Wildlands Holdings VI, LLC is wholly owned by Wildlands Engineering, Inc. The Site is in Cedar Creek Township, Cumberland County, NC, approximately 11 miles southeast of Fayetteville and 7.3 miles north of the Bladen/Cumberland County line (Figure 1). The project is in the 14-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HU) 03030005010010 and NC Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) subbasin 03-06-15. The Site will provide stream mitigation credits in the Upper Cape Fear River Basin 03030005 (Cape Fear 05), specifically HUCs 0303000501 and 0303000502. Additionally, it will provide stream mitigation credits for HUCs 030300050405 and 030300050303 (Figure 2). The project involves the restoration of Cedar Creek and two unnamed tributaries to Cedar Creek (Figure 3). The restoration of these streams will provide 7,512 stream credits. The Site will be protected by a 47-acre conservation easement. The Site Protection Instrument detailing the easement is included in Appendix 1. Table 1: Project Attribute Table Part 1 Project Information Project Name Dudley Pond Mitigation Site County Cumberland Project Area (acres) 47 Project Coordinates (latitude and longitude) 34°57'25.9"N 78°45'06.1"W Planted Acreage (acres of woody stems planted) 31 2.0 Basin Characterization and Site Selection The Site is in the Cape Fear 05 Basin, the DWR subbasin 03-06-15, and the 03030005010010 14-digit Hydrologic Unit (HU). There are no current local or state watershed plans associated specifically with this subbasin. The Cape Fear 05 is largely forested, but contains development extending from Fayetteville and Wilmington, and several major highways, including NC-53, NC-41, NC-87, and US-74 (Figure 4). The Dudley Pond 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. The site is located in the headwaters of the Cape Fear 05 basin (Figure 2). Although the watershed is dominated by forested land and agricultural land, suburban sprawl from Fayetteville, Hope Mills, and Raeford area contribute to a higher proportion of urban area ("'10%) than the remainder of the Cape fear 05 subbasin. Land use within the Cedar Creek watershed indicate the primary watershed stressors originate from animal operations, row crop agriculture, and fish migration barriers. These stressors would include livestock access to streams, runoff from agricultural fields inputting excess nutrients and bacteria, lack of adequate riparian buffers, and in -line ponds and culverts hindering aquatic organism passage. The site will address the stressors associated with a lack of riparian buffers, in -line ponds, and protecting the site from developmental pressures through the establishment of a conservation easement. W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 1 May 2020 3.0 Baseline and Existing Conditions 3.1 Watershed Conditions The Site watershed (Table 2 and Figure 5) is situated in rural Cumberland County in the township of Cedar Creek, near Fayetteville, NC. The site has three Carolina Bays that drain to the project site. The bays were investigated in person to determine that they drained to the watershed. Land use within the watershed is predominately forested and agricultural with a small portion of developed land consisting of houses and small stores. Land use at the site, reported in Table 2, has remained essentially unchanged since at least 1951 based on review of historic aerial photographs (Appendix 4). The watershed has not changed significantly in land use or riparian buffer extents. This consistency in land use within the project watershed indicates that watershed processes affecting hydrology, sediment supply, and nutrient and pollutant delivery have not varied widely over time. One exception is the recent breach of the pond dam. Additionally, the bank is located in a rural watershed where the dominant land uses are agriculture, forest, and silviculture. The land is zoned for agriculture, therefore, watershed processes and stressors from outside the project limits are likely to remain consistent throughout the implementation, monitoring, and closeout of this project. Table 2: Project Attribute Table Part 2 Project Watershed Summary Information Physiographic Province Coastal Plain Ecoregion Carolina Flatwoods River Basin Cape Fear USGS HUC (8-digit, 14 digit) 03030005; 03030005010010 NCDWR Sub -basin 03-06-15 Project Drainage Area (acres) 4,211 Project Drainage Area Percentage of Impervious Area 0.4% CGIA Land Use Classification 30%wetland, 29%forested, 29%agriculture, 7% developed, 5% shrubland 3.2 Landscape Characteristics The Site is in the Carolina Flatwoods ecoregion of the Coastal Plain physiographic province. The Coastal Plain geology is characterized by relatively flat terraces of primarily unconsolidated sediments and carbonate rocks ranging in age from Cretaceous to Quaternary. These layered materials accumulated as sediments deposited in what was once a shallow ocean or shelf along a shallow ocean. The deposits formed in roughly parallel belts that trend southwest to northeast. The underlying geology of the site is mapped in the Black Creek Formation (Kb) and the Cape Fear Formation (Kc), which both formed during the Cretaceous period (NCGS, 1985). The Black Creek Formation is described as gray to black, lignitic clay with thin plates of sand from mica and thick lenses of cross -bedded sand. The Cape Fear Formation is described as a yellowish gray to bluish gray sandstone and sandy mudstone with red to yellowish orange mottles that is indurate and graded with laterally continuous bedding. Soils on site range between silty clay loamy and loamy sands. They are deep to very deep soils. The well drained soils on site —Norfolk loamy sand, Udorthents, and Wagram loamy sand —are located along sections of Cedar Creek Reach 1 (NRCS, 2011). The poorly drained soils on site—Chewacla loam, Dunbar loam, Johnston loam, Lynchburg sandy loam, and Torhunta and Lynn Haven soils —are located along T1, T2, Cedar Creek Reach 2, and sections of Cedar Creek Reach 1. Figure 7 provides a soil map of the Site. W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 2 May 2020 The deep soils and geologic structure of the region indicate no natural grade control (e.g., bedrock) will be available. Consequently, the restoration design will include constructed grade control. A soil scientist took preliminary sediment core samples within the pond bed that became exposed with the breach of the dam to determine sediment composition. The layers of sediment deposits consist of silt clay, sandy clay loam, sand, and loams. There were also lenses of clay at various depths. Possible historical deltas were found at depths of 11-48 inches with buried wood found at 36 inches. Rounded pebbles indicating a possible historic stream bed were found at 36 inches of depth. A boring location map and descriptions are located in Appendix 4. 3.3 Project Resources The site includes lands that have been historically used as a mill pond, for row crop production, and for silviculture. Topography is typical of the coastal plain, with gentle, unconfined alluvial valleys. Three sand bed, perennial streams are located on site: Cedar Creek, T1 and T2. Both T1 and T2 drain to Cedar Creek. The majority of Cedar Creek within the project limits was ponded since pre-1951. The dam is an 18-foot tall earthen dam with an open orifice primary outlet structure and an overflow spillway. The dam failed during Hurricane Matthew in 2016 via the emergency spillway. The spillway eroded 13 vertical feet on the right side of the pond. The spillway was repaired, and then failed again during Hurricane Florence in 2018. Since the second failure it has not been rebuilt and Cedar Creek passes through the eroded spillway and flows parallel (west to east) to the old dam before re -connecting to the original outfall. The drained pond bed has now developed riparian wetlands, similar to the rest of the site. The following sections describe stream and wetland resources in more detail. Stream and wetland assessment forms are located in Appendix 3 and 2, respectively. Cedar Creek Cedar Creek flows north to south through the property. Reach 1 was ditched and straightened between 1974 and 1993 and was pushed to the right edge of the valley. It is paralleled on the right bank by a maintenance path and drainage ditch. It is incised and has erosion present on the majority of the banks, indicating that it is actively widening. There is a lack of bedform diversity. Riparian buffers are located on either side of the stream. As the stream approaches the pond bed (Reach 2), the channel that has recently formed since the dam failure winds through the pond sediment deposits in the center of the valley before paralleling the dam both upstream of the breach and downstream of the breach. There is a high likelihood the breach will cause a headcut through the unconsolidated material of the pond over time. Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 3 May 2020 T1 T1 enters the site from an agricultural field as a straightened and ditched channel as evidenced by overburden material on the banks. There is poor bedform diversity without distinguishable riffles and pools. The channel is entrenched, preventing hydrologic connection with riparian wetlands. There is a riparian buffer present on either side while on the project property. T2 T2 flows through an in -line pond upstream of the project site and enters the project site through a culvert on John Hall Road. The right riparian buffer is in row crop and the left buffer is sparsely vegetated until the confluence of Cedar Creek, where it enters a forested wetland. The stream is channelized, incised, and moderately entrenched. A beaver dam was located on the stream during the existing conditions survey and has since been removed.

