Preservation Letter -Howell Woods Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site January 2011 I. INTRODUCTION This Preservation Letter presents 27,250 LF of stream preservation and 100.6 acres of forested wetland preservation at the Howell Woods Mitigation Site in Johnston County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The Howell Woods site is located between Mill Creek and the Neuse River approximately 7.5 miles southeast of Smithfield. The proposed easement encompasses 135 acres of Bottomland Hardwood Forest and Cypress-Gum Swamp on the Neuse River floodplain. Specifically, the site is located at Latitude 35.380 Longitude -78.284, and is mapped on the Four Oaks NE and Newton Grove, NC USGS Quadrangles (Figure 2). The proposed Howell Woods easement protects the north side of Mill Creek. The southern side of Mill Creek across from the Howell Woods easement is protected under existing conservation easements established for Westbrook, Cox, and Cox I[ mitigation sites (Figure 2A). The Howell Woods Environmental Learning Center is anon-profit entity owned and operated by Johnston County Community College. The 2,800-acre property is actively managed for timber production, wildlife, fishing, environmental education, and passive recreation. A sand quarrying lease provides additional funding for operating expenses. The proposed permanent conservation easement area is currently mature hardwood forest with a high timber value. A letter from Mr. David Johnson, President of Johnston Community College, addresses the current goals and objectives of the college (Appendix A). The current Strategic Plan for Howell Woods forest management plan does not identify these proposed preservation areas for timber harvest. The current Strategic Plan does call fora "standard no cut or no disturbance for any blue-line stream or other identified wetland on Howell Woods to be a minimum of 100 feet as measured from the bank of the stream or edge of the wetland and wider when possible." The core fund raising, public relations, and marketing section specifically allows and encourages the pursuit of permanent protection of these habitats through various legal mechanisms to achieve the college's goals. As quoted from Mr. Johnson's letter, "should circumstances prevail, the college expects to change its plan and allow for property disturbance in order to achieve planned financial objectives for Howell Woods." It is foreseeable that future economic and management factors will lead to timber harvesting in this bottomland hardwood forests given the considerable projected yield from the mature stands. Recordation of the proposed permanent conservation easements will protect the high-value forests that buffer the streams in perpetuity. The purpose of this project is to generate sh•eam and wetland preservation mitigation credits for the Neu-Con Umbrella Mitigation Bank. The site is consistent with applicable federal guidance and the provisions of the Neu-con Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI). The legal limits of the preservation site will be finalized when the conservation easement is recorded. The parcel boundaries and proposed easement limits displayed in the report are based on Johnston County GIS data and GIS data provided by the Howell Woods Environmental Learning Center. The final recorded conservation easement will be consistent with the Neu-Con MBI Section LF, IILE. Consistent with the Neu-Con MBI, mitigation credits may be used to offset stream and wetland impacts authorized by Section 404 permits. Typically, credits will be debited at a 2: l ratio (Section LF.3 Neu-Con MBI). One of these credits must be restoration, and the remaining credit maybe any combination of restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation. The Howell Woods Mitigation Site stream and wetland mitigation credits will be used in conjunction with restoration credits in the hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03020201. The stream preservation is presented with a mitigation ratio of 7.5:1, and has a total of 3,633 stream mitigation credits. The WK Dickson & Co., Inc. Preservation Letter -Howell Woods Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site January 2011 wetland prese-vation is presented with a mitigation ratio of 5:1, and has a total of 20 wetland mitigation credits (Table 1).

