Deer Water Farm Parcel
Wildlands' Neuse River Riparian Buffer & Nutrient Umbrella Mitigation Bank
DRAFT Bank Parcel Development Plan
The Deer Water Farm Parcel ("Parcel") is proposed as part of the Wildlands' Neuse River Basin
Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Umbrella Mitigation Bank ("Bank"). The project parcel shall be
planned and designed encompassing land surrounding agricultural ditches that drain directly to
the Neuse River in Wayne County, NC.
The purpose of the Bank Parcel is to provide nutrient mitigation credits to compensate for
development requiring nutrient offset payments within the service area, Hydrologic Unit
03020202, as depicted in Figure 1. 0
1.0 Parcel Location
1.1 Introduction
The Parcel involves the restoration of agricultural ditch buffers ("buffers") in order to help
reduce non-point source discharge of contaminants into stream and agricultural ditch channels
("channels") within the Neuse River Basin. Approximately 21.5 acres of land on the project site
will be protected with a permanent conservation easement or restrictive covenant. Out of the
21.5 acres, 20.5 acres will be restored for nutrient offset mitigation credit. The remaining 1.0
acre within the deed restricted area will be restored and protected under the conservation
easement or restrictive covenant, but no credits are being requested for that area due to the one
acre area being farther than 200 feet from top of the channel bank. In general, buffer widths will
extend at least 200 feet from the top of the ditch bank.
1.2 Parcel Location
The Parcel is located in Wayne County, NC, approximately 6 miles southeast of the City of
Goldsboro and approximately 5 miles from the Lenoir County border (Figure 2). The site is
seven miles south of US 70 off North Carolina State Route 111.
The proposed site is located in a rural watershed within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020202)
and within sub-basin 03-04-05. The site drains to the Neuse River which is classified as Nutrient
Sensitive Waters by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ). The project site
consists entirely of open agricultural fields with no existing buffer. The area is currently farmed
for soybean production. The project area includes the buffering of open field ditches that drain
directly to the Neuse River, as shown in Figure 3. Out of the 21.5 acre site, 20.5 acres will be
restored for nutrient offset mitigation credit. The remaining 1 acre within the project area will be
restored and protected with a conservation easement or restrictive covenant, however this area is
farther than 200 feet from top of the ditch banks and no credits are being requested. A photo log
of the site is located in the appendix.

2. 2 Existing Parcel Vegetation
• The project area consists entirely of open agricultural fields with no existing buffers. Existing
ditch banks are mowed on an annual basis. The area is currently farmed for soybean production.
2. 3 Threatened and Endangered Species
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) databases
were searched for federally listed threatened and endangered plant and animal species for Wayne
County, NC. Two federally listed species, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and the
red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), are currently listed in Wayne County (Table 2).

Protection Act
Bald eagle
Bald eagles typically live near large bodies of open water with suitable fish habitat including:
lakes, marshes, seacoasts, and rivers. This species generally requires tall, mature tree species for is
nesting and roosting. Bald eagles were de-listed from the Endangered Species List in June,
2007; however this species remains under the protection of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection
Act (BGPA). This species is known to occur in every U.S. state except Hawaii.
Red-cockaded woodpecker
The red-cockaded woodpecker is typically found in large open stands of pines with trees over 60
years in age. The foraging habitat for this species may include pine hardwood stands of longleaf
and southern pine, over 30 years in age. Known populations of the red-cockaded woodpecker
have been observed within Wayne County over the past 20 years.
A pedestrian survey of the site was performed on February 26, 2009. No individual species or
their habitat was found to exist on the site. Furthermore, there is no known recent occurrence of
any of the two listed species within 1.5 miles of the project site. Correspondence with the
Natural Heritage Program regarding the site is included in the appendix.
2.4 Parcel Cultural Resources
The NC Department of Cultural Resources determined that the project would not have an effect
on any structures or properties eligible or listed on the National Register of Historic Places. All
correspondence with the NC Department of Cultural Resources is included in the appendix.
3.0 Proposed Restoration Activity
Actions required to develop the subject site for mitigation will require altering current land use
practices. Buffer restoration will involve removing invasive vegetation from the restoration area
and replanting appropriate native tree and shrub species along the buffer corridor. Herbaceous
vegetation will also be planted but will generally re-establish naturally. Intensive vegetation
management and a rigorous herbicide schedule will need to be implemented over the first few
years of tree establishment in the buffer restoration areas to prevent establishment of invasive
species that will attempt to out-compete the planted native vegetation. More detailed
descriptions of the proposed restoration activity follows.
3.1 Parcel Preparation
The majority of the site slated for buffer restoration has been maintained as a cleared agricultural
field. These areas are relatively clear and will require little site preparation other than select
Deer Water Farm Page 3

