The Bank Parcel Development Plan (BPDP) was approved in October 2020. The Parcel is located immediately adjacent to the Full Delivery North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) Perry Hill Mitigation Site, DWR Project No. 2019-0157v3 and DMS ID No. 100093 (DMS Site) (Figure 1). The project includes headwater systems that flow directly to Corporation Lake, a water supply reservoir on the Eno River which subsequently flows into Falls Lake and eventually into the Neuse River. The purpose of the Parcel is to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation credits to compensate for unavoidable impacts in the Neuse River Basin 03020201 Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) within the Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 2). 1.0 Introduction The Parcel was restored to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by creating a functional riparian corridor and restoring the riparian buffer. The Parcel expands the existing conservation easement of the riparian area from 100 feet adjacent to mitigated streams in the DMS Site out to 200 feet where possible. A conservation easement was recorded on the 15.52-acre Parcel in October 2020. Previously cattle had access to all streams but with the completion of construction on the Site in March 2021, the first 100 feet from the project streams were restored or enhanced via cattle exclusion, as a forested riparian area. 2.0 Parcel Location & Background 2.1 Location and Setting The Parcel is in Orange County, approximately 3 miles northwest of Hillsborough, NC (Figure 1). To reach the Parcel, traveling west on I40/85 from Raleigh/Durham, follow I40/85 to exit 161 for US-70 Connector North. Take a right at the bottom of the ramp and continue onto US-70 East (1.0 mile) via US-70 Connector North. Continue on US-70E (1.9 miles) before taking a left onto Faucette Mill Road. Continue (1.9 miles) and take a sight right onto Frank Perry Road. The Parcel will be on right (0.5 miles). The Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin 14-digit HUC 03020201030020 and DWR Subbasin 03- 04-01. The Parcel was restored for riparian buffer mitigation credit and nutrient offset credits in the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 within the Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 2). 2.2 Parcel Background Prior to construction, the Parcel consisted of active pasture used for cattle grazing and some woodlands. Cattle had access to all streams prior to Site implementation. In general, this area has maintained its rural, farming character over the last 81 years with only minor changes in land cover. Tables 2, 3, and 4 in Appendix A provide detailed information regarding the Project Activity and Reporting History, Project Contacts, and Project Information and Attributes. 2.3 Parcel Objectives The main objective of the Parcel was to reduce nutrient and sediment loading to the Neuse River receiving waters. Extending the riparian area beyond that of the DMS Site has created a wider and more functional riparian corridor. By removing cattle access and restoring the vegetation on areas up to 200 Perry Hill II Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 3 As-Built & Baseline Monitoring Report – May 2021 feet from the streams; the project is reducing nutrient and sediment inputs in the tributaries to the Eno River, and subsequently Falls Lake. 3.0 Restoration and Enhancement Activities Developing the Parcel for mitigation required converting existing livestock pasture within the riparian zone to forest. Native tree species establishment occurred in both the buffer and the nutrient offset restoration areas. The trees were planted by hand using dibble bars in rows running perpendicular to the channels. The revegetation plan for the Parcel included controlling invasive species, managing fescue competition, and planting bare root trees. Vegetation management and herbicide applications were implemented prior to planting activities to treat non-native, invasive species. Additionally, ring spray herbicide treatments were applied at the base of every planted bare root to aid in tree growth and will be re- treated as needed at the beginning of year two based on fescue re-establishment and tree growth. Soil amendments were incorporated per the BPDP. All compacted pasture areas were ripped to a depth of 12” or more parallel to channel with haul roads receiving ripping along lines with 3’ spacing and all other areas being spaced at 6’. Bare root trees selected for the Parcel were native riparian, wetland, and upland species typical for piedmont communities as defined by Schafale (1990). An appropriate seed mix was applied as necessary to provide temporary ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events in disturbed areas. This was followed by an appropriate permanent seed mixture, which includes pollinator species. Adjacent forested areas were also used as a reference for the Parcel. Trees were planted at a density of 575 trees per acre, and Table 6 lists the tree species that were planted on the Parcel. Wildlands restored the buffers and riparian areas by planting trees beyond the DMS Site out to 200’ from top of bank along all project streams. The easement was marked using conservation easement placards mounted on the fence surrounding the conservation easement, u-posts, and trees following the entirety of the boundary. The fence is offset by approximately two feet outside of the conservation easement boundary. These signs will be maintained and replaced if necessary, throughout subsequent monitoring years. In addition, the boundary line which marks the transition from the outer Bank to the inner DMS Site was delineated with U-posts mounted with placards. 