RE: DWR Draft BPDP Comments
Moccasin Creek Mitigation Site (DWR # 2019-0239v2)
Johnston County, NC
Dear Ms. Merritt:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Water Resources (DWR) comments
dated May 13, 2020 for the Draft Bank Parcel Development Plan (BPDP) for the Moccasin Creek Mitigation
Site. Please note that the easement boundary was reduced by 0.2 acres from what was submitted in the
draft BPDP when one easement line was straightened near UT1 to improve monitoring and maintenance
of the easement. Easement acreage and credit totals have been adjusted accordingly. No other changes
to the Parcel boundary were made.
The DWR comments are listed below in bold, while Wildlands responses are noted in italics lettering.
Cover Page — Correct the project number to 2019-0239v2.
Correction has been made.
2. Appendix - Please provide a draft CE. I need to see that Wildlands has incorporated the
language noted in the Viability Letter. Since this site had many site constraints, some of the
issues need to be resolved up front, during the BPDP and MBI stage.
Draft language has been added incorporated into the conservation easement template and
included in the Appendix of the BPDP.
3. Section 1.0
a. Reference your MBI here and who the Bank Sponsor is. It should say that this project is
submitted for review under the Moccasin creek Mitigation Banking Instrument between
DWR and Wildlands Holdings III, LLC as the Bank Sponsor.
The correction has been made.
b. Add the nutrient offset rule reference to this paragraph. That rule is 15A NCAC 02B .0703.
The correction has been made.
4. Section 2.2 -You will need to show where the diffused flow memo was applied in Figure 7 and
in Table 8 unless you are filling the ditch, which I did not see being proposed.
Area where diffused flow memo is applied has been added to Table 8 and Figure 7.
5. Section 2.10
a. There are many utilities in such close proximity to this project. Therefore, you will
need to add details to this section with regards to who owns the utility easements
(sewer, power lines, etc). Wildlands will need to send the owners of these utilities a
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. • phone [phone] • fax [phone] • 1430 S. Mint Street, # 104 • Charlotte, NC 28203

WILDLANDS
ENGINEERING
letter informing them of the mitigation project and the abutting conservation
easement that will be immediately adjacent to their utility. DWR needs to see their
acknowledgment of the Wildlands letters. Once all documentation has been
provided, please add to the Appendix.
Wildlands has added additional ownership information about the utility lines adjacent to
the Parcel in Section 2.10 of the BPDP. Wildlands has also committed to providing a
copy of the conservation easement and plat to the utilities once they have been
recorded. DWR and UP2Sove will be cc'd on the communication with the utilities.
b. It would be best for the 30' power line to be relocated to the access easement. This
project is relatively small in linear footage to be encumbered by three easement
breaks.
Wildlands is unable to move the 30' power line without the cooperation of the adjacent
property owner and they have refused to cooperate or communicate with us any further.
c. Add a figure showing the pipeline relative to the project.
The pipeline figure has been added to the Appendix.
6. Section 4.1— Other than temporary seeding, no details specific to sediment and erosion
control measures are proposed. Please explain how stormwater runoff during a rain event
during site preparation, will be controlled such that sediment loss to the streams is prevented.
Because the existing land use for the site is agriculture, there will be minimal land disturbance
during planting of the project, additional control methods beyond seeding should not be
necessary.
7. Section 4.2 —
a. Provide a figure showing areas to be planted and/or seeded as part of Section 4.2.
Language has been added to the BPDP to better describe the area to be planted and
seeded.
b. Add a column titled Canopy/Subcanopy and identify which applies to each species
proposed for planting.
Column has been added with the canopy/subcanopy information.
c. Identify your seed mixes here. Planting a permanent seed mix that is abundant in
annual and perennial pollinator species is strictly voluntary but is being encouraged by
DWR in other mitigation plans to promote diversity and enhance the health of the
herbaceous layer, which can also greatly benefit planted stems. Are any of the seed
mixes pollinator friendly?
The seed mix we use is pollinator friendly. Additional documentation has been added to
Section 4.2
8. Section 5.0 — Anywhere you have used "Success Criteria" please replace with "Performance
Standards" to comply with rule language.
The correction has been made throughout the section.
9. Section 5.2- With the presence of all the utilities near this project, DWR expectations of your
monitoring are higher. The risks of encroachment at this site are higher than with sites where
utilities are not present. Annual visits should be twice per year.
A robust easement marking plan was developed for the project and is included in Section 5.3 to
reduce the risk of encroachment. The utilities adjacent to the Parcel will be sent a copy of the
recorded easement and plat. Wildlands will check the easement boundary a minimum of two
times per year.
10. Section 5.3 —