All jurisdictional resources were located by sub -meter GPS or conventional survey. USACE staff approved the extent of jurisdictional resources on March 21, 2019. There are nine jurisdictional features on -site as well as a linear conveyance and a beaver inundated area along T2 (at W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 4 May 2020 the time of delineation). Wetland determination forms representative of on -site jurisdictional areas as well as non -jurisdictional upland areas are included in Appendix 2. Afield assessment of existing wetland quality was conducted on April 11, 2019, with specific focus on the wooded riparian area of Cedar Creek Reach 1. Each assessment area (7 in total) was evaluated using the NCWAM (Figure 8). Assessment area boundaries were determined based on upland boundary or observation of some factor which could result in different functionality from the adjacent area. Differences in vegetation species proportion, structure, and density were primary factors distinguishing each assessment area. A representative location was selected within each assessment area to serve as the center of a circular 1/10t" acre plot for woody stem inventory. All woody stems with a diameter at breast height (DBH) greater than or equal to two inches within the sample plot were an assigned to a two-inch DBH class. Each assessment area was evaluated using the North Carolina Wetland Assessment Methodology to assess functionality (Appendix 2). All assessment areas scored low for the overall wetland rating, low for hydrology and water quality functional ratings, and low to medium for habitat function ratings (Appendix 2). Cedar Creek Reach 1 is incised such that flood flows do not access the floodplain during typical rain events. Thus, functional benefits associated with overbank flooding have been compromised. The bed of the recently breached pond was delineated as wetland. As it has been inundated until recently, there is no forested vegetation and it is mainly comprised of herbaceous species. With the breach of the dam, sediment deposited in the pond area is at a high risk for channel incision. If this occurs, it would separate the stream hydrologically from the maturing wetland.

