Section 1.0 (pg. 1) — In the first paragraph please clarify if the enhancement area is just cattle removal, or if there will be planting. If only cattle removal, please refer to as "enhancement via cattle exclusion." RE: Comply. The language in the first paragraph has been revised to read "The Site encompasses approximately 12.2 acres of active cattle pasture and involves restoration and enhancement via cattle exclusion of 504,566 square feet of riparian buffers along UT Muddy Creek (UT MC, Index #17-9-(1)) and UT 1, UT 2, and UT 5". 2. Table 1 (pg. 1) — Please show Proposed BMUs out to three (3) decimal places. RE: Comply. The BMUs are now shown to three decimal places. 3. Section 2.1 (pg. 4) — 1 a and 1 b reference "Reducing point (i.e. cattle accessing the channel) and non -point source..." Please remove the references to point sources in this section as cattle accessing channels does not constitute a point source. If any point source stormwater conveyance is present and being plugged/removed, then mention that, and show on the Figures and/or Appendix E. RE: Comply. Point sources of pollution are not present on -site, therefore references to point sources have been removed from this section. 4. Table 2 (pg. 7) — The drainage area for UT to Muddy Creek should be 245 acres (currently shows 244). RE: Comply. The drainage area for UT to Muddy Creek now reads 245 acres in Table 2. 5. Section 4.1 (pg. 11) — Please remove the three (3) sentences in the first paragraph referencing credit ratios. Some of the ratios are incorrect, and this discussion is unnecessary here as the ratios are shown in Table 4. RE: Comply. The sentences referencing credit ratios have been removed from Section 4.1. 1 www.lmgroup.net • Phone: 910.452.0001 • Fax: 910.452.0060 3101 Poplarwood Court — Suite 120, Raleigh, NC 27604 4LMG LAND MANAGEMENT GROUP a DAVEY. company 6. Table 4 (pg. 12) a. DMS and DWR developed a buffer calculation tool/credit table. Please update Table 4 with the latest Credit Table which is available through the DMS Template and Guidance spreadsheet or the DWR Nutrient Offset & Buffer Mitigation Program web page. RE: Comply. The most up to date credit table has been included as Table 4. Please update your project areas to match the square feet in your GIS shapefiles. For buffer projects, DMS now requests that providers use the shapefiles for asset table areas. RE: Comply. Project areas in the asset table now match the areas associated with the GIS shapefile. 7. Asset Map (pg. 13) — Please change the color coding for the UT5 mitigation types to be consistent with the rest of the map. Also, please show proposed fencing on this map and/or in Appendix E. RE: Comply. UT5 coloring is now consistent with the rest of the map. Proposed fencing has been included in the Mitigation Plansheets in Appendix E. 8. Table 7 (pg. 16) — Please adjust your planting plan so Green Ash represents 5% or less of planted stems. DWR has been limiting the amount of Green Ash planted on sites due to concerns about the emerald ash borer. RE: Comply. Green Ash now represents 5% of the proposed stems within all the planting plans. 9. Table 8 (pg. 17) — Recommend for the invasive and nuisance vegetation parameter to state "Locations of exotic and nuisance vegetation will be mapped and treated as necessary." Similarly, for the Project Boundary parameter, please state that fence damage, vegetation damage, encroachments, etc. will be addressed in some way in addition to being mapped. RE: Comply. The language in Table 8 now reads as follows: • Invasive and nuisance vegetation - "Locations of exotic and nuisance vegetation will be mapped and treated as necessary" • Project Boundary - "Mapping of fence damage, vegetation damage, boundary encroachments, etc. will be mapped and addressed as necessary." 10. Appendix E, Sheet 2D — See comment 8 and update the planting list as necessary. RE: Comply. The planting plan table has been updated so Green Ash only represents 5% of the proposed stems. 11. As required by contract and Section 4.7 of RFP 16-007703, HDR must submit, and receive approval of, a performance bond for 15% of the total value of the contract before DMS will authorize payment for Task 3. RE: Understood. The performance bond will be obtained before the final Mitigation Plan is approved. 12. This is also a reminder that Task 2 has not been completed and will not be complete until the Conservation Easement is recorded for this project and all required deliverables have been submitted to the DMS Project Manager and State Property Office. RE: Understood. 2 www.lmgroup.net • Phone: 910.452.0001 • Fax: 910.452.0060 3101 Poplarwood Court — Suite 120, Raleigh, NC 27604 4LMG LAND MANAGEMENT GROUP a DAVEY. company FlAr,trnnir, FilAc 1. Please provide DMS with updated features for the 0_100_Restoratio n_UT5 and 0_100_Enhancement shapefiles. These shapefiles would not render in ArcMap. RE: The mitigation area shapefiles have now been combined into one shapefile. The UT5 restoration and enhancement areas are now incorporated. A Reach column has been added to the Attribute Table to differentiate which area correspond with UT5. 2. Please consider consolidating your shapefiles into one and adding two attribute fields to this single shapefile. One field could identify the relevant reach, and the next could identify the buffer width. RE: Comply. The creditable mitigation area polygons have been condensed into one shape file. Two attribute fields have been added. One attribute now shows the buffer width and proposed mitigation activity, and the second identities the area's relevant reach.

