Comments Received (Black Text)&Responses(Blue Text)
EPA Comments,Todd Bowers:
1. General: EPA appreciates the care and analysis that went into designing a site that will limit the risk of
hydrological trespass, maximize water retention,allow for water table recharge and remove nutrients that may
runoff into the site.
Thank you.
2. Section 5/Page 11: Tree removal should be included in the objectives for restoring the wetland targeted
functions in Table 9 as this is integral in creating a more diverse variety of species and enhance understory
growth.
The following was added to the objectives column of Table 9, "Minimize existing tree monocultures through
selective tree removal and plant woody native vegetation."
3. Section 7.2/Page 14: What is the point of adding more trees at a higher density in the lower/depressed areas
(3.75 acres)?Why not plant fewer trees that are not tolerant of inundation and replace with inundation tolerant
species to achieve the 680 stems/acre density? Planting at a density of 1000 trees per acre seems wasteful and
excessive especially if over half of the trees are expected to die.
RS' acknowledges the additional costs associated with planting depressed areas in both non-riverine wet
hardwood forest(including understory species) and wet foot species.To ensure the Site meets the seven-year
vegetation success criteria, RS feels it is necessary to plant the depressed areas in species that can tolerate a
wide range of hydrologic conditions. Through our Site analysis and design process, we anticipate these areas
will remain inundated for longer periods of the growing season but cannot guarantee that they will. Thus, we
feel it is best to plant the Site to ensure success criteria are met and minimize the risk of remedial planting
during the monitoring period.
4. Section 8.1/Page 17: Recommend adding the number of consecutive days of the growing season needed to
meet the 12 percent of the growing season.This comment applies to Tables 15 and 16 Success Criteria as well.
A paragraph was added to Table 15 detailing the maximum growing season per the 2016 Wilmington District's
monitoring protocols, March 15t—November 20(265 days). 12 percent of the maximum growing season is 31.8
days, rounded up to 32.Table 16 was also updated to include the associated number of consecutive days.
5. Section 9/Page 19: Provide some examples of conditions that may require adaptive management and methods
or contingency plans to alleviate those conditions.
Conditions that may require adaptive management could be wide-ranging. Though scenarios could be
speculated in advance,we feel it is presumptuous to define specific scenarios and propose subsequent adaptive
management methods ahead of potential occurrences,as they would be lacking in detail. In addition,proposing
methods to alleviate those conditions would lack any specifics and ultimately require DMS and IRT approval
ahead of implementation.
Our experience with non-riparian wetland restoration has shown these projects to be low risk for failure. The
primary component to take into account for restoring this type of wetland is hydrology. Given RS' experience
with the existing non-riparian project adjacent to Sliver Moon 2,we have firsthand knowledge of the hydrology
in this area.We have utilized that experience and knowledge in the Sliver Moon 2 design.

6. Section 11.1/Page 19: For clarity please state,if accurate,that fencing will not be required for this project as the
adjacent land uses will not require such.
The following was added to Section 11.1, "Fencing will not be required for this project as the adjacent land-use
does not require it."
DWR Comments, Erin Davis:
1. Page 5, Section 2—Please clarify what is meant by the statement "requiring minimal long-term management"
regarding site wetland resources.
The statement has been removed from Section 2.
2. Page 6,Section 3.1—Currently, how deep are the interior and perimeter site ditches?
The following was added to Section 3.1, "Existing interior and perimeter ditches range from 1-4 feet in depth."
3. Page 10,Table 8—Considering the difference in land use and cover,should an NC WAM form be completed for
the existing forest areas?
An additional NC WAM form was completed for existing forest areas.The NC WAM summary is included in Table
8 and the rating sheet is included in Appendix B with the location identified on Figure 6.
4. Page 13,Section 7.1—What"imported elements and compounds" are being referenced?
NC WAM water quality function is divided into five sub-categories - particulate change, soluble change,
pathogen change,physical change,and pollution change.Elements and compounds refer to these materials and
organisms, and with respect to the Site, the improvement to pollution change, from the removal of direct
nutrient and pollutant inputs from the Site associated with current agricultural practices.
5. Page 15,Section 7.3—DWR appreciates the effort to develop a seed mix with consideration of soil stabilization,
pollinator benefit and site diversity.
Thank you.
6. Page 16, Section 8 — DWR recommends adding a sentence to this section stating that success criteria and
monitoring will be completed in accordance with the 2016 NCIRT Guidance.Also,please confirm that all wetland
well locations elevation data and soil profiles will be included in the MYO baseline report, as well as survey for
the constructed flow paths and shallow pools.
The following was added to Section 8, "Success criteria and monitoring will be completed in accordance with the
2016 NCIRT Guidance (2016 USACE). The As-Built Baseline Report (MYO) will include elevation data and soil
profiles at all wetland well locations,and a topographic survey of the constructed flow paths and shallow pools."
7. Page 16, Section 7.4 —Table 4 notes two percent invasive species cover. What invasive species are present
onsite?When and how will they be treated?
Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) has colonized small portions along the margins and spoil piles of Forest B.
During site construction, these clusters will be mechanically removed. Annual inspections will be made
throughout the Site to monitor for invasive vegetation species, and if observed,treated appropriately by a NC
licensed ground pesticide applicator.Section 7.4 was updated to reflect this approach.
Also,with the recognition that red maple,sweetgum and pine are all native,they can be considered temporally
undesirable if overcrowding and outcompeting the planted stem species. Is there a plan to continue thinning
these species during the monitoring period?
During yearly review of the Site, RS assess the establishment of tree species such as red maple,sweetgum, and
pine. If a situation arises wherein such a species has colonized an area to the degree that planted stems are at
risk of being outcompeted,targeted herbicide application or physical removal of the underside species would
occur.
8. Page 17, Table 14— Please include fixed photo point monitoring. Also, please add a row for monitoring of the
easement boundary and stabilized outfalls.
Page 2 of 5

Table 14 was updated.
9. Page 17,Table 15—Please note that the wetland hydrology is an annual success criterion.
The following was added to Table 15, "Wetland hydrology is an annual success criterion, and will be reported in
each year's monitoring report."
10. Page 19,Section 9—Please specify DMS as the point of contact to notify the IRT of any site issues.
Section 9 was updated appropriately.
11. Page 19,Section 11—Is trespassing a concern with the maintenance of an Access Lane onsite?
RS does not anticipate trespassing to be a concern with the Access Lane.The Lane will not receive any special
grading during construction and is expected to naturalize along with the Site.
12. Figures—Please show the Designated Access Lane on Figures 8-A,8-B and 9.
Updated.
13. Figure 7—Please make the earthen road and existing ditch legend items different colors.
Updated.
14. Figure 8-A— Based on existing and proposed contours, what is the total area proposed to be graded greater
than 12 inches(including the proposed flow paths and shallow pools)?
0.265-acre, Figure 8D has been added to Appendix A and details the areas of grading greater than 12 inches.
15. Figure 10 — What is the setback distance from the Daisy Lane right-of-way to the wetland reestablishment
boundary?
The easement is set a minimum of 5-feet off Daisy Ln. —the note on Figure 10 was updated to include this
information.
16. Figure 11—DWR likes that at least two gauges and plots are located in each forested area, as well as proposed
shallow pools. There appears to be six gauges within —30 feet of the upland edge/easement boundary. DWR
requests shifting two more gauges closer to easement boundary,since this is the zone we are most concerned
with meeting the minimum hydroperiod performance standard (see markup).
Updated.
17. Figures—DWR would welcome the inclusion of existing condition photos.
Photos,with labels, have been added to Appendix A of the Mitigation Plan.
18. Appendix B—In the future, DWR would like more detail included in the site soil investigation, including a map
indicating all soil check locations.
Understood.
19. Appendices—Please include a copy of the August 2018 IRT site visit meeting minutes.
Added as Appendix K.
20. E&SCP, Pages 5-6
a. Ditch Plug—Based on site soil borings,the upper 18 inches is composed of sandy loam.Based on the grading
plan,the shallow wetland pools will be excavated approximately 6-12 inches deep. Is the site sandy loam
an appropriate impervious material for the plug core or will offsite material be needed?
Clay material is not necessary for plug construction.Use of on-site sandy loam will be appropriate as ditch plugs
which will be constructed in 1 to 2-foot lifts with filter fabric and compacted into the bottom of the ditch.
Page 3 of 5