The first category is influenced by the beaver dam on T2, which holds water on the Cedar Creek floodplain upstream of T2. This category is dominated by a mixture of swamp tupelo (Nyssa bifloraJ with interspersed red maple (Ater rubrum). The second category, located in the northern section of the site, is dominated by small diameter swamp tupelo. The third category, located directly adjacent to Cedar Creek, is dominated by small diameter red maple interspersed with mixed diameter swamp tupelo. Additional canopy species in all evaluated areas include swamp titi, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), American holly (Ilex apaca), and sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana). Herbacous species in all evaluated areas include wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca), soft rush, and haspan flatsedge (Cyperus haspan). The floodplain of Cedar Creek Reach 2, in the recently drained pond bottom, has been primarily colonized by soft rush. Carex species, tearthumb (Persicaria spp.), and dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium) are also present, along with a few isolated water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica) trees. Red maple, sweetgum, tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), groundsel tree (eaccharis halimifolia), and hazel alder (Alnus serrulata) have also begun to grow in the pond bed. At the southern tip of the conservation easement, below the existing dam, there are invasive species including kudzu (Pueraria montana), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), and autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata). Chinese privet is also scattered along the north side of T1 on the eastern edge of the easement area. 3.4 Overall Functional Uplift Potential The primary stressors on site are incision from channelization and resulting scour, the failure of the dam at the downstream end of the project, and a lack of riparian buffer on the southern half of the project. These stressors led to NCSAM scores of medium and low. Without intervention, Cedar Creek will continue to incise, 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 W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 6 May 2020 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. • Remove the existing dam and providing grade control on streams to eliminate headcutting. • Planting riparian buffers to shade streams, help stabilize streams, and promote woody debris in system. • 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 There are a couple known Site constraints that will be addressed as part of this project. A single strand utility distribution line runs along T2 that was used to power a now abandoned gas line that terminates on the right bank of the channel. All infrastructure relating to this will be removed as part of this project. Additionally, beaver activity has been observed on T2. Wildlands has contracted with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to remove beavers. There are no proposed stream projects within the project limits and no other known constraints to functional uplift. 4.0 Regulatory Considerations Table 5, below, is a summary of regulatory considerations for the Site. These considerations are expanded upon in Sections 4.1-4.4. Table 5: Project Attribute Table Part 4 Regulatory Considerations Parameters Applicable? Resolved? Supporting Docs? Water of the United States -Section 404 Yes No PCN Water of the United States -Section 401 Yes No PCN Endangered Species Act Yes Yes Appendix 5 Historic Preservation Act Yes Yes Appendix 5 Coastal Zone Management Act No No N/A FEMA Floodplain Compliance No N/A N/A Essential Fisheries Habitat No N/A N/A 4.1 401/404 Care has been taken to design the streams to remain hydrologically connected to existing wetlands on - site, while minimizing impacts to those wetlands. The majority of floodplain grading will be considered a temporary impact to wetlands as hydrologic connectivity is anticipated to improve after channel restoration, and vegetation will be re-established. Any wetlands within the conservation easement and outside of the limits of disturbance will be flagged with safety fence during construction to prevent unintended impacts. This will be noted in the final construction plans on the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and Detail plan sheets, as well as in the project specifications. Table 6 estimates the anticipated impacts to wetland areas on this project. Final impacts will be provided in the Pre -Construction Notification, after proposed floodplain grading has been completed, and will more accurately quantify these data. The numbers below reflect a conservative estimate of W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 7 May 2020 potential impacts. Figure 9 shows the locations of preliminary, anticipated impacts. The Pre - Construction Notification, including this data, will be provided to the IRT in the Final Mitigation Plan.

