restrictions and long-term management responsibilities will convey with the land, should the property be transferred in the future. The long-term manager will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Site to ensure that the restrictions documented in the recorded easement are upheld.

The USACE, and their the restrictions associated with the recorded recorded conservation authorized agents, shall have the right conservation easement. easement. to enter and inspect the Site and to take actions necessary to verify compliance with the conservation easement. 10.3 Funding Mechanism Anticipated long-term management activities and their associated annual cost are listed in Table 25 below. Wildlands will fund a stewardship endowment that will be managed by UP2Save. UP2Save's endowment is designated to provide on -going revenue to support long-term management activities. The stewardship endowment is invested to provide recurring revenue to cover the cost of anticipated annual activities, easement defense, and violation resolution. Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 33 The level of effort for each activity is listed in hours or as a lump sum (LS). The cost per unit or labor rate and anticipated frequency were utilized to calculate the total and annual activity cost. For example, the steward anticipates four hours of staff time at a rate of $50 per hour to support adjacent landowner coordination, which may consist of coordinating with current and adjacent landowners to ensure access and maintain relationships and scheduling site visits. A conservative (lower than anticipated) rate of return (or capitalization rate) of 4.50% and the estimated annual costs of the identified management activities were utilized to determine the endowment funding requirement.

Long-term management responsibilities will not be transferred unless the long-term manager receives written authorization from the USACE. 11.0 Adaptive Management Plan Upon completion of Site construction, Wildlands will implement the post -construction monitoring protocols and minor remedial actions (routine maintenance — see Maintenance Plan in Appendix 6) will be performed as needed for the duration of the monitoring period. Wildlands, as the Sponsor, will notify the USACE immediately if monitoring results or visual observations suggest a trend towards instability, major Wildlands Pasquotank Umbrella Mitigation Bank Draft Mitigation Plan Folly Swamp Mitigation Site June 2020 Page 34 remedial actions are needed, or that performance standards cannot be achieved. Should major remedial measures be required, the Sponsor will submit a Corrective Action Plan and coordinate with the USACE until authorization is secured to conduct the adaptive management activities. The Bank Sponsor is responsible for funding and/or providing the services necessary to secure any necessary permits to support the proposed major remedial adaptive management actions, to implement the corrective action plan, and to deliver record drawings that depict the extent and nature of the work performed. If the USACE determines that the Bank is not meeting performance standards or the Sponsor is not complying with the terms of the instrument, the USACE may take appropriate actions, including but not limited to: suspending credit sales, utilizing financial assurances, and/or terminating the instrument. 12.0 Financial Assurances Financial assurances will be provided in the form of insurance for the activities specified in this plan. The insurance will assure performance of construction and monitoring work to restore, enhance and/or preserve the project aquatic resources. The principal amount of the insurance will be based on Table 26, below. Construction insurance will convert to monitoring insurance upon as -built report approval. Wildlands Holdings VI, LLC will serve as the Named Insured and Nautilus Insurance Company will serve as the insurance carrier. In the event that Wildlands Holdings VI, LLC fails to meet the conditions of the Mitigation Plan, Nautilus may fulfill these obligations either by performing those obligations up to the applicable annual Limits of Insurance described in the policy's Declaration Pages, or by paying such claim(s) to a willing party acceptable to the USACE, who would develop a proposal to fulfill the mitigation obligations. The insurance will stipulate that any insurance payouts be made payable to an established third party. Unique Places to Save (UP2Save) is to serve as the third party for this Mitigation Bank. At such time as funds are distributed to UP2Save, they will become a surety to the insurance. Financial assurances will not be structured to provide funds to the USACE in the event of default by the Principal (Sponsor). The USACE will be notified a minimum of 120 days prior to termination of financial assurances. A letter from UP2Save acknowledging their third -party status is located in Appendix 8. Insurance will be phased to allow coverage through the monitoring period. Insurance covering construction will be provided after the MBI is approved and prior to the initial credit release. The casualty insurance will be retired upon submittal of the final as -built report to the DE. The initial term of the insurance policy will be 15 months and will include an option to renew the policy for a term not to exceed one year to cover site construction. The principal amount of the construction insurance will be calculated based on the remaining cost to complete engineering, permitting, and construction activities as described in Table 26. Note, the cost of recording easements will not be included in the construction insurance as this process will be complete at the time the insurance is submitted to the USACE. Following retirement of the construction insurance, insurance for annual monitoring will be utilized to cover anticipated monitoring and adaptive management costs. Insurance will be structured to provide continuous coverage through a single policy that will decrement in value each year according to Table 26. Annual monitoring insurance will be submitted to the USACE upon approval of each previous year's monitoring report. The principal amount of monitoring insurance is calculated based on the total estimated costs that remains through closeout, including monitoring and maintenance activities. Table 26 lists the proposed insurance principal amounts for each monitoring year.

This area totals 50.65 acres. The deed book and page number listed are for the agreements on an option to purchase a conservation easement. A conservation easement will be recorded on the parcels and includes streams and wetlands being restored along with their corresponding riparian buffers. Note that 1.59 acres of the conservation easement on the Barker parcel at the head of Greene Branch (i.e., where culvert will be installed below to add natural drainage area) will be limited to a drainage alteration restriction only. That is, trees will not be planted, and easement restrictions will be limited to preventing the existing drainage pattern from being altered.

I, the undersigned, am either a duly authorized owner of record of the property identified herein, or acting as the duly authorized agent of the owner of record of the property. Print Name Capacity: ❑ Owner Z Authorized Agent' Date Signature E. REASON FOR JD REQUEST: (Check as many as applicable) ❑ I intend to construct/develop a projector perform activities on this parcel which would be designed to avoid all aquatic resources. ❑ I intend to construct/develop a projector perform activities on this parcel which would be designed to avoid all jurisdictional aquatic resources under Corps authority. ❑✓ I intend to construct/develop a projector perform activities on this parcel which may require authorization from the Corps, and the JD would be used to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional aquatic resources and as an initial step in a future permitting process. ❑ I intend to construct/develop a projector perform activities on this parcel which may require authorization from the Corps; this request is accompanied by my permit application and the JD is to be used in the permitting process. ❑ I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities in a navigable water of the U.S. which is included on the district Section 10 list and/or is subject to the ebb and flow of the tide. ❑ A Corps JD is required in order obtain my local/state authorization. ❑ I intend to contest jurisdiction over a particular aquatic resource and request the Corps confirm that jurisdiction does/does not exist over the aquatic resource on the parcel. ❑ I believe that the site may be comprised entirely of dry land. ❑ Other: s For NCDOT requests following the current NCDOT/USACE protocols, skip to Part E. a If there are multiple parcels owned by different parties, please provide the following for each additional parcel on a continuation sheet. s Must provide agent authorization form/letter signed by owner(s). Version: May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) 0 I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminM JD for the property identified herein. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property. PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is "preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. ❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years (subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05- 02). ❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision.