This Site is located approximately 2.8 miles southeast of Archdale in Randolph County, NC (Figure 1). The Site encompasses approximately 12.2 acres of active cattle pasture and involves restoration and enhancement via cattle exclusion of 504,566 square feet of riparian buffers along UT Muddy Creek (UT MC, Index #17-9-(1)) and UT 1, UT 2, and UT 5. The intent of mitigation activities is to establish a vegetated buffer along the existing streams and provide functional uplift of features within the existing landscape. Functional uplift will be provided through the stabilization of actively eroding stream banks; planting of a riparian buffer; and excluding cattle from the easement. Toble 1.

Site streams flow directly to Muddy Creek (segment 17-9-(1)) approximately 1.0 mile east of the Site. Muddy Creek is a primary direct contributor to the Randleman Reservoir. A Local Watershed Plan has not been developed for this hydrologic unit. However, the Site does fall within the Deep River Basin (HUC 03030003) which is discussed within the Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) report (2009). The RBRP notes the goals for the Deep River Basin that are to protect several mussel species recognized by the Wildlife Resource Commission as a priority for protection, protect the federally endangered Cape Fear Shiner, and to improve water quality to waters draining to Randleman Reservoir. The latest Cape Fear Basinwide Water Quality Plan (2005) was reviewed to determine longstanding water quality stressors within the overall basin and within the Site's sub -watershed. Some of the identified stressors and recommendations identified in the Plan are listed below: • Habitat Degradation — sedimentation, lack of organic material and channelization. A recommendation was noted to maintain riparian buffers as an effort to assist in slowing degradation. • Arsenic, Chlorophyll a, Low Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Turbidity, Fecal Coliform Bacteria and Enterococcus, Mercury in fish tissue. • Agriculture — A recommendation noted was to continue and increase agricultural BMP's. • Forestry — A recommendation noted was to continue and increase forestry BMP's. In 2002, Muddy Creek was placed on the 303(d) list and a TMDL was created for Muddy Creek's watershed in 2004 to address fecal coliform impairment. Two segments of Muddy Creek were considered impaired due to fecal coliform. Site streams flow directly into one of those two segments (17-9-(1)). Primary sources of fecal input as identified in the document include nonpoint sources and Point Sources. Nonpoint sources were identified in the document as runoff from pasture and other agricultural lands near streams, wildlife, and domestic animals. The document also notes that agricultural land may contribute to greater runoff of fecal coliform compared with other inputs during storm events due to the increased impact of agriculture on riparian corridors. Point Sources of fecal coliform are identified as two low -scale wastewater treatment plants and urban stormwater discharging directly to Muddy Creek. The document suggests reductions of fecal coliform to achieve the TMDL should target storm -driven sources of runoff such as agricultural lands, residential areas, repairing aging sewer and septic systems and removal of SSO's. Two of the primary redundancies from watershed information listed above is that fecal pathogens and nutrient/sedimentation from agricultural production is stressing the Cape Fear River Basin and specifically the Muddy Creek Watershed. Buffer restoration at the Site will directly and significantly address both fecal pathogens and agricultural production. Primary goals of this buffer restoration project focus on: Reduce water quality stressors associated with nutrient, sediment, and pathogen loading. Enhance terrestrial and aquatic habitat. Randolph County, NC Page 3 May 26, 2020 M White Farms Buffer Mitigation Site I DMS Project No. 100112 Mitigation Project Summary These goals will be accomplished through the following objectives: Reducing water quality stressors will be directly tied to the following: a) Reducing non -point source (i.e. cattle accessing the channels, stormwater runoff through pastures and feeding stations) pollution associated with on -site agricultural operations by installing exclusionary fencing to remove cattle and machinery from on -site streams and riparian buffers. b) Reducing non -point pollution associated with on -site agricultural operations by restoring and enhancing riparian vegetative buffers on adjacent floodplains to treat surface water runoff from adjacent pastureland. c) Further removing agricultural equipment and cattle by providing and/or improving culverted agricultural crossings. d) Treatment of pollution associated with off -site agricultural, institutional, and residential properties by restoring and enhancing riparian vegetative buffers on -site to attenuate nutrient and sediment laden floodwaters. Enhancement of terrestrial and aquatic habitat will be directly tied to a) Restoring native vegetation to the existing maintained and highly impacted riparian corridors will diversify flora and create a protected habitat corridor that will provide an abundance of available foraging and cover habitat for a multitude of mammals and birds. Additionally, establishment of woody vegetation in the riparian corridor will provide direct inputs of woody debris to adjacent conveyances that will assist in increasing biomass and cover habitat for aquatic species. 