Three animal and four plant species identified as threatened or endangered are currently listed near the project area on IPaC (Table 7). The NHP also lists over 30 rare and watch list plant and animal species within Cumberland County. Table 7: Listed Threatened and Endangered Species in Cumberland County, NC Species Federal Status Common Name Scientific Name American alligator Alligator mississippiensis Threatened (Similarity of Appearance) Red -cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered Saint Francis' satyr butterfly Neonympha mitchellii francisci Endangered American chaffseed Schwalbea americana Endangered Michaux's sumac Rhus michauxii Endangered Pondberry Lindera melissifolia Endangered Rough -leaved loosestrife Lysimachia asperulaefolia Endangered A pedestrian survey of the site was performed on October 3, 2019. No suitable habitat and/or individual federally listed species of American Alligator, Saint Francis' satyr butterfly, American chaffseed, or rough -leaved loosestrife were identified in the project area. Suitable habitat was found for the red - cockaded woodpecker, pondberry and Michaux's sumac but no individuals of any of the federally listed species were found. Wildlands concludes the project may affect but is not likely to adversely affect the red -cockaded woodpecker and the project will have no effect on pondberry and Michaux's sumac. The USFWS reviewed the prospectus for this project and responded on December 6, 2018, stating "the Service currently has no objections...to the project" but would like to reserve their concurrence with the USACE determination of "no effect" until after they are able to review the mitigation plan. A letter requesting review and comment was also sent to the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) on August 31, 2019. The NCWRC had not responded as of the submittal of this mitigation plan. Correspondence is included in Appendix 5. 4.3 Cultural Resources /Conservation Lands /Natural Heritage Areas The National Heritage Program Database was searched for all sites listed on the National Register with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), natural heritage areas, and managed areas within a 5-mile W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 8 May 2020 radius of the project location. There are three Historic Preservation areas listed, the closest is the Cedar Creek Fire Lookout Tower at 1.8 miles. Due to distance, the lookout tower, Maxwell House, and Stedman Historic District will not be impacted by the project. SHPO reviewed the project prospectus and responded in a letter dated December 28, 2018 stating they are "aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project". There are also two natural heritage areas and one managed area within five miles of the Site, but none are contiguous with the project location (Figure 1). According to the research and based on the response from SHPO, no historic resources or natural heritage areas will be affected by this project. For regulatory communication, please refer to Appendix 5. 4.4 FEMA Floodplain Compliance and Hydrologic Trespass The Site is represented on the Cumberland County Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel 0464. The entirety of the site is mapped as Zone X with minimal flood risk. Zone X is an area outside the 500-year storm and protected by levee from the 100-year storm. The streams are not modeled. Wildlands will coordinate with the Cumberland County floodplain administrator to obtain the appropriate floodplain development permit for the project. 5.0 Mitigation Site Goals and Objectives The overall goal of the project is to improve stream and riparian wetland function through stream restoration and riparian buffer re -vegetation. Project goals have been set in order to achieve the functional uplift outlined in Section 3 and alleviate the watershed stressors. The project goals and related objectives are described in Table 8.

Cedar Creek, T1, and T2 are proposed as stream restoration. Restoration activities will include moving channels to the center of the valleys and establishing new planform, cross -sections, and profiles specific to the reaches. The table below summarizes the primary impairments to each stream reach and the proposed restoration activity. Table 9: Functional Impairments and Restoration Approach Resource Reaches) Primary Stressors/Impairments Restoration Approach Cedar Straightened and moved to valley wall, lack of full riparian buffer, Creek 1 2 lack of habitat, previously impounded. Restoration Ditched and straightened, lack of habitat, incising to reach Cedar T1 - Creek Restoration Ditched and straightened, lack of habitat, incising to reach Cedar T2 - Creek, Beaver Ponds Restoration 6.2 Reference Streams Reference reaches were chosen to inform the design because of their similarities to the Site streams including drainage area, valley slope, morphology, and bed material. They were also chosen for their examples of pool formation using woody debris in low slope conditions. Cedar Creek, directly upstream of the project limits, was used as the primary reference for Cedar Creek on site. This stream flows through a wooded area for over 5,000 ft and has stable plan form, dimension, and profile. Six other reference reaches were identified for the Site and used to support the design of T1 and T2 (Figure 11) and the overall design discharge analysis. Geomorphic parameters for these reference reaches are summarized in Appendix 4 (except for reference reaches only used for discharge analysis). A brief description of each reference reach is included in Table 10.