For Approved Jurisdictional Determinations: ■ Jurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404 wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features. ■ Jurisdictional non -wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries, impoundments) should be labeled as Non -Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary, open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear length of each of these features as appropriate. ■ Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non - jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non -Jurisdictional. Please include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e. "Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage or linear length of these features as appropriate. For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations: Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404, Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and linear length of these features as appropriate. Completed Wetland Determination Data Forms for appropriate region (at least one wetland and one upland form needs to be completed for each wetland type) 6 Please refer to the guidance document titled "Survey Standards for Jurisdictional Determinations" to ensure that the supplied map meets the necessary mapping standards. hM2://www.saw.usace.4rmy.mil/Missions/Regulatoly-Permit- Pro gram/Jurisdiction/ Version: May 2017 Page 5 Jurisdictional Determination Request F4Completed appropriate Jurisdictional Determination form • PJDs, please complete a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form' and include the Aquatic Resource Table • AJDS• please complete an Approved Jurisdictional Determination Form'.

Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.

Vegetative Composition —First 100 feet of streamside area metric (skip for Tidal Marsh Streams) Evaluate the dominant vegetation within 100 feet of each bank or to the edge of the watershed (whichever comes first) as it contributes to assessment reach habitat. LB RB [—�A [—�A Vegetation is close to undisturbed in species present and their proportions. Lower strata composed of native species, with non-native invasive species absent or sparse. B B Vegetation indicates disturbance in terms of species diversity or proportions, but is still largely composed of native species. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clear -cutting or clearing or communities with non-native invasive species present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata or communities missing understory but retaining canopy trees. RC RC Vegetation is severely disturbed in terms of species diversity or proportions. Mature canopy is absent or communities with non-native invasive species dominant over a large portion of expected strata or communities composed of planted stands of non -characteristic species or communities inappropriately composed of a single species or no vegetation. 25.

(Wildlands) led the group on a tour of the Folly Swamp mitigation site in Corapeake, NC. The purpose of the tour was to present the site to a group of IRT members and to get input on the management/mitigation options proposed for the site. During the tour, the group discussed the condition of the channels on the site and the design options and crediting scenarios they felt would be most appropriate to restore and enhance the channels. The accompanying map identifies the stream reach names. The tour began with the Folly ditch, then visited Jordan Branch, Powell Branch, Greene & Pollo Branch, and concluded with Morgan Branch. Comments provided during the site visit are listed below by reach. Folly Ditch/Swamp The project is called Folly Swamp because that is the name given to the main channel on most available maps. However, the locals refer to the channel as the Folly ditch. Wildlands learned this week that the Drainage District was established in the 1930s and the channel has been maintained as a ditch since then. Wildlands proposes to create a wide, excavated floodplain with a meandering, single -thread channel. John Hutton explained that the floodplain width on Folly Swamp will be approximately 100 feet with a gently sloped transition to existing grade. Anthony Scarborough pointed out that E&S permits require excavated dirt to be wasted on the project parcel from which it originated. The Drainage District understands that they will not be able to clear and maintain the channel as they have in the past and will need to sign agreements stating such. We will coordinate with the IRT on the form of this agreement. Wildlands will obtain a no -rise certification from FEMA and NC Flood Mapping to ensure that flooding will not be made worse by the project. IRT members questioned the functional uplift potential of Priority 2 restoration in this setting. They cited past problems with soil impacts from this approach that have resulted in poor tree growth. Nearby Duke Swamp is a good example, where approximately 10-year-old trees are 10 feet tall. Wildlands heard more about the specifics of this from the regulators and recognizes the challenges. We are open to further suggestions but plan to save the topsoil to incorporate it at the excavated depth. Also, based on soil test recommendations, Wildlands will add lime to raise the pH, use low pH seed mix as needed, and incorporate fertilizer. Adding ramial wood chips to the floodplain is another approach that Wildlands may employ. Ramial wood chips are made from small diameter stems and branches (<2.5") of hardwood tree species and are beneficial to soil restoration by promoting mycorrhizal and saprophytic fungal growth. The cambium to cellulose ratio of small -diameter branches is high so that the carbon to nitrogen ratio is low. This avoids the soil nitrogen robbing capacity that is known to occur when 'green wood' decays on the ground surface. Instead, it adds organic material and promotes fungal growth. This material could be obtained by thinning the hardwood saplings surrounding the immature pine stands along Jordan Branch. In sum, Wildlands understands it will be held to the tree survival and growth performance standards specified in the October 2016 Wilmington District Compensatory Mitigation Update. For biological functional uplift, Wildlands will conduct pre- and post -construction surveys of benthic macroinvertebrates and amphibians. We are not sure that benthic communities will improve within the 7-year monitoring period but are willing to investigate. It may take additional time to observe the pollution intolerant and diverse communities seen in mature forest settings. Amphibian communities, however, are expected to significantly improve within the conservation easement area, which now includes row crop fields and cattle pasture. Past projects have shown that wetlands will likely form on the excavated floodplains. To show that the excavated floodplains will show a higher water table and improved hydrology, Wildlands will include a monitoring well at each restoration area. We are not seeking wetland mitigation credit, however. Kyle Barnes commented that the access corridor (elevated road) along upper Folly Ditch may interfere with the project and conservation easement. Wildlands explained that a crossing will be established near the existing crossing and that the access easement will be entirely outside of the conservation easement. We have left space for this access on the north side of the proposed conservation easement (see Folly Swamp — Reach 1 in attached map). Mac Haupt commented on the disconnectedness of the project, with four separate mitigation areas and some short lengths. A review of the concept map shows that what hasn't been included are primarily wooded areas. Wildlands recognized this as a concern during option acquisition but thought the IRT would not approve channel restoration or enhancement for mitigation in those areas and therefore did not pursue conservation easements. Restoration or enhancement would impact wetlands and require significant tree removal. These reaches are not of preservation quality either due to manipulation and maintenance by the Drainage District. Wildlands also tried to address Mac's general concern about disconnected projects areas by maintaining a minimum 3,000 ft length per area. Except Powell Branch, this minimum was achieved. Jordan Branch As a direct tributary to the project reach of the Folly ditch, Wildlands wanted to include Jordan Branch in the mitigation project. However, upon further review, including seeing it with low flow in December, it will be mostly dropped from the project. Wildlands proposes to restore approximately 250 linear feet of the existing Jordan ditch. This will enable it to tie into an elevated Folly Swamp without causing a lengthy backwater effect. Powell Branch Chris Roessler explained that Powell Branch has a mapped drainage area of 115 acres but that it is actually larger because the ditch at the upstream end has been historically reversed to drain to the project channel. He also stated that the area has been relatively dry in recent months, having largely been missed by Hurricanes Florence and Michael. Each of September, October, and November had between 3.0 and 3.5 inches of rain. Dave Lekson looked at PRISM data on his phone and confirmed the project area has received below normal rainfall. Kyle Barnes stated that the upper end is not a jurisdictional channel because it lacks an ordinary highwater mark and had upland vegetation in the ditch. Also, the channel goes through high ground in the middle of the reach, in the vicinity of the excavated pond. Chris Roessler talked to the landowner after the IRT field meeting to confirm the background of this area. The pond was excavated between 1959 and 1961 to a depth of 16 feet. Dirt from the pond was piled around it and used over the years to fill low spots on the farm. Not all the dirt has been removed, however, leaving the possibility that the high ground that Powell Branch runs through was from the pond spoil. The figure below is from the 1929 Gates County Soil Survey, which is before the Drainage District was established in the 1930s. The map appears to show Powell Branch as an intermittent stream within the project area. This map is available at https://web.lib.unc.edu/nc-maps/interactive/MC 041 1929d c2.php ,lb siz% ' 6 V l! And here is the current USGS topo of Powell Branch, including the excavated pond: If USACE would like to take a closer look at Powell Branch to make a final call on its jurisdictional status, Wildlands would be in favor of that. However, if the answer is essentially already known, then Powell Branch can be removed from the project. Greene Branch Wildlands proposes to use a headwater restoration approach on upper Greene Branch if there is sufficient evidence that the channel will have 30 days of consecutive flow after connecting the low point of the valley with its upper watershed. Currently, the valley is disconnected with its upper watershed by a road and ditches on the adjacent farm. Wildlands proposes to install weirs and pressure transducers on the adjacent farm ditches, as well as on middle Greene Branch and Pollo Branch, to determine if it will have sufficient hydrology to support the proposed mitigation approaches. IRT members agreed with this approach and stated that the project reaches would need to meet the 30- day flow requirement to receive mitigation credit. A camera or other monitoring device was recommended instead of a pressure transducer for post restoration monitoring. Otherwise, the IRT members agreed with the proposed approaches on Pollo Branch and Greene Branch Reaches 1 and 2. Lower Greene Branch (Reach 1) was proposed for Priority 2 restoration in the Prospectus. Priority 1 restoration is possible and will be targeted at the upper end. Kyle Barnes noted apparent JD wetlands in the lower field and that Priority 2 restoration would impact those. Wildlands will investigate ways to avoid and minimize impacts to any jurisdictional wetlands that may include extending the Priority 1 approach, using an alignment that avoids wetlands, or some other measure. Morgan Branch The last site visit of the project was Morgan Branch. Morgan Branch was proposed for Priority 2 restoration in the Prospectus. Wildlands will achieve Priority 1 restoration or very shallow Priority 2 restoration by the large pine tree on the existing ditch. IRT members stated that other Priority 2 related concerns about the Folly ditch section above apply to Morgan Branch. Wildlands proposes to address these concerns in the same way (i.e., soil amendments, biological monitoring, tree performance standards, etc.). Summary and Conclusion The IRT questioned the functional uplift potential of the site given the general Priority 2 approach to many channels proposed by Wildlands. We hope we have addressed some of that concern with these meeting minutes. An updated credit table is provided below. As discussed above, we can remove Powell Branch from the project if the IRT chooses.