STUDY AREA PHYSIOGRAPHY, TOPOGRAPHY, AND DRAINAGE The Howell Woods mitigation site is located in the Upper Neuse River Basin within the USGS HUC 03020201 and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) sub-basin 03-04-04. The site is in the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province, but is close to the Fall Line. The underlying geology is the Cape Fear Formation, and is composed of sandstone, muddy sandstoue, and clay. The site is located on the Neuse River Floodplain, and has relatively flat topography with elevations ranging from 84 to 108 feet above mean sea level (NAD 27) based upon USGS mapping (Figure 2). The preservation area drains into Mill Creek and, uhimately, the Neuse River. Natw•al drainage patterns throughout the watershed have been largely unaltered. A few sloughs, drainage ways, and dirt roadbeds influence the drainage patterns on the Howell Woods property. The dominant land use in the project vicinity is woodlands and agricultural production. A sand and gravel pit is leased out on the property. The proposed conservation easements consist of forested stream buffers and Bottomland Hardwood Forest wetlands. SOIL MAPPING There are six soil types mapped across the proposed preservation area (Table 2). The predominant soil type within the sU•eam preservation buffer is the Wehadkee-Chastain association (81 percent). This soil unit is frequently flooded, and exits on 109.4 acres throughout the northern portions of the preservation site (Figure 3). The soils found along Mill Creek in the southern portions of the site consist of Alta vista fine sandy loam, Bibb sandy loam, Roanoke loam, Tarboro loamy sand, and Warne loam. All soils are either occasionally or frequently flooded, with the exception of Tarboro loamy sand, which is rarely flooded. Table 2.

Warne soil is somewhat poorly drained, and Alta vista is moderately well-drained. All of the soil map emits on the preservation site are on the North Carolina hydric soil list except Tarboro loamy sand. PROTECTED SPECIES The Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database and US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) county listing were used to identify state and federally protected species that occur in Johnston County. These species are listed in Table 3. No protected species were observed during the field evaluations conducted on the site. Suitable habitat for Virginia least tt•illium (Trillium pusillann var. virgrniamrm) and cerulean warbler (Dendroica cerzrlea) are found on the site. In 2000, Harry LeGrand noted the call of a male cerulean warbler at the site. WK Dickson & Co., Inc.

This could provide benefits to state and federally listed species that utilize the Neuse River and other riverine habitats downstream of the Howell Woods site. Protected species that might benefit from improved downstream water quality include the state threatened Creeper mussel ($h~ophi~hrs undulates) and Bald Eagle (Haliaeetars IearcocePhales), as well as the federally endangered Dwarf Wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and Tar River Spiny mussel (Elliptio steuastansana).

Preservation Letter -Howell Woods Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site January 2011 The NHP database lists ten element occurrences within the Howell Woods site. Individual species occurrences include thick-pod white wild indigo (Baptisia alba), water violet (Hoftonia inflata), and Carolina bogmint (Macbridea carolinrana). None of these species are federally listed as threatened or endangered. Significant natural communities include cypress-gum swamp (brownwater subtype) and coastal plain bottomland hardwoods (brownwater subtype). A significant natural heritage area (SNHA) designation encompasses most of the site. CULTURAL RESOURCES A search of the files at the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office revealed no historic structures within aone-mile radius of the proposed preservation site. No structures were observed during site visits. A review of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) database shows the Bentonville Battleground, an 1865 Civil War battle site covering several square miles, is located approximately 0.5 mile south of the proposed Howell Woods preservation site. No impacts to cultural resources are expected from this project. ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING An Environmental Data Resources (EDR) Radius Map with GeoCheck report was ordered to perform an environmental screening of the preservation site (Appendix B). An historic photo report and an historic mapping report were also reviewed. The EDR GeoCheck report includes searches of 15 Federal Databases and 55 State and Local databases. None of these databases revealed any mapped database occunrences. Forty-two unmapped database elements were identified. Based on the element sheet addresses, none was in the project vicinity or immediately up-gradient of the proposed conservation easement. III. EXISTING CONDITIONS The site is located on the floodplain of the Neuse River between Smithfield and Goldsboro. The floodplain iswide-reaching four miles across-and is part of the Middle Neuse River Macrosite described by the NHP in the Johnston county Natural Areas Inventory (June 2001). This area is described as having a number of unique sites, although most are unprotected and in private ownership. This extensive and mature forest provides habitat far neo-tropical migrating birds and upland game species. The NHP has identified this area on the Neuse River as a significant floodplain in North Carolina, especially in the extent of mature Bottom Land Hardwood Forest. HYDROLOGY Due to the flat topography, the floodplain is subject to frequent flooding from the Neuse River, bringing high sediment loads to this site. A number of streams and sloughs on this extensive floodplain drain the adjacent upland and the nearly level floodplain, connecting numerous wetland habitats and providing diverse aquatic habitat. In addition, these streams provide a drainage network after flood events. In general, hydrology of the wetlands on the floodplain are derived from flooding of the Neuse River, causing over bank flooding of the stream channels and seasonal high water table elevation controlled by level topography and stream water surface elevation. The wetland assessment found that the preservation area is almost entirely jurisdictional wetland. Small areas ofnon-wetland are present, including access roads, dredge spoil, and small areas of slightly elevated topography. Within the preservation area, Mill Creek, a perennial stream (S1), and three smaller perennial unnamed tributaries are present, Sl-A, S1-B, and S1-C (Figure 3). These smaller perennial streams flow six to nine months or more, and have stow to stagnant current during the driest times. These streams rely on rainfall and groundwater flow from the numerous wetlands located WK Dickson & Co., Inc. 9 Preservation Letter -Howell Woods Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site January 2011 across the floodplains. Other more variable hydrology influences are flood events and beaver impoundments. The perennial stream S 1 is divided into two segments. These streams converge and flow into Mill Creek. STREAM ASSESSMENT The Mill Creek portion of this preservation site is a large, perennial stream with a sand bed, deep pools, and frequent riffles (Table 4). This section of Mill Creek supports recreational fishing and a significant aquatic site downstream. Mill Creek is adjacent to existing permanent conservation easements for the Cox, Cox II, and Westbrook mitigation sites. The proposed preservation includes Mill Creek and four unnamed hibutaries, totaling 27,250 linear feet of stream channel. Table 4. Proposed Stream Preservation Reach Name Len th F Channel Width -feet Channel De th feet Mill Creek-segment 1 6,665 20 to 40 4 to 8 Mill Creek-segment 2 148 20 to 40 4 to 8 Sl-segment 1 2,523 25 to 30 2 to 6 S 1-segment 2 1,171 25 to 30 4 to 6 S 1-A 8,644 15 to 20 2 to 4 S l-B 6,418 15 to 30 2 to 4 S 1-C 465 15 to 25 2 to 4 S2 1216 25-30 2 to 6 Total 27,250 Mill Creek has an approximate width of 20 to 40 feet, and bank heights of four to eight feet. The Unnamed Tributary to Mill Creek 1 (S1) is divided into three segments. S1 has been dredged in the past, but is stable, and supports a mature forest buffer. The this segment varies as the channel width changes. Sl-A, S1-B, and S1-C are first-order streams that have low gradients, and become stagnant in low-flow periods. They have mucky bottoms, and cypress trees and aquatic vegetation are common throughout. These swamp streams provide important physical, water quality, and biological functions in the Upper Neuse Watershed. WETLAND ASSESSMENT Due to the uniform nature of the site, flat topography, and allowance for small non-wetland inclusions, a wetland delineation was not performed on the proposed preservation site. Rather, five representative locations along the buffer were selected for a more detailed vegetation analysis and wetland assessment as described in Natural Communities Section below. A wetland determination data form (Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain region) was completed for this community (Appendix C). This included recording the dominant vegetation in each stratum, soil boring to at least 18 inches, and recording primary and secondary wetland hydrology indicators (USAGE, 1987). The wetland assessment found that the preservation area is mostlyjurisdictional wetland. Small areas ofnon-wetland are present in areas of slightly elevated topography. An elevated berm (6.0 acres) composed of spoil material on the right bank (west) of S l was not included in the wetland preservation area. The vegetation is dominated by FAC and FACW species and is described in detail in the Natural Communities section of this report. Both soil mapping and on-site soil WK Dickson & Co., Inc. 10 Preservation Letter -Howell Woods Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site January 2011 borings demonstrate hydric soils are present across the proposed preservation site. Soils map units are described above. Wetland hydrology indicators included water table within 12 inches of the surface, water stained leaves, crayfish chimneys, and positive FAC-neutral test. Onsite wetlands primarily have a Cowardin classification of Palustrine Forested Broad-leaved Deciduous Saturated/Temporarily Flooded (PFO1B/A). WATER QUALITY Mill Creek and the unnamed