WILDLANDS
ENGINEERING
a. Look at the viability letter and add language to this section that references the
proposed CE (reference where you added it in the Appendix and the unique language
that has been inserted in the CE to ensure that the 15' from TOB is addressed.
The requested language has been added to this section.
b. The CE boundaries are unique with this project. Between dealing with the drainage
district and the other utilities, the boundaries will be very important to make known
on site. Identify how Wildlands intends to mark the boundaries at this site within the
0-15' as well as the parts abutting the utility easements. DWR expects Wildlands to
have a specific and unique plan no marking the easement boundary on this site and
that plan needs to be spelled out here for DWR review.
A robust easement marking plan including has been developed for the Parcel and
included in Section 5.3.
11. Section 6.2 — As you know, having the long term steward assigned up front is the part of the
approval of this project to generate mitigation credits and there are some unique terms being
requested by DWR to put in the Easement. Therefore, as part of the review of the BPDP and
MBI, DWR needs Wildlands to identify who the long-term steward is anticipated to be. Please
provide some form of documentation from the steward that implies they intend to accept the
easement and its unique terms.
Unique Places to Save has agreed to be the long-term steward for the site. They have reviewed
the modified conservation easement and have written a letter agreeing to hold the easement.
The letter is included in the Appendix.
12. Section 7.0 —
a. Therefore, a total of ?? square feet is removed from the creditable area at the top of
Ditch A. The credits sought within 101-200' will only be used for nutrient offsets and
cannot be converted into buffer credits. See MBI. But will be within the conservation
easement boundary
A total of 4,350 square feet is proposed to be removed from the credits. That
information is now included in the report text and Table 8. The other specific language
edits were also made in Section 7.0.

Bank Parcel Development Package
Moccasin Creek Mitigation Site
Neuse River Basin
1.0 Introduction
The Moccasin Creek Mitigation Bank Parcel ("Parcel") is proposed under the terms and conditions of the
Moccasin Creek Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer Mitigation Banking Instrument ("MBI"), made and
entered into by Wildlands Holdings III, LLC acting as Bank Sponsor ("Sponsor") and the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality ("NCDE(X") Division of Water Resources ("NCDWR"). The Parcel
shall be planned and designed according to the MBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0240, 15A NCAC 02B .0703 and the
Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 which became effective November 1, 2015.
The Parcel is located in central Johnston County within the Town of Pine Level (Figure 1). The Parcel
involves riparian restoration on Moccasin Creek and one unnamed tributary (UT1). The project is located
within the Neuse River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020201160010 and North Carolina Division
of Water Resources (NCDWR) Subbasin 03-04-12 and is being submitted for riparian buffer mitigation
credit and nutrient offset credit in the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 (excluding Falls Lake) (Figure 2).
Moccasin Creek flows into Holts Pond and eventually into the Neuse River approximately 12 miles
downstream from the Parcel. Moccasin Creek and its tributaries upstream of Holts Pond are classified as
Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). The
proposed project supports specific goals identified in the 2010 and 2015 Neuse River Basin Restoration
Priorities Plan (RBRP) by promoting "nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas by restoring
and preserving wetlands, streams and riparian buffers."
This buffer restoration and nutrient offset project will reduce sediment and nutrient loading, provide
and improve terrestrial and in -stream habitats, and improve stream and bank stability. The area
surrounding the streams proposed for buffer restoration is currently agricultural fields, typically used to
grow tobacco, soybeans, and corn. See Appendix for Parcel photos taken February 17,2020.
Restoring the vegetation on the areas up to 200 feet from the streams will remove row crops and
fertilizer inputs within the project area. The restored floodplain areas will also filter sediment during
high rainfall events. The establishment of vegetated riparian areas will create shading to minimize
thermal heating. Finally, invasive vegetation will be treated within the project area and the newly
planted native vegetation will provide cover and food for wildlife.