U1
herbicide treatments or limited mechanical clearing to remove undesirable underbrush prior to
planting. The entire planting area will be disked and ripped using standard farming equipment in
an overlapping pattern. This approach will break up any plow layers and increase surface
storage to promote nutrient uptake from the site. The topography will mimic micro-topographic
conditions seen in natural bottomlands.
Wildlands will manage vegetation growth by mowing in between planted trees annually during
the monitoring period. Additionally, selective applications of a pre-emergent herbicide will be
used to control weedy competition. Past project experience has indicated that use of these
techniques significantly limits competition by undesirable vegetation and results in significant
increases in tree growth.
3.2 Planting
The revegetation plan for the site will include planting of bare root trees and controlling invasive
species growth. Bare root trees selected for the site will be native bottomland hardwood species
typical for Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp communities as defined by Schafale and Weakley
(1990). Tree species specified for planting on the Deer Water site are detailed in Table 3.

3.3 Success Criteria
Buffer vegetative success criteria is based upon the density and growth of character tree species
as defined in Tables 3 & 4. Vegetative success criteria will be based upon guidelines set forth in
the Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration prepared by the North Carolina Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (or subsequent updated versions of these guidelines in place at the date of
acceptance of a BPDP), and shall be defined as a success rate equivalent to 320 live stems per
acre at the end of the 5-year monitoring period. For the purposes of monitoring, the following
species, sweetgum, red maple and loblolly pine, will only be counted for a maximum of 20% of
the total trees counting toward the target criterion of 320 stems per acre. If stem counts or visual
n

