EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Restoration Systems, LLC (Restoration Systems) has completed riparian buffer restoration at the Lane Island Mitigation Bank Parcel (hereafter referred to as the "Bank Parcel ") to intercept and treat agricultural runoff, which conveys pesticides, fertilizers, and animal wastes to local surface waters. The Bank Parcel is located approximately 6 miles west of Goldsboro, in Wayne County. This portion of Wayne County is located within the Neuse River Basin in United States Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit 03020201 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality subbasin 03- 04 -12). The Bank Parcel consists of 53 acres immediately adjacent to unnamed tributaries to the Neuse River, which will be used for both nutrient offsets and buffer impact credit generation. Prior to restoration, Bank Parcel land use was characterized by row crop agriculture and cleared of native forest vegetation. Bank Parcel reforestation, consisting of native hardwood species, was implemented within the entire 53 -acre Bank Parcel, extending up to 200 feet from the top of stream banks. The primary goals of this buffer restoration and nutrient offset project focused on reforestation with native species to 1) improve water quality by intercepting and retaining nitrogen, phosphorus, sediments, and fecal coliform conveyed by runoff from the upstream watershed.; 2) eliminate agricultural production and fertilization within riparian areas; 3) reduce sedimentation/siltation; 4) increase channel bank stability; 5) filter and reduce pollutants prior to entering the Neuse River; 6) serve as a wildlife corridor by providing connectivity to forested areas adjacent to the Bank Parcel; 7) provide increased habitat for aquatic and terrestrial wildlife; 8) restore shade to open waters of the Bank Parcel; and 9) prevent the potential utility of the Bank Parcel as animal waste spray fields. Overall, vegetation densities were above the required 320 stems per acre with an average of 949 tree stems per acre in the Fifth Monitoring Year (Year 2012). In addition, only one plot (Plot 9) was below success criteria, with 283 stems per acre (only one stem short in Plot 9). In line with Section IV of the Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Mitigation Umbrella Banking Instrument (signed by Restoration Systems and the North Carolina Division of Water Quality [NCDWQ] in March 2008) all mitigation activities have successfully been met based on monitoring requirements. Additionally, Restoration Systems has transferred the Bank Parcel Conservation Easement to the North Carolina Wildlife Habit Foundation (Appendix C). At this time with the transferred easement and successful five years of monitoring, Restoration Systems requests to accept the final release of generated credits.

The Bank Parcel is located approximately 6 miles west of Goldsboro, in Wayne County (Figure 1). This portion of Wayne County is located within the Neuse River Basin in United States Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit 03020201 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality subbasin 03- 04 -12). Prior to restoration, Bank Parcel land use was characterized by row crop agriculture cleared of native forest vegetation. Bank Parcel reforestation, consisting of native hardwood species, was implemented within the entire 53 -acre Bank Parcel, extending up to 200 feet from the top of stream banks. The primary goals of this buffer restoration and nutrient offset project focused on reforestation with native species to 1) improve water quality by intercepting and retaining nitrogen, phosphorus, sediments, and fecal coliform conveyed by runoff from the upstream watershed.; 2) eliminate agricultural production and fertilization within riparian areas; 3) reduce sedimentation/siltation; 4) increase channel bank stability; 5) filter and reduce pollutants prior to entering the Neuse River; 6) serve as a wildlife corridor by providing connectivity to forested areas adjacent to the Bank Parcel; 7) provide increased habitat for aquatic and terrestrial wildlife; 8) restore shade to open waters of the Bank Parcel; and 9) prevent the potential utility of the Bank Parcel as animal waste spray fields. As constructed, the Bank Parcel provides 53 acres of riparian buffer restoration immediately adjacent to unnamed tributaries to the Neuse River, which will be used for both nutrient offsets and buffer impact credit generation. A Bank Parcel Development Package and Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Mitigation Umbrella Banking Instrument were completed for the Bank Parcel in March 2008. The plan outlined methods designed to reforest the entire 53 -acre Bank Parcel with native species. Carolina Silvics planted the Site during February 2008. An additional 500 stems of persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) were planted within the Site in late 2008 /early 2009 due to seedling mortality noted during first year monitoring (2008). Seedling mortality resulted from drought conditions that immediately followed Site planting and continued throughout most of the 2008 monitoring season. Additional stems were planted in the vicinity of vegetation plots 8 and 9 on December 3, 2010; additional planting and vegetation success were subsequently approved during a Site visit with NCDWQ representative Lia Gilleski on December 15, 2010. This monitoring report outlines the fifth year of consecutive successful vegetation. The methods implemented and monitored have resulted in the successful restoration of 53 acres of riparian buffer.