This means selecting a design discharge that allows for frequent overbank events. Multiple methods were used to develop design discharges for restoration reaches, including published regional curve data (Doll et al. 2003), reference reach data, and existing bankfull indicators. Additionally, Wildlands performed a regional flood frequency analysis using U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) gage sites, Results are shown in Table 13 and illustrated in Figure 12. W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 12 May 2020 Table 13: Summary of Design Discharge Analysis Cedar Creek R1 Cedar Creek R2 T1 T2 DA (acres) 2707 4211 102 1178 DA(sq. mi.) 4.23 6.58 0.16 1.84 NC Rural Coastal Plain Regional Curve (cfs) 47 64 4 26 Wildlands Regional USGS Flood Frequency Analysis (cfs) 1.2-year event 44 57 7 28 1.5-year event 64 80 12 42 Site Specific Reference Reach Curve (cfs) 51 69 5 29 Manning's Equation from Surveyed XS (cfs) XS2 68 XS3 33 XS5 56 XS6 5 XS9 49 Design Q 51 69 6 29 The results of the discharge analysis provided a range of discharge values. As illustrated in Figure 12, the most concurrence was found between values for the site -specific reference reach curve, the Wildlands regional flood frequency analysis 1.2-year storm, and the Mannings' values from on -site bankfull indicators. The final design values are generally in line with the site -specific reference reach curve. 6.5 Sediment Transport Analysis Wildlands performed a qualitative assessment of sediment supply and sources in the project watershed using past, current, and projected future land use conditions from the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), historic and current aerial photography, and future county zoning maps. For a description of the historic land uses and changes in land use in the watershed, refer to Section 3.2. Runoff from agricultural fields is a likely consistent contributor of sediment supply to all project streams and erosion from logging is an episodic contributor. Off -site, Cedar Creek exhibits little streambank erosion and the stream itself is not likely contributing to the sediment load. However, T1 is actively incising and widening upstream of the site and contributing sediment downstream. The pond above T2 acts as a sediment trap, though it may periodically flush sediment during large enough storm events (i.e. hurricanes). The prominent sediment source within the site is stream bank erosion that is exhibited on all project reaches. Despite this contribution, and sediment sources upstream, there are no signs of aggradation within the site streams, indicating that streams are prone to degradation with the current sediment IoadsA competence analysis was performed using shear stress as calculated by the Shields (1936) and Andrews (1984) equation described by Rosgen (2001). The results of the competence analysis are shown in Table 14.

