This 5.71 acre Bank Parcel (1.31 acres of nutrient offset restoration area) is currently approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for use as a nutrient mitigation bank. The Bank Parcel is located on three (3) tracts of land in Orange County, North Carolina (Orange County Parcel Identification Numbers 9877207721, 9877520417, and 9876493633). More specifically, the Bank Parcel is located in the northwestern corner of Parcel Number 9876493633, southeastern corner of Parcel Number 9877207721, and in the southwestern corner of Parcel Number 9877520417. The proposed Bank Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin, inside of the Upper Falls Lake Watershed (8 -digit USGS HUC 03020201). Stormwater runoff from this site drains into an unnamed tributary of Forrest Creek (Stream Index #27- 2- 21 -2 -2). According to the N.C. Division of Water Quality Basinwide Information Management System (BIMS), Forrest Creek is classified as WS -11 (Water Supply II), HQW (High Quality Waters), and NSW (Nutrient Sensitive Waters) in this location. The nutrient offset restoration area within the Bank Parcel consists of 1.31 acres (Figure 2). The purpose of this Bank Parcel is to improve water quality within the Neuse River Basin and Falls Lake watersheds by providing off -site mitigation for both existing and proposed development requiring nutrient offsets. The Bank Parcel will provide 2,977.63 lbs /acre of nitrogen and 191.78 lbs /acre of phosphorous nutrient offset credit. This Bank Parcel has been established under the terms and conditions of the Forrest Creek Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank (Bank) made and entered into by Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX), acting as the Bank Sponsor, and DWQ. 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives The goals of this nutrient offset mitigation project are to: To improve the overall water quality and aquatic habitat in and around the unnamed tributary of Forrest Creek by reducing sediment into the streams caused by agricultural influences. To improve the richness and diversity of the plant species within the conservation easement. To provide perpetual protection for the unnamed tributary of Forrest Creek and associated Neuse River Riparian Buffer, as well as other riparian areas along Forrest Creek. These goals will be met through the following objectives: - By establishing a native plant community to match the endemic plant species at the Bank Parcel. - By reducing the quantities of exotic invasive species at the Bank Parcel through chemical methods. - By establishing a conservation easement to provide long -term protection for the Bank Parcel. - By donation of the conservation easement and all of its interests, in perpetuity, to an accredited or approved land trust or stewardship program. 2 ®A division of The John R McAdams Company, Inc 2.0 Vegetation Condition and Comparison Current stem counts (i.e. stem is defined as single living tree species) were calculated using vegetation plot monitoring data. Success will be defined as the survival of an average density of 320 trees per acre after five (5) years. As for Monitoring Year 2, the Bank Parcel had four (4) plots encompassing 0.0988 acres, containing 80 planted stems, which yielded a density of 809 planted stems per acre. When examining both planted and volunteer stems, the four (4) plots contain 107 planted and volunteer stems, which yielded a density of 1,083 trees per acre including planted and volunteer species. The planted vegetation survival threshold was met for all of the vegetation plots. In addition, the planted and volunteer vegetation survival threshold was met for all of the vegetation plots. Summary tables of the data collected are provided in Appendix B. 3.0 Methodology 3.1 Vegetation Monitoring Plots Baseline vegetation monitoring was conducted in accordance to CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (CVS -EEP, v4.2). All monitoring methodologies follow the most current templates and guidelines provided by EEP (EEP, 2010; EEP, 2011). All four (4) vegetation plots installed by EcoEngineering were located in Monitoring Year 2. Table 1 (Appendix B) provides a success summary for each vegetation monitoring plot. Based on the vegetation monitoring, all four (4) vegetation monitoring plots were above the five (5) year monitoring period requirement. Table 2 (Appendix B) provides a stem count total and planted stem total by each individual vegetation plot. Table 3 (Appendix B) provides a summary of only planted stem counts as compared to planted stem counts of the As Built. Vegetation monitoring plots were photographed and are located in Appendix C. Vegetation Monitoring Plot Data Sheets are provided in Appendix D. Each Vegetation Monitoring Plot Data Sheet provides measurements, location, and vigor of each planted species within a respective vegetation monitoring plot. 3.2 Photo Stations Photo documentation is essential to monitoring the success the Bank Parcel. Photos provide a visual assessment of the vegetation conditions. All seven (7) photo stations installed by EcoEngineering were located in Monitoring Year 1. Photographs were taken at high resolution using an Olympus FE -115 5.0 megapixel digital camera. The locations of the photo stations are depicted in the Monitoring Year 1 Exhibit (Appendix A, Figure 2). Photographs for the photo stations are located in Appendix E.

PL= Planted Species NT = Natural/Volunteer Species *Applicable only to AS BUILT. Due the lack of leaf out conditions on the majority of the planted stems and on site changes to plant composition associated with local nursery unavailability, the majority of the planted species within the monitoring plots were identified as "Unknown' and their location and size dimensions were recorded. The intent is to correctly identify the unknown species during the Monitoring Year I period. * *An Uhnus amencana was surveyed as part of the As Built even though it is not a species which was planted. Although the Ulmus americana stems are natural/volunteer stems which was already present at the time of monitoring, it was determined that these specific stems would continued to be monitored during the monitoring years. Table 3. Planted Species Comparison by Vegation Plot Forrest Creek UT -2; Orange County, NC Monitoring Year 2: October 17, 2012 EcoEngineering Project #: EBX -11020 Note: The difference between planted stems from the As Built and Monitoring Year 2 is due to species which were deemed "missing" or "dead" at the time of monitoring One possible explanation for "missing" species is due to thick herbaceous growth obscurring the species from identification during Monitoring Year 2. Therefore, it is possibbe "missing" species could grow larger than the herbaceous layer and allow for their identification and measurment in subsequent monitoring years. In addition, species which were deemed "dead" could survive in subsequent years because the species may have gone dormant at the time of monitoring while the roots of the species are surviving below ground. Therefore, in subsequent years the species could grow under more favorable conditions.