b. Ditch Backfilling—Based on the majority of the site be graded less than 12 inches, is there sufficient onsite
material to backfill the ditches? Has a supplemental offsite source been identified? Please reference the
max. depth to remain open/unfilled between ditch plugs.
Yes, we believe there will be sufficient onsite material to fill all ditches. We do not plan to leave any ditches
open/unfilled between ditch plugs.
c. Vegetative Planting — Please update the reference community, species and quantities based on the
mitigation plan section 7.2.
The E&SCP plan has been updated.
d. Construction Schedule—There is no mention of the three culvert removals and two outfall stabilizations
noted on mitigation plan Figure 7.Also,should the removal of the existing dirt road and/or construction of
the new access lane be referenced?
Culvert removal was added to the ditch cleaning narrative of the construction schedule. Road removal around
Forest A is detailed on the Grading Plan.There will be no construction/improvement for the access lane.
e. Construction Schedule#6—What is the max. depth of proposed shallow wetland pools?
The typical depth of the shallow pools will not exceed 12-inches during the growing season. During the winter
months (dormant season) and large rain events, the shallow pools' depth may rise to 18-inches before surface
water is released through the Site's surface water connections.
f. Construction Schedule#7—Is the—4-inch shallow disking part of the fine grading task?
Yes—The Construction Schedule has been updated.
g. Construction Schedule#8a—What is the minimum length of proposed ditch plugs?
The plugs will be a minimum of 10-feet in length.
h. Construction Schedule #8b—The only permanent groundcover mix included in this plan (page 17) is not
acceptable for use within the project site/conservation easement.
The permanent groundcover mix within the E&SCP Plan was updated to match mix outlined in the Mitigation
Plan.
21. Grading Plan—
a. Please call out the other Pond Pine& Existing Forest Management area; will the bedding lines in this area
(mentioned in the mitigation plan) be removed during grading?
These areas have been called on out the Grading Plan. Removal of bedding lines will not be done during grading.
We feel the process of tree removal in this area will be sufficient to remove any effect the historic bedding lines
have.
b. Is there any proposed grading for the new Access Lane?
No,the Access Lane will be at grade.
c. How will the proposed outfalls be stabilized?
Project outfalls are to be stabilized with Class A rip-rap—Outfall detail added to E&SC sheets
22. Surface Water Connection Detail — Please reference the permanent seed mix in mitigation plan section 7.3
(Table 12).The permanent seed mix included in the E&SCP is not appropriate for use within the project site.
The permanent groundcover mix within the ESC Plan was updated to match mix outlined in the Mitigation Plan.
USACE Comments, Kim Browning:
1. Please add fixed photo points to figure 11.
Page 4 of 5

2. Please slightly shift veg plots,or add random plots,to encompass the area where the old road bed was and the
filled ditch in the southern portion of the easement.
Updated.
3. The Photo Web-Ap link that was on the SharePoint site was helpful. It would have been helpful to include that
in the mitigation plan and label the photos for reference.
Photos,with labels, have been added to Appendix A of the Mitigation Plan.
4. It would be beneficial to include the indicator status of the plant species listed in Table 11.
Table 11 was updated to include the indicator status.
5. Tables 9 & 16 discuss the functional uplift potential and references NCWAM, including the water quality and
habitat uplift.These are benefits that are presumed and will not be measured by monitoring.
That is correct. Mitigation Plan language was updated to reflect that these will not be measured.
6. Table 9:Shouldn't one of the goals be to enhance/restore wetland functions?
The Hydrology Goal of Table 9 has been updated to, "Re-establish appropriate wetland hydrology on-site."
7. Table 16 Hydrology: The goal to "minimize downstream flooding to the maximum extent possible" is better
suited as an objective,and is one of the functions of a wetland.A more appropriate goal would be to re-establish
hydrology onsite. Additionally, recordation of a CE is not a performance standard, it is the establishment of a
legal document. Lastly, vegetation plot success is unrelated to your stated goal of minimizing downstream
flooding.Suggest re-wording this section.
The Hydrology Goal was updated to read, "Re-establish appropriate wetland hydrology on-site."
Recordation of a CE was removed from the Success Criteria column.
8. Table 16 Habitat:The goal should be to improve wetland wildlife habitat.
The habit goal was updated to read, "Improve wetland wildlife habitat within and adjacent to the Site."
9. I really appreciate the thought that went into Section 11. Please include something similar in future mitigation
plans.
Thank you.
10. Please include a figure that depicts the different areas of grading with regard to depth.Additionally, please list
the amount of the site to be graded greater than 12 inches since I assume you will need ditch plug material. It
would be helpful to show the proposed elevations listed on Figure 7 in an overall grading map.
Figure 8D has been added to Appendix A and details the areas of grading greater than 12 inches(0.265 acre).
11. Table 15:Should this also include Pantego soils?
Pantego soils has been added to Table 15 and includes the same hydroperiod success criteria as Rains which
was requested by the IRT during the pre-application site visit.
12. Please add a performance standard that addresses visual site inspections and fixed photo points.
Table 14 was updated.

1 PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The Sliver Moon II Wetland Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site") totals 30.88 acres of
primarily agricultural fields used for row crop production. The underlining tract is a single parcel,totaling
31.85 acres. The Site is located approximately 2.5 miles northwest of Cove City, 3.5 miles southeast of
Dover, and slightly north of Old US-70 Highway (SR 1005) in northwest Craven County (Figures 1 — 3,
Appendix A).
1.1 Directions to Site
Directions to the Site from Kinston, North Carolina.
• Travel southeast on US-70 Bypass for 7.2 miles
• Turn left at SR 1005/Dover Road
• Continue onto old US Hwy 70 for 0.3 mile
• Continue onto W Kornegay Street for 1.3 miles
• Continue onto old US Hwy 70 for 3.7 miles
• Turn left at Daisy Lane
• The Site is located on the left at the end of the road.
- Site Latitude, Longitude 35.2036, -77.3654 (WGS84)
1.2 USGS Hydrologic Unit Code and NCDWR River Basin Designation
The Site is located within the Neuse River Basin in 14-digit USGS Cataloging Unit and Targeted Local
Watershed (TLW)03020202080010 of the South Atlantic/Gulf Region (NCDWQ sub-basin number 03-04-
08) [Figures 1 and 2,Appendix A]). Site hydrology is driven by precipitation and lateral groundwater flow.
The Site is located within an interstream flat adjacent to the rim of a Carolina bay. The interstream flat is
between two stream systems, Core Creek(Site's receiving waters) to the south,which has been assigned
Stream Index Number 27-90 and Mill Branch to the North,which has been assigned Stream Index Number
27-90-2. Both stream systems have been assigned a Best Usage Classification of C; Sw, NSW (NCDWR
2013).The reach of Core Creek(27-90a2; from the upstream crossing of SR 1239 to Grape Creek) located
less than 1 mile south of the Site is listed on the NCDEQ final 2016 and draft 2018 303(d) lists for severely
impaired benthos (NCDWR 2018a, NCDWR 2018b).
1.3 Physiography and Land Use
The Site is located in the Carolina Flatwoods portion of the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain ecoregion of
North Carolina. Regional physiography is characterized by flat plains on lightly dissected marine terraces,
swamps,Carolina bays,and low gradient sandy and silty bottomed streams(Griffith et al.2002).Currently,
existing wetlands abut the Site along its entire northern and much of its southern boundary, with direct
ephemeral surface water inputs at several locations. Currently ditched, ephemeral inputs along the
northern boundary are directed east and offsite. The eastern fifth of the Site's northern boundary abuts
the Sliver Moon Mitigation Site, implemented in 2012, successful through five years of monitoring, and
closed in 2018.
Just to the north of the Site, is the rim of a Carolina bay (Figures 1-6,Appendix A).The rim was mined for
sand to construct the current NC Highway 70.The Site's eastern boundary, Daisy Lane,was built to access
the sand and remains an unimproved road elevated 2-3 feet above Site grade. Soon after the Hwy 70
project,the area was cleared for row crop production, including the land east of Daisy Lane. Land abutting
the Site to the south was in agricultural production before 1981. Currently, a vast majority of this land is
unmanaged and has naturalized. Remnant spoil piles and historic ditches are still present. Agricultural
production is still active along the Site's southwestern boundary, where a topographic crest in the
landscape separates the properties hydrologically.

Craven County,North Carolina February 2021

The 1981 Farm Service Agency (FSA) aerial photograph for Craven County (Figure 3, Appendix A) shows
the recently constructed Daisy Lane with the Site and surrounding areas mostly forested. Cleared soon
after the FSA aerial photograph, the Site has been in agricultural production for roughly 35 years.Typical
crop rotation for the last decade has been a winter wheat and corn.
Of the 30.88 acres, 27.67 acres (89.6%) are ditched/drained for row crop production. Two small patches
of existing forest comprise the remaining acreage which are also drained by existing ditches.The western
section of forest (depicted as Forest A on Figure 6,Appendix A), encompasses 1.18 acres, and consists of
managed pond pine (Pinus serotina). The section of forest on the southern portion of the Site (depicted
as Forest B on Figure 6, Appendix A), encompasses 1.73 acres, is ditched on two sides, and is subject to
agricultural encroachment on its third boundary. No active management of the forest has occurred. A
detailed condition of the existing forests is provided in Section 3.7—Plant Community Characterization.
Site hydrology drains west to east before running north along Daisy Lane where it soon turns east and
continues through a ditch network before draining south to Core Creek.On-site elevations are nearly level
averaging between 16-17 meters on the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) (USGS Cove City, North
Carolina 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle) or 53-56 feet (NAVD 88) (NC One Map, Craven County
Quality Level 2 (QL2) LiDAR 0.5-foot elevation contours) (Figures 5 and 6, Appendix A). Surrounding land
uses include existing wetlands, rural residential properties,timber tracts, and row crops.
1.4 Project Components and Structure
Within the 30.88-acre Site,30.597 acres are drained hydric soils(Figure 6,Appendix A),which is proposed
for non-riparian wetland mitigation (Table 1) (Figures 7-10, Appendix A). Completed project activities,
reporting history, completion dates, project contacts, and background information are summarized in
Tables 1-4.