tributaries are classified as WS-IV NSW by DWQ. The primary classification "WS-IV" indicates waters as a Water Supply IV -Highly Developed watershed. These waters are used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes where a less developed watershed classification (WS-1, II or III) is not feasible. WS-[V waters are generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds or protected areas. These waters are also protected for Class C uses. Class C waters support aquatic life and secondary recreational uses. The supplemental classification NSW denotes nutrient sensitive waters that are subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation, and may need additional nutrient management. Mill Creek discharges into the Neuse River approximately six miles downstream of the mitigation site. The Neuse River is listed as Water Supply V, Nutrient Sensitive Waters at its confluence with Mill Creek. Water Supply V waters are protected as water supplies, which are generally upstream and draining to Water Supply IV waters or waters used by industry to supply their employees with drinking water or as waters formerly used as water supply. These waters are also protected for Class C uses. Much of the flood plain surrounding these streams is comprised of wetlands. The streams flow through the wetlands, interconnecting these habitats. The extensive buffers along these channels stabilize the soil and wetlands, preventing down-cutting and erosion. The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) identifies these streams and the surrounding floodplain as having a Cowardin classification of Palustrine Forested Broad-leaved Deciduous Temporarily Flooded (PFO1 A). A wetland assessment was not performed at this site. NATURAL COMMUNITIES The site evaluation identified two distinct natural communities along the floodplain: a mature Bottomland Hardwood Forest and aCypress-Gum Swamp (Figure 4). Detailed descriptions of the natural communities are provided below. WK Dickson performed a vegetation survey across the preservation area. Five l/10`h acre plots were established in representative buffer locations to quantify the forest stand parameters and delineate the existing natural communities. Within each vegetation plot, all trees ?3-inch DBH were identified and measured. All shrub species and herbaceous species were identified. The height of one canopy tree was determined in each plot and representative photographs were taken at each plot. Species and dbh was recorded and basic vegetation plot data was calculated from variables collected (Table 5). Although the evaluation identified one community type, a mature Bottomland Hardwood Forest, aCypress-Gum Swamp is present within the channels and in limited areas outside the channels.

The mature hardwoods form a dense canopy. The shrub and herb sh•ata range for relatively open to locally dense. The canopy height ranges from to 80 to lS0 feet. Several sloughs are present off of the stream channels and offer open water habitat diversity. Evidence of fre0uent flooding was found across the site, including watermarks on trunks and infrequent low wrack lines in small shrubs and brush. Flooding was observed for one week during the site survey, limiting access to portions of the site. The dominant bottomland trees include cherrybark oak (Querces pagoda), overcup oak (Qaaercars lyrata), swamp chestnut oak (Qarercus michaarxii), sweetgum (Ligaridambar styraciflea), willow oak (Qeercus phellos), red maple (Ater rebrunr), green ash (Fra~ines perasylvanica), and American elm (Ulnaus aanericana). Slightly wetter bottomlands have higher densities of overcup oak (Qeerces lyrata), and the drier areas contain loblolly pines (Pines taeda). The sub-canopy is diverse, featw~ing American honlbeam (Carpimas caroliniana), sweetgum, overcup oak, red maple, and winged ehn (Ulners alata) as dominant species. The shrub layer is variable, containing possumhaw holly (Iles decidea), American holly (Ilex opaca), and numerous small saplings. Giant cane (Arendhaaria gigantea) is abundant. The herbaceous layer is mostly sparse except in areas of thin canopy and canopy gaps, which contain a variety of sedges, common rush (Juncaas eff""arses), smallspike false nettle (Boehrneria cylindrical), and netted chain fern (Woodwardia areolata). Woody vines include greenbriar (Smilax sp.), crossvine (Bignonia capreolatcr), muscadine (Vitis sp.), and poison ivy (Toxicodeaadron radians). The mature bottomland hardwood community most closely resembles the Coastal Ptaiu Bottomland Hardwoods (Brownwater Subtype) described in Schafale and Weakley, and is classified as a Bottomland Hardwood Forest using the draft NC Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) dichotomous key to general NC wetland types. Although Mill Creek originates in the coastal plain and is a blackwater stream, the regular flooding of the nearby Neese River provides substantial nutrient input to this forest community within the proposed preservation area. Therefore, this site is classified as a Brownwater Subtype community. Dishu~bance is minimal and includes hunting trails and damage from wild boars (Ses scrofa). This is a high quality stream and wetland ecosystem, and a wetland mitigation ratio of S:1 is recommended.