Site streams are predominately sandbed with interspersed gravel. Cedar Creek Reach 1, T1, and T2 have low valley slopes and overall channel slopes. To ensure adequate sediment transport competence was maintained, reaches were designed with longer pools and shorter riffles. This increased localized velocities at the stream riffles. The competence analysis on these reaches indicated reaches could transport medium sized gravel, but not the maximum particle size. Knowing localized shear stresses could be higher based on individual riffle velocities, the bed material will be sized to pass sand and small gravels, with the D50 and Dmax being similar to existing conditions. Additionally, since the site is prone to degradation, design will include threshold structures to prevent head cuts from forming and migrating. Such structures will include log drops, constructed riffles with rock, and combinations of the two. 6.6 Project Implementation 6.6.1 Cedar Creek Reach 1 and T1 Cedar Creek Reach 1 and T1 will be restored using a Priority 1 restoration approach. Streams 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. Streams will meander through their natural valleys, restoring pattern to previously straightened and ditched systems. The ditch parallel to the maintenance path on the right floodplain of Cedar creek will be filled and water directed into Reach 1. Reach 1 is a very flat section of the project. The cross-section for this reach is larger than upstream or downstream to accommodate the slow down in water through this reach. Likewise, as discussed in the Sediment transport sections, pools were designed flat to allow for grade drop over riffles. Stream structures in this reach 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 reference reach upstream. T1 is a very short reach connecting to cedar Creek Reach 1. It will have a grade control structure at the top to prevent headcuts moving off property in the future. Cedar Creek Reach 2 Over 300 linear feet of dam at the downstream end of Cedar Creek will be removed and Cedar Creek and its floodplain will be lowered along Reach 2 to remove legacy sediment and tie the channel in to the downstream bed elevation. The stream will begin cutting down at the head of Cedar Creek Reach 2 and continue at a relatively consistent slope until it meets the stream below the dam. A floodplain will be excavated from the legacy sediment that is a minimum of twice the belt width of the channel and allows W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 14 May 2020 the stream to meander without the floodplain itself meandering. The valley slopes will be gentle to form a U-shape valley. Borings were taken by a licensed soil scientist in a grid across the old pond bed (figure and report in Appendix 4). Information in these borings was used to identify soil characteristics at the proposed floodplain elevation. From the confluence with T2 to approximately Station 141+00 (approximately 1,500 Linear Feet), floodplain cut ranges from zero to four feet in depth. The soil characteristics at depth of cut are clay (boring A4), sandy clay (boring B13), and sand (boring B14). The cut increases to four to six feet between Station 141+00 and 148+50 (just upstream of the dam). At station 146+00 (boring B6) the depth of cut is at the approximate location of the historic stream bed. The soil characteristics at depth of cut in this section range from silt clay (boring B5), coarse sand/loamy sand (boring A3), to loamy sand (boring Al and B15). Soil fertility tests were taken at boring locations marked with an "A" to determine rates of amendments necessary for plant growth, and alternatively, the recommendation to harvest a layer of cut with higher fertility to be placed as topsoil within the proposed floodplain to promote the best growth of vegetation. The top layer of soil may be used, or some underlying layer, as this is all soil deposited behind the dam. Structures along Cedar Creek Reach 2 are chosen for both grade control and habitat needs. This reach contains more Angled Log riffles and Angled Log Drops along to prevent headcutting through the legacy sediment. These structures also aid in the formation and maintenance of pools. Brush toe will be used on the banks to provide protection from shear stress as well as shelter for fish. T2 T2 will be a shallow Priority 2 restoration with cut averaging one foot in depth along the reach. The large culvert under the road prohibits raising the stream any further. The floodplain will be over twice the beltwidth of the stream, with a gentle U-shape valley slopes to reach the existing grade. The previously straightened stream will be meandered through the existing valley. Utilities along this reach will be decommissioned and infrastructure removed, as previously mentioned. Structures along this reach will be primarily habitat driven, incorporating logs and woody debris to promote fish and macroinvertebrate habitat. 6.7 Vegetation, Planting Plan, and Land Management 6.7.1 Vegetation and Planting Plan The objective of the planting plan is to establish, over time, a thriving riparian buffer composed of native tree species. This restored buffer will improve riparian habitat, help the restored streams stay stable, shade the streams, and provide a source for LWD and organic material to the streams. The Site will be planted to the extents of the conservation easement. Riparian buffers will be planted with early and late successional native vegetation (a mixture of trees and shrubs). The specific species composition to be planted was selected based on the community type, occurrence of species in riparian buffers adjacent to the Site, best professional judgement on species establishment, and anticipated Site conditions in the early years following project implementation. Species chosen for planting are listed on Sheet 3.0 of the Draft Plans located in Appendix 9. The riparian buffer areas will be planted with bare root seedlings. Species planted as bare roots will be planted at 12-foot by 6-foot spacing (targeted densities after monitoring year 3 are 320 stems per acre). In addition, streambanks will be planted with live stakes. Herbaceous plugs will be planted throughout the site in combination with instream structures to add toe -of -slope protection for the streambanks. W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 15 May 2020 To help ensure tree growth and survival, soil amendments may be added to areas of the floodplain throughout the Site where overburden material is removed, especially in the area previously covered by Dudley Pond. Soil composition tests will be performed in areas of cut and appropriate amendments will be applied based on the results. Additionally, topsoil will be stockpiled and reapplied before permanent seeding and planting activities take place. Invasive species on Site are present throughout the existing vegetation. At the southern tip of the conservation easement below the existing dam, there are invasive species such as kudzu, Chinese privet, multiflora rose, mimosa (Albizzia julibrissin), and sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata). Chinese privet is also scattered along the north side of T1 on the eastern side of the easement area. The entire extent of the powerline corridor has high densities of multiflora rose, Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana), and Chinese privet. As much existing invasive species as possible will be removed before and during construction. Post construction, the presence and extents of invasive species will be monitored and managed. Treatment of invasive species will continue as necessary throughout the life of the project to ensure project stability and success of the riparian and streambank vegetation. Additional monitoring and maintenance issues regarding vegetation can be found in Sections 9 and 10 and Appendix 6. 6.7.2 Land Management The primary purpose of land management prior to construction is to effectively treat most invasive plant populations on the site. Initial work took place in August 2019 treating kudzu and woody invasive plant species in the southern tip of the easement. A large portion of the utility corridor was treated for Japanese honeysuckle and other invasive species. The utility company sprayed >5-foot tall vegetation in their easement summer 2019, effectively killing several Callery pear of seed -producing age classes. All known mature mimosa and Callery pear individuals were treated prior to seed production in 2019 to limit recruitment in soils disturbed by construction. Invasive plant populations not treated or effectively controlled by the 2019 treatments will be monitored and treated post -construction. All other populations of invasive plants on the site will be monitored by Wildlands and treated as necessary during the monitoring period. Wildlands will also monitor the site for future land management issues, such as floodplain erosion, bare areas, and boundary encroachments, that arise during the monitoring period. 6.8 Project Risk and Uncertainties There are no utilities crossing the project area that would require outside maintenance. The streams have been designed with threshold riffles and additional grade control structures to prevent erosion and headcuts within the stream channel and through the old pond bed. They will also promote movement of sediment through the system from any unforeseen inputs due to changes in land use such as logging. As this is a sandbed system and there is potential for logging events within the watershed, sediment pulses are expected to move through the system that may periodically inundate stream channels. This may also occur during large storm events (i.e. hurricanes). Channels are expected to flush out this sediment and reform during subsequent storm events. The watershed is zoned for agriculture, so suburban and urban development is not an anticipated change in land use. The culvert on John Hall Road, at the head of T2, was replaced recently, so maintenance is not expected. However, the presence of the utility easement at the top of T2 and the DOT right of way would allow access without harming any length of stream producing stream credits. The easement area will be clearly marked with easement markers along all sides according to standards. The easement along the eastern side follows an existing tree line at the edge of the field, making it low W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 16 May 2020 risk for encroachment from agricultural fields. If agricultural activities do show signs of encroachment or an area is deemed high risk for encroachment, the easement will be marked with high visibility horse tape between the easement signs and may include six-foot. Coordination with adjacent landowners will be done ahead of project construction to determine if extra marking is necessary to aid in their agricultural activities. For example, if tall growing crops are planted, tall PVC may be installed along that boundary. The streams have been designed to not induce hydrologic trespass on neighboring properties. All ditches within the existing floodplain will be filled or maintain positive drainage to the site. There has been beaver activity on site on stream T2. A beaver was trapped and removed in June 2019 through an ongoing USDA contract. USDA is scheduled to return to the site in Summer 2020 to remove additional beavers prior to construction. The contract with USDA will remain ongoing. The site will be monitored quarterly for beaver activities, and beaver will be removed from site when their presence is identified. Potential maintenance activities that address these risk and uncertainties are located in Appendix 6 — Maintenance Plan, and Section 10.2 —Long Term Management Activities. 7.0 Determination of Credits The final stream credits associated with the Site are listed in Table 15. Stream Restoration is at a ratio of 1:1. All riparian buffers are the required minimum of 50 feet. The Wilmington District Stream Buffer Credit Calculator (updated 1/19/2018) was used to determine final crediting for the "Additional Credit from Extended Buffers" shown in Table 15, below. The results of the Credit Calculator are located in Appendix 7 with the credit release schedule.