2.0 Mitigation Project Summary
2.1 Project Goals
The major goals of the proposed buffer restoration and nutrient offset project are to provide ecological
and water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by restoring the riparian area to create a
functional riparian corridor. Specific enhancements to water quality and ecological processes are
outlined below in Table 1.

from harmful uses.
2.2 Existing Parcel Conditions
The proposed buffer restoration and nutrient offset project includes approximately 16.3 acres of open
agricultural fields along Moccasin Creek, one unnamed tributary (UT1), and one ditch (Ditch A). The
agricultural fields are currently being used for soybean and corn production. The farmer regularly
applies chicken litter to the fields to supplement commercial fertilizer. Streams and ditches on the Parcel
have no existing riparian buffer (Figure 3).
Moccasin Creek enters the Parcel from a wooded tract and flows to the southeast across the northern
parcel boundary (Figure 3), thereby connecting the project to the adjacent wildlife corridor. UT1 enters
the Parcel from a culvert under Pine Level Selma Road and flows to the north directly into Moccasin
Creek. Ditch A drains to Moccasin Creek south of UT1. The Parcel is characterized by gently sloped
valleys dominated by row crops. Based on a review of historical aerials (presented in the Appendix), the

land use directly adjacent to onsite streams was farmland as far back as 1959 and has been maintained
as farmland to present.

NCDWR performed an onsite visit of the Parcel to determine viability for buffer mitigation on February
12, 2019 (letter dated November 22, 2019) for the project. Both Moccasin Creek and UT1 were deemed
viable by NCDWR to generate buffer mitigation. More information was required for Ditch A to
Moccasin Creek Mitigation Site BPDP
HUC 03020201 Page 3 June 2020

determine its viability for buffer credit. Credits are not requested on Ditch A; therefore, the additional
assessment needed to determine buffer credit viability was not completed. The Buffer Interpretation
/Clarification Memo #2008-019 applies to Ditch A where maintenance of diffuse flow onsite is
unattainable. The reduction in credit from the memo being applied is documented in Figure 7 and
Table 8.
There have been no changes to land use in the project area since NCDWR's site visit. At this site visit,
NCDWR also assessed the stream origin and issued the official Stream Origin Determination Letter
March 5, 2019. A copy of both the "On -Site Stream Origin Determination for Applicability to Neuse
Riparian Buffer Rules" and the "Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset" letters from
NCDWR are included in the Appendix and summarized in Table 3.

2.3 Watershed Characterization
The Parcel is located within the Targeted Local Watershed 03020201160010 and NCDWR Subbasin 03-
04-12. UT1 drains to Moccasin Creek which is classified as C and NSW by NCDWR. Class C waters are
designated for recreational use, agriculture, fishing and fish consumption, and the maintenance of
biological integrity for wildlife. The NSW designation applies to surface waters that are experiencing
excessive growths of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation.
The Parcel topography, as indicated on the Selma and Kenly West, NC USGS 7.5-minute topographic
quadrangle, shows gently sloped areas throughout the Parcel (Figure 4). Drainage areas for the project
reaches (Figure 5) were delineated using 2-foot contour intervals derived from the North Carolina
Floodplain Mapping Program's 2007 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Land uses draining to the
project reaches are primarily agriculture with some forested and residential use. The watershed areas
and current land use are summarized in Table 4, below.

