Executive Summary
The first monitoring year (MY1) annual maintenance and monitoring of the Kittrell Hill Nutrient
Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Restoration Parcel (herein referred to as "Bank Parcel") is
complete. The Bank Parcel is a riparian area restoration project located approximately 1.8 miles
northeast of the Town of Farmville off Kittrell Hill Road, north of HWY 264 in Pitt County, NC
The primary objective is to establish Nutrient Offset and Neuse Buffer credits, provide mitigation
for Neuse Buffer and Neuse Nutrient offset payments within the Neuse River Basin, and/or to sell
resulting credits to third parties public or private. The major goals of the proposed riparian area
restoration project are to address agricultural runoff, including nutrients and sediment, protect the
project in perpetuity, and restore terrestrial and support aquatic habitat.
The Bank Parcel is located in a targeted local watershed (TLW) within the Neuse River basin
hydrologic unit code (HUC) 03020203070030 and NCDWR Subasin 030202. The Bank Parcel is
located in the headwaters of an unnamed tributary that flows into Little Contentnea Creek,
approximately one and half miles downstream of the project terminus.
As of the end of the first growing season (December, 2020) for the Bank Parcel, annual
monitoring is complete of the dedicated monitoring plots (N=17) as well as overall project status
and achieving success criteria. Approximate 14,500 bare root tree seedlings were planted (-821)
trees/ac) consisting of character species proposed in the BPDP (2020). The vegetation data reveal
successful tree establishment and rapid growth of a healthy and vigorous stand of character trees.
According to CVS vegetation plot data from seventeen (17) one (I) -are plots, tree survival is
between 10 and 20 trees/1-are equating to 404 to 809 trees/ac. Annual vegetation monitoring was
completed on December 17, 2020. The average survival for all character trees is —678 trees/ac.
The project target goal is 320 trees/ac at the end of 5 years and therefore the project has met
success criteria for MY within each plot and overall. First growing season vegetation data
shows there has been successful tree survival and growth revealing the riparian area restoration
was successful during the critical period following construction and regenerating competition
from herbaceous plants. Monitoring of the site shows the site is meeting success criteria for
planted vegetation and apparent evidence of additional leaf and stem growth late into the growing
season, thus improving chances for survival and rapid growth for subsequent years.

1.0 Mitigation Bank Summary
The first monitoring year (MY 1) annual maintenance and monitoring of the Kittrell Hill Nutrient
Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Restoration Parcel (herein referred to as "Bank Parcel") is
complete. The Bank Parcel is a riparian area restoration project located approximately 1.8 miles
northeast of the Town of Farmville off Kittrell Hill Road, north of HWY 264 in Pitt County, NC
(Appendix 1: Figure 1). The Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) was approved under the
Kittrell Hill Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) between the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (NCDWR) and Eco Terra Partners (ETP), the Bank Sponsor.
The Bank is approximately 18.3 acres (797,148 ft2) of a total 80 ac tract situated along a tributary
of Oldwoman Branch, a direct tributary to Little Contentnea Creek. The Bank Parcel is located in
a targeted local watershed (TLW) within the Neuse River basin hydrologic unit code (HUC)
03020203070030 and NCDWR Subasin 030202. The BPDP was approved for riparian buffer
and nutrient offset credit in the service area designated by Neuse River Basin HUC 03020203.
According to the as-buit survey and most recent DWR Buffer Mitgation Calculation Tool V.2
(Updated 1/17/20), the Bank Parcel is expected to generate 363,817 ft, riparain buffer credits
(RBC) as well as 21,147.061 lbs nitrogen nutrient offset credits (NOC).
The Bank Parcel is located in the
headwaters of an unnamed tributary that
flows into Little Contentnea Creek,
approximately one and half miles
downstream of the project terminus.
The Kittrell Hill Nutrient Offset and
Buffer Mitgation Bank will help to reduce
future sediment and nutrient loading into
the unnamed tributary and downstream
Little Contentnea Creek. It will also
improve terrestrial habitats along this
stream by establishing a riparian corridor
and allowing the land to undergo natural
succession to forested community types.
The area surrounding the stream was historically agricultural fields. The project will ultimately
restore forested riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas to a maximum of approximately 200
feet from the tops of banks of streams and ditches and will remove rotating crops and fertilizer
and sediment inputs. The restored Neuse River riparian buffer and surrounding riparian areas
will filter runoff from the surrounding farm fields, removing sediment and provide shading to
improve stream temperatures and aquatic habitat. Invasive vegetation will be treated as needed
within the project area to promote native vegetation.
1.1 Project Goals
According to the N.C. Division of Mitigation Services' (DMS) Neuse River Basin Restoration
Priorities (RBRP) document, amended 2018, the project will support the identified goals for the
TLW, as well as the overall HUC. As stated in the RBRP, restoration of riparian buffers and
adjacent riaprian areas to address agricultural runoff is a high priority for this 14-digit TLW HUC.
`,i Kittrell Hill Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank Annual Monitoring Report MY1
ec fte ra. DWR Project #: 2019-1261Q Page 1 January 2021