2 WATERSHED APPROACH AND SITE SELECTION
Primary considerations for Site selection included the potential for improvement of water quality within
a region of North Carolina under heavy livestock/agricultural pressure.The Site is located within the State
identified TLW 03020202080010 of the Neuse 02 River Basin. Prioritized for restoration the receiving
waters of the TLW (Core Creek) is listed as impaired for benthos on the NCDEQ final 2016 and draft 2018
303(d).
More specifically, site-specific selection considerations included a site's ability to provide desired aquatic
resource functions, hydrologic conditions, soil characteristics, aquatic habitat diversity, habitat
connectivity, compatibility with adjacent land uses, and reasonably foreseeable effects the mitigation
project will have on ecologically important aquatic and terrestrial resources. Site specific considerations
leading to the Site selection are summarized below:

In addition to the opportunity for ecological improvements at the Site, the implementation of the
particular mitigation activities and methods proposed in the Design Approach & Mitigation Work Plan
(Section 7.0) are expected to produce naturalized wetland resources that will be ecologically self-
sustain ing.
Site activities address priorities associated with the 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities report.
Site-specific information follows each goal.

1. Protect, augment,and connect Natural Heritage areas and other conservation lands.
The Site is located immediately south of, and shares an easement boundary with,the NC Division
of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) Sliver Moon Non-Riparian Wetland Mitigation Site, which was
successful through five years of monitoring and was closed out in 2018. In addition,the Dover Bay
Pocosin Natural Area is 0.5 mile north of the Site, a NC Wildlife Resources Commission Easement
and NC Coastal Land Trust Preserve are located within 1.0 mile of the Site, the NCDMS Heath
Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site is located 0.5 mile southwest of the Site, and the NCDMS Vicki's
Thicket Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site is located 0.9 mile southwest of the Site (NC NHP Report—
Appendix C).
2. Reduce impacts from agricultural practices.
Reduce water quality impacts from agricultural practices—cessation of row crop production and
elimination of fertilizer application/annual ditch maintenance which may result in a direct
reduction of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediments entering downstream waters.
3. Reduce impacts from stormwater.
Restoration of jurisdictional wetlands will increase surface/sub-surface storage and retention
within the Site;thereby, reducing stormwater flow below the Site.
Site-specific mitigation goals and objectives have been developed using the North Carolina Wetland
Assessment Method (NC WAM) and are discussed further in Section 5.0 (Functional Uplift and Project
Goals/Objectives).
3 BASELINE AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
3.1 Landform &Adjacent Land Uses
Just to the north of the Site, is the rim of a Carolina bay (Figures 1-6, Appendix A).The rim was mined for
sand to construct the current NC Highway 70.The Site's eastern boundary, Daisy Lane,was built to access
the sand and remains an unimproved road elevated 2-3 feet above Site grade. Soon after the Hwy 70
project,the area was cleared for row crop production, including the land east of Daisy Lane. Land abutting
the Site to the south was in agricultural production before 1981. Currently, a vast majority of this land is
unmanaged and has naturalized. Remnant spoil piles and historic ditches are still present. Agricultural
production is still active along the Site's southwestern boundary, where a topographic crest in the
landscape separates the properties hydrologically. Existing interior and perimeter ditches range from 1-4
feet in depth.
The 1981 Farm Service Agency (FSA) aerial photograph for Craven County (Figure 3, Appendix A) shows
the recently constructed Daisy Lane with the Site and surrounding areas mostly forested. Cleared soon
after the FSA aerial photograph, the Site has been in agricultural production for roughly 35 years.Typical
crop rotation for the last decade has been a winter wheat and corn.
3.2 Soils
Soils that occur within the Site, according to the Web Soil Survey(USDA 2017) are described in Table 5.

3.3 Project Site Waters of the U.S.
Drained hydric soils within the Site were delineated in the field following guidelines set forth in the Corps
of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and subsequent regional supplement and located using GPS
technology with reported submeter accuracy (Environmental Laboratory 1987). A Preliminary
Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) package was submitted to the United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) (Appendix D). This was verified by USACE representative Billy Standridge during a field meeting
on December 20, 2018 and a notification of jurisdictional determination was received on April 17, 2019.
During project development and design the Site footprint was slightly revised along the southern
boundary. As a result, a request was made on May 5, 2020 for an updated PJD to reflect the new
conservation easement boundary. The updated PJD request did not include any additional jurisdictional
features, and an updated notification of jurisdictional determination was received on May 8, 2020. The
Site currently contains 30.597 acres of drained hydric soils as depicted in black hatching on Figure 6,
Appendix A.
3.4 Hydrological Characterization
Construction activities are expected to restore 30.597 acres of drained non-riparian hydric soils. Areas of
the Site targeted for restoration of non-riparian wetlands will receive primary hydrological inputs from
groundwater migration into wetlands, groundwater/precipitation driven ephemeral surface water flows,
and direct precipitation. Hydrological impairment of the drained hydric soils has resulted from lateral
draw-down of the water table within ditched agricultural fields.
A water balance calculation was performed to determine if wetland hydrology will be restored by
removing the ditch outlet and restoring the disturbed restrictive soil layer in the existing ditches. The
water balance calculation was performed using nearby State operated weather station for hydrological
inputs and outputs as no direct hydrological measurements from the Site are available. The calculation
determined a surplus of—85 acre-feet for the Site on an annual basis which will support wetland hydrology
success criteria during years of normal precipitation.
3.5 Soil Characterization
Detailed soil mapping conducted by a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist(NCLSS#1233) in March 2018
and again in March 2020 indicate that the Site is currently underlain by hydric soils of the Pantego and
Rains series. Wetlands have been ditched, drained, and cleared for agricultural purposes. Detailed soil
profiles conducted by a NCLSS are as follows; the locations are depicted on Figure 6, Appendix A and the
soil boring logs are included in Appendix B.

3.6 Plant Community Characterization
The Site includes 27.67 acres proposed for wetland re-establishment which are currently used for
agricultural row-crop production and have very little vegetative diversity. Two small patches of existing
forest are located within the Site totaling 2.91 acres. The western section of forest (depicted as Forest A
on Figure 6, Appendix A), encompasses 1.18 acres of managed pond pine (Pinus serotina). Wetland
hydrology has been removed from Forest A via three ditches constructed when the property was first
converted to agriculture.An earthen road exists between the ditches and forest. Managed pine has been
thinned and is nearing harvesting age. Remnant spoil piles exist along the southern and western portions
of the forest with historic bedding lines within the forest itself.
The section of forest on the southern portion of the Site (depicted as Forest B on Figure 6, Appendix A),
encompasses 1.73 acres and is ditched on two of its three sides. Topography within Forest B is sloped
towards these diches,which removes surface and groundwater from the area. Table 7, Reference Forest
Ecosystem, includes observed species within Forest B. Remnant spoil piles are located between the
ditches and the forest,and row crop production has continuously impacted the southern boundary.Along
the margins and spoil piles of Forest B,Chinese privet(Ligustrum sinense) has established in small clusters.
4 REFERENCE FOREST ECOSYSTEM
A Reference Forest Ecosystem (RFE) is a forested area on which to model restoration efforts at the Site in
relation to soils and vegetation. RFEs should be ecologically stable climax communities and should be a
representative model of the Site as it likely existed prior to human disturbances. Data describing plant
community composition and structure should be collected at the RFEs and subsequently applied as
reference data in an attempt to emulate a natural climax community.
An RFE for the Site is located immediately north in a continuation of the interstream flat and Pantego soil
series associated with the Site (Figure 9).Tree and shrub species identified in this area are listed in Table
7 and will be utilized,in addition to other relevant species to supplement community descriptions for Non-
Riverine Wet Hardwood Forest.