2.4 Drainage District
The Parcel is located within the Moccasin Creek Drainage District, shown on Figure 1, where active
maintenance is frequently performed. While the drainage district has no drainage easement on the
Parcel, they have been notified and have acknowledged their acceptance that any maintenance they
perform on the section of Moccasin Creek located within the Parcel will be limited to 15 feet from the
top of bank of the streams and ditches identified in the DWR Site Viability Letter. Correspondence with
the Drainage District is included in the Appendix.

2.6 Geology
The Parcel is located in the Inner Coastal Plain physiographic province. The landscape of the Inner
Coastal Plain is characterized by flat lands to gently rolling hills and valleys. Elevations range from 25 to
600 feet above sea level. The Coastal Plain largely consists of marine sedimentary rocks comprised of
sand, clay, and limestone that formed through the deposition of estuarine and marine sediments within
the last 140 million years. According to the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985), the underlying
geology of the proposed mitigation site is mapped as the Yorktown and Duplin Formations (undivided).
The Yorktown Formation is described as fossiliferous clay with varying amounts of fine-grained sand.
The unit is bluish gray with shell material commonly concentrated in lenses. The Duplin Formation is
described as a bluish gray, shelly, medium to coarse -grained sand with components of sandy marl and
limestone.
2.7 Existing Vegetative Communities
Existing vegetation within the Parcel is primarily comprised of active row crop fields of soybeans with
narrow streamside thickets on Moccasin Creek as shown in the February 17, 2020 site photos
(Appendix).
2.8 Threatened and Endangered Species
The NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
database were searched for federally listed threatened and endangered plant and animal species in
Johnston County, NC. Six species, the red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Neuse River
waterdog (Necturus lewisi), Carolina madtom (Noturus furiosus), Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni),
WMoccasin Creek Mitigation Site BPDP
HUC 03020201 Page 5 June 2020

the Tar River spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) are listed or
proposed for listing as federally endangered or threatened species. Wildlands performed pedestrian
surveys of the Parcel in January 2019, October 2019, and February 2020, and determined there was no
suitable habitat in the project area for the Red -cockaded woodpecker, Neuse River waterdog, Carolina
madtom, Atlantic pigtoe, or the Tar River spinymussel. There are small sections of suitable habitat for
Michaux's sumac, but no individual species were identified; therefore, the project will have "no effect"
on any of the federally listed species. The USFWS Self -Certification Letter and USFWS concurrence is
included in the Appendix.
2.9 Cultural Resources and Significant Natural Heritage Areas
There are no existing structures in the project area. The Parcel is not located near any sites listed on the
National Register with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Crocker Cemetery is located
adjacent to the Parcel but will not be impacted by the project. SHPO was contacted with request for
review and comment on January 21, 2020. SHPO responded on February 14, 2020, and determine while
two previously recorded pre -colonial American Indian archaeological sites are located on the Parcel, the
ground disturbance proposed within the easement boundary should have no effect on the
archaeological sites. All communication with SHPO is included in the Appendix.
2.10 FEMA Floodplain Compliance
No grading activities are proposed in the floodplain, so a floodplain development permit will not be
required. No hydraulic modeling is proposed for this project.
2.10 Parcel Location, Parcel Constraints, and Access
The Parcel is located in central Johnston County within the Town of Pine Level (Figure 1). The project is
located within the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201160010 and NCDWR Subbasin 03-04-12, which is in
the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201.
The Parcel is accessible for construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship from Pine Level -Selma
Road. There are three planned breaks in the Parcel, their locations and widths are shown on Figure 3.
Two breaks are for overhead utility lines managed by Duke Energy. The third break includes both a
driveway and a sanitary sewer line that runs down the left side of UT1. The left side of UT1 will not be
restored and will not be included in the conservation easement boundary. The sewer line then runs
along the left bank of Moccasin Creek on the adjacent parcel outside of the project boundary. Duke
Energy and the Johnston County Public Utilities Department will each be sent copies of the conservation
easement and plat once they have been recorded in the Johnston County Register of Deeds.
The proposed route for the Atlantic Coast pipeline is located approximately 0.5 miles northwest of the
property (https://atlanticcoastpipeline.com/recent-updates/default.aspx#map). A figure showing the
proposed pipeline route is included in the Appendix.
2.11 Other Environmental Conditions
An Environmental Data Resources, Inc (EDR) Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the
Parcel on January 14, 2020. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any of
the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. There was one Leaking
Underground Storage Tank (LUST) site located within 0.25 miles of the Parcel that was closed out in
2003. The Executive Summary of the EDR report is included in the Appendix.