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 this project are those described in the 2016 Compensatory Mitigation Update including Vegetation (Section V, B, Items 1 through 3) and Stream Channel Stability and Stream Hydrology Performance Standards (Section VI, B, Items 1 through 7).

GPS mapping Visual Assessment CCPV Signs of encroachment, stream instability, invasive species W Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 18 May 2020 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 over time 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. Invasive vegetation will be mapped, photographed, and visually assessed annually. Invasive species will be treatment by mechanical and/or chemical methods so that invasive species do not exceed 5% of the easement acreage and that there is no presence of kudzu. All herbicide applications will be performed in accordance with the NC Department of Agriculture rules and regulations. 9.0 Monitoring Plan The Site monitoring plan has been developed to ensure that the required performance standards are met, and project goals and objectives are achieved.

Unique Places to Save (UP2Save) will serve as the Grantee and long-term 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 Falling Creek 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.

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. 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 two 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) 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 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 21 below. 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 claims) 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. Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Final Mitigation Plan Page 23 May 2020 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 12 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 21. 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 21. Annual monitoring insurance will be submitted to the USACE upon approval of each previous year 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 21 lists the proposed insurance principal amounts for each monitoring year.

Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A. Preliminary Determination ® There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that maybe subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 8/7/2019. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction. ❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that maybe subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. B. Approved Determination ❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination maybe relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. SAW-2018-02160 ❑ The waters, including wetlands on your prof ect area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years. ❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination maybe relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to determine their requirements. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403).

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.

Haupt, Mac; Browning, Kimberly D CIV USARMY CESAW (US) Subject: Dudley Pond GSA Morning John, I think the approach that we will be taking for the Dudley Pond GSA is to include the (2) proposed additional 12-Digit HUCs (in the Riegelwood/Delco area), but exclude the Cape Fear 04 8-digit HUC altogether. The NCIRT will be discussing the GSA for this HUC, as well as others, in the near future. When that decision is finalized, I will pass that information to you. So for now, we are accepting the (2) 12-digit HUCs for Dudley Pond, but not the entire Cape Fear 05 and not any of the Cape Fear 04. I would expect that the GSA issue for all the HUCs in NC will be settled by the time you complete the mitigation plan.