4.0 Mitigation Potential and Deviations from the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) Of the 15.52 acres protected under the conservation easement, the mitigation activity for 15.37 acres is riparian restoration of which the sponsor is requesting 0.76 acres be used to generate riparian buffer restoration credit (Falls Lake Watershed) for a total of 32,984 square feet and requesting the remaining 13.55 acres restored riparian areas be used to generate nutrient offset credits within the Neuse 03020201. Additionally, there is 1.06 acres of buffer enhancement, via cattle exclusion within the conservation easement associated with buffer credit. No credit is claimed on 0.15 acres due to distance from project features. In general, riparian buffer restoration area widths on streams extend out to 100 feet from top of bank for Neuse River buffer credits and out to 200 feet for nutrient offset credits. A map detailing the credit generation is provided in Figure 3. Since approval of the BPDP, changes in as- built credits versus proposed are the result of minor shifts in stream features as compared to design due to differences in design projections (international feet) versus the construction model (US survey feet). This shift resulted in an increase of 0.15 acres of buffer restoration area and a decrease of 0.11 acres of nutrient mitigation area. Perry Hill II Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 4 As-Built & Baseline Monitoring Report – May 2021 5.0 Monitoring Protocol & Success Criteria Eleven 10-meter by 10-meter vegetation monitoring plots were installed within the buffer restoration area to measure the survival of the planted trees (Figure 4). The number of plots required was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling Protocol (CVS) Level 2. Vegetation assessments were completed in April 2021 following the CVS Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008). The as-built baseline data shows a planted tree density of 563 stems per acre (Appendix B, Table 7). This is well above the 260 stems per acre required at the end of year five monitoring. Each year a reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner of each vegetation plot, and all planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. Annual monitoring activities will begin in the fall of 2021 and will commence annually in September or October for the remainder of the monitoring period. Species composition, density, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot for the entire site. Wildlands shall submit to DWR an annual monitoring report, no later than December 31st of each year for five consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the BPDP signed in October 2020. Success criteria will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species, where no one species is greater than 50% of the established planted stems, and an established density of at least 260 planted trees and/or shrubs per acre at the end of monitoring year five. Appropriate and desirable native volunteer species may be included in the Parcel’s density to meet the performance standards with DWR approval. 6.0 Financial Assurance & Long Term Management 6.1 Financial Assurance After completion of the planting, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan, but not less than $100,000.00. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring period for a term of one year, to be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring. 6.2 Parcel Maintenance Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event that the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria. Site maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems that have a high likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include but are not limited to excess tree mortality caused by fire, flooding, drought, or insects. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. 7.0 References Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration. 2004.

(Wildlands) for an onsite mitigation determination near the above -referenced site (Site). The Site is located within the Upper Falls Lake Watershed of the Neuse River Basin in the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code. The Site is being proposed as part of a full -delivery nutrient offset, stream and riparian buffer mitigation project for the Division of Mitigation Services (RFP #16-007576). Members of the Interagency Review Team (IRT) and Division of Mitigation Services were also present onsite. At your request, on February 26, 2019, Ms. Merritt performed an onsite assessment of riparian land uses adjacent to streams onsite, which are shown on the attached map labeled "Concept Map". Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB) and. landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240.