5 FUNCTIONAL UPLIFT AND PROJECT GOALS/OBJECTIVES
The Site is located within TLW 03020202080010 and sub-basin 03-04-08.The project is not located within
a Local Watershed Planning area; however, project activities address priorities associated with the 2010
Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities report as follow (see Section 2.0 for additional information).
1. Protect, augment, and connect Natural Heritage areas and other conservation lands.
2. Reduce water quality impacts from agricultural practices—cessation of row crop production and
elimination of fertilizer application/annual ditch maintenance which may result in a direct
reduction of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediments entering downstream waters.
3. Reduce impacts from stormwater.
Site specific mitigation goals and objectives have been developed using the NC WAM analyses (NC WFAT
2010).This methodology rates functional metrics for wetlands as high, medium,or low based on field data
collected on forms and transferred into a rating calculator. Using Boolean logic, the rating calculator
assigns a high, medium,or low value for each metric and overall function.Site functional assessment data
forms are available upon request and model output is included in Appendix B.
Table 8A summarizes NC WAM metrics targeted for functional uplift and the corresponding mitigation
activities proposed to provide functional uplift NC WAM metrics are not to be used to prove mitigation
success; however, these functions have been academically determined as uplift within the Site. Metrics
academically targeted to meet the Site's goals and objectives are depicted in bold.

The NC WAM wetland type can be best classified as a disturbed hardwood flat. Based on NC WAM data,
all three primary Wetland Functional Metrics (Hydrology, Water Quality, and Habitat), as well as six sub-
metrics were found to be under-performing as exhibited by a LOW metric rating. LOW performing metrics
are to be academically targeted for functional uplift through mitigation activities but not monitored and
are presented in Table 9.

6 SITE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS
The presence of conditions or characteristics that have the potential to hinder restoration activities on
the Site was evaluated.The evaluation focused primarily on the presence of hazardous materials, utilities
restrictive easements, rare/threatened/endangered species or critical habitats, and the potential for
hydrologic trespass. Existing information regarding Site constraints was acquired and reviewed, including
a 0.25-foot topographic map. In addition, any Site conditions that have the potential to restrict the
restoration design and implementation were documented during the field investigation.
With the Site's relatively flat nature,the possibility of hydrologic trespass was given additional scrutiny. A
0.25-foot contour interval map was generated by the K2 Design Group (PLS License#4194) and was used
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100077) page 11
Sliver Moon 11 Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Craven County,North Carolina February 2021

in combination with the NC Floodplain Mapping Program's QL2 LiDAR 0.5-foot contour intervals to
develop the Site's design. This added detailed allowed for site-specific and area topographic data to be
evaluated congruently to ensure the design would not result in hydrologic trespass to adjacent parcels.
The analysis determined that Site restoration would not hydrologically affect adjacent parcels. Residential
properties are drained by a series of existing ditches located outside of the Site and that drain south,away
from the Site (Figure 5, Appendix A). A natural topographic break separates the Site hydrologically from
agricultural uses to the South. To the east, the Site is defined by Daisy Lane which is situated 2-3 feet
above the Site's existing field elevation. Two parcels abut the Site to the north; the eastern parcel is the
existing Sliver Moon Mitigation Site, and the western Parcel is an existing wetland managed primarily for
hunting.The western north parcel has several ephemeral surface water features that enter the Site's ditch
network. The Site design will ensure surface water inputs will be allowed to migrate through the Site,
increasing surface water storage. Due to soil subsidence and the Site being naturally lower in the
landscape,the Site is on average 1-2 feet below surrounding parcels.

6.2 Cultural Resources
The term "cultural resources" refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites, structures, or artifact
deposits over 50 years old. "Significant"cultural resources are those that are eligible or potentially eligible
for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Evaluations for cultural resources of significance
are made with reference to the eligibility criteria of the National Register(36 CFR 60) and in consultation
with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
Field visits were conducted at the Site in early 2018 and 2020 to ascertain the presence of structures or
other features that may be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. No structures
were identified within proposed easement boundaries. In addition, SHPO conducted a review of the
project and identified no historic resources which would be affected by the project (Appendix E).
6.3 North Carolina Natural Heritage Elements
A query of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database indicates there are no records
for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within
the proposed project boundary. Within a one-mile radius of the project boundary, NCNHP lists five
element occurrences, including two darners, one vascular plant, and two natural communities. In
addition,the Site is located immediately south of and shares a boundary with, a NC Division of Mitigation
Services easement (Sliver Moon Mitigation Site). Approximately 0.5 mile south of the Dover Bay Pocosin
Natural Area, the Site is within 1.0 mile of a NC Wildlife Resources Commission Easement and NC Coastal
Land Trust Preserve. NCNHP correspondence is included in Appendix C.

7 DESIGN APPROACH AND MITIGATION WORK PLAN
7.1 Wetland Restoration
Wetland restoration activities are designed to restore a fully functioning non-riparian wetland system,
which will provide surface water storage, nutrient cycling, removal of imported elements and compounds
(NC WAM—Water Quality, improvement to 'Pollution Change', i.e., retention of sediment,toxicants, and
nutrients), and will create a variety and abundance of habitat for wildlife.
Portions of the Site underlain by hydric soils have been impacted by drainage ditch excavation,vegetative
clearing, agriculture plowing, herbicide application, and other land disturbances associated with land use
management. Wetland re-establishment is focused on the restoration of vegetative communities, filling
and plugging of drainage ditches, removal of ditch crossings, culverts, and drainpipes, the re-
establishment of soil structure, the re-establishment of historic ephemeral surface water flow and
development of microtopographic variations.
The design approach accentuates the Site's existing conditions and topographic features. It uses existing
topographic depressions in combination with a reintroduced surface flow pattern to capture and store
ephemeral surface water inputs from the northern boundary, and to allow those inputs to move freely
across the Site. Soil subsidence from agricultural practices in combination with the Site being in the
naturally low portion of the landscape, have resulted in the Site becoming lower than the surrounding
landscape and parcels. Naturally depressed areas in the western third of the Site and along the southern
boundary were surveyed at an elevation of 53.5 (Figures 7-8, Appendix A). These depressed areas will
serve as natural storage for ephemeral surface water entering and migrating through the Site.The design
connects these depressed areas at contour 54,with a braided flow path approximately six-inches in depth
(Figure 8-C, Appendix A).
7.2 Natural Plant Community Restoration
Restoration of vegetation allows for development and expansion of characteristic species across the
landscape. Ecotonal changes between community types contribute to diversity and provide secondary
benefits,such as enhanced feeding and nesting opportunities for mammals, birds, amphibians, and other
wildlife. RFE data, on-site observations, and community descriptions from Classification of the Natural
Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990) were used to develop the primary plant
community associations that will be promoted during community restoration activities; the community
association to be utilized is Non-Riverine Wet Hardwood Forest.
To enhance and re-establish natural hardwood forest communities on Site,the existing wooded areas are
to be thinned and replanted with bare-root seedlings. Forest A— 1.18 ac. of managed pond pine — will
receive the most thinning between the two existing forests — 60 to 70 percent of the existing trees are
proposed for removal.Trees selected for removal will be done so to expose the soil surface to additional
sunlight,creating a wide range of sunlight conditions from part sun to areas of dappled sun and full shade.
Forest B — 1.73 acres of unmanaged forest—will be thinned by removing 30-40 percent of the existing
species.Thinning will focus on diseased species, and those species generally considered less desirable by
the Interagency Review Team (IRT) (i.e., red maple and sweetgum). In addition, species along the forest
margins will be removed to facilitate grading/removal of spoil piles, and filling of the existing ditches. All
species removed,will be stockpiled on-site and distributed across the Site prior to planting for habitat and
to provide organic inputs to the system. Removal of stumps will not be apart of the thinning process for
either existing forest.
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100077) page 14
Sliver Moon II Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Craven County,North Carolina February 2021

Bare-root seedlings will be planted at a density of approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers
across the entire Site. Planting will be performed between November 15 and March 15 to allow plants to
stabilize during the dormant period and set root during the spring season. Lower areas in the landscape
which are intended to hold surface water will be planted with an additional 320 stems per acre with
specific species tolerant of inundation of extended periods of time.
Table 11 depicts the species, total number of stems, and distribution for bare-root planting. The entire
Site (30.88 acres)will be planted with species from the Primary Planting List. Depressed areas(3.75 acres)
will receive an additional 320 stems per acre of species tolerant to extended periods of inundation.

7.3 Permanent Seed Mix
While Site success criteria are driven by establishment of appropriate canopy tree species, restoration of
understory vegetation will provide significant additional ecological benefit. Initial soil stabilization, mid-
term pollinator benefit, and long-term Site diversity will be achieved through broadcast seeding efforts.
An herbaceous seed mix including native grasses and forbs will be planted throughout the Site. Table 12
outlines the species proposed for inclusion in the permanent seed mix.