The tract is located northwest of Stedman Cedar Creek Rd &John Hall Rd intersection, approximately 0.7 mile northeast of NC Hwy 53, adjacent to &encompassing Cedar Creek and Dudley Pond, near Cedar Creek Community, south of Faye#teville, Cumberland County, North Carolina. Also, please reference our December 14, 2018 onsite meeting with attendees: Mr. John Hutton of Wildlands Engineers, Mr. Mac Haupt of North Carolina (NC) Division of Water Resources, and Mr. Todd Tugwell of our office. Pursuant to 33 CFR Part 332.8(d)(5) Compensatory Mitigation Far Losses of Aquatic Resources, our office is providing our initial evaluation as to the potential of your proposed Bank for providing appropriate compensatory mitigation for activities authorized by Department of the Army (DA) permits. Comments (copies enclosed) were received from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, NC State Historic Preservation Office, and Cherokee Nation Tribal Historic Preservation Office during the commenting period of the Public Notice. Based on our review, coordination with the IRT, and the onsite inspection, it is our position that the proposed Bank has potential for appropriately providing compensatory mitigation for DA authorizations. Consequently, our office confirms proceeding with the development of a mitigation plan and the Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI). This mitigation plan and MBI must be approved prior to the release of any credits. With respect to the development of the mitiga#ion plan, several of the following items of the bank proposal were discussed during the December 14th onsite meeting. First, the proposed GSA is the entire 03030005 Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) of the Cape Fear River Basin. It was brought to your attention that the lower end of this HUC -�- {vicinity of New HanoverlColumbus/fender County lines intersection) has been historically excluded from GSA limits of several existing banks located in the upper part of the HUC. In a subsequent email, you requested the addition of the 12-Digit HUCs 030300050405 and 030300050303 to coincide with the NC Department of Transportation's Request far Proposal for potential mitigation needs. Upon review of the information, our office agrees to extend the GSA to include these two 12-Digit HUCs. The expansion of the GSA to encompass the entire lower end of the 03030005 remains a discussion within the NC IRT and plans are to finalize the GSA in this, and other, HUCs in the near future. At this time, it is advisable far your planning purposes to presume that the lower end of the 8-digit HUC will continue to be excluded from your Bank's GSA until a final determination is made. Other meeting topics of discussion were the inclusion of potential wetland credits, the need to conduct a full assessment of the stream (i.e. historic location and condition, channel dimensions, sediment accumulation in the floodplain), addressing existing constraints (i.e, beaver activity, powerline, gas line, adjacent upstream pond), the need for mapping soil types, identifying reference sites, vegetative plantings specific for Dudley Mill Pond and the use of reference target communities, wetland impact considerations during the development of stream design for the upper forested reach of Cedar Creek, justification of ratios and thoroughly documenting projected ecological uplift, and the inclusion of NCSAM and NCWAM functional assessment forms and locations. Other components were also covered during the meeting and all discussed topics should be considered and incorporated in your bank planning and development of the mitigation plan. Also, please use the October 24, 2016 version of the Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update guidance in the preparation of the plan. If you have any questions regarding the banking process or moving forward with the establishment of your proposal, please do not hesitate to contact me at the Wilmington Regulatory Field Office, telephone (910) 251-4811 or mickey.t.sugg@usace.army.mil.

The Service currently has no objections or significant comments to the project. We note that the U.S. Army Corps, of Engineers (Corps) has made a determination of "na effect" far federally -fisted species. However, the prospectus states that the project area will be assessed for individual species and/or suitable habitat for federally -listed species during preparation of the mitigation plan, and that the Service will be car�sulted if any suitable habitat and/or individually federally listed species are identified in the project area. Therefore, the Service will reserve our concurrence with the Carps determination until we have had the opportunity to review the mitigation plan. The Service appreciates the opportunity to review and provide comments on the proposed action, Should you have any questions regarding the project, please contact Kathy Matthews at (919) 856-4520, extension 27.

Pete Benjamin, Field Supervisor cc, NMFS, Beaufort, NC EPA, Atlanta, GA U11RC, Raleigh 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. Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Appendix 6 USACE Action ID No. SAW-2016-02160 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 mitigation site.

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 draft binder materially represents the policy jacket as it will appear upon binding and includes the declaration pages, policy body, and all endorsements. Please note that the Draft Binder reflects changes recommended by Todd Tugwell and Corps Counsel, which are addressed in the "NC -Wilmington District Amendatory Endorsement 2020" on page 22/22. While these changes were communicated with reference to a different pending mitigation bank in the Wilmington District, I surmise that they will apply broadly. The policy will be bound for 8 years, any of which can be extended through modification and in consideration of additional premium. The specific policy period dates will be adjusted to reflect the date of final approval and binding, at which point signatures and a policy number will also be added and the watermarks designating "specimen" or "draft" will be removed. Please do not hesitate to call me at (928) 699-1068 with any questions.