The major goals of the proposed restoration project are to address agricultural runoff, including
nutrients and sediment, protect the project in perpetuity, and restore terrestrial and support aquatic
habitats. The detailed goals and objectives are:
Reduce Nutrient Levels — Nutrient inputs will be decreased by filtering runoff and sequestering
nutrients dispersed from stormwater flows from agricultural fields. These nutrients will be
absorbed through the 200 ft wide riparian area restored with native woody vegetation. This goal
is supported by both the TLW and RBRP for reducing nutrient inputs to the Neuse River Basin.
Reduce Sediment Levels — Sediment inputs will be decreased by filtering runoff and attenuating
flood flows from agricultural fields through 200 ft wide riparian area restored with native woody
vegetation. This goal is supported by both the TLW and RBRP for reducing sediment inputs to
the Neuse River Basin.
Project Protection in Perpetuity — Implement a project in a TLW and record a conservation
easement. This goal is supported by the RBRP to protect aquatic habitat and surface waters.
Restore Terrestrial Habitat — Riparian areas will be restored with native vegation and invasive
vegetation will be managed. This goal is supported by the RBRP.
1.2 Existing Site Conditions
The riparian area restoration project contains approximately 18.3 acres of historically agricultural
fields planted with riparian tree and shrub species along two unnamed tributaries of Oldwoman
branch and ultimately Little Contentnea Creek (hereinafter referred to as UT1 and UT2, and also
referred to as 19-1261A and 19-1261B respectively by the NCDWR Stream/Buffer
Determination). This Annual Report represents a summary of the project development through
the first full growing season and initial stages of restoration to a functioning riparian corridor.
Both UT1 and UT2 are characterized as ditches further upstream before draining into intermittent
stream reaches (Figrue 2). The restored parcel is surrounded by fields currently in rotating row
crops and early successional herbaceous and woody vegetation in the near stream region and
restored riparian areas. Historical aerials denote that land use, including the configuration of both
channels on the project Parcel, has been consistent since 1950. UT1 enters the project Parcel
from the headwaters of a small flatwood drainage area, then joins UT2 before going under Kittrell
Hill Road and flowing into Oldwoman Branch.
NCDWR staff visited the project Parcel on November 19, 2019 to determine subjectivity of on -
site resources to the Neuse River buffer rules and their suitability for nutrient offset and riparian
buffer mitigation per 15A NCAC 02B .0240 and the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A
NCAC 02B 0.0295), respectively. The unnamed tributaries were determined suitable for nutrient
offset and riparian buffer mitigation in the Neuse River Basin.
`,i Kittrell Hill Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer Mitigation BankAnnual Monitoring Report MYl
ec fte ra. DWR Project #: 2019-1261Q Page 2 January 2021