Action Items and Next Steps • The IRT will consider these meeting minutes and provide feedback to Wildlands. • Project Schedule — Wildlands is ready to proceed with project survey in the coming months. • USACE requires Jurisdictional (JD) stream/wetland calls for the project. Wildlands will coordinate with Kyle Barnes (or assigned) for on -site JD verification prior to mitigation plan submittal. • After the jurisdictional determination has been conducted, any wetland areas that will be impacted by the proposed work (filled or drained) will need to be identified and functional replacement for those losses will be proposed and discussed in the draft mitigation plan. • Signage will be needed on all conservation easement areas. This represents Wildlands' interpretation of the meeting discussions. If any meeting attendees should find any information contained in these meeting minutes to be in error and/or incomplete based on individual comments or conversations, please notify Chris Roessler with corrections/additions as soon as possible.

Folly Ditch/Swamp- while DWR applauds WEI for engaging a project within a Drainage District, until the roles and restrictions (and written affirmation) can be better realized by the Drainage District regarding this proposal, DWR will reserve final judgement on the proposal on Folly Ditch and all other proposed reaches in the prospectus. WEI heard the concerns regarding the priority 2 approach on these type of streams from the I RT. The Folly Ditch is currently the only stream reach over 3,000 linear feet. 2. Jordan Branch- WEI reduced the length given the flow conditions, DWR concurred. 3. Powell Branch- This reach seemed to have some flow issues and Kyle Barnes stated the lack of jurisdictional status in the upper reach. This reach has a red flag concerning flow and is a short reach. 4. Greene Branch- The minutes state WEI intends to use a headwater approach in the upper reach, however, in the proposed credits reach 1 shows a significant increase in project length. The headwater approach utilizes valley length, DWR believes the amount of credit proposed here would be reduced. In addition, this headwater reach will likely be dependent on the hydrology that will come from an adjoining field outside the easement area. Until there is a determination that 1) enough flow would be contributed to the headwater reach, and 2) there is an agreement from the adjoining landowner that allows the flow to enter the reach, the viability of the reach remains in question. A positive for the Greene and Pollo Branch is that there is a lot of opportunity for nutrient abatement given the adjoining animal operations. Moreover, at the bottom of Greene Branch, wetlands were noted and hopefully the design will incorporate measures to maintain/enhance these resources. 5. Morgan Branch- DWR concurs with the minutes 6. Table of Proposed Stream Mitigation Credits- without getting too much into the design aspects here, the proposed lengths seem high on several reaches, yielding a roughly calculated higher than expected sinuosity. For example, proposed length of Folly ditch works out to roughly 1.33 sinuosity. There are similar concerns on the other reaches. 7. Overall, DWR maintains its position that the project is disconnected and most reaches are under 3,000 linear feet. Given the other comments provided by the IRT members regarding priority 2 project concerns in the coastal plain, DWR believes that for this project to move forward, some of the issues regarding the Greene Branch would need to be resolved. Kyle, below are my comments on the Folly Swamp field visit and meeting summary: 1. The discussion on Drainage Districts is of concern, and until we have a signed agreement from them stating that channel maintenance will not occur on Folly Ditch, or any of the project channels, I am hesitant to continue to the Final Prospectus stage of this Bank. 2. For the project as a whole, I understand the constraint of doing Priority 1 restoration due to the risk of flooding adjacent properties; however, with the majority of the project being proposed as P2, there is very little functional uplift, aside from a riparian buffer, that will occur. In order to justify 1:1 credits for restoration, you should be restoring the system to its original state, which is not what is currently proposed. It's understood that there will be considerable earthmoving associated with the proposed P2, but the burden of proof will be on Wildlands to justify the functional uplift associated with a 1:1 ratio. 3. Powell Branch, along with all project streams and associated wetlands, will need a JD. If it's determined that a portion of Powell Branch is not jurisdictional, that entire reach should be dropped from the Final Prospectus. 4. Greene Branch and Pollo Branch: a headwater valley approach through the woods seems appropriate, if in fact you are able to divert water from the adjacent property to the east via the culvert at the fenceline, otherwise flow remains a concern here. Lower Greene Branch is of concern, especially at the lower end, and appears to be more wetland -like, especially if the channel is raised here for P 1. It's likely that the wetlands in this area will have increased hydrology from raising the stream channel, but flow continues to be a concern. 5. Morgan Branch would benefit from P1 for as much linear footage possible. Thanks for the opportunity to comment, Kim Kim Browning Mitigation Specialist, Regulatory Division I U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 3331 Heritage Trade Dr, Ste. 105 I Wake Forest, NC 27587 1919.554.4884 x60 BUILDING STRONG IRT Field Meeting Notes — Folly Swamp May 13, 2019 Meeting Attendees Kyle Barnes/USACE John Hutton/Wildlands Chris Roessler/Wildlands Kyle Barnes met with John Hutton and Chris Roessler on April 24, 2019 to review two of the areas that are part of the Folly Swamp mitigation site in Corapeake, NC. The purposes of the meeting were to look at the jurisdictional status of Powell Branch, discuss some of the issues brought up in IRT meeting about Greene Branch, and to review another channel that is adjacent to Greene Branch. Comments provided during the site visit are listed below by reach. Powell Branch Wildlands installed a weir and flow gage on this site in March and data collection began on March 15tn The weir was undermined by storm flow on March 25t" but in the intervening time consistent streamflow was measured. John Hutton provided Kyle Barnes with a plot of the streamflow. Kyle acknowledged that the stream looked a good bit different than on the IRT site visit in December. He observed a consistent ordinary high water mark. He then looked upstream at the two channels that drain to the project reach. The one to the west is an agricultural ditch that has been historically redirected to flow to Folly Swamp. The one to