Natural Communities 0 750 1,500 3,000 w r E Howell Woods Feet Stream & Wetland Preservation 1 inch =1,500 feet s January 2011 January 2011 Cypress-Gum Swamp This swamp community is mostly found adjacent to stream channels, sloughs, and depressions. This linear forest community is discontinuous along the chancel, has limited canopy breaks, and shades the channels. It is dominated by bald-cypress (Tarodiaur~ distichurn), swamp tupelo (Nyssa biflora), and eastern cottonwood (Po~idus deltoicJes). Sweetgum and overcup oak also occur regularly in this commw~ity along with other individuals common in the Bottomland Hardwood Forest community. The main understory trees are American hon~beam and Carolina ash (Fr•axinus caroliniana). Various sedges are present in the shallow water and margins, along with forbs such as lizard's tail (Saan~an~us cermrrrs) and smallspike false nettle. This commucity is permanently saturated and semi-permanently flooded due to topography and beaver impoundments. Smal] areas of open water are present because of wind damage and microtopography. The water was typically 0-18 inches above the ground surface at the time of the vegetation survey. Watermarks were visible on many trees. The mahu~e swamp forest community most closely resembles aCypress-Gum Swamp (Brownwater Subtype) described in Schafale and Weakley, and is classified as a Riverine Swamp Forest using the draft NCWAM dichotomous key to general NC wetland types. This community has few invasive species, and disturbance is limited to hunting trails, beaver impoundments, past timber harvesting, and damage from wild boars. This is a high quality stream and wetland ecosystem, and a wetland mitigation ratio of 5:1 is recommended. IV. MITIGATION ASSESSMENT The Howell Woods Preservation Site is a unique acd valuable stream and aquatic ecosystem. The stream and riparian areas provide diverse aquatic habitat and water quality benefits to floodwaters from the Neuse River and Mill Creek. The adjacent wetland areas provide macy complementary water quality and habitat functions within the sensitive Neuse River watershed. The discussion below details the wetland and water quality functions of the site, as well as its unique ecological attributes. WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT The Howell Woods preservation area is frequently flooded by the Neuse River and Mill Creek. Figure 5A depicts the flood frequency on the Neuse River at the US 70 bridge in Smithfield, approximately nine miles upstream of the project, for 2004-2008. Figure SB depicts the flood frequency on the Mill Creek downstream of the site at Cox Mill, approximately three miles downstream of the project, for 2004-2008. Several flood events have been recorded that inundated the preservation area.