3.0 Site Protection Instrument
The land required for planting, management, and stewardship of the mitigation project includes
portions of the parcel listed in Table 6. The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its
entirety by Unique Places to Save, an approved NCDWR long term steward, and will be managed under
the terms detailed in the approved NCDWR conservation easement. Per the Site Viability Letter, the
conservation easement will be transferred to the NCDWR approved long term steward prior to the first
credit release. A copy of the conservation easement is included in the Appendix.

4.0 Mitigation Work Plan
The project will restore agriculturally impacted land along Moccasin Creek and UT1 to a protected
riparian corridor, improving the ecological function of the area. The project design will ensure that no
adverse impacts to wetlands or existing riparian buffers occur. Figure 7 illustrates the conceptual design
for the Parcel. Figure 8 further depicts the riparian buffer zones for the Parcel.
4.1 Parcel Preparation
The land use within 200 feet from top of bank of the project features has been maintained as cleared for
crops. Areas slated for restoration will require little site preparation because the land has been
maintained in agriculture; therefore, soil disturbance during planting of the project will be minimal. Site
preparation will include select herbicide treatments to remove undesirable vegetation. Where needed,
invasive species will be selectively spot treated by a licensed pesticide applicator. Any drain tiles found
in the conservation easement area during survey and/or planting of the project will be sealed.
4.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Riparian area restoration will involve planting appropriate native tree species along the riparian corridor.
Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed over the first few years of tree
establishment in the riparian restoration areas to prevent encroachment of undesirable species that
may out -compete the planted native vegetation. Tree species planted across the riparian areas of the
Parcel will include a mixture of the species listed in Table 7 below.

Trees will be planted in the riparian restoration areas at a density sufficient to meet the performance
standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 of 260 planted trees per acre at the end of five years
of monitoring. No one tree species will be greater than 50% of the established stems. An appropriate
seed mix will also be applied to provide temporary and permanent ground cover for soil stabilization
and reduction of sediment loss during rain events in areas without existing herbaceous cover. The
proposed seed mix contains taxonomic families such as Asteraceae and Lamiaceae which have beneficial
relationships with many insects found within the Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, and Diptera families.
Planting is scheduled for winter February 2021.
The tree species listed in Table 7 will also be planted within the 15 foot no credit area described in
Section 2.4 and shown in Figure 7, but the vegetation in that area will not be monitored as described in
Section 5.0 below.
4.3 Riparian Area Enhancement Activities
No riparian enhancement activities are planned for the Parcel.
4.4 Riparian Area Preservation Activities
No riparian preservation activities are planned for the Parcel.
5.0 Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
5.1 Monitoring Protocol
Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be installed and evaluated within the riparian buffer
restoration and nutrient offset areas to measure the survival of the planted trees. The plots will be
randomly placed throughout the planted riparian areas. A total of 12 plots will be established within the
riparian restoration areas (Figure 9). The size of individual quadrants will be 100 square meters.
Vegetation assessments will be conducted and follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2
Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner
of each of the 12 plots. Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in
the annual reports. All planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded.
Planting is scheduled for February 2021. The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the end
of the first growing season, at least five months after planting has been completed and no earlier than
the fall season. Species composition, height, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by
plot. The total number of volunteer woody stems will also be documented and reported. The measure
of vegetative success for the Parcel will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species,
where no one species is greater than 50% of the established planted stems, and an established density
of at least 260 planted trees per acre at the end of monitoring year five. Appropriate and desirable
native volunteer species may be included in the Parcel's density to meet the performance standards
with NCDWR approval.
Wildlands shall submit the annual monitoring report to NCDWR by December 31St of each year for five
consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the Moccasin Creek Mitigation Banking
Instrument (MBI).
Moccasin Creek Mitigation Site BPDP
HUC 03020201 Page 8 June 2020

5.2 Parcel Maintenance
If the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the performance standards outlined in
Section 5.1, adaptive measures will be developed and/or appropriate remedial actions will be
implemented. Site maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that
have a high likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include, but are not limited to, fire,
flooding, drought, or insects that cause excess tree mortality. Any actions implemented will be designed
to achieve the performance standards and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria.
Any parcel maintenance performed will be included in the monitoring report for that year. A rigorous
herbicide schedule may need to be implemented in the first few years of tree establishment in the
restoration areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that may out -compete the planted native
vegetation. The only herbicides used on the Parcel will be aquatic approved herbicides that will be
applied in accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture rules and regulations.
The easement boundary will be checked twice a year as part of monitoring activities. Easement
boundary conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring
reports to NCDWR. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the
Sponsor must receive approval from NCDWR prior to conducting any mowing activities within Neuse
Buffer Zones 1 and 2 to ensure that no buffer violations have occurred.
5.3 Easement Boundaries and Fencing
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, post, tree -blazing, or other means
as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Signage along the boundary line will be
placed every 100 feet as is possible. Boundary markers that have been disturbed, damaged, or
destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. Contact information for the
conservation easement holder will be included on easement markers. Additional signs listing prohibited
vegetation management restrictions will be installed approximately every 100 feet in portions of the
easement abutting utility ROW, offset from traditional signage. For additional protection from
prohibited activities as described in Article VI. Section A of the conservation easement will be
demarcated by posts and polytape at a distance equal to or greater than 15' offset from the top of bank
of Moccasin Creek.
6.0 Financial Assurance and Long -Term Management
6.1 Financial Assurances
Following approval of the Moccasin Creek Mitigation Site Bank Parcel Development Package, the
Sponsor shall provide a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by
A.M. Best. The Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of
the project as described in the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP, but not less than $150,000). In
lieu of posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first
credit release. In that case no performance bond will be necessary.
After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be
secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan but not less
than $100,000. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring
period for a term of one year and be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR
approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring.
wMoccasin Creek Mitigation Site BPDP
HUC 03020201 Page 9 June 2020

Performance Bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next years monitoring
period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with each annual monitoring report when
applicable. NCDWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are
submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable.
6.2 Long-term Management
The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by Unique Places to Save, an
approved NCDWR long term stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved
NCDWR conservation easement. The long-term manager will be responsible for periodic inspection of
the Parcel to ensure that the restrictions documented in the recorded easement are upheld in
perpetuity. A letter from UP2Save committing to the long-term stewardship of the Parcel is included in
the Appendix.
7.0 Mitigation Potential
Of the 16.3 acres protected under the conservation easement, the mitigation activity for 14.0 acres is
riparian restoration. The mitigation credit calculation was derived based on Wildlands' conceptual
design for maximum ecological uplift. The management objectives, mitigation type, and proposed
amount of buffer mitigation are presented in Tables 8 and 9, below. The Buffer Interpretation
/Clarification Memo #2008-019 applies to Ditch A where maintenance of diffuse flow onsite is
unattainable, therefore a total of 4,350 square feet is removed from the creditable area at the top of
Ditch A. Of the riparian area being restored, the total riparian buffer credits requested are 311,905.000
square feet and the total pounds of nutrient offset credit are 15,513.563.
As stated in Section 2.4, the first 15 feet from top of bank, approximately 49,711 square feet, are not
eligible for mitigation credit and are not included in the credit totals but will be within the conservation
easement boundary. The credits sought within 101 to 200 feet will only be used for nutrient offsets and
cannot be converted into buffer credits. The restoration areas beyond the first 15 feet from top of bank
to 100 feet are viable for either riparian buffer credits or nutrient offset credits and can be converted
upon approval by NCDWR.

Mr. Richard D. Braswell
Chairman
Moccasin Creek Service District
2736 NC Hwy. 210
Smithfield, NC 27577
RE: Notification and Confirmation that the Johnston County Drainage District #1: Moccasin
Creek Watershed Central Drainage District maintenance is limited on Parcel 262414-33-7734
Dear Dicky,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. is planning a riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation bank on
the Johnston County Parcel ID 262414-33-7734 owned by Daniel F. and Paula S. Kornegay. The
attached Exhibit A shows the parcel and the approximate area of the buffer mitigation bank
project. Wildlands' plans are to record a permanent conservation easement approximately in
the areas shown on Exhibit A. Once approved by the NC Division of Water Resources, we will
plant trees throughout the easement area.
As we have previously discussed, the Central Drainage District maintains an access route on the
North side of Moccasin Creek and does not have an easement or right of access on the South
side of Moccasin Creek. However, as a part of its approval process for the buffer restoration
project, the NC Division of Water Resources is requiring that we coordinate with the Drainage
District to document that any future travel -way within the proposed conservation easement
area for the Drainage District will be limited to 15 feet from the top of Moccasin Creek and the
lateral streams coming into Moccasin Creek on the site. This would apply to any future
maintenance contracts issued for the project parcel as well.
Your signature on page two of this letter indicates that you have reviewed the attached
preliminary map and that you see no conflict between the Central Drainage District and the
NCDWR requirements of a limited 15-foot travel -way on the Kornegay's parcel approximately
as shown on the attached Exhibit A.

The Division of Water Resources (DWR) received a Request for Stream Buffer Applicability
Determination for a Potential Mitigation Site of the location described above. On February 12,
2019, DWR staff, along with Andrea Eckardt from Wildlands Engineering Inc. conducted a site
visit.
DWR determined that the two features on the site, Moccasin Creek and the Unnamed Tributary
to Moccasin Creek are both perennial stream features subject to the Neuse River Riparian
Buffer Rules and are both located on the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey of Johnston
County, North Carolina and shown on the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a
1: 24,000 scale.
There may be other streams or features located on the properties and on the included maps
that may be subject to the buffer rules or may be considered jurisdictional according to the
US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.
This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners
or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination
by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of
this letter to the Director in writing.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Moccasin Creek Site
Located at 1839 Pine Level Selma Rd, Selena, NC
Neuse 03020201 (not in Falls WS)
Dear Ms. Eckardt,
On January 8, 2019, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources {DWR}, received a request
from you on behalf of Wildlands Engineering, Inc (WEI) for a site visit near the above -referenced
site in the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The site visit was
to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within a proposed
Easement Boundary, which is more accurately shown in the attached maps labeled "Figure 4"
prepared by WEI. On February 12, 2019, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site.
Staff with WEI were also present. Site constraints on the property are detailed below:
I . Two existing powerline easements are present — one easement is 100' wide and one easement
is 30' wide;
2. One existing driveway is present;
3, Sewer lines are present but the specific sewer line access easement has not been provided to
DWR;
4. Site is located within the Moccasin Creek drainage district where active maintenance is
performed within Moccasin Creek and its unnamed tributaries (see Exhibit A)
Regarding Item 4 above, DWR is likely to support a riparian restoration project adjacent to moccasin
creek and its associated unnamed tributary, labeled UTI , under the following conditions:
I . A Conservation Easement (CE) must include the top of channel banks and be written in a
way to support the Drainage District's needs within the first 15' from top of bank only. This
will have to include the lateral streams and ditches coming into Moccasin on the site as well
2. The CE must be transferred to a DWR- approved long term steward before receiving the first
credit release.
3. Correspondence must be provided to the Drainage District regarding ## I above
4. Correspondence from the Drainage District to Wildlands must be provided to DWR
acknowledging their acceptance that 15' is the maximum width allowed for a travel -way
within the CE area. Their maintenance contract would need to be updated in response to this,