2.2 Project Location Information The Site is located within the Southern Outer Piedmont, approximately 2.9 miles southeast of Archdale, NC. One air transport facility (Darr Field (FAA Identifier NC03)) is located approximately 3.5 miles northwest of the Site. The facility is privately owned. Directions to the Site: From Raleigh -Durham International Airport: 1-40 west for 61.6 miles; keep left for 1-85 S, go 17.6 miles to exit 113; turn left onto NC-62, go .2 miles; turn right onto Weant Rd, go to end; turn right onto Suits Rd, the project site will be on the left. 2.3 Baseline and Existing Conditions 2.3.1 Landscape Characteristics The Site is located within the Intrusive Rocks/ Metamorphosed Granite Rock region of the Piedmont (NCGS, 1985). Onsite elevations range from a high of 805 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) to a low of approximately 740 feet NGVD. Soil series depicted in the Randolph county Soil Survey are shown on Figure 2. The majority of lands within the Site are mapped as Helena sandy loam, 6 to 10 percent slopes. These soils are moderately well drained with slow permeability, and moderate to rapid runoff. Parent material is a residuum weathered from a mixture of felsic, intermediate, or mafic igneous or high-grade metamorphic rocks.

Land use within the Site's watershed is dominated by forest, which totals approximately 32% of the contributing watershed. The remaining contributing watershed is comprised of pasture and row crops (approximately 27%) and residential/schools (approximately 17%). Figure 4 depicts land use within the Site's watershed. Historic aerial photographs were utilized to collect information on Site changes in recent history. Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) provided aerials from the following years: 1937, 1948, 1950, 1959, 1964, 1969, 1970, 1973, 1980, 1983, 1993, 1999, 2006, 2009, 2012, and 2016. According to the aerial photographs, current Site conditions and uses have changed little since 1959. It appears that the pond located immediately southeast of UT 1 was dug sometime between 1950 and 1959. It also appears that during this time frame the portion of the Site that is immediately north of UT Muddy Creek was cleared to be used for agricultural purposes. A review of historic aerial photography of lands proximal to the Site confirms rapid urban expansion associated with the growth of the Triad, including residential housing, building of schools and business and installation of new infrastructure, including Interstate 74 approximately 0.5 mile east of the Site. Historical aerials provided by EDR can be seen in Appendix A. 2.3.3 Existing Site Conditions Six unnamed tributaries to Muddy Creek are located within the conservation easement. Current Site conditions are shown on Figure 5. Biological Impairment As noted above, most streams on the Site have various physical impairments that include: • Significant fine sediment and nutrient loading from runoff from cattle pasture. • Hoof shear of channel banks and bed form from cattle access and wading. • Continual maintenance of riparian buffers and denudation of deep rooted vegetation from those buffers. • Fecal loading into the channels from unabated access of cattle. • Agricultural machinery access. These physical impairments have detrimental effects on water quality and on the biological integrity of the Site. Effects of physical impairments include: • Silting of habitat for fish species and other macrobenthos in the stream channels, • Loss of essential bed form features, • Probability of increased loading of nutrients and pathogens to all stream systems on -site due to maintenance of fields within riparian areas and access of cattle to stream channels, • Denudation of riparian vegetation reduces the ability of the Site to attenuate floodwaters and uptake and store nutrients and other pollutant inputs, • Denudation of riparian vegetation substantially reduces potential woody debris inputs to the channel that are vital for aquatic propagation and cover habitat, and • Denudation of riparian vegetation reduces semi -aquatic and terrestrial habitat corridors through the Site. Randolph County, NC Page 6 May 26, 2020 M White Farms Buffer Mitigation Site I DMS Project No. 100112 Mitigation Project Summary Significant fecal and nutrient loads are entering UTMC and its tributaries because of direct cattle access to streams and overland sheet flow from adjacent pastures. Evidence of this includes visual observation of cattle in the stream channel during site visits and fecal matter along stream banks and within the stream channel. HDR used equations and guidance set forth by DIMS in the document titled "Quantifying Benefits to Water Quality from Livestock Exclusion and Riparian Buffer Establishment for Stream Restoration" (June 15, 2016) to determine fecal load reductions that may result from proposed restoration activities. Cattle exclusion (based on 30 animal units) and establishment of a riparian buffer will decrease the fecal load of the site by 2.96E+14 col/year for both options. HDR also used equations set forth in the NC DEQ memorandum titled "Approval of Cattle Exclusion Nutrient Reduction Practices" (April 5, 2017) as well as the document titled "NC Division of Water Quality— Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer Establishment" to determine nitrogen and phosphorous reductions for the Site. Cattle exclusion (based on 30 animal units) and establishment of a riparian buffer will reduce the nitrogen loads for the Site up to 931 Ib/yr and reduce the phosphorous load for the Site up to 88 lb/yr.