•
observations indicate that these species are becoming invasive and hindering the survival of the
planted stems, control measures will be taken.
If vegetative success criteria are not achieved based on acreage density calculations from
combined monitoring plots over the entire restoration area, or if an inspection of a buffer
restoration site indicates that portions of the site do not have sufficient stem densities or are
otherwise deficient, supplemental planting shall be performed with tree species approved by
NCDWQ. Supplemental planting shall be performed as needed until vegetative success criteria
are met. No quantitative measurements of herb assemblages will be required to meet the
vegetative success criteria. The quantity of monitoring plots shall be determined in accordance
with The Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (Levels I & II), such that no more than 2
percent of the Parcel is encompassed in monitoring plots.
4.0 Parcel Monitoring and Maintenance
4.1 Monitoring Reports
Wildlands shall submit to NCDWQ an annual monitoring report, no later than December 31St of
each year for five consecutive years after the first full growing season, describing the conditions
of the Parcel and relating those conditions to the success criteria detailed above. Reports will be
submitted annually and shall contain the following:
1. A US Geological Survey Map showing the location of the Bank;
2. A detailed narrative summarizing the condition of the Bank and all regular
maintenance activities;
3. Appropriate topographic maps showing location of sampling plots, permanent photo
points, location of transects, etc.;
4. Monitoring data, including specific vegetative counts and photographs; and
5. A copy of the Bank credit/ debit ledger.
4,2 Parcel Maintenance
Adaptive measures will be developed or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the
event that the site or a specific component of the site fails to achieve the success criteria outlined
in Section 3.3. Site maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the site
that have a high likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include but are not limited to
excess tree mortality caused by fire, flooding, drought or insects. Any actions implemented will
be designed to achieve the success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated
monitoring criteria.
5.0 Mitigation Potential
5.1 Bank Credits
Use of credits from the Bank to offset development requiring nutrient offset payments authorized
by state certifications must be in compliance with 15A NCAC 2B .0234 (Wastewater Discharge
Requirements), 2B .0235 (Basinwide Stormwater Requirements), 2B .0240 (Nutrient Offset
Payments), and 2B .0242 (Mitigation program for protection and maintenance of existing
riparian buffers) under such authority as established in SL 2007-438. All activities will be
Deer Water Farm Page 6
HUC 03020202 - Draft BPDP
0
consistent with rules adopted by the Environmental Management Commission and all other
applicable authorities.
Approximately 21.5 acres of land on the site will be protected with a permanent conservation
easement or restrictive covenant. Out of the 21.5 acres, 20.5 acres will be restored for nutrient
offset mitigation credit. The remaining 1 acre within the project area will be restored and
protected with a conservation easement or restrictive covenant, however this area is farther than
200 feet from top of the channel banks and no credits are being requested. The Parcel will
generate a total of 46,596 Nitrogen Credits at 2,273 credits per acre.
Wildlands will maintain one credit ledger for nutrient offset credits which are generated from
areas 0 feet to < 200 feet in width on agricultural ditches. The ledger shall record the area of
available buffer and all associated debits and credits. No credits or debits to the ledger shall be
made without the written concurrence of DWQ or its designee and Wildlands. All written
concurrences shall be kept in the ledger.
S, 2 Proposed Service Area
The Parcel is being established to provide mitigation credit to compensate for impacts from
development requiring nutrient offset payments within the service area depicted in Figure 1.
This service area consists of Hydrologic Unit 03020202, including portions of the Cities of
Goldsboro, Greenville, Kinston, and New Bern and the Counties of Beaufort, Craven, Greene,
Jones, Lenoir, Pitt, and Wayne. A specific geographic limit of applicability in no way
compromises any state agency's ability to accept or reject the use of a bank site for any given
buffer impact.
S.3 Financial Assurance
Following approval of the Deer Water Farm BPDP, Wildlands shall provide a Letter of Credit, or
alternately a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M.
Best. The Letter of Credit or Bond amount shall be two times the estimated cost for
implementation of the restoration plan. The current estimated cost of implementation is $45,000
including minor site grading, planting, construction oversight and as-built survey and reporting.
Based on this estimate, the Letter of Credit or Bond amount shall be $90,000. After completion
of construction, a Monitoring Bond or Letter of Credit will be substituted for the Performance
Bond or Letter of Credit. The Penal Sum of said Monitoring Bond or Letter of Credit shall be
for two times the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan. The
Monitoring Bond or Letter of Credit shall be in effect for a period of five years, and shall decline
in total amount each year by an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the original sum upon
the submittal of each scheduled monitoring report to NCDWQ.

Dear Mr. Jenkins:
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, significant
natural heritage areas, or conservation/managed areas at the site nor within a mile of the project area.
Although our maps do not show records of such natural heritage elements in the project area, it does not
necessarily mean that they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The
use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the
project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural
areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at www.ncnhp.org for a listing of
rare plants and animals and significant natural communities in the county and on the quad map. Our
Program also has a new website that allows users to obtain information on element occurrences and
significant natural heritage areas within two miles of a given location:
<http://nhpweb.enr.state.nc.us/nhis/public/gmap75 main.phtml>. The user name is "public" and the
password is "heritage". You may want to click "Help" for more information.
•
NC OneMap now provides digital Natural Heritage data online for free. This service provides site
specific information on GIS layers with Natural Heritage Program rare species occurrences and
Significant Natural Heritage Areas. The NC OneMap website provides Element Occurrence (EO) ID
numbers (instead of species name), and the data user is then encouraged to contact the Natural Heritage
Program for detailed information. This service allows the user to quickly and efficiently get site specific
NHP data without visiting the NHP workroom or waiting for the Information Request to be answered by
NHP staff. For more information about data formats and access, visit <www.nconemap.com>, then click
on "FTP Data Download", and then "nheo.zip" [to the right of "Natural Heritage Element Occurrences"]