the east, coming out of the woods, appeared to be a jurisdictional stream on the downstream end. Kyle OK'd this area of the project from a jurisdictional standpoint. One concern Kyle brought up was the amount of flow input coming from the agricultural ditch to the west versus the natural stream feature and the fact that the farmer could ditch it to drain away from the project. Chris and John spoke with Mr. Powell, who owns Powell Branch within the project limits as well as all of the fields that drain to the agricultural ditch. Mr Powell is also the Chairman of the Drainage District that includes Folly Swamp. He stated that there is no way to make the grade work to drain the fields away from the project area. Wildlands will update the Prospectus to include this information. Greene Branch The group next looked at the gage placed on the ditch that is on the Barker property, just above the head of Greene Branch. The proposal in this area is for Wildlands to install a culvert to add drainage area to Greene Branch and use an outer Coastal Plain headwater approach on upper Greene Branch. The gage on the Barker ditch measured consistent flow from March 15 to April 10, at which point the weir became undermined. It is encouraging that flow was measured on all 26 days of recording. The bar for hydrology on upper Greene Branch is 30 consecutive days of flow each year. Kyle expressed concerns about installing a culvert and having the drainage to it last forever. While Chris talked with the farmer, John and Kyle discussed placing a conservation easement or deed restriction on a 1- to 2-acre area upstream from the culvert that essentially prevents the landowner from altering the drainage pattern. Wildlands will seek to obtain a conservation easement or deed restriction that prevents alteration to the drainage in the area surrounding the culvert. The group walked downstream and viewed the gage at Pollo Branch. This showed consistent flow. Next the group looked at the gage on Greene Branch. This showed consistent flow and Kyle commented that it had more water than he expected for this time of year. Barker Branch Next the group looked at the channel (Barker Branch) to the east of Greene Branch on the Barker property. Wildlands is in discussions with the landowner about adding it to the mitigation project. Kyle observed a consistent ordinary high water mark from the tree line downstream to the Folly ditch and stated that it was appropriate for Priority 1 restoration. He cautioned that it is important to look at drainage leading into the easement because any problems created by the project are likely to lead to alterations by the farmer. John and Kyle discussed that the wetlands would be mapped and presented in a PJD application and the design would seek to avoid impacts. Wildlands plans to use a NW 27 application to obtain a 404 permit. Kyle agreed with this approach. The group then looked at the upper portion of Barker Branch beginning at the wood line where a drainage ditch enters from the east. Kyle noted the ordinary high water mark along this section was not consistent and he did not believe it was jurisdictional from a Corps' perspective. John suggested that Wildlands install a gage to monitor hydrology and also request that Anthony Scarbraugh do a stream determination from a DWR perspective. Kyle agreed with this. Based on the results of additional monitoring, if single thread Priority 1 restoration was not acceptable, Chris suggested an outer coastal plain headwater approach. Kyle cautioned against over engineering but thought it may be workable and confirmed that an ordinary high water mark is not required for the headwater approach. Wildlands will further investigate options for upper Barker Branch. Action Items and Next Steps Wildlands will update the Prospectus based on feedback from the December IRT meeting and Kyle Barnes in this past meeting. Kyle will look to public notice the Prospectus soon after. Wildlands plans to begin survey soon and will present a PJD application in the coming months prior to commencing substantial design efforts. Wildlands will look to provide conceptual agreements with the Drainage District and Mike Barker (re. culvert installation and drainage conservation easement/deed restriction) that the IRT requested in the December meeting minutes. This represents Wildlands' interpretation of the meeting discussions. The minutes will be presented to Kyle Barnes for confirmation. Kyle accepted the minutes with one change, which is captured in this version.

The field took place on December 18, 2018. This letter provides our responses to those comments. Comments on Folly Swamp Field Meeting Minutes Mac Haupt, NCDWR, January 7, 2019 1. Folly Ditch/Swamp —while DWR applauds WEI for engaging a project within a Drainage District, until the roles and restrictions (and written affirmation) can be better realized by the Drainage District regarding this proposal, DWR will reserve final judgement on the proposal on Folly Ditch and on other proposed reaches in the prospectus. WEI heard the concerns regarding the Priority 2 approach on these type of streams from the IRT. The Folly Ditch is currently the only stream over 3,000 linear feet. Wildlands provides a conceptual understanding with the Folly Swamp Drainage District in the updated Prospectus. A more formal and detailed agreement will be established once the design nears completion. The existing length of Morgan Branch is approximately 3,000 feet and the proposed length of Greene Branch area, with Barker Branch which will be connected through a conservation easement, is more than 3,000 feet. Only Powell Branch is clearly less than 3,000 feet. 2. Jordan Branch —WEI reduced the length given flow conditions, DWR concurred. 3. Powell Branch —This reach seemed to have some flow issues and Kyle Barnes stated the lack of jurisdictional status in the upper reach. This reach has a red flag concerning flow and is a short reach. Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (P) 919.851.9986 • 312 West Millbrook Road, Suite 225 • Raleigh, NC 27609 From the updated Prospectus, Section 3.1.1.: Some question of Powell Branch's jurisdictional status were raised by IRT members during a December 18, 2018 site visit. However, after seeing the site again on April 24, 2019, Kyle Barnes considered it to be jurisdictional with a consistent ordinary high water mark. Additionally, of the two channels upstream of Savage Road leading to the project reach at least the original one coming from the southern wooded area appears to be jurisdictional. Wildlands installed a weir and flow gage on Powell Branch in March and data collection began on March 151h.The weir was undermined by storm flow on March 251h but in the intervening time consistent streamflow was measured. Minutes from both site visits are included in Appendix F. 4.