7.4 Nuisance Species Management
No nuisance species controls are proposed at this time. Small clusters of Chinese privet (Ligustrum
sinense), located along the margins and spoil piles of Forest B, will be mechanically removed during
construction. Annual inspections will be made throughout the Site to monitor for invasive vegetation
species, and if observed, treated appropriately by a NC licensed ground pesticide applicator.
Inspections for wild pig, bear, and other potential nuisance species will occur throughout the course of
the monitoring period. Appropriate actions may be taken to ameliorate any negative impacts regarding
nuisance vegetation development.The presence of nuisance species will be monitored over the course of
the monitoring period.

8 MONITORING AND SUCCESS CRITERIA
Monitoring will be conducted by Axiom Environmental, Inc based on the schedule in Table 13.A summary
of monitoring is outlined in Table 14(Figure 11,Appendix A).Annual monitoring reports will be submitted
to the NCDMS by Restoration Systems no later than December 1 of each monitoring year data. Success
criteria and monitoring will be completed in accordance with the 2016 NCIRT Guidance (2016 USACE).The
As-Built Baseline Report (MYO) will include elevation data and soil profiles at all wetland well locations,
and a topographic survey of the constructed flow paths and shallow pools.

*Soil temperature will be monitored using a continuous recording soil probe located at the rain gauge.The growing
season will be initiated once bud burst has been documented on two or more species (excluding red maple and
elderberry)and suitable soil temperatures have been documented with the soil probe.The earliest growing season
initiation date will be March 1,assuming other growing season criteria has been met.
8.1 Success Criteria
Monitoring and success criteria for wetland restoration should relate to project goals and objectives
identified from NC WAM data collection. From a mitigation perspective,several of the goals and objectives
are assumed to be functionally elevated by restoration activities without direct measurement.Other goals
and objectives will be considered successful upon achieving success criteria. The following summarizes
Site success criteria.
Table 18. Success Criteria
Wetland Hydrology
• Saturation or inundation within the upper 12 inches of the soil surface for,at a minimum, 12 percent of the
growing season, during average climatic conditions based on the Wilmington District Stream and Wetland
Compensatory Mitigation Update(USACE 2016,Table 1),for both the Typic Paleaquult(Rains)and the Umbric
Paleaquult(Pantego)soil series as requested by the IRT during the pre-application site visit.Wetland hydrology
is an annual success criterion,and will be reported in each year's monitoring report.
The 2016 USACE Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update for monitoring
states the growing season, used to determine the number of days required to meet the wetland hydroperiod
success criteria,shall not extend beyond March 1 and November 20(265 days). Using this range as the
maximum possible growing season, 12 percent(the wetland hydrology success criteria)would amount to 31.8
days(rounded to 32 days).As noted in the footnote of Table 14,yearly reporting of on-site soil temperature and
documented bud burst of two or more tree species(excluding red maple and elderberry)will determine each
monitoring year's growing season.
Vegetation
• Within planted portions of the Site,a minimum of 320 stems per acre must be present at year 3; a minimum of
260 stems per acre must be present at year 5;and a minimum of 210 stems per acre must be present at year 7.
• Trees must average 7 feet in height at year 5 and 10 feet in height at year 7 in each plot.
• Planted and volunteer stems are counted, provided they are included in the approved planting list for the Site;
natural recruits not on the planting list may be considered by the IRT on a case-by-case basis.
• Any single species can only account for 50%of the required stems within any vegetation plot.

8.2 Wetland Contingency
Hydrological contingency will require consultation with hydrologists and regulatory agencies if wetland
hydrology is not achieved. Recommendations for contingency to establish wetland hydrology will be
implemented and monitored until Hydrology Success Criteria are achieved.
8.3 Vegetation Contingency
If vegetation success criteria are not achieved,supplemental planting may be performed with tree species
approved by regulatory agencies. Supplemental planting will be performed as needed until achievement
of vegetation success criteria.
8.4 Compatibility with Project Goals
Table 16 outlines the compatibility of Site performance criteria described above to Site goals and
objectives that will be utilized to evaluate if Site goals and objectives are achieved.

9 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
If the mitigation Site or a specific component of the mitigation Site fails to achieve the necessary
performance standards as specified in the mitigation plan, the sponsor shall notify DMS, who will act as
the contact/notifying entity to members of the IRT. The sponsor will work with DMS and the IRT to
develop contingency plans remedial actions.
10 LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Site will be transferred to the NCDEQ Stewardship Program. This party shall serve as conservation
easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspection of the Site
to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Funding will be supplied by
the responsible party on a yearly basis until such time an endowment is established. The NCDEQ
Stewardship Program is developing an endowment system within the non-reverting, interest-bearing
Conservation Lands Conservation Fund Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be
governed by North Carolina General Statute GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund
may be used for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land
transaction costs, if applicable.
11 PROJECT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
11.1 Land-use Development&Easement Encroachment:
Future single-family development is unlikely in the immediate vicinity of the Site. Currently, existing
wetlands abut the Site along the entire northern and much of the southern boundary, with direct
ephemeral surface water inputs at several locations. Managed timberland and row crops are the only
active land uses adjacent to the Site. Appropriate signage and tree painting will occur along forested and
agricultural boundaries to decrease the risk of encroachment from adjacent land use.
As part of the fee-simple purchase and assignment of a conservation easement, a 15-foot wide easement
access path was established along the Site's western-southern boundary. This additional buffer will
protect the Site from any future development. A permanent, raised earthen road for access to privately
owned parcels north of the Site establishes the Site's eastern boundary. This road is platted, and
referenced by several deeds. Currently,this path provides deeded access to the State for the Sliver Moon
Mitigation Site.
Fencing will not be required for this project as the adjacent land-use does not require it.
11.2 Extreme Climatic Conditions:
The Site's design addresses altering climatic conditions in many ways. The improvement of existing
landscape depressions will provide enhanced storage during times of drought, benefiting both terrestrial
and aquatic species. The Site's designed water flow path will ensure excess water is not kept within the
Site after extreme rain events.
11.3 Hydrologic Trespass:
With the Site's relatively flat nature,the possibility of hydrologic trespass was given additional scrutiny.A
0.25-foot contour interval map was generated by K2 Design Group (PLS License#4194) and was used in
combination with the NC Floodplain Mapping Program's QL2 LiDAR 0.5-foot contour intervals to develop
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100077) page 20
Sliver Moon II Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Craven County,North Carolina February 2021

the Site's design.This added detailed allowed for site-specific and area topographic data to be evaluated
congruently to ensure the design would not result in hydrologic trespass to adjacent parcels.
The analysis determined that Site restoration would not hydrologically affect adjacent parcels. Residential
properties are drained by a series of existing ditches located outside of the Site and that drain south,away
from the Site (Figure 5, Appendix A). A natural topographic break separates the Site hydrologically from
agricultural uses to the South. To the east, the Site is defined by Daisy Lane, which is 2-3 feet above the
Site's existing field elevation. Two parcels abut the Site to the north; the eastern parcel is the existing
Sliver Moon Mitigation Site, and the western Parcel is an existing wetland managed primarily for hunting.
The western north parcel has several ephemeral surface water features that enter the Site's ditch
network. The Site design will ensure surface water inputs will be allowed to migrate through the Site,
increasing surface water storage. Due to soil subsidence and the Site being naturally lower in the
landscape,the Site is on average 1-2 feet below surrounding parcels.

Sliver Moon II Water Balance Calculation
Water Budget Equation
The hydrologic cycle of a wetland can be expressed in a water budget that accounts for water
inflows and outflows to the system, as follows:
AS = [P + Si+ Gi] — [ET + So+Go]
where:
AS = change in volume of water storage in a defined area over time
P =precipitation
Si = surface-water inflow
Gi=ground-water inflow
ET=evapotranspiration
So = surface water outflow
Go =groundwater outflow
Water Budget Calculation Assumptions
This drained Hardwood Flat wetland will be restored as one wetland polygon. The following
assumptions apply to the water budget calculation:
1. Precipitation that falls within the 30.88-acre footprint will be the primary hydrologic
input.
2. Surface-water and ground-water inflow will be secondary hydrologic inputs and are not
expected to be critical factors in restoring wetland hydrology. This is assumed because
of the landscape position of the wetland is an interstream divide and the surrounding
land use practices mostly being agriculture and maintained woodland which convey
water down gradient through a network of ditches. The Site is mostly surrounded by
Hydric A soils which will provide supplemental hydrological inputs.
3. Currently surface water outflow for the site is being conveyed off the Site via a ditch
network system, and will be eliminated by removal of existing ditches and associated
outlets. Water will leave the Site once it reaches a set elevation to be determined during
final design in order to prevent hydrologic trespass on adjacent properties.
4. The primary soil series associated with the Site are Pantego fine sandy loam and Rains
fine sandy loam(MRCS soil mapunits Pa and Ra)which are somewhat to very poorly
drained with moderate permeability. Land management practices for this soil series
include forestry and agricultural,both activities include a ditch network system coupled