Herbaceous riparian vegetation will be planted in areas disturbed during construction but will generally re-establish naturally. 5.1 Planting Plan and Invasive Species Removal 5.1.1 Reference Vegetation Data A 30-foot reference data plot was randomly recorded in an ecologically stable climax forest community downstream of the Site (Figure 5). Data collected within the plot in Table 6. The reference forest community for the Site is the mature hardwood forest immediately southeast of the property which will serve as a model for restoration efforts on Site. Historical aerial photographs show that the area of forest chosen as the reference has remained undisturbed for a minimum of 82 years. Randolph County, NC Page 14 May 26, 2020 M White Farms Buffer Mitigation Site I DMs Project No. 100112 Mitigation Work Plan Table 6.

Based on the species present in the reference data plot, the forest community type is characteristic of a Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial Forest (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). 5.1.2 Planting Plan Within the easement boundary, Chinese privet is the dominant woody species along the banks of UT MC. Prior to planting, privet will be cleared and treated to ensure re -colonization is deterred. Existing privet root mass will remain intact to provide structure and stability to the stream banks. Sections of stream bank to be stabilized will be planted with a streamside assemblage consisting of black willow, tag alder, and other common streamside species. The remaining restoration areas located in the pasture will be planted with species consistent with the target vegetation community Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial Forest. The stream bank will be planted on approximately four foot spacing and the bare root seedlings in the pasture will be planted on approximately eight foot spacing, corresponding to approximately 680 stems per acre. It is expected that other characteristic species will recruit naturally into these areas after completion of construction. The herbaceous layer will be restored by seeding disturbed areas with a native riparian seed mix. Table 7 below identifies the proposed species composition for each planting zone. A plan view of the planting zones is depicted in Appendix E, Plansheet 8.

Fencing will be installed and incorporated into the existing pasture fencing. Fencing will be erected to NRCS and DMS standards to restrict cattle from accessing land within the easement. Existing fencing within the conservation easement will be removed. Randolph County, INC Page 16 May 26, 2020 M White Farms Buffer Mitigation Site I DMs Project No. 100112 Monitoring Plan 5.3 Stream Bank Stabilization Bank stabilization is proposed for areas where banks are experiencing active erosion that is not expected to stabilize naturally after cattle exclusion. Proposed bank stabilization areas along UT 1, UT 2, and UT MC are shown in Appendix E, Plansheets 3 - 7. All work will take place above the OHWM. Bank stabilization will consist of grading the banks at a 2.5:1 slope, spreading seed and straw over the disturbed area, and installation of coir fiber matting. Livestakes and bare root seedlings will be planted to establish a root system for permanent stabilization. 5.4 Piped Channel Crossings Replacement and installation of piped crossings are necessary to allow farming operations to continue on land adjacent to the project. The existing upstream crossing on UT 2 and the existing crossing on UT MC will both be removed. The channel will be extended in place of the existing crossings by matching upstream and downstream channel invert elevations and base widths. The banks will be sloped at a 2.5:1 gradient from channel toe to existing ground. Banks will be stabilized with seed and straw, coir fiber matting, and planted with live stakes and bare roots. A typical cross section has been included in the Pipe Removal detail on Plansheet 2A (Appendix E). The existing downstream crossing on UT 2 will be upfitted with an 18 foot, 30 inch diameter corrugated plastic pipe. An 18 foot, 36 inch diameter corrugated plastic pipe crossing will be installed on UT MC downstream of the existing cattle crossing to maintain access to the pasture south of UT MC. Lastly, an 18 foot, 24 inch corrugated plastic pipe will be installed at the upstream end of UT 1. All pipes will be covered with a minimum 1 foot of fill material. Fill material will then be topped with a minimum 8 inches of crushed stone. Details for both crossings can be found on Plansheet 2 (Appendix E). 