Mill Creek Hydrograph 2005-2010 WK Dickson & Co., Inc. 15 Preservation Letter - Howell Woods Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site January 2011 Mill Creek is listed as Class C Nutrient Sensitive Waters by DWQ. The primary classification "C" indicates waters that support aquatic life and secondary recreational uses, The supplemental classification denotes nutrient sensitive waters that may need additional nutrient management because they are subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. Mill Creek discharges into the Neuse River approximately seven miles downstream of the preservation site. The Neuse River is listed as Water Supply V Nutrient Sensitive Waters. Water Supply V waters are protected as water supplies which are generally upsh~eam and draining to Water Supply [V waters, or waters used by industry to supply their employees with drinking water or as waters formerly used as water supply. These waters are also protected for Class C uses, Three ambient water quality-monitoring stations and one benthic macroinvertebrate monitoring station are located upstream of the project area on Hannah Creek, a tributary to Mill Creek. The monitoring stations are supported by the NCDWQ Basinwide assessment water quality monitoring on the Neuse River basin. In addition, there is one benthic macroinvertebrate monitoring station on Mill Creek downsh~eam of the site at Cox Mill. Hannah Creek receives discharge from the Benson WWTP. Hamlah Creek, from its som~ce to NC 96, is on the 303(4) for aquatic life due to a fair benthic bioclassification and a low dissolved oxygen standards violation. From NC 96 to Mill Creek, Hannah Creek is Not Rated for aquatic life due to extreme low flow conditions. This site was rated twice as Good-Fair (1995, 2001), and twice as Fair (1991, 2000). In September 2005 it received a Not Rated bioclassi6cation. The conditions found at this location in 2005 were possibly impacted by extreme low flow conditions. Mill Creek was Not Rated for aquatic life due to the extreme low flow conditions during the most recent sampling period. This site had been sampled three times before 2005.On each previous occasion, it was rated Good-Fair. UNIQUE ECOLOGICAL ATTRIBUTES The Howell Woods site lies within the NHP-designated Middle Neuse River Macrosite, which also contains the Cowbone OxbowslSage Pond Natural Area, Brogden Bottomlands, Riverside Church Bottomlands, Richardson Bridge Bottomlands, and Mill Creek Aquatic Habitat areas the NHP has designated SNHAs. This area encompasses the Neuse River and floodplain areas near the preservation site. The Neuse River Waterlog, Roanoke bass, and North Carolina spiny crayfish are rare species known to occm~ within this macrosite (NC NHP). This area contains NHP natural community element occurrences for coastal plain bottomland hardwoods (brownwater subtype) and cypress-gum swamp (brownwater subtype). The Carolina bogmiut and Cerulean warbler have been observed on the Howell Woods property. The Howell Woods preservation area provides suitable habitat for a wide range of species, and prevents potential fragmentation of the Neuse River floodplain in that vicinity. The most desirable species of hardwoods have demanding site requirements, surviving and growing well only on a comparatively narrow range of sites. This site is within this narrow range for hardwoods. Quality of hardwoods is a major consideration in the unique attributes of this site. This site provides water quality benefits due to its location downstream of a 3034 classified stream. The water quality benefits directly improve water quality flowing into the Neuse River and the sensitive species present. The south side of Mill Creek is clu~rently protected ~mder existing conservation easements established for Westbrook, Cox, and Cox 1[ mitigation sites. The WK Dickson & Co., Inc. 16 Preservation Letter -Howell Woods Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site January 2011 proposed Howell Woods easement will protect the north side of Mill Creek adjacent to the existing mitigation site easement. WETLAND MITIGATION CREDITS Based on the high quality wetlands present, the benefits to water quality, and the unique ecological attributes, the Howell Woods preservation site will generate 3,633 stream mitigation credits and 20 wetland mitigation credits in HUC 03020201. These credits are based on a 7.5:1 mitigation ratio for streams and a S:l mitigation ratio for wetlands. The site is consistent with applicable federal guidance and the provisions of the Neu-con Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI). The legal limits of the preservation site will be finalized when the conservation easement is recorded. V. ADMINISTRATIVE AND REGULATORY ISSUES HUC SERVICE AREA The site will serve impacts in HUC 03020201. This HUC encompasses the upper Neuse River drainage area and its major and minor tributaries. The preserved streams are buffered by preserved bottomland hardwood forests and cypress-gum swamp wetland. These communities are considered riverine, as defined in 15A: NCAC2R0502(b) of Regulation. Consistent with the Neu-Con MBI, the Howell Woods Stream and Wetland Preservation Site will be used in conjunction with, and will supplement, restoration mitigation acreage being provided by EBX in HUC 03020201. The use and application of the