Moreover, at the bottom of Greene Branch, wetlands were noted and hopefully the design will incorporate measures to maintain/enhance these resources. Apologies because the reaches were labeled backwards in the meeting minutes. Reach 3 in the minutes table is the one that will follow the headwater approach and it uses valley length. (It has been relabeled as Reach 1 in the updated Prospectus). Wildlands established a flow monitoring device in the ditch on the neighboring Barker property and learned that a small amount of stream flow was present from mid March to mid April. Wildlands will establish a conceptual agreement with the Barkers to install a culvert to connect the agricultural ditches to upper Greene Branch. The Barkers have verbally agreed to this. Jurisdictional wetlands will be mapped at all sites and considered in the design process. Measures will be taken to maintain or enhance these resources. 5. Morgan Branch — DWR concurs with the minutes. Sounds good. 6. Table of Proposed Stream Mitigation Credits —without getting too much into design aspects here, the proposed lengths seem high on several reaches, yielding a roughly calculated higher than expected sinuosity. For example, proposed length on Folly ditch works out to roughly 1.33 sinuosity. There are similar concerns on other reaches. The anticipated sinuosity on all the single -thread restoration reaches was reduced to approximately 1.22. Wildlands will investigate sinuosity on reference reaches, valley width, and sediment transport before making a final determination on proposed sinuosity. 7. Overall, DWR maintains its position that the project is disconnected and most reaches are under 3,000 linearfeet. Given the other comments provided by the /RT members regarding Priority 2 project concerns in the coastal plain, DWR believes that for this project to move forward, some of the issues regarding the Greene Branch would need to be resolved. This is a large project with more than 14,000 stream credits likely involved. Please see response to first DWR comment. Wildlands is committed to working with the IRT to make sure existing jurisdictional wetlands are maintained or enhanced, as well as to create new wetland features. Wildlands has worked to demonstrate that 30 days of flow are likely on Greene Branch. A culvert will be added to connect additional drainage area above Greene Branch. Additionally, Wildlands will work with the landowner to obtain a conservation easement that prevents drainage alteration. We have also added Barker Branch, which will connect to lower Greene Branch via a conservation easement. Kim Browning, USACE, January 24, 2019 1. The discussion on Drainage Districts is of concern, and until we have a signed agreement from them stating that channel maintenance will not occur on Folly Ditch, or any of the project channels, I am hesitant to continue to the Final Prospectus stage of this Bank. This is the same response to DWR's first comment. Repeated: Wildlands provides a conceptual understanding with the Folly Swamp Drainage District in the updated Prospectus. A more formal and detailed agreement will be established once the design nears completion. 2. For the project as a whole, I understand the constraint of doing Priority 1 restoration due to the risk of flooding adjacent properties; however, with the majority of the project being proposed as P2, there is very little functional uplift, aside from a riparian buffer, that will occur. In order to justify 1:1 credits for restoration, you should be restoring the system to its original state, which is not what is currently proposed. It's understood that there will be considerable earthmoving associated with the proposed P2, but the burden of proof will be on Wildlands to justify the functional uplift associated with a 1:1 ratio. Priority 2 is done for 1:1 credit in other parts of the state. Wildlands would like to know that if we address Priority 2 as outlined in the updated Prospectus, whether that would alleviate the IRT's concerns about functional uplift. Is there anything that could be added? Perhaps Wildlands could show the area with a higher water table before and after restoration. 3. Powell Branch, along with all project streams and associated wetlands, will need a JD. If it's determined that a portion of Powell Branch is not jurisdictional, that entire reach should be dropped from the Final Prospectus. Wildlands met with Kyle Barnes on April 24, 2019. At this site visit, Kyle affirmed that Powell Branch is a jurisdictional channel. Minutes from this meeting are included in the updated Prospectus. 4. Greene Branch and Pollo Branch: a headwater valley approach through the woods seems appropriate, if in fact you are able to divert water from the adjacent property to the east via the culvert at the fenceline, otherwise flow remains a concern here. Lower Greene Branch is of concern, especially at the lower end, and appears to be more wetland -like, especially if the channel is raised here for P 1. It's likely that the wetlands in this area will have increased hydrology from raising the stream channel, but flow continues to be a concern. Wildlands proposes a headwater approach for upper Greene Branch and upper Barker Branch. Flow monitoring, described in the updated Prospectus, indicates 30 consecutive days of flow will be attainable on Greene Branch. Jurisdictional wetlands will be mapped at all sites and considered in the design process. Measures will be taken to maintain or enhance these resources. 5. Morgan Branch would benefit from P1 for as much linear footage possible. We agree and will strive for that. We hope that these responses adequately address the IRT's comments and we look forward to working with the IRT during the next phases of this project.

The Bank consists of five sites totaling 47 acres all flowing to Folly Swamp. The sites are located approximately four miles north of the town of Sunbury on NC 32 in Gates County, North Carolina. The sites are located on named and unnamed tributaries within the Pasquotank River Basin (HUC 03010205).This correspondence refers to comments received in response to Interagency Review Team (IRT) reviews and a Public Notice dated August 22, 2019. After review of the public notice, project prospectus, and/or our on -site meetings, the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR), the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) provided comments which are enclosed for your review. It is Department of the Army policy to provide a project proponent the opportunity to furnish a proposed resolution or rebuttal to all comments and/or objections from the public and government agencies before a final decision is made. In this regard, I would appreciate receiving any comments that you have on the comments received. Also, pursuant to 33 CFR Part 332.8 (d)(5), Initial Evaluation, I have determined that your proposed mitigation bank has potential for providing appropriate compensatory mitigation for activities authorized by Department of the Army permits. We share some of the same concerns outlined by the IRT which should be resolved as the bank is finalized through the interagency review process. Accordingly, you may proceed with preparation of the draft mitigation banking instrument (MBI) as directed by 33 CFR Part 332.8 (d)(6), Draft Instrument and finalization of your mitigation plan. Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact me at the Washington Regulatory Field Office, telephone (910) 251-4584.

Folly Ditch/Swamp- while DWR applauds WEI for engaging a project within a Drainage District, until the roles and restrictions (and written affirmation) can be better realized by the Drainage District regarding this proposal, DWR will reserve final judgement on the proposal on Folly Ditch and all other proposed reaches in the prospectus. WEI heard the concerns regarding the priority 2 approach on these type of streams from the I RT. The Folly Ditch is currently the only stream reach over 3,000 linear feet. 2. Jordan Branch- WEI reduced the length given the flow conditions, DWR concurred. 3. Powell Branch- This reach seemed to have some flow issues and Kyle Barnes stated the lack of jurisdictional status in the upper reach. This reach has a red flag concerning flow and is a short reach. 4. Greene Branch- The minutes state WEI intends to use a headwater approach in the upper reach, however, in the proposed credits reach 1 shows a significant increase in project length. The headwater approach utilizes valley length, DWR believes the amount of credit proposed here would be reduced. In addition, this headwater reach will likely be dependent on the hydrology that will come from an adjoining field outside the easement area. Until there is a determination that 1) enough flow would be contributed to the headwater reach, and 2) there is an agreement from the adjoining landowner that allows the flow to enter the reach, the viability of the reach remains in question. A positive for the Greene and Pollo Branch is that there is a lot of opportunity for nutrient abatement given the adjoining animal operations. Moreover, at the bottom of Greene Branch, wetlands were noted and hopefully the design will incorporate measures to maintain/enhance these resources. 5. Morgan Branch- DWR concurs with the minutes 6. Table of Proposed Stream Mitigation Credits- without getting too much into the design aspects here, the proposed lengths seem high on several reaches, yielding a roughly calculated higher than expected sinuosity. For example, proposed length of Folly ditch works out to roughly 1.33 sinuosity. There are similar concerns on the other reaches. 7. Overall, DWR maintains its position that the project is disconnected and most reaches are under 3,000 linear feet. Given the other comments provided by the IRT members regarding priority 2 project concerns in the coastal plain, DWR believes that for this project to move forward, some of the issues regarding the Greene Branch would need to be resolved. Kim's Comments: 1. The discussion on Drainage Districts is of concern, and until we have a signed agreement from them stating that channel maintenance will not occur on Folly Ditch, or any of the project channels, I am hesitant to continue to the Final Prospectus stage of this Bank. 2.

Greene Branch and Pollo Branch: a headwater valley approach through the woods seems appropriate, if in fact you are able to divert water from the adjacent property to the east via the culvert at the fence line, otherwise flow remains a concern here. Lower Greene Branch is of concern, especially at the lower end, and appears to be more wetland -like, especially if the channel is raised here for P1. It's likely that the wetlands in this area will have increased hydrology from raising the stream channel, but flow continues to be a concern. 5. Morgan Branch would benefit from P1 for as much linear footage possible. Kyle's Comments: 1) The Pasquotank HUC is 03010205. The prospectus indicates the Pasquotank HUC as 03020105 in multiple locations. 2) Wetlands have been identified outside of the project area along Folly Swamp Reach 1. 1 have concern that there may be a drainage effect on these adjacent wetlands. 3) The project as discussed will result in a significant amount of spoil and the needed area to stockpile. Areas adjacent to Powell Branch and within the floodplain of the non -project area of Folly Swamp have been identified as spoil stockpile areas. Removing vegetation and stockpiling spoil within these areas are counter to the purpose of stream and wetland mitigation. These areas should be avoided for spoil stockpiling because it removes or reduces existing buffer/riparian area. 4) Same concern for Morgan Branch. Stockpiling spoil in the identified area only limits the function of the buffer/riparian area outside of the project area. 5) Barker Branch: I have concern that the project will have issues with the owner/farmer when the land outside of the easement becomes wetter. There needs to be a larger easement area to prevent additional ditching and draining when the agricultural fields become too wet to farm. 6) Green Branch: The headwater approach in upper Green Branch is a concern due to the fact that it is fully dependent on flow from the adjacent property that enters through a culvert. After seeing the site in a high rainfall season and a semi drought season I have concern that the headwater reach will only be a wetland in "normal" conditions. 7) Flow is a concern on Powell, Morgan, Green, and Barker Branch's. btu.

This letter provides our responses to those comments. Comments on Folly Swamp Prospectus Kyle Barnes, USACE, December 6, 2019 1. The Pasquotank HUC is 02010205. The prospectus indicates the Pasquotank HUC as 03020105 in multiple locations. Thank you for noting that. We'll look to get it right in the mitigation plan. 2. Wetlands have been identified outside of the project area along Folly Swamp Reach 1. I have concern that there may be a drainage effect on these adjacent wetlands. Wildlands will install a groundwater gage(s) to monitor wetlands hydrology in this area before and after construction to determine whether the stream design created a drainage effect. This area will be identified in the preconstruction notification for an NWP 27. Additionally, Wildlands will seek to minimize impacts to this area and conduct a wetlands delineation in the area by MY5 to show that additional wetlands are created. Wildlands will offset any impacts to the identified wetlands with onsite creation of floodplain wetlands. 3. The project as discussed will result in a significant amount of spoil and the needed area to stockpile. Areas adjacent to Powell Branch and within the floodplain of the non -project area of Folly Swamp have been identified as spoil stockpile areas. Removing vegetation and stockpiling spoil within these areas are counter to the purpose of stream and wetland mitigation. These areas should be avoided for spoil stockpiling because it removes or reduces existing buffer/riparian area. Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (P) 919.851.9986 • 312 West Millbrook Road, Suite 225 • Raleigh, NC 27609 The identification of spoil disposal locations included large blocks to evaluate jurisdictional wetlands. Our intention is not to put spoil immediately adjacent to the conservation easement, but we wanted to know where wetlands are present in the general areas. Wildlands will place spoil in non -project areas (i.e., outside of CEs) such that the no negative effect on drainage is created. If spoil placement causes runoff to enter the CE as concentrated flow, Wildlands will include design measures to detain and diffuse the runoff. Finally, Wildlands will be obtaining a no -rise certification for FEMA flood mapping so the spoil must be placed outside of the 100-year floodplain limits. Some concern for Morgan Branch. Stockpiling soil in the identified area only limits the function of the buffer/riparian area outside of the project area. See response above. A travel way is located between Folly Ditch and the proposed spoil area. We will be targeting an area along NC 32 for spoil disposal and will keep it some distance from Folly Ditch and the conservation easement. Any effect on drainage into the CE will be ameliorated with design measures that promote runoff detention and diffusion. 5. Barker Branch: I have concern that the project will have issues with the owner/farmer when the land outside of the easement becomes wetter. There needs to be a larger easement area to prevent additional ditching and draining when the agricultural fields become too wet to farm. We considered this when drafting the proposed conservation easement. The easement extends more than 500 feet upstream from the start of stream credit. It also covers two ditches that drain to Barker Branch. The valley rises quickly beyond the existing right bank so more of the easement will be beyond the left bank. We will examine the proposed contours to determine if the mitigation project would adversely affect agriculture. Due to wet conditions, the landowner and farmer have low expectations, now and in the future, for crop yield from the field adjacent to and southwest of the proposed CE. In addition, installing the culvert to Greene Branch will remove flow from the ditch on the west side of this field. Finally, we may widen the proposed CE if it appears doing so would include agricultural land that will become unacceptably wet as a result of the project. 6. Green Branch: The headwater approach in upper Green Branch is a concern due to the fact that it is fully dependent on flow from adjacent property that enters through a culvert. After seeing the site in a high rainfall season and a semi drought season I have concern that the headwater reach will only be a wetland in "normal" conditions. We acknowledge your and Mac's concern. We will base our approach on the Outer Coastal Plain Guidance and set performance standards accordingly. We will also monitor stream flow as well as wetland hydrology and herbaceous plant communities. Wildlands has visited several examples of the Coastal Plain headwater approach, including the DMS Watts Site in Perquimans County, and the Nutrien Hell Swamp and Sage Gut Sites in Beaufort County. These sites appear to be slowly showing a trend toward having stream characteristics. On the IRT site visit to Greene Branch in December 2018, Mac Haupt stated that, at this time, the requirement for stream hydrology is 30 consecutive days of streamflow. This is confirmed by the October 2016 IRT mitigation guidance. Mac suggested measuring streamflow with a camera is probably the best method for a coastal plain headwater approach. 7. Flow is a concern on Powell, Morgan, Green, and Barker's Branch. See the acknowledgement above. Flow is not expected to be an issue on Powell or Morgan Branch due to the drainage area size. Barker Branch is known to have streamflow at nearly all times according to the farmer. We hope that these responses adequately address the IRT's comments. If not, feedback is requested as we proceed into the mitigation plan phase.

Millbrook Rd, Suite 225 Raleigh, NC 27609 GATES COUNTY DRAINAGE DISTRICT #1 05/02/2019 This document summarizes discussions between Gates County Drainage District #1, also known as Folly Ditch Watershed, and Wildlands Engineering. Wildlands Engineering proposes to convert a portion of the drainage district's maintained channels to wetlands areas. The areas to be involved include a portion of the L.B Jordan property and the Jean C. Powell property, both of which are located on Savage Rd., in Corapeake, NC.; said locations are in the Holly Grove Township of Gates County, NC. Discussion between Ronald Powell, Chairman, of Gates County Drainage District #1 and Wildlands Engineering project manager Chris Roessler have been ongoing to address concerns about maintaining the ability of the channels to continue to allow proper water flow for flood control_ The drainage district was established in the late 1950's, early 1960's through a federal project to reclaim farm lands and establish flood control for the surrounding area. The parties acknowledge the following: Wildlands will design the project such that it obtains a no -rise certification from FEMA. This will indicate to the Gates County Drainage District #1 that the project, as modeled, should not cause a rise in flood elevation greater than 0.1 feet. Wildlands will conduct an as -built survey after construction that shows the project was built according to the construction plans. This will confirm that the no -rise condition will be valid. The Gates County Drainage District #1 will not use heavy equipment or motorized vehicles within the project area without first consulting with Wildlands during the mitigation project life and the long-term manager after that time. The mitigation project is expected to close out seven years after construction. Unique Places to Save, LLC is expected to be the long- term .manager_ Wildlands will clear flow obstructions while it is involved with the project. Afterwards, it will be up to the Drainage District to do that if deemed necessary. This should be done with chain saws and hand labor to the extent possible. This can be done without contacting the long-term manager provided heavy equipment or motorized vehicles are not used. A design goal of the projects is to include positive slope on the stream valleys. This will enable floods to continue moving downstream even if the stream channel(s) is obstructed. WILD 7�l EN INEE ,!INC., a North Carolina corporation By: Joh W. Hutton, VJ14 President Date: 1 cl Gates County Drain a Dist ict #1 By: Ronald Powell, Commissioner & Chairman Date: �� 19 / 9 Appendix 6 Maintenance Plan 1.0 Maintenance Plan The Site shall be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection of the site shall be conducted a minimum of once per year throughout the post -construction monitoring period until performance standards are met. These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two (2) years following site construction and may include the following: Tablel: Maintenance Plan Component/Feature Maintenance through project close-out Routine channel maintenance and repair activities may include chinking of in -stream structures to prevent piping, securing of loose coir matting, and supplemental Stream installations of live stakes and other target vegetation along the channel. Areas where storm water and floodplain flows intercept the channel may also require maintenance to prevent bank erosion. Beaver dams that inundate the stream channels shall be removed and the beaver shall be trapped. Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include Vegetation supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be controlled by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, Site boundary 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. Folly Swamp Stream Mitigation Site Appendix 6 USACE Action ID No. SAW-2018-0206 Page 1 Appendix 7 Credit Release Schedule 1.0 Credit Release Schedule All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported by the as -built survey of the Site. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary DA authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the Interagency Review Team (IRT), will determine if performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of project credits will be subject to the criteria described as follows: Stream Credit Release Schedule Stream Credit Release Schedule Credit Release Milestone Credit Release Activity Interim Release Total Released 1 Site Establishment 15%/ 1,921.4 credits 15%/ 1,921.4 credits Completion of all initial physical and 2 biological improvements made pursuant 15%/ 1,921.4 credits 30%/ 3,842.8 credits to the Mitigation Plan First year monitoring report 3 demonstrates performance standards 10%/ 1,280.9 credits 40%/ 5,123.7 credits are being met Second year monitoring report 4 demonstrates performance standards 10%/ 1,280.9 credits 50%/ 6,404.7 credits are being met Third year monitoring report 5 demonstrates performance standards 10% / 1,280.9 credits 60%/ 7,685.6 credits are being met Fourth year monitoring report 65%/ 8,326.1 credits 6* demonstrates performance standards 5% / 640.5 credits are being met (75%* / 9,607.0 credits) Fifth year monitoring report 7 demonstrates performance standards o 10/ / 1,280.9 credits 75%/ 9,607.0 credits are being met and project has received o (85/ / 10,877.9 credits) closeout approval Sixth year monitoring report 80% / 10,247.5 credits 8 demonstrates performance standards 5% / 640.5 credits are being met (90%* / 11,528.4 credits) Seventh year monitoring report 90% / 11,528.4 credits 9 demonstrates performance standards 10%/ 1,280.9 credits o (100/ / 12,809.3 credits) Folly Swamp Stream Mitigation Site Appendix 7 USACE Action ID No. SAW-2018-02026 Page 1 are being met and project has received closeout approval . 10% of credits will be reserved for the site that can be subsequently released after four bankfull events have occurred in separate monitoring years, provided that the channel is stable and all other performance standards are being met. 1.1 Initial Allocation of Released Credits The initial allocation of released credits is defined as Bank Establishment in the 2016 Wilmington District credit release schedule guidance document. The initial allocation can be released without prior written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities: a. Execution of the UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE b. Approval of the Final Mitigation Plan c. Recordation of the conservation easement, as well as delivery of a title opinion that is acceptable to the USACE. d. Delivery of the financial assurances described in the Mitigation Plan. e. 404 permit verification for construction of the site, if required. 1.2 Subsequent Credit Releases All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects, a reserve of 10% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after four bankfull events have occurred in separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event that less than four bankfull events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As projects approach milestones associated with the credit release, Wildlands will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the annual monitoring report.

The IRT shall be chaired by the DE of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District (District). The IRT shall review documentation for the establishment of mitigation bank sites. The IRT will also advise the DE in assessing monitoring reports, recommending remedial measures, approving credit releases, and approving modifications to this instrument. The IRT's role and responsibilities are more fully set forth in Sections 332.8 of the Mitigation Rule. The IRT will work to reach consensus on its actions. E. The DE, after consultation with the appropriate Federal and State review agencies through the permit review process, shall make final decisions concerning the amount and type of compensatory mitigation to be required for unavoidable, permitted wetland and/or stream impacts, and whether or not the use of credits from the Bankis appropriate to offset those impacts. In the case of permit applications and compensatory mitigation required solely under the Section 401 Water Quality Certification rules of North Carolina, the NCDWR will determine the amount of credits that can be withdrawn from the Bank. Any credits used to offset impacts solely authorized by Section 401 cannot be used for other impacts authorized under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. F. The parties to this agreement understand that a watershed approach to establish compensatory mitigation must be used to the extent appropriate and practicable. Where practicable, in -kind compensatory mitigation is preferred. Section II: Geoaraahic Service Area The Geographic Service Area (GSA) is the designated area within which the Umbrella Bank is authorized to provide compensatory mitigation required by DA permits. The GSA for this Bank shall include the Pasquotank Hydrologic Unit 03010205 in North Carolina. Credits are to be used in the same HUC in which they were generated, and credits within each HUC should be tracked on separate ledgers. 2 Version March 2020 Section III: Mitigation Plan Any Mitigation Plan submitted pursuant to this agreement must contain the information listed in 332.4(c) (2) through (14) of the Compensatory Mitigation Rule. A. The Sponsor will perform work described in the/each site -specific approved Mitigation Plan(s). B. The Sponsor shall monitor the Bank Site(s) as described in the approved Mitigation Plan(s), until such time as the IRT determines that the performance standards described in the Mitigation Plan(s) have been met. C. Mitigation Plans submitted for inclusion in this bank must meet the requirements of any District guidance that is current at the time the new site is submitted to the District, including any updates made to monitoring requirements, credit releases, long term management, or any other provisions that are required and/or specifically addressed in the Mitigation Plan. The addition of any site to this instrument shall be considered as a modification to this instrument and processed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Mitigation Rule. D. The members of the IRT will be allowed reasonable access to the Property for the purposes of inspection of the Property and compliance monitoring of the Mitigation Plan. Section IV: Reaortina A.

As part of each annual monitoring report, the Sponsor shall also provide ledger reports documenting credit transactions as described in Section VIII of this UMBI. C. Each time an approved credit transaction occurs, the Sponsor shall provide notification to the DE within 30 days of the transaction. This notification shall consist of a summary of the transaction and a full ledger report reflecting the changes from the transaction. Additionally, signed copies of the Compensatory Mitigation Transfer of Responsibility Form shall be submitted to the Corps Project Manager for the permit and the Corps Bank Manager for the bank site. 3 Version March 2020 Section V: Remedial Action A. The DE shall review the monitoring reports, as required in the Mitigation Plan(s), and may, at any time, after consultation with the Sponsor and the IRT, direct the Sponsor to take remedial action at the Bank site(s).

Description of credit classifications and provisions pertaining to the use of those credits shall be provided in the Mitigation Plan(s) to be included in this bank. Credit classifications (e.g., cold water stream, cool water stream, warm water stream, coastal wetlands, non -riparian wetlands, riparian non-riverine wetlands, and riparian riverine wetlands) will be in accordance with current District guidance at the time the Mitigation Plan is submitted to the District. In general, these classifications will be used to determine if a particular credit qualifies as 1n- Kind" mitigation. Exceptions to the use of "In -Kind" mitigation may be allowed at the discretion of the permitting agencies on a case -by -case basis. B. Wetland and stream compensation ratios are determined by the DE on a case -by - case basis based on considerations of functions of the wetlands and/or streams impacted, the severity of the wetland and/or stream impacts, the relative age of the mitigation site, whether the compensatory mitigation is in -kind, and the physical proximity of the wetland and/or stream impacts to the Bank Site. C. Notwithstanding the above, all decisions concerning the appropriateness of using credits from the Bank to offset impacts to waters and wetlands, as well as all decisions concerning the amount and type of such credits to be used to offset wetland and stream impacts authorized by Department of the Army permits, shall be made by the DE, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and implementing regulations and guidance.

The Sponsor must initiate implementation of the approved Mitigation Plan(s) no later than the first full growing season after the date of the first credit transaction (i.e., construction of the initial physical and biological improvements proposed in the approved Mitigation Plan(s) must be started by the end of the first full growing season following the initial sale of any credits from the Bank. This provision does not apply to preservation -only sites that do not include any physical or biological improvements. Subject to the Sponsor's continued satisfactory completion of all required performance standards and monitoring, additional restoration mitigation credits will be available for sale by the Sponsor as specified in the final Mitigation Plan.

A. Financial assurances for the Bank site(s) will be detailed in the site -specific Mitigation Plan(s). The Sponsor shall provide financial assurances in a form acceptable to the DE, sufficient to assure completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and monitoring, and any remedial work required pursuant to this UMBI. The financial assurance value should be based on the cost of doing the mitigation work, including costs for land acquisition, planning and engineering, legal fees, mobilization, construction, and monitoring. For preservation only Bank Sites, no financial assurances will generally be required unless there are specific activities necessary to ensure the successful preservation of resources on the site, in which case appropriate financial assurances may still be required. B. All financial assurances shall be made payable to a standby trust or to a third - party designee, acceptable to the Corps, who agrees to complete the project or provide alternative mitigation.

The purpose of the CEwill be to assure that future use of the Bank Site will result in the restoration, protection, maintenance and enhancement of wetland and/or stream functions described in the Mitigation Plan. The name and contact information for the Corps approved easement holder and a draft copy of the CE will be provided in the site - specific Mitigation Plan(s). B. The Sponsor shall deliver a title opinion acceptable to the DE covering the mitigation property. The property shall be free and clear of any encumbrances that would conflict with its use as mitigation, including, but not limited to, any liens that have priority over the recorded CE. C.

The long-term management plan will include a list of annual maintenance, monitoring, and/or repair activities for the/each mitigation site, the associated annual cost for each activity, and the required total amount necessary to provide all future site management. The long-term management plan should explain how the funds will be managed and provided to the designated long-term manager (e.g., an endowment managed through a separate account holder). The long- term management plan should include a contingency section that addresses how the responsibility and funding for the long-term site management will be passed on to a new manager in the event that the selected long-term management entity is no 7 Version March 2020 longer able to provide for management of the site. A. It is agreed to establish and maintain the Bank site(s) until (i) credits have been exhausted or banking activity is voluntarily terminated with written notice by the Sponsor provided to the DE and other members of the IRT; and (ii) it has been determined and agreed upon by the DE and IRT that the debited Bank site has satisfied all the conditions herein and in the Mitigation Plan. If the DE determines that the Bank site is not meeting performance standards or complying with the terms of the instrument, appropriate action will be taken. Such actions mayinclude, but are not limited to, suspending credit sales, adaptive management, decreasing available credits, utilizing financial assurances, and terminating the instrument. B. As projects developed as part of this bank are specifically intended to restore streams and/or wetland systems that are subject to periodic flooding and drought conditions, they should be designed to withstand any such events that are anticipated to occur in the natural environment. This is not limited to routine or minor flooding or droughts, but also specifically includes flooding events resulting from hurricanes, or other extreme weather events as well as extended periods of drought. Additionally, this includes conditions resulting from sea level rise that adversely impact projects that are part of this bank. C.

If the performance of the Bank Sponsor is affected by any such event, Bank Sponsor shall give written notice thereof to the IRT as soon as is reasonably practicable. If such event occurs before the final availability of all credits for sale, the Sponsor shall take remedial action to restore the property to its condition prior to such event, in a manner sufficient to provide adequate mitigation to cover credits that were sold prior to such delay or failure to compensate for impacts to waters, including wetlands, authorized by Department of the Army permits. Such remedial action shall be taken by the Sponsor only to the extent necessary and appropriate, as determined by the IRT. D. At the end of the monitoring period, upon satisfaction of the performance standards, the Sponsor may submit a request to the DE for site close out. The DE, in consultation with the IRT, shall use best efforts to review and comment on the request within 60 days of such submittal.
