This report has been amended, see Appendix B, to include supplemental monitoring required by the
NCIRT to close the stream and wetland assets in 2019. The additional data consists of random plot
surveys in areas identified by the IRT during the 2019 site visit.
The report was revised a second time on 12/22/2020 to reflect chages to buffer mitigation assets.
A revised asset table and map have been included in the 12/23/2020 submission

Summary of changes to table below: DWR was not able to verify that this site was included on the "Grandfathered Buffer List' for
both location (downstream of Randleman Reservoir) and buffers out to 200' at 1:1 ratio. The revised assets below are based on the
buffer enhancement on Sandy Creek as stated in the 2009 Mitigation Plan and applying the 2013 DWR Buffer Memo to the buffer
component of Ut to Sandy Creek; tributary credits were referenced in the 2009 Mitigation Plan and the 2013 DWR Memo applied in
monitoring year 1.

Hey Melonie,
My recollection of a situation similar to this, was that the location of mitigation has to comply
with 0295 regardless of it being grandfathered prior to the rule, in order to use 0295 to generate
alternative credits. Therefore, in order to apply any of 0295 to the rule, the project has to meet the
locational requirements of the Rule. If the site isn't in the Randleman Watershed, it cannot be
used to gain additional mitigation under Rule 0295 (o) since it doesn't comply with the location
requirements of the Rule. The grandfathered memo for Randleman only allows the use of those
sites to generate credits under the old rules. I have copied Karen and Sue in case they have
anything to add that I missed.
Thank you for reminding me about this. I'm sorry it has been so long to get a response from me.
Thanks,
katie

Hey Katie,
Checking in on this to see if you had a chance to talk to Karon, we are trying to get our database and
asset tables correct for closeout in 2019.

Hey Melonie,
I'll get back to you soon on this. I have not forgotten about you. I need to check with Karen first before
I respond and she has been out sick since last Wednesday.

Subject: Verification of Buffer Rule application
Katie,
Please forgive me for repeating myself again and again and again.... I want to make sure I have the
interpretation of the application of the old DMS sites that were instituted under original buffer rule and
closing under current consolidated rule.
The Sandy Creek Charles Williams Site mitigation plan was completed in 2009 and the site was added to
the DWR grandfathered list (it has a G in our database). It is in Cape Fear 03 below the Randleman
reservoir but since it was grandfathered it is subject to the Randleman Rules with a potential buffer
width of 200 ft. Most of the project was in cleared pasture so will be restoration.
There is an area of the project where we excluded cattle and did some limited planting due to existing
mature buffer. I think that since this area was in monitoring at the time of the current rule this area is
eligible for alternative buffer, retroactive credit and I would like to apply the Enhancement of grazing
areas at 2:1 in this area.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Melonie
