Executive Summary
Eco Terra Partners, LLC (Eco Terra) respectfully presents this Mitigation Banking Prospectus to
provide private commercial riparian wetland mitigation credits in the Neuse River Basin
Cataloging Unit (CU) 03020202. Eco Terra owns the proposed project parcel fee simple and will
establish a 20.6 acre conservation easement that would comprise the Memorial Wetland
Mitigation Site, hereinafter referred to as "Site" or "MWMS" located in Lenoir County, seven
miles south of the City of Kinston off HWY 58 (Figure 1). The Site consists of a single parcel
owned by Eco Terra (NC HWY 58, LLC) (PIN: 452200944778) (35.183542, -77.562278), which is a
bank parcel within the proposed Eco Terra NUO2 Umbrella Mitigation Instrument, herein
referred to as "Bank." The Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site is within Hydrologic Units
03020202050010 in the Neuse River Basin. The Site will include the restoration of degraded
non-riparian wetlands in the Neuse River Basin connecting a larger forested wetland landscape.
The Neuse River is defined as Class C, NSW according to the NC Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ). The Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site will provide both ecological and water
quality benefits within the Neuse River Basin by achieving overarching goals of the CU according
to the NC Division of Mitigation Service's (NCDMS) 2018 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities
(RBRP) document. Goals specific to this Site include promoting nutrient and sediment reduction
in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers.
Although many of these benefits are limited to the actual Site location, others, such as sediment
and pollutant removal and improved wildlife habitats, have larger overall effects. Site
components include:
• Reestablishment of non-riparian wetlands
• Removal of invasive species, as necessary
• Pasture animal exclusion from restored wetlands and buffer areas
• Reduction of nutrient, sediment, and fecal coliform to the non-riparian wetlands and
adjacent headwater wetlands to tributary to Mott Swamp
• Restoration/enhancement of riparian corridors for wildlife
The Site will result in substantial ecological improvements including but not limited to terrestrial
and aquatic habitat improvements, and overall protection of a continuous forested wetland
corridor in perpetuity