Monitoring
J The Sponsor shall monitor each Bank Parcel as described in the BPDP until such time as
DWQ determines that the success criteria described below have been met The
monitoring period shall be a minimum of five years
K Vegetative Success Criteria Vegetative Success Criteria will be based upon the density
and growth of character tree species Character Trees are defined as planted or
volunteer species identified from a survey of local vegetation on less degraded sections of
the specified stream and from reference literature that details native species A list of
Character Tree species for each Bank Parcel will be detailed in the BPDP 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 this Guidance in place at the date of acceptance of a
BPDP) Success is defined as the survival of an average density of 320 desirable trees per
acre after five years If vegetative success criteria are not met supplemental plantings
may be required Supplemental plantings will be utilized until the required densities have
been achieved and maintained for five years Success criteria of the riparian buffer
restoration shall be based on the Carolina Vegetation Survey ( CVS ) EEP Protocol for
Recording Vegetation Level 1 2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4 0 or any updated versions
of this protocol in place at the date of acceptance of the BPDP
L Monitoring Reports for Riparian Buffer Credit or Nutrient Offset Credit (excluding
Stormwater BMPs) The Sponsor shall submit to the DWQ an annual monitoring report
no later than December 31 of each year for a minimum of five years after the first full
growing season This report will describe the conditions of each Bank Parcel including

year for a minimum of five years after the initial instal lation/renovation of the stormwater
BMP This annual monitoring report shall describe the conditions of each Bank Parcel
4
including an evaluation of the success criteria contained within the approved BPDP
Reports shall contain the following
1 A U S Geological Survey map showing location of the Bank Parcel(s) and
2 A detailed narrative summarizing the condition of the Bank Parcel(s) and all
regular maintenance activities and

4 Photographs of current conditions of the BMPs as well as photos showing any
maintenance that has been performed on the BMPs including the corresponding
dates
N Stormwater BMP Success Criteria The success of a stormwater BMP will be based upon
the type of BMP and its associated design criteria contained within the approved BPDP
For purposes of this agreement the design criteria shown in the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual dated October 2007 or
any updated versions of this manual and compliance with the approved operation and
maintenance agreements contained within the approved BPDP shall be the basis for
fudging the success of a specific device
Contingency Plans/Remedial Actions
O In the event the Bank Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria described in this
Instrument and the approved BPDP the Bank Sponsor shall develop necessary
contingency plans in coordination with the DWQ and implement appropriate remedial
actions for the Bank Parcel and the Bank Depending on the degree of remedial actions
required the DWQ may modify the monitoring period
Financial Assurances
P Following approval of the BPDP the Sponsor shall provide a Performance Bond from a
surety company that is rated no less than an A as rated by AM Best The
Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the
buffer restoration and/or stormwater BMP project as described in the approved BPDP
but not less than $150 000 00
Q Alternatively in lieu of posting the Performance Bond the Sponsor may elect to
construct the project prior to the first credit release
R 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 00 The Performance /Maintenance Bond
shall be in effect for a minimum of five years and until DWQ has released all mitigation
0
credits to the Bank Sponsor Upon DWQ approval this may be lowered each year based
on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring
VI CALCULATION OF MITIGATION CREDITS AND CREDIT RELEASE
SCHEDULE
A Riparian Buffer Credit may be achieved through mitigation of the DWQ riparian buffer
as defined in 15A NCAC 02B 0233 and per 15A NCAC 02B 0242
B Nutrient Offset Credit may be achieved through restoration of the riparian area adjacent
to surface water features Surface water features do not have to be intermittent or
perennial nor do they have to be depicted on a USGS NRCS or EMC approved map
The width of the restoration area begins at the most landward limit of the top of bank or
the rooted herbaceous vegetation and extends landward a maximum distance of 200 feet
on all sides of the surface water
C The mitigation accomplished in the DWQ riparian buffer as defined in 15A NCAC 02B
0233 and per 15A NCAC 02B 0242 may be used for either Riparian Buffer Credit or
Nutrient Offset Credit but not both
D Riparian Buffer Credit is defined as one (1) buffer credit per one square foot or 43 560
buffer credits per one acre
E Nutrient Abatement of Restored Riparian Buffer The Sponsor and DWQ agree
The pounds of nitrogen offset per acre of restored riparian buffer shall be two
thousand two hundred and seventy three pounds per acre (2 273 lbs /acre) or the
amount of nitrogen offset per acre pursuant to rule or statute at the time the BPDP
is approved
F The Sponsor and DWQ agree that the amount of Nutrient Offset Credit per acre shall be
fixed as part of the approval of each BPDP with the fixed amount not changing during
the development or credit release schedule for each Bank Parcel
G Nutrient Offset Credit of Installed/Renovated Stormwater Best Management Practices
The Sponsor and DWQ agree that the pounds of nitrogen and/or phosphorus available for
credit release from newly renovated or constructed stormwater BMPs shall be based upon
the design calculations /nutnent export calculations submitted to and approved by the
DWQ as part of the BPDP
