This year serves as Year Three of the required five year monitoring period. This report includes the following: Project History Wetland Hydrologic Monitoring Stream Bank, Riparian Buffer, and Wetland Vegetation Monitoring Stream Physical Monitoring Stream Biological Monitoring Monitoring Success Figure 1 — Vicinity Map Sheet 1 — Monitoring Plan Appendix A — Stream Photo Station and Bankfull Event Photos Appendix B — Vegetation Monitoring Plot Photos Appendix C — Stream Geomorphologic Data Appendix D — Stream Pebble Count Data Appendix E — Wetland Soil Data 1.2 Project History The project site is located immediately northwest of the intersection of Hammond Road and Rush Street in south Raleigh, North Carolina (Wake County). The total property is under the sole ownership of Bell Investments Limited Partnership and consists of approximately 49.7 acres. In conjunction with the widening of Hammond Road, a reach of stream adjacent to the road right -of -way and its adjacent wetlands was restored. Site restoration work included the construction of approximately 625 linear feet of stream channel and approximately 0.33 acres (14,375 square feet) of wetlands along an unnamed tributary of Wildcat Branch. Restoration including stream and wetland construction was performed by Kenneth -West Grading of Raleigh, NC between August 25 and September 22, 2009. Restoration utilized generally accepted natural channel design and construction methodologies to restore an appropriate dimension, pattern and profile for the stream. In- channel log and boulder structures, and coir and excelsior matting were utilized to stabilize the newly graded channel alignment and portions of the buffer area. Bank, buffer and wetland planting consisting of live stakes and bare root seedlings of various native tree and shrub species was performed by Gregory, Inc. of Angier, NC between January 27 and January 29, 2010. Herbaceous wetland plugs were also utilized within the restored wetland areas along with select on -site transplants. 2.0 MONITORING As -built data were collected following construction, between February 16h and February 17`h, 2010. Year Three data were collected on April 22`h and April 23'h, 2012. Benthic Monitoring initiated in the Spring of 2010 and will be performed annually through Year Three as verbally agreed upon with NCDENR -DWQ staff. This section includes; 1) wetland hydrologic monitoring, 2) vegetative monitoring, 3) stream physical monitoring, 4) stream biological monitoring, and 5) evaluation of overall site monitoring success. These data are provided for comparison of As -built through Year Three monitoring data. 2.1 Wetland hydrologic Monitoring During the as -built limited - engineering survey on February 12, 2010, the approximate boundaries of relocated wetlands (transplanted wetland soils) were identified. Annual hydrologic monitoring within these boundaries includes visual observation and soil evaluation utilizing shallow hand auger borings performed by Mike Ortosky, LSS of S &EC, NC Licensed Professional Soil Scientist ( #1075), as described below. Three soils monitoring points (A, B and C, see as -built plans) were established in February 2010 in order to establish a baseline for ongoing evaluation of the hydric soils within the wetland areas. The as-built evaluation of the soils in February 2010 (prior to growing season — high groundwater season) indicated hydric soil indicators in all three boring sites. The Year Three evaluation of the soils was performed in December, 2012 here again by Mr. Ortosky. Wet conditions and hydric soil indicators were observed at all three boring locations. Slightly darker colors in surface horizons are likely due to increased moisture and organic matter content. Also, some variations in soil texture and depth are a result of slightly offset location of soil borings. Similar evaluation of soil conditions during the late growing season will be performed for future monitoring years. Please refer to Appendix E for soil descriptions of the on- site relocated wetlands. Based on our site observations, wetland soil evaluation and the abundant and diverse wetland plant coverage (described below) within the relocated wetlands, these areas currently meet the criteria for jurisdictional wetlands. 2.2 Stream Bank, Riparian Buffer, and Wetland Vegetation Monitoring Success criteria for riparian buffer and wetland vegetation are based on the average number of live stems per acre across the site. A mean density of 260 stems per acre is required for riparian buffer and wetland vegetation plots at the end of the five -year monitoring period. Success criteria for bank vegetation are based on the survival of 50 percent of the planted live stakes, as counted during the as -built monitoring. Six (6) sample plots are located across the site to monitor vegetation within the restored wetlands, within the riparian buffer, and on the stream banks. The two (2) wetland vegetation monitoring plots are rectangular 5 meters x 20 meters (100 square meters, or approximately 1,075 square feet). The two (2) riparian buffer vegetation monitoring plots are square, 10 meters (32.8 feet) on each side (100 square meters, or approximately 1,075 square feet). The two (2) stream bank vegetation monitoring plots are each located along approximately 25 linear feet of the restored stream channel to monitor success of live stakes. The locations of all vegetation plots are identified on the Monitoring Layout (Sheet 1 of 1). Photos of each vegetation plot are included as Appendix B. As -built (baseline) vegetation counts were performed on February 11th and February 17th, 2010 by S &EC. Vegetation counts for Monitoring Year Three were performed on April 23`h, 2012 by S &EC. Vegetation monitoring data for riparian buffer and wetland vegetation plots was collected using Level 1 of the Carolina Vegetation Survey monitoring protocol. Live stake survival from the as -built monitoring count to Monitoring Year Three for the site overall is approximately 69 percent. Live stake counts by species and by plot are presented in the following tables: Live Stakes - As -built — Februa 17th 2010 Common Name SpeGies Bank 1 Bank 2 Species Total % of Total Silky Dogwood Cornus amomum 24 21 45 50% Silky Willow Sal& sericea 18 11 29 33% Elderberry Sambucus canadensis 5 10 15 1 17% TOTAL 47 42 89 Live Stakes - Year Three — A ri124'h 2012 Common Name Species Bank 1 Bank 2 Species Total % of Total Silky Dogwood Cornus amomum 13 18 31 51% Silky Willow Salix sericea 15 9 24 39% Elderbeffy Sambucus canadensis 3 3 6 10% TOTAL 31 30 61 100% Live Stake Survival = 66% 1 71% 69% (overall survival Based on the vegetation monitoring plots, the overall site planted woody stem density is 910 stems per acre for the as -built monitoring and 496 stems per acre for Monitoring Year Three.