6.0 Monitoring Plan Annual monitoring reports will be produced and submitted to DIMS by December 15Y of the year for which monitoring was conducted. The Site will be monitored annually for a duration of 5 years. The fifth year monitoring report will include a Closeout Report that provides an assessment of monitoring data collected from the entire monitoring period. Table 8 provides a summary of the monitoring plan components for the project. Parameter Monitoring Quantity Frequency Notes Method Vegetation CVS Level 2 Vegetation Annual Vegetation will be monitored using the plots will be Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) placed on protocols —2% of the planted area Invasive and Visual Semi- Locations of exotic and nuisance nuisance --- annual vegetation will be mapped and treated as vegetation necessary Project Visual Semi- Mapping of fence damage, vegetation Boundary annual damage, boundary encroachments, etc. will be mapped and addressed as necessary Randolph County, NC Page 17 May 26, 2020 White Farms Buffer Mitigation Site I DMS Project No. 100112 Success Criteria 7.0 Success Criteria The Site will be evaluated based upon the density and growth of characteristic forest species. Upon project closeout, the Site must demonstrate an average stem density of 260 stems per acre. No one, individual species may account for greater than 50 percent of recorded stems. A minimum of four native hardwood tree species or four native hardwood tree and native shrub species must be present. Natural hardwood and native shrub volunteer species may be included to meet the final performance standard of 260 stems per acre (Title 15A NCAC 02B .0295). 8.0 Stewardship 8.1 Ownership Fran Alicia White (PIN 7727495773) and Gary Reece White and Patricia H. White (PIN 7727596383) own lands that comprise the Site. Long term protection of the property is proposed through a conservation easement. The conservation easement is proposed to be transferred to the State of North Carolina. Attached in Appendix F is a signed Memorandum of Option between the property owners and HDR. The final Site Protection Instrument will be included as an appendix in the Final Mitigation Plan. 8.2 Long Term Management Plan Upon approval for close-out by the NCDWR the Site will be transferred to the NCDEQ Stewardship Program (or 3rd party if approved). This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long- term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Funding will be supplied by the responsible party on a yearly basis until such time an endowment is established. The NCDEQ Stewardship Program is developing an endowment system within the non -reverting, interest -bearing Conservation Lands Conservation Fund Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be governed by North Carolina General Statue GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable. The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage to identify boundary markings, as needed. Any livestock or associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility of the owner of the underlying fee to maintain.

The Site is located within the Randleman Lake Watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin in the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03030003. The Site is being proposed as part of a full -delivery riparian buffer mitigation project for the Division of Mitigation Services (RFP #16-007703). On June 19, 2019, Ms. Merritt performed an onsite assessment of riparian land uses adjacent to streams and channels onsite, which are shown on the attached map labeled "Determination Features Map". Staff from the Division of Mitigation Services were also present onsite. Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB) and landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015).

A stormwater drain exists within the buffer, but is expected to be excluded from credit and made into a "crossing" 'Subjectivity calls for the features were determined by DWR in correspondence dated July 24, 2019 using the 1:24,000 scale quadrangle topographic map prepared by USGS and the most recent printed version of the soil survey map prepared by the NRCS . 2 NC Division of Water Resources - Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer Establishment 'The area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer mitigation per 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(5) and 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(4). Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule. 4The area described as an Enhancement Site was assessed and determined to comply with all 15A NCAC 02B .0295(o)(6). Cattle exclusion fencing is required to be installed around the mitigation area to get buffer credit under this part of the rule. 5A11 features proposed for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset, must have a conservation easement established that includes the tops of channel banks when being measured perpendicular and landward from the banks, even when no credit is viable within the 50' riparian buffer. The map attached to this letter was prepared by HDR and initialed by Ms. Merritt on July 30, 2019. This letter does not constitute an approval of this site to generate mitigation credits. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for written approval REi2Lto conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to be eligible for riparian buffer mitigation credits. Page 3 of 4 White Site HDR July 30, 2019 This viability assessment will expire on July 30, 2021 or upon the submittal of an As -Built Report to the DWR, whichever comes first.