noting that 15' along areas of Moccasin Creek and laterals at this location, is the maximum
"travel -way".
5. No buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits can be generated within the first 15' from top
of bank.
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) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240,

Maps that are attached to this letter were prepared by WEI and initialed by Ms. Merritt on November
22, 2019.
This letter does not constitute an approval of this site to generate mitigation credits, Pursuant to 15A
NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for written
approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters for
buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240, a proposal regarding a proposed nutrient
load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for approval prior to any
mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters.
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 buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being
viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting
calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to
determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0240.
This viability assessment will expire on November 22, 2021 or upon the submittal of an As -
Built Report to the DVWR, whichever comes first. This letter should be provided in any
nutrient offset, buffer, stream or wetland mitigation plans for this Site

Project Name: Moccasin Creek Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

01/28/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-01244
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at [e-mail].

Re: Moccasin Creek Mitigation Bank Parcel, Johnston County, ER 20-0191
Dear Ms. Eckardt:
Thank you for your January 22, 2020, submission concerning the above -referenced project. We have
reviewed the materials provided and offer the following comments.
Two previously recorded pre -colonial American Indian archaeological sites (31JT78 and 31JT79) are located
within the subject property. These sites have not been assessed to determine their eligibility for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places. Both sites are in the floodplain south of the project. However, the
boundaries for site 31JT78 may extend into the subject easement areas.
Ground disturbance as proposed within the subject easement areas should have no effect on sites 31JT78
and 31JT79. However, should access roads or additional ground disturbing activities be planned, we request
engineering specifications be submitted to us for review.
In addition, the Crocker Cemetery is located on property immediately southwest of the project area along
Pine Level -Selma Road. The cemetery appears to be well marked and should not be directly impacted by
ground disturbance. However, we recommend heightened caution during ground -disturbing activities in the
vicinity of the cemetery.
Please note that cemeteries are protected under NC General Statutes Chapter 14-148 and 14-149 and are
afforded consideration under Chapter 65. Should human remains be discovered in the vicinity of 31JT78 and
31JT79 or anywhere else in the project area, the provisions of North Carolina General Statute Chapter 70,
Article 3 apply. All ground disturbing activities should immediately cease, and the county medical examiner
should be contacted.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Location: 109 East Jones Street, Raleigh NC 27601 Mailing Address: 4617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-4617 Telephone/Fax: [phone]-6599

Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-814-6579 or

SURROUNDING SITES: SEARCH RESULTS
Surrounding sites were identified in the following databases
Elevations have been determined from the USGS Digital Elevation Model and should be evaluated on
a relative (not an absolute) basis. Relative elevation information between sites of close proximity
should be field verified. Sites with an elevation equal to or higher than the target property have been
differentiated below from sites with an elevation lower than the target property.
Page numbers and map identification numbers refer to the EDR Radius Map report where detailed
data on individual sites can be reviewed.
Sites listed in bold italics are in multiple databases.
Unmappable (orphan) sites are not considered in the foregoing analysis.

exchanged, or involuntarily converted following an extinguishment or the exercise of eminent domain,

easement at the time of this grant to the value of the Conservation Easement Area (without deduction for
G