In general, the survival rate of planted vegetation within wetland areas and along stream banks is high. Within portions of the stream buffer, the survival rate of planted vegetation was low at the time of the Year Three monitoring. Areas on -site with low planted vegetation survival were identified and have been brought to the attention of the Owner. The average number of planted woody stems per sample plot was 22 (buffer and wetland plots only) in the as-built condition. The average number of counted woody stems per plot was 12.25 for Monitoring Year Three. Volunteer woody and herbaceous species are appearing due to surrounding forested areas and the seed bank in the transplanted soil. Volunteer trees on -site are mainly Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styracif lua) Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) and Red Maple (Acer rubrum) saplings. Additional volunteer trees and shrubs on -site consist of Mulberry (Morus rubra), Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), Dogwood (Cornus florida), Persimmon (Diospyros Plots Year Three Planted Woody Stems, Year Three Totals Buffer 1 Buffer 2 Wetland 1 Wetland 2 Monitoring 4/2012 Box Elder Acer ne ndo 0 0 1 0 1 River Birch etula ni a 0 0 0 0 0 Buttonbush Ce halanthus occidentalis 1 1 1 1 4 Silky Dogwood Cornus amomum 1 1 7 11 20 Green Ash (Fraxinus enn lvanica ) 1 0 0 0 1 Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tuli i era ) 1 0 0 0 1 Black Gum N ssa lvatica 0 0 0 1 1 Willow Oak (Quercus hellos ) 1 0 0 0 1 Unknown Oak (Quercus s. ) 1 0 0 0 1 Black Willow Salix ni a 0 0 3 0 3 Silky Willow Salix sericea 0 0 5 0 5 Elderberry Sambucus canadensis 0 0 0 8 8 Unknown Species 0 0 3 0 3 Year Three Totals 6 2 20 21 49 Calculated Plot Live Stem Density stems/acre 242 81 809 850 Site Average Live Stem Density — Year Three 496 There is a total of twelve (12) different identifiable planted woody species represented within the six (6) sample plots.

Areas on -site with low planted vegetation survival were identified and have been brought to the attention of the Owner. The average number of planted woody stems per sample plot was 22 (buffer and wetland plots only) in the as-built condition.

Volunteer woody and herbaceous species are appearing due to surrounding forested areas and the seed bank in the transplanted soil. Volunteer trees on -site are mainly Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styracif lua) Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) and Red Maple (Acer rubrum) saplings. Additional volunteer trees and shrubs on -site consist of Mulberry (Morus rubra), Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), Dogwood (Cornus florida), Persimmon (Diospyros viriniana) and Black Willow (Salix nigra). Herbaceous vegetation within the wetland and stream bank areas on -site is dense and includes Tearthumb (Polygonum sagittatum), Climbing Hempvine (Mikania scandens), Asters (Symphyotrichum sp.), Beggar Ticks (Bidens sp.), Sedges (Carex sp.), St. John's Wort (Hypericum sp.), Pennsylvania Smartweed (Polygonum pensylvanicum), Soft Rush (Juncus effusus), Lizards Tail (Saururus cernuus) and others. With an average of 496 stems per acre during Monitoring Year Three, the vegetative component of the mitigation effort currently meets the established success criteria of at least 260 live stems per acre by the end of Monitoring Year 5. 2.3 Stream Physical Monitoring Four (4) cross - sections consisting of two (2) riffle -pool pairs were established on -site and are shown on the Monitoring Layout (Sheet 1 of 1). S &EC completed the as-built stream record, including a longitudinal profile and all cross - sections, on February 17`h, 2010. S &EC completed the field work for Monitoring Year Three on April 23`h, 2012. Comparative cross - section and longitudinal profile data from the as-built and Monitoring Years One, Two and Three data collection are included as Appendix C. Pebble counts were performed at each riffle and pool cross - section location. A total of 100 substrate particles were collected and measured at each cross - section in order to characterize substrate composition and gauge any change in substrate over time. The comparison of as-built and Year Three pebble count data shows that substrate composition varies within the restored stream section. The substrate within Riffle 1 consists mainly of fine to