2.0 Determination of Credits
Riparian area restoration was accomplished in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295) including the alternative mitigation option of restoration
activities along suitable ditches (15A NCAC 02B .0295(o)(8)). Credits proposed were in
accordance with the stream determination and site viability assessment:
a.) NCDWR Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Letter (Date: December
17, 2019)
b.) NCDWR On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (Date:
December 17, 2019)
All areas within 200 ft of the top of bank of subject streams and suitable ditches as measured
from the top of bank landward, are devoted to generating a type of mitigation credit. The Kittrell
Hill Parcel will generate a total of 363,817 ftZ of Neuse Riparian Buffer credits. Additionally, it
will generate 405,261 ftZ (21,147.061 lbs-Nitrogen) of nutrient offset credits. Credit reductions
occur at both UT1 and UT2 ditch reaches according to the Diffuse Flow Memo (NCDEQ, August
19, 2008). Mitigation credits generated are found in Table 2 and Figure 2 in Appendix 1 and are
based upon the most recent DWR Buffer Mitigation Calculation Tool v 2 (Updated 1/17/20) and
as -built survey (Appendix 3).
Credits Generated (BPDP vs As -Built)
BPDP: Proposed (Table 8)
Buffer: UT1 = 273,427 ftZ, UT2 = 95,911 ftZ, Total = 369,338 ftZ
NOC: UT1 = 17,197.831 lbs N, UT2 = 4,555.222 lbs N, Total = 21,752.990 lbs N
As -Built: Completed (Table 2)
Buffer: UT1 = 273,708 ftZ , UT2 = 90,109 ftZ, Total = 363,817 ftZ
NOC: UT1 = 17,404.406 lbs N, UT2 = 3742.654, Total = 21,147.061 lbs N
These differences are the result in a revision to the actual surveyed property boundary project
breaks along the NE/NW property lines compared to GIS parcel data resulting in credit reduction
along UT2(ditch) at the origin of UT2 (stream). In addition, a more accurate survey and drawings
resulted in more accurate credit calculations along all reaches.
2.1 Conservation Easement
The permanent conservation easement boundary has been marked with metal U-channel posts and
signage at sufficient distances to ensure easement integrity and prevent encroachment. Short-
term signage was placed initially showing the State contact information and not the long-term
steward now assigned to inform others farming adjacent to the project early in the growing season.
At the end of the first monitoring year, the Sponsor has now compiled with Section 5.4 of the
BPDP by erecting signage appropriately on existing metal posts with appropriate long-term
steward contact information and filled in areas lacking sufficient posts and signage discussed
during the As -Built field review June 16th, 2020.

DWR Project #: 2019-1261Q Page 3 January 2021

3.0 Parcel Development Summary
The project construction was completed in late March and early April 2020, following mitigation
plan approval. Eco Terra and supporting team members successfully planted and restored the
proposed areas dedicated for riparian buffer and adjacent riparian area restoration with high
quality native trees and shrubs as well as temporary and permanent seed covers.
3.1 Site Preparation
Areas of concern noted from the site viability for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset field visit
(DWR Letter: 12/17/19) were addressed to stabilize banks where culverts were removed as well
as manage erosion present before and potentially following construction. Culverts were removed
and the vicinity soils graded to promote sheet flow through the buffer. Temporary and permanent
seed mix was installed in any disturbed soil areas following debris removal and planted with
native trees to secure sediment from entering surface waters. Temporary and permanent seed
mixtures planted included Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and Indiangrass (Sorgastrum nutans),
switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), and big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), respectively as noted
in the BPDP. No invasive species were noted for herbicide treatment prior to construction. No
disking or tilling was necessary to prepare the site or remove any historic plow pan in the soil.
3.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Restoration of the riparian areas involved planting bare root one to two -year -old trees and shrubs
in designated planting zones based on soil wetness and in accordance with the mitigation plan. A
combination of machine and manual planting techniques were used depending on site conditions.
Construction and planting of the Kittrell Hill mitigation site occurred between March 301h and
April 1st, 2020, in accordance with the approved Bank Parcel Development Package and
Mitigation Banking Instrument (DWR Letter: 3/26/2020). The entire area proposed for
restoration and development of riparian buffer and nutrient offset credits was planted with native
trees and shrubs. Differences in stem density and quantities occurred relative to the proposed
planting list in the mitigation plan due to plant availability at the time as well as the late timing of
the planting. Additional trees of the five species available at the time of planting were planted to
ensure success through the initial first growing season establishment period considering potential
early season dry weather, and herbaceous competition.
Trees planted included 4,000 (27.5%) laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), 3,750 (25.9%) willow oak
(Quercus phellos), 3,750 (25.9%) water oak (Quercus nigra), 500 (3.4%) green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), and 2,500 (17.2%) silky dogwood (Cornus amomum). Total site tree density
achieved was between 700-800 trees/ac and sometimes higher to ensure survival during the first
growing season. Approximately 14,500 stems (821 stems/ac) were planted within the riparian
areas designated for restoration (Table 3b).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a sufficient density of stems was planted to achieve
260 trees/ac at the end of a minimum five-year project monitoring period whereby no one tree
species planted was greater than 50% of the planted stems, and a minimum of four native
hardwood tree and native shrub species were planted. In total, five (5) species were selected and
planted in specific areas depending on soil type, landscape position, soil wetness, community type,
and reference forest stands nearby. Initial vegetation management post planting included specific
CCO�Ci i C7. Kittrell Hill Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank Annual Monitoring Report MY1
DWR Project #: 2019-1261Q Page 4 January 2021