credits will be consistent with LF.3 of the Neu-Con BMI. Under no circumstance will the preservation credits exceed 50 percent of the total credits being provided in HUC 03020201. The preservation credits may also be used in other authorized HUCs on a case-by-case basis, as approved by the MBRT. MONITORING A conservation easement monitoring data sheet has been created, and wiH be required to be maintained by the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation, Inc. (Appendix E). The monitoring sheet will be submitted annually to the Corps and DWQ after each annual site visit. These data sheets document observed adjacent land uses and naturalist observations, such as wildlife and plant life. The funding for monitoring is derived from the interest generated off of the required endowment fee charged by the qualified land trust discussed under the Conservation Easement section of this Preservation Letter Plan. The qualified land trust determines the amount of the endowment needed to properly fund the monitoring activities in perpehlity, and the endowment fee differs from site to site depending on the size and landscape position of the site. Site visits will be conducted annually unless the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation, Inc. is notified of unauthorized activities. Unauthorized activities will be investigated and reported immediately to the Corps and DWQ. Remedial action will be taken if required by the Corps and DWQ. CREDIT RELEASE The schedule of credit availability will be dictated by the provisions of IV E. l(a) of the Neu-Con MBI. It provides as follows: "For preservation acreage, the projected credit total shall be available for sale, and debiting, provided the following minimum requirements have been satisfied with regard to the Bank: (i) the Banking Instrument is executed and the Site Specific Mitigation Plan has been approved by the MBRT; (ii) credits are established consistent with Section LF3 WK Dickson & Co., Inc. 17 Preservation Letter -Howell Woods Stream and Wetland Mitigation Site January 2011 and the Site Specific Mitigation Plan; (iii) a conservation easemeut is placed ou a Bank Site or approved phase of a Bank Site; and (iv) appropriate financial assurances of a type and amount acceptable to the Carps and the MBRT have been established, only if such preservation acreage is used in conjunction with restoration or creation acreage and such financial assurance is necessary for the restoration and creation acreage." CONSERVATION EASEMENT Consistent with Section II[ G of the Neu-Con MBI, a conservation easement has been placed over the preserved areas in perpetuity. The easement was recorded in the chain of title, and is held by North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation, [nc. EBX Neuse [, LLC will pay the required endowment fee to the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation, Inc. A sample Deed of Easement is included in Appendix D. Consistent with Section II[ G2, to the extent a conservation easemeut is placed on acreage that is approved for credit release and the Bank Sponsor determines that such acreage will not be debited or used, such acreage may be released from the preservation requirement upon written notice to, and approval from, the MBRT. FINANCIAL ASSURANCES The Neu-Con MBl does not require financial assurances for preservation acreage (Section III F). Nevertheless, in order for preservation credits to be released, financial assurances must be placed on any restoration acreage used in conjunction with the preservation acreage (Section IV.E. I ). EBX presently maintains financial assurances not only for restoration acreage in the HUC, but also for the land value of the Howell Woods preservation acreage. These financial assurances exceed the requirements of the Neu-Con MBI. An endowment is placed with Wetlands America Trust, hre. This endowment is paid to the Grantee (easement holder) upon execution of the conservation easemeut. Wetlands America Tnrst, Inc. will not accept the conservation easement unless the endowment is established. The non-wasting endowment allows for annual site visits as well as some allowance for additional monitoring activities if these activities are deemed necessary by the Corps and DWQ. VL CONCLUSIONS The Howell Woods wetland preservation will generate 3,633 stream mitigation credits and 20 wetland mitigation credits for the Neu-Con Umbrella Mitigation Bank. The site is consistent with applicable federal guidance and the provisions of the Neu-con Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI). The Howell Woods stream and wetland mitigation credits will be used in conjunction with restoration credits in the hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03020201. The site is presented with mitigation ratios of 7.5: l for sh•eam preservation and 5: I for wetland preservation. The preservation easement acreages presented in this Preservation Letter are 135 acres. The legal limits of the preservation site will be finalized, and the conservation easement will be recorded in the Johnston County Register of Deeds. The parcel boundaries and proposed easement limits displayed in the report are based on a plat survey entitled "Conservation Easement Survey of the Howell Woods Preservation Site for EBX Neuse I, LLC, Johnston County, North Carolina".