with surface manipulation to remove hydrological inputs in order to achieve sustainable
production. Once the Site's ditches are filled and outlets removed the hydrological inputs
will be retained resulting in restoration of wetland hydrology.
Based on these assumptions it is assumed that no significant groundwater or surface water
inflow/outflow will occur at the Site to the degree that it will affect the restoration of wetland
hydrology. Applying these assumptions to the water budget equation, modifies the water balance
equation for the Site to:
AS = [P] — [ET]
Precipitation
The USDA NRCS provides Wetlands Climate Tables through the Agricultural Applied Climate
System(AgACIS) which includes climate data and summary reports. There are several AgACIS
weather stations in Craven County, however all had incomplete datasets that could not be used
for this exercise. As an alternative The State Office of North Carolina at NCSU developed the
NC Climate Retrieval and Observations Network of the Southeast Database (NC CRONOS)
which provides precipitation data. There is one NC CRONOS weather station listed for Craven
County; however it is located in New Bern therefore a closer weather station in Lenoir County
was used instead. The weather station used is Cunningham Research Station (ID—KINS)which
is located—13-miles to the west northwest of the Site in Lenoir County. The weather station was
established in June 1987 and precipitation data is the average of precipitation data collected from
2015 —2019.
Evapotranspiration
As discussed above in the water budget calculation assumptions surface water and groundwater
outflows will be eliminated during construction of the Site, leaving evapotranspiration as the
only water loss for the system after construction is complete. The NC CRONOS KINS weather
station also provides Daily Reference Crop Evapotranspiration(ETo) and Daily Crop
Evapotranspiration(ETc) for the previous 48-months at their weather stations around the state. A
crop coefficient is multiplied by the ETo in order to calculate ETc.
The data was accessed from the NC CRONOS KINS weather station in October 2019, and
provided ETo and ETc data. Field field corn at mid-season growth stage was selected for ETc as
this crop has the highest water loss through evapotranspiration of the crops previously grown at
the Site. The ETo and ETc data provided was from Oct 2015 —September 2019, and was
averaged for each month in order to perform the water budget calculation.

Results and Conclusions
The monthly and annual water budget results for the proposed wetlands are presented in the
"Water Budget Net Balance+/-" column of the table above. A monthly running total of the water
budget is presented in"Water Budget Remaining Total +/-" column of the table above. No water
deficits were observed in the calculation during any month of the year. A water surplus is
available on a monthly and annual basis. This analysis reflects monthly water budget conditions
based on monthly direct precipitation and subtracting monthly evapotranspiration to arrive at
monthly water budget summaries.
Based on this calculation-2.7-feet surplus of water will cover the entire 30.88-acre Site on an
annual basis. Considering the limited hydrologic outlets associated with the Site the proposed
wetland project will be able to meet the wetland hydrology requirement during years of normal
precipitation.

RE: Sliver Moon II Wetland Mitigation Site
Dear Kenan Jernigan:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These
results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one-mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund
(CWMTF) easement, or an occurrence of a Federally-listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919.707.8603.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION(JD)TYPE (Select One)
nI am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination(PJD)provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States"or"navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed(33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary"in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination(AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States"or"navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner,permit applicant, or other"affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2)who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre-
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1)the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3)the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit)or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:

2. Surface and Sub-Surface Storage Capacity and Duration—assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface storage capacity and duration(Surf)and sub-surface storage capacity and duration(Sub).
Consider both increase and decrease in hydrology. A ditch <_ 1 foot deep is considered to affect surface water only, while a ditch > 1 foot
deep is expected to affect both surface and sub-surface water. Consider tidal flooding regime, if applicable.
Surf Sub
❑A ❑A Water storage capacity and duration are not altered.
❑B ®B Water storage capacity or duration are altered, but not substantially(typically, not sufficient to change vegetation).
®C DC Water storage capacity or duration are substantially altered(typically,alteration sufficient to result in vegetation change)
(examples: draining,flooding, soil compaction,filling, excessive sedimentation, underground utility lines).
3. Water Storage/Surface Relief—assessment area/wetland type condition metric(skip for all marshes)
Check a box in each column. Select the appropriate storage for the assessment area(AA)and the wetland type(WT).
AA WT
3a. ❑A ❑A Majority of wetland with depressions able to pond water> 1 deep
❑B ❑B Majority of wetland with depressions able to pond water 6 inches to 1 foot deep

5. Discharge into Wetland—opportunity metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface pollutants or discharges(Surf)and sub-surface pollutants or discharges(Sub). Examples
of sub-surface discharges include presence of nearby septic tank, underground storage tank(UST), etc.
Surf Sub
®A ®A Little or no evidence of pollutants or discharges entering the assessment area
❑B ❑B Noticeable evidence of pollutants or discharges entering the wetland and stressing, but not overwhelming the
treatment capacity of the assessment area
❑C ❑C Noticeable evidence of pollutants or discharges(pathogen, particulate, or soluble)entering the assessment area and
potentially overwhelming the treatment capacity of the wetland (water discoloration, dead vegetation, excessive
sedimentation, odor)
6. Land Use—opportunity metric(skip for non-riparian wetlands)
Check all that apply(at least one box in each column). Evaluation involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. Consider sources draining
to assessment area within entire upstream watershed (WS),within 5 miles and within the watershed draining to the assessment area (5M),
and within 2 miles and within the watershed draining to the assessment area(2M).
WS 5M 2M
❑A ❑A ❑A > 10%impervious surfaces

❑D ❑D ❑D >_20%coverage of agricultural land (regularly plowed land)
❑E ❑E ❑E >_20%coverage of maintained grass/herb
OF OF OF >_20%coverage of clear-cut land
❑G ❑G ❑G Little or no opportunity to improve water quality. Lack of opportunity may result from little or no disturbance in
the watershed or hydrologic alterations that prevent drainage and/or overbank flow from affecting the
assessment area.
7. Wetland Acting as Vegetated Buffer—assessment area/wetland complex condition metric(skip for non-riparian wetlands)
7a. Is assessment area within 50 feet of a tributary or other open water?

❑Yes ❑No Wetland type has a surface hydrology connection to open waters/stream or tidal wetlands.
14. Edge Effect—wetland type condition metric(skip for all marshes and Estuarine Woody Wetland)
May involve a GIS effort with field adjustment. Estimate distance from wetland type boundary to artificial edges. Artificial edges include
non-forested areas >_40 feet wide such as fields, development, roads, regularly maintained utility line corridors, and clear-cuts. Consider
the eight main points of the compass. Artificial edge occurs within 150 feet in how many directions? If the assessment area is clear cut,
select option"C."
❑A 0
❑B 1 to 4
®C 5to8
15. Vegetative Composition—assessment area condition metric(skip for all marshes and Pine Flat)
❑A Vegetation is close to reference condition in species present and their proportions. Lower strata composed of appropriate
species,with exotic plants absent or sparse within the assessment area.
❑B Vegetation is different from reference condition in species diversity or proportions, but still largely composed of native species
characteristic of the wetland type. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clearcutting or clearing.
It also includes communities with exotics present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata.
®C Vegetation severely altered from reference in composition, or expected species are unnaturally absent (planted stands of non-
characteristic species or at least one stratum inappropriately composed of a single species), or exotic species are dominant in at
least one stratum.
16. Vegetative Diversity—assessment area condition metric(evaluate for Non-tidal Freshwater Marsh only)
❑A Vegetation diversity is high and is composed primarily of native species(< 10%cover of exotics).
❑B Vegetation diversity is low or has > 10%to 50%cover of exotics.
❑C Vegetation is dominated by exotic species(>50% cover of exotics).

delineated,and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. Therefore this
preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,including determining
compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts,compensatory mitigation requirements,and other
resource protection measures,a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands
that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This
preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process
(Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However,you may request an approved JD,which is an appealable action,by contacting
the Corps district for further instruction.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD)for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre-
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1)the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit)or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:

ATTN: Roy Brownlow, District Manager
SUBJECT: CAMA Jurisdictional Determination for the Sliver Moon II Non-Riparian Wetland Mitigation
Site in Craven County, NC.
Mr. Roy Brown low
Restoration Systems, LLC (RS), of Raleigh, NC has been awarded a contract by DMS to provide 30 Wetland
Mitigation Units at the Sliver Moon II Wetland Mitigation Site in Craven County, North Carolina.
One of the earliest tasks to be performed by RS is completion of an environmental screening and
preparation/submittal of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) document. This document is specifically required by
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)to ensure compliance with various federal environmental laws
and regulations. DMS must demonstrate that its projects comply with federal mandates as a precondition to
FHWA reimbursement of compensatory mitigation costs borne by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation to offset its projects' unavoidable impacts to streams and wetlands.
In order for the project to proceed, RS is obligated to coordinate with your office to determine if our
proposal will involve any Areas of Environmental Concern(AECs).This letter provides you with certain details
of the Sliver Moon II Non-Riparian Wetland Mitigation Site, including the project's location, a general
description of its physiography, hydrography and existing land uses,as well as the intended modifications to
the site proposed by RS. We request your review of the details provided and make a field determination of
whether CAMA jurisdiction will be taken on any portion of the proposed site.
Project Location & Description
The Site is characterized by agricultural fields utilized for row crop production. All Site hydrology drains
to the south through a ditch network to Core Creek, located less than 1 mile south of the Site. The
approximately 31.7-acre Site has been ditched/drained, cleared of vegetation, and is maintained for row
crop production.
The Site is located in the Carolina Flatwoods portion of the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain ecoregion of
North Carolina. Regional physiography is characterized by flat plains on lightly dissected marine
terraces, swamps, Carolina bays, and low gradient sandy and silty bottomed streams (Griffith et al.,
2002). Onsite elevations are nearly level averaging 17 meters (NGVD) (USGS Cove City, North Carolina
7.5-minute topographic quadrangle)/56 feet (NAVD 88) (NC One Map, Craven County LiDAR 2-foot
elevation contours)

Restoration Means& Methods
Alternatives for wetland reestablishment are designed to restore a fully functioning wetland system,
which will provide surface water storage, nutrient cycling, removal of nutrients, and will create a variety
and abundance of wildlife habitat.
Portions of the Site underlain by hydric soils have been impacted by clearing of vegetation, ditch network
installation, agriculture plowing, row crop production, herbicide application, and other land disturbances
associated with land use management. Wetland reestablishment options should focus on the
restoration of vegetative communities, restoration of historic groundwater tables by filling ditches, and
the reestablishment of soil structure and microtopographic variations. These activities will result in the
reestablishment of 30.0 acres of jurisdictional, non-riparian wetlands.
Restoration of vegetation allows for development and expansion of characteristic species across the
landscape. Ecotonal changes between community types contribute to diversity and provide secondary
benefits, such as enhanced feeding and nesting opportunities for mammals, birds, amphibians, and other
wildlife. In addition,viable vegetative communities will improve system biogeochemical function by filtering
pollutants from overland and shallow subsurface flows and providing organic materials.
Vegetative species composition will be based on Reference Forest Ecoysystems(RFEs),site-specific features,
and community descriptions from Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina(Schafale and
Weakley 1990); the community association to be utilized is Non-Riverine Wet Hardwood Forest.
Bare-root seedlings will be planted at a density of approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers.
Planting will be performed between November 15 and March 15 to allow plants to stabilize during the
dormant period and set root during the spring season. Potential species planted within the Site may include
the following.
Should you have any questions or if any additional information is needed to complete the Form,please feel
free to contact me at the office 919.334.9111. If we do not receive any response from your office within 30
days we will assume that your department has no comments.Your valuable time and cooperation are much
appreciated.

Mr. Hamby,
Hope this find you doing well.
I apologize for the delay in response. I did forward your email on July 1301 to Brad Connell_ Brad is the DCM Field Representative who handles Craven County. He confirmed that your
proposed project is outside of the Coastal Resources Commission's Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC)r therefore: DCM has no jurisdiction involving this proposal.
Thank you for your patience but at least the good news is there is not any LAMA permit or authorization required.
Please let me know if we can be of further assistance_

Re: Sliver Moon II Wetland Mitigation Project, Craven County, NC
Dear Renee,
The purpose of this letter is to request written concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
for the Arabia Bay Wetland Mitigation Project in Craven County, a Full-Delivery project for the N.C. Davison of
Mitigation Services. Please review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect to
SHPO from a potential stream restoration project depicted on the attached mapping.
Project Name: Sliver Moon II Wetland Mitigation Project
Project Location: 12215 Old US Hwy 70 W, Cove City, NC 28523
Project Contact: JD Hamby, Restoration Systems LLC, 1101 Haynes St. Suite 211,
Raleigh, NC 27604
Project Description:The project has been identified for the purpose of providing in-kind mitigation for unavoidable
stream channel and wetland impacts. Permits from the NC DWR and USACE will be obtained to restore watersof
the US. Soil and erosion control permits will also be obtained.The project encompasses 30 acresofdrainhydricsoils,
currently used for row crops. Approximately 30 acres of non-riparian wetland will be restored.
The term "cultural resources" refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites, structures, or artifact
deposits over 50 years old. "Significant"cultural resources are those that are eligible or potentially eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Evaluations of site significance are made with reference to
the eligibility criteria of the National Register(36 CFR 60)and in consultation with the North Carolina State
Historic Preservation Office(SHPO).
Field visits were conducted in March 2017 to conduct evaluations for presence of structures or features that
may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. No structures were identified within the Site
boundaries that may be eligible for the National Register. In addition to field reviews for historically relevant
structures, a records search was conducted at the SHPO office to determine if documented occurrences of
historic structures or artifacts occur within, or adjacent to the Site. The SHPO records identify no features
within the Site boundaries and no features within a 1.0 mile radius of the Site.
Typical SHPO coordination will occur prior to construction activities to determine if any significant cultural
resources are present; however, no constraints are expected at this time. We thank you in advance for your

timely response and cooperation. If we do not hear from you within X[+days, we will assume you
have no comments on the project. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may
have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.

Subject: T&E survey for rough-leaved loosestrife
Good Afternoon,
This email provides a summary of the results of an Axiom Environmental, Inc. (Axiom) federally protected species survey
at the Sliver Moon Wetland Mitigation Site. The approximately 31-acre site is located north of Old U.S. Highway 70 in
Craven County, NC.
Rough-leaved loosestrife
Typical habitat for rough-leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulaefolia) consists of the wet ecotone between longleaf
pine uplands and poorly drained, low shrub areas such as pocosins and Carolina bays. This species can also be found
within powerline easements and along roadsides where regular maintenance mimics fire and deters habitat
encroachment. Suitable habitat for rough-leaved loosestrife occurs within the site along the woodland edges and the
margins of ditches and streams where abundant sunlight and little herbaceous competition occurs. Systematic surveys
of suitable habitat were conducted by Axiom biologists on September 25, 2018, and identified no individuals. In
addition, a review of NCNHP records dated September 25, 2018, indicates there are no known occurrences within 1.0
mile of the site. The proposed project will have No Effect on rough-leaved loosestrife.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist with this project. If you have any questions about this information, please let us
know.
Sincerely,
Allison Keith

Opinion for Transportation Projects within the Range of the Indiana Bat and Northern
Long-eared Bat.
To whom it may concern:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service)has received your request dated to verify that the
Sliver Moon II (Proposed Action) may rely on the revised February 5, 2018, FHWA, FRA, FTA
Programmatic Biological Opinion for Transportation Projects within the Range of the Indiana
Bat and Northern Long-eared Bat(PBO) to satisfy requirements under Section 7(a)(2) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (87 Stat.884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Based on the information you provided(Project Description shown below), you have determined
that the Proposed Action will have no effect on the endangered Indiana bat(Myotis sodalis) or
the threatened Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). If the Proposed Action is not
modified, no consultation is required for these two species.
For Proposed Actions that include bridge/structure removal, replacement, and/or
maintenan ce activities: If your initial bridge/structure assessments failed to detect Indiana bats,
but you later detect bats during construction, please submit the Post Assessment Discovery of
Bats at Bridge/Structure Form(User Guide Appendix E)to this Service Office. In these
instances,potential incidental take of Indiana bats may be exempted provided that the take is
reported to the Service.
If the Proposed Action may affect any other federally-listed or proposed species and/or
designated critical habitat, additional consultation between the lead Federal action agency and
this Service Office is required. If the proposed action has the potential to take bald or golden
eagles, additional coordination with the Service under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
may also be required. In either of these circumstances,please advise the lead Federal action
agency for the Proposed Action accordingly.