Outlined in Part 3 of the Lane Island Bank Parcel Development Package monitoring of restoration efforts were performed for five consecutive years. Monitoring of vegetation occurred within twenty -seven sample plots, installed shortly after planting to equally represent the Bank Parcel (Figure 2). Each plot measures 10- meters by 10- meters (0.0247 acre). The vegetation parameters monitored in each plot included species composition and species density. During the first year, vegetation received visual evaluations on a periodic basis to ascertain the degree of overtopping of planted species by nuisance species. Subsequently, quantitative sampling, of vegetation was performed during the fall of each monitoring year for five consecutive years. 2.1 Vegetation Success Criteria Success criteria were established to quantify the density and growth of "Character Tree Species." Character Tree Species include planted species, those observed in forest stands near the Bank Parcel, and those listed in appropriate community descriptions from Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990). "Characteristic Tree Species" include, but are not limited to species listed in Table 1. Table 1. Character Tree Species Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) Black cherry Prunus serotina River birch (Betula nigra) Southern red oak (Quercus falcata) Mockernut hickory (Carya alba) Swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii) Sugarberry (Celtis laevigata) Water oak (Quercus nigra) Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) Cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda) Silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) Willow oak (Quercus phellos) Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvamca) Northern red oak (Quercus rubra) Swamp blackgum (Nyssa biflora) Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) Sycamore (Platanus occidentahs) American elm (Ulmus americana) Lane Island Mitigation Bank Parcel pg 3 Annual Monitoring Report (Yr 5) October 20 t2 Vegetation success criteria for the Bank Parcel consist of an overall density of at least 320 stems per acre five years after initial planting. Additional seedlings were expected to sprout from adjacent forested community seed sources and were also counted in the overall success rate for the Bank Parcel provided they are native hardwood tree or Character Tree Species. No quantitative sampling requirements were proposed for herb assemblages as part of the vegetation success criteria. Development of floodplain forests over several decades will dictate the success in recruitment and establishment of desired understory and groundcover populations. Coverage of herbaceous species was documented through annual photographs. Photographs of the vegetation plots for year five monitoring are included as Appendix A. 2.0.2 Vegetation Sampling Results and Comparison to Success Criteria Quantitative sampling of year five vegetation monitoring was conducted in late September 2012. Results are provided in Table 2. Fifth year vegetation success criteria of 320 stems per acre was exceeded for the 2012 annual monitoring year with an average density of 949 stems per acre. Additionally, each individual plot met success criteria with the exception of Plot (9), which was one stem shy of making success criteria. Supplemental planting which last occurred in December of 2010 in the area of vegetation plots 8 and 9 continues to do well through the Year 5 (2012) monitoring season. The success of year 5 monitoring marks five consecutive years of successful vegetative development based upon the guidelines outlined above. Table 3 summarizes the vegetation monitoring over the past five years. Lane Island Mitigation Bank Parcel pg 4 Annual Monitoring Report (Yr 5) October 2012 3.0 CONCLUSIONS As a whole, vegetation density across the Bank Parcel were above the required 320 stems per acre with an average of 949 tree stems per acre in the fifth monitoring year (Yr. 2012). In addition, each individual plot met success criteria with the exception of Plot (9), which was one stem under success criteria. Supplemental planting which last occurred in December of 2010 in the area of vegetation plots 8 and 9 continues to do well through the year 5 (2012) monitoring season. Table 3 summarizes vegetation plot results for the Bank Parcel throughout the five year monitoring period. The large increase in average tree stems per acre between monitoring year 1 and monitoring years 2 -5 was due to the increase of natural successional recruits particularly that of red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and black gum / swamp tupelo (Nyssa sp.). Higher natural seedling recruits occurred near existing natural seed sources, within and around monitoring plots 11, 20, and 26. Seedlings of these species overall are very small in size averaging 0.5 -1 feet in height, and are of no concern to the regeneration of a native hardwood forest community. Likewise, concerns over the increase in Baccharis halimifolia (eastern baccharis) recruits outlined by the NCDWQ in response to the year 4 monitoring should not affect regeneration of a native hardwood forest. Baccharis is a native successional understory species, its presence is consistent with the Bank Parcel's primary goals of improving water quality through intercepting and retaining nitrogen, phosphorus, sediments, and fecal coliform conveyed by runoff from the upstream watershed during the early development succession. In addition, a strong native understory provides increased habitat for terrestrial wildlife while limiting the ability of invasive understory species such as Ligustrum to establish within the Bank Parcel. Lastly, planted hardwood saplings are continuing to thrive in areas with strong baccharis recruitment (plots 3, 4, & 5). It is likely that once a hardwood canopy is established baccharis numbers will slowly recess as the understory becomes heavily shaded. With overall densities of planted trees and shrubs well -above the fifth year requirement of 320 stems per acre and all other restoration activities successfully met, Restoration Systems is prepared to accept the final release of generated credits. Restoration Systems is prepared for an on -site review by the NCDWQ.