Bryant, Jr. Howell Woods Environmental Learning Center Viee Chairman JOhnston County, North Carolina April Culver Dr. PhyuiS Ethridge ` .Dear Mr. Biddlecome, Ann Game I was disappointed to Team from Mr. Ely Perry of Environmental Banc and Bonn Hatch Exchange (EBX) that the Interagency Review Team (IRT} is considering not Allen L. Mims, Jr. allowing EBX to obtain Restoration Credits by purchasing a conservation James Narron ; easement from Johnston Community College's Howell Woods Douglas V. Oglesby ; Environmental Learning Center. It is my understanding the IK"1' questions Haywood A. Watson ' whether or not the resources are already protected from human impact due to Eldridge r. westbr°ok the Howell Woods's Strategic Plan. I am writing to address this concern. °un~°od w°odau Colle e leadershi believes lacin a conservation easement in g p P g perpetuity fulfills the objectives outlined in the Howell Woods Environmental Learning Joe Lorenzo '~ Center Strategic Plan adopted by the Johnston Community Colle e Board of studern g Trustees on September 3, 2009. This strategic plan is drvided into four core areas which include 1) natural resources management, 2) outdoor recreation and operations., 3) outdoor and environmental education, and 4) fund raising (to include raising funds through the sale of conservation easements), public relations and marketing. Howell Woods depends on outside funding sources and other opportunities to sustain its objectives. -The four core objectives are interdependent with each being important to the mission of Rowell Woods. ', Concern has been raised that the existing resources are already protected from potential human impacts due to the Strategic Plan. Section I, Goal I I, Objective 5, Strategy 1, the core natural resource management section (page 22) does call for "standard no cut or no disturbance for any blue-line stream or other identified wetland on Howell Woods will be a minimum of 100 feet as measured from the bank of the stream or edge of the wetland and wider 245 c°ne9e Roan when possible, Minimum distance from the bank of the Neuse River or P.t). Box 2350 ! Hannah/Mill Creek will be 300 feet." However, Section N, Goal 2, Smithfield, Nc z~5rt Objective 5, the core fund raising, public relations, and marketing section (918) 209.zoi, (page 39) calls for management to "research and explore options for vuuvw,johnsto ncc.edu land/property acquisition, and restorationand/or preservation of habitats and natural communities on the property through grants, partnerships, mitigation banks or other conservation easements that will pay for outright ownership andlarlong-term or pcrpctual casements:' In other words, should circumstances prevail; the college expects to change its plan and allow for property disturbance in order to achieve planned financial objectives for Howell Woods. Mr. Gordon Woodruff, legal counsel for Johnston Community College assures college leadership that the strategic plan is just that, a plan, and not a binding contract which cannot be changed. In fact, JCC sold an easement in 2001 for the purpose of wetland and stream mitigation through the Wetland Restoration Program (now Ecosystem Enhancement Program). Further, as you can see on page 42, Appendix 1, Howell Woods has a growth plan including additional staff. If the future need for funding requires us to cut portions of the forest that were planned to be buffered greater that the current laws require, we clearly have the ability to make the necessary change to the plan (as stated in the last paragraph of the Executive Summary). Howell Woods has a history of maximizing the use of its resources in a sustainable manner to achieve its objectives. Please take this commitment into consideration and allow for these unique natural resources to be protected in perpetuity through sale of a conservation easement to Environmental Banc and Exchange. I appreciate your positive review, If I can provide additional information, please contact me!

Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800's to 1950's to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production, such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non-volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil and groundwater contamination.

Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components: 1. Groundwater flow direction, and 2. Groundwater flow velocity. Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the geologic strata. TC2792753.2s Page A-1 GEOCHECK~ -PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY- GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional using site-specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers). TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

AQUIFLOW® Search Radius: 1.000 Mile. EDR has developed the AQUIFLOW Information System to provide data on the general direction of groundwater flow at specific points. EDR has reviewed reports submitted by environmental professionals to regulatory authorities at select sites and has extracted the date of the report, groundwater flow direction as determined hydrogeologically, and the depth to water table.

If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general, contaminant plumes move more quickly through sandy-gravelly types of soils than silty-clayey types of soils. GEOLOGIC INFORMATION IN GENERAL AREA OF TARGET PROPERTY Geologic information can be used by the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the relative speed at which contaminant migration may be occurring.