Programmatic Consultation For Transportation Projects
Affecting NLEB Or Indiana Bat
This key was last updated in IPaC on March 16, 2018. Keys are subject to periodic revision.
This decision key is intended for projects/activities funded or authorized by the Federal Highway
Administration(FHWA), Federal Railroad Administration(FRA), and/or Federal Transit
Administration(FTA), which require consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service)under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for the endangered Indiana bat
(Myotis sodalis) and the threatened Nort hem long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis).
This decision key should only be used to verify project applicability with the Service's February
5, 2018, FHWA, FRA, FTA Programmatic Biological Opinion for Transportation Projects. The
programmatic biological opinion covers limited transportation activities that may affect either bat
species, and addresses situations that are both likely and not likely to adversely affect either bat
species. This decision key will assist in identifying the effect of a specific project/activity and
applicability of the programmatic consultation. The programmatic biological opinion is not
intended to cover all types of transportation actions.Activities outside the scope of the
programmatic biological opinion, or that may affect ESA-listed species other than the Indiana bat
or NLEB, or any designated critical habitat, may require additional ESA Section 7 consultation.

location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered,proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service)under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act(Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information.An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally-listed endangered or threatened species.A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally-protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species.As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species'presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect(i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally-protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect(i.e.,no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However,you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act(16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html).Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://

Re: Sliver Moon II Wetland Mitigation Site, Craven County, NC
Restoration Systems, LLC (RS), of Raleigh, NC has been awarded a contract by DMS to provide 30 Wetland
Mitigation Units at the Sliver Moon II Wetland Mitigation Site in Craven County, North Carolina.
One of the earliest tasks to be performed by RS is completion of an environmental screening and
preparation/submittal of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) document. This document is specifically required by the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to ensure compliance with various federal environmental laws and
regulations. DMS must demonstrate that its projects comply with federa I mandates as a precondition to FHWA
reimbursement of compensatory mitigation costs borne by the North Carolina Department of Transportation to
offset its projects' unavoidable impacts to streams and wetlands.
In order for the project to proceed, RS is obligated to coordinate with the NRCSto complete Form AD-1006 in
compliance with the Farmland Protection Policy Act on behalf of the FHWA. The purpose of this letteristorequest
your assistance in completion of the Form.
Project Location & Description
The Site is characterized by agricultural fields utilized for row crop production. All Site hydrology drains to the
south through a ditch network to Core Creek, located less than 1 mile south of the Site. The approximately
31.7-acre Site has been ditched/drained, cleared of vegetation, and is maintained for row crop production.
The Site is located in the Carolina Flatwoods portion of the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain ecoregion of North
Carolina. Regional physiography is characterized by flat plains on lightly dissected marine terraces, swamps,
Carolina bays, and low gradient sandy and silty bottomed streams(Griffith et al., 2002). Onsite elevations are
nearly level averaging 17 meters(NGVD)(USGS Cove City, North Carolina 7.5-minute topographic
quadrangle)/56 feet(NAVD 88)(NC One Map, Craven County LiDAR 2-foot elevation contours)
Restoration Means&Methods
Alternatives for wetland reestablishment are designed to restore a fully functioning wetland system, which will
provide surface water storage, nutrient cycling, removal of nutrients, and will create a variety and abundance
of wildlife habitat.
Portions of the Site underlain by hydric soils have been impacted by clearing of vegetation, ditch network
installation, agriculture plowing, row crop production, herbicide application, and other land disturbances
associated with land use management. Wetland reestablishment options should focus on the restoration of
vegetative communities, restoration of historic groundwater tables by filling ditches, and the reestablishment

of soil structure and microtopographic variations. These activities will result in the reestablishment of 30.0
acres of jurisdictional, non-riparian wetlands.
Restoration of vegetation allows for development and expansion of cha racteristic species across the landscape.
Ecotonal changes between community types contribute to diversity and provide secondary benefits, such as
enhanced feeding and nesting opportunities for mammals, birds, amphibians, and other wildlife. Inaddition,viable
vegetative communities will improve system biogeochemical function by filtering pollutants from overland and
shallow subsurface flows and providing organic materials.
Vegetative species composition will be based on Reference Forest Ecoysystems(RFEs), site-specific features, and

On Wednesday August 22, 2018, representatives of the Interagency Review Team (IRT) met
with representatives from North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS), Restoration
Systems (RS), and Axiom Environmental (AXE) at Sliver Moon II Mitigation Site to review
proposed site mitigation features and approaches. Below is a summary of what was discussed
onsite and how those comments will be addressed as the mitigation plan moves forward. In
addition to there being no serious concerns regarding the site viability, there was overall
agreement on the proposed level of intervention and the proposed credit strategy.
Notes:
• The IRT requested that the minimum hydroperiod for both soil map units be set at 12%.
RS noted that according to the guidance this is within the hydroperiod range for Rains
(10-12%) and Pantego (12-16%). Also, the IRT indicated well placement will need to
include areas where ditches have been filled in.
• There was discussion that adjacent land owners could potentially install ditches adjacent
to the Site which would affect the Site hydrology. RS indicated that we have been
actively speaking with adjacent property owners and we do not anticipate this issue
arising. The landowner to the north, where water is entering the Site, leases the land for
hunting purposes and is not inclined to install ditches for land management purposes.
Also, the adjacent landowners have existing ditches providing drainage.
• The IRT expressed concern that the site may receive more water than it can handle
making the site too wet. AXE indicated the same conditions are occurring in Sliver Moon
I where the vegetation has become established and includes a range of hydroperiods
meeting success. RS discussed that large shallow swales will be incorporated during
construction to create diffuse flow and direct flow across the site. DMS suggested talking
to the northern landowner to see if the pipes/water sources across the road could be
stabilized and incorporated with the diffuse flow paths.

• The IRT was not keen on the narrow southern leg of the Site as the connection to the
larger component of the project is—150-ft wide and there is potential for hydrologic
trespass. RS discussed that the drained hydric soils extend further south that what is
proposed for wetland restoration, and RS has been talking to the adjacent landowner
about different options to prevent hydrologic trespass.

Mitigation Plan—Response to comments during post-contract site visit 08-2018
During the Interagency Review Team's (IRT) post contract site visit to the Sliver Moon Mitigation Site
(Site), four comments/notes were provided by the IRT for consideration during the development of
the Mitigation Plan. Restoration Systems took each note into careful consideration and developed a
mitigation plan that would address each comment. Below are the comments received in black, and RS'
response in blue.
1. The IRT requested that the minimum hydroperiod for both soil map units be set at 12%.
RS' has set the success criteria hydroperiod for both soil map units to 12% (Section 8.1 of the
Mitigation Plan)
2. There was discussion that adjacent landowners could potentially install ditches adjacent to the
Site which would affect the Site hydrology. RS indicated that we have been actively speaking with
adjacent property owners and we do not anticipate this issue arising.The landowner to the north,
where water is entering the Site, leases the land for hunting purposes and is not inclined to install
ditches for land management purposes. Also, the adjacent landowners have existing ditches
providing drainage.
Regarding adjacent landowners and potential of ditching—Only a small portion of the Site abuts
active agricultural practices (southwest corner of the Site). This boundary is comprised of non-
hydric soils and is not proposed for wetland mitigation credit. The boundary is located along a
natural topographic split. That is, one parcel does not affect the other hydrologically. All other
boundaries and land uses are either well established (Daisy Lane eastern boundary) or existing
woodlands/wetlands where any draining or land use change would require a permit.
3. The IRT expressed concern that the Site may receive more water than it can handle making the
Site too wet. AXE indicated the same conditions are occurring in Sliver Moon I where the
vegetation has become established and includes a range of hydroperiods meeting success. RS
discussed that large shallow swales will be incorporated during construction to create diffuse flow
and direct flow across the Site. DMS suggested talking to the northern landowner to see if the
pipes/water sources across the road could be stabilized and incorporated with the diffuse flow
paths.
The design approach accentuates the Site's existing conditions and topographic features to ensure
surface water can move across and off the Site. It uses existing topographic depressions in
combination with a reintroduced surface flow pattern to capture and store ephemeral surface

water inputs from the northern boundary, and to allow those inputs to move freely across the
Site to the outfall located in the northeast corner of the Site. The elevation of the ephemeral
surface water inputs along the northern boundary, existing topographic depressions within the
Site, and adjacent land elevations were all used to determine the elevation of the proposed
surface water connections and the outlet elevation,to ensure hydrologic trespassing did not occur
under normal rain events. All parcels to the south of the Site have historic ditching, which is not
connected to the Site's ditches and will not be affected by the project.
4. The IRT was not keen on the narrow southern leg of the Site as the connection to the larger
component of the project is —150-ft wide, and there is potential for hydrologic trespass. RS
discussed that the drained hydric soils extend further south than what is proposed for wetland
restoration,and RS has been talking to the adjacent landowner about different options to prevent
hydrologic trespass.
In response to the IRT's comments regarding the narrow southern leg, RS completed negotiations
and incorporated —3 acres of property into the project from the western parcel. A natural
topographic ridge separates the Site's 'bump out' area from the acreage of the adjacent parcels
to the west and south, which are both in row crop production. The easement within this area is
offset by a minimum of 20-feet from the fee-simple parcels that surround the Site.
Soil subsidence from agricultural practices in combination with the Site being located in the
naturally low portion of the landscape, have resulted in the Site becoming lower than the
surrounding landscape and parcels. As briefly discussing in RS' answer to question 3, RS Site
surface flow connectors and the Site's outlet had all be set to elevation to ensure hydrologic
trespass does not occur.
Sincerely,
Raymond Holz