preemergent herbicide band application over planted trees for herbaceous competition that may
compete with planted stems, conducted by a North Carolina licensed applicator.
4.0 Annual Monitoring and Performance Criteria
The Mitigation Program Requirements for Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Buffers (15A
NCAC 02B .0295) set forth specific performance criteria for the successful development and
close-out of the Kittrell Hill Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank. Performance
criteria monitoring includes standardized vegetation plot establishment and annual monitoring for
planted stems including individual plot photo documentation, overall site photo documentation,
biannual visual assessments for project status and easement integrity including herbaceous and/or
invasive species competition, stem mortality, stand health, incidental damage from agricultural
equipment, and stem loss or damage from natural causes such as fire, disease, or animal predation.
Figure 3 (Appendix 1) illustrates the location of the project easement, permanent vegetation
plots/photo points, as well as overall site photo points.
4.1 Vegetation
Seventeen (17) permanent vegetation plots were established according to the most recent Carolina
Vegetation Survey (CVS) protocol within the restored buffer area. Representative vegetation
plots were established at a minimum density of 2% of the planted area. Specifically, vegetation
monitoring was obtained for all plots according to Level 1-2 protocols from the CVS-EEP
Protocol for Recording Vegetation V4.2 (2008) manual. Monitoring year one (MY I) vegetation
stem data is included in Appendix 5, Table 3a.
4.2 Photo Reference Stations
Individual plot photos taken at the southwest corner (origin) of each plot are included in this
monitoring report. Additional Parcel reference photos (N=17) were taken at designated points
along the conservation easement boundary providing an overall view of the project success
(Appendix 1: Figure 3). All photo points were located by survey and georeferenced for map
production to provide a consistent means for photo replication annually and in the event a plot or
photo location must be reestablished during the monitoirng period. Photo orientation (direction
and bearing) were recorded as well as approximate vertical position for consistency in photo
logging.
4.3 Visual Assessments
Additional observations were made of site conditions and vegetation conditions outside of
monitoring plots. This biannual effort will be made in order to appropriately monitor changing
site conditions and address any issues to ensure Bank success and performance criteria are met
after the monitoring period. Any site problems will be noted and discussed in the annual reports
and monitored biannually to ensure performance criteria are met following any remedial action.
ETP supporting staff visited the Bank Parcel four (4) times during the first growing season to
monitor site conditions and success. Deer browsing and field rat mortality was evident on some
planted stems as well as incidental mowing of plot trees from herbaceous cover control. Overall
the project is performing well and should continue this success into the second growing season.
CCO�Ci i C7. Kittrell Hill Nutrient Offset and Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank Annual Monitoring Report MY1
DWR Project #: 2019-1261Q Page 5 January 2021

4.4 Annual Reporting Performance Criteria
All monitoring reports, including this report, will be compiled and submitted to NCDWR
annually in accordance with the Mitigation Banking Instrument. Annual monitoring will occur
for a minum of five years or until performance criteria are met.
4.5 Maintenance and Contingency Plans
Any site observations identified through vegetation plots or visual assessments, whereby the
performance criteria is not met, will be noted and discussed in the annual reports and addressed
with a contingency plan as necessary. NCDWR will be notified, and if necessary, collaborate
with Eco Terra to develop a contingency plan with remedial action steps to correct the
performance criteria deficiency. Any contingency plan and remedial actions will occur within an
agreed timeframe and monitoring adjusted accordingly, if necessary. Site problem areas will be
monitored biannually to ensure performance criteria are met following any remedial action.
Mowing between planting rows was completed during the Fall in order to manage herbacous
cover and competition, allow for easier predation of herbivores, and allow for easier access to
planting rows for supplemental tree planting. As addressed in the Final As -Built Report,
additional trees (up to 5 new species) will be distributed across the restoration area to increase
overall tree diversity, species distribution from the original planting plan, and any mortality areas
found during annual monitoring.