coarse gravel, the substrate within Riffle 2 consists mainly of very fine sand to coarse gravel, the substrate within Pool l consists mainly of very coarse sand to very fine gravel, and the substrate within Pool 2 consists mainly of very coarse sand to very fine gravel. Pebble count data from the as-built and Year Three monitoring is presented in Appendix D. Based on visual observation of the entire restored stream channel and in- channel structures, followed by the comparative analysis of the as -built and Year Three data sets, the restored channel is stable and exhibits little departure (vertical or horizontal) from the as-built conditions. Success criteria have been met in that the stream bedform features and cross - sections have remained stable (i.e. the stream has retained its restored Rosgen stream -type classification) through the current monitoring year. Accordingly, it is our opinion that Year Three monitoring of the stream channel confirms morphological success. 2.4 Stream Biological Monitoring On February 11`h, 2010 (As- Built) and April 23`h, 2012 (Year Three), qualitative aquatic species assessments were performed to evaluate the post- construction and initial recolonization of the restored stream reach by benthic macroinvertebrates, fish, and amphibians. Samples were taken via kicknet, dipnet, and visual inspection of rocks and leaf packs within the active channel. Benthic samples were taken both within the restored stream reach and, for comparison, upstream of the restored stream reach. The biological sampling performed during As -built Monitoring showed that the Restoration Reach contained the following aquatic taxa: • Amphibians • Two -lined Salamander (Eurycea cirrigera) — 1 adult • Green Frog (Rana clamitans) — 20+ tadpoles • Aquatic Isopods —1 • Crustaceans • White River Crayfish (Procambarus acutus) — 1 adult, 4 juveniles • Crayfish (Cambarus latimanus) —1 adult, 20+ juveniles • Ostracods —1 • Nematodes — 2 • Mollusks • Physid Snails— 50+ adults, 100+ egg masses • Limpets — 5 • Insects • Trichopterans ■ Freeliving/Netspinning Caddisflies — 20+ larvae • Dipterans • Chironomid Midges • Cricotopus sp. larvae — 20+ • Chironomus attenuatus larvae — 2 ■ Tipulid Cranefly Larvae — 5 ipt • Hemerans ■ Water Boatman —1 The biological sampling performed during As -built Monitoring showed that the upstream Reference Reach contained the following aquatic taxa: • Amphibians o Green Frog (Rana clamitans) — 20+ tadpoles • Amphipods — 3 • Crustaceans o Crayfish (Cambarus latimanus) — 5 juveniles • Mollusks • Physid Snails —10+ adults • Limpets — 5 • Insects • Trichopterans ■ Freeliving/Netspinning Caddisflies —1 larva • Dipterans • Chironomud Midges — • Cricotopus sp. larvae — 3 • Chironomus attenuatus larvae — 2 • Tipulid Cranefly Larvae — 2 7 ■ Syrphid Fly Larvae (Rat - tailed Maggots) — 2 The biological sampling performed during Monitoring Year Three showed that the Restoration Reach contained the following aquatic taxa: ' • Amphibians o Green Frog (Rana clamitans) —100+ tadpoles, several adults • Aquatic Isopods — 20+ • Crustaceans o White River Crayfish (Procambarus acutus) — 200+ adults • Mollusks o Physid Snails —100+ adults, 50+ egg masses • Insects • Trichopterans ■ Freeliving/Netspinning Caddisflies — 50+ larvae • Hemipterans ■ Water Boatman —100+ ■ Giant Water Bug —10+ adults • Odonates • Dragonfly Larvae — 100+ ■ Damselfly Larvae — 50+ The biological sampling performed during Monitoring Year Three showed that the upstream Reference Reach contained the following aquatic taxa: Amphibians o Green Frog (Rana clamitans) —10+ tadpole Crustaceans o White River Crayfish (Procambarus acutus) — 10+ adult Mollusks o Physid Snails — 50+ adults Based on the presence of the above- listed aquatic invertebrates and amphibians, we anticipate that future samples will show continued progression towards a diverse aquatic fauna. As vegetation grows and provides shade and decreased water temperatures for the restoration reach, invertebrates and other aquatic organisms will likely continue to recolonize this area. 2.5 Monitoring Success — Year Three Based on vegetation data collected within the vegetation monitoring plots, wetland evaluation, and stream physical and biological data, the site has met the required success criteria. 0 N O O N Oo 0 w rn 0 Oo z O 3 N N D V ' Uj C -pR- O z O z G> O C 0 NORTH 5CALE I" = 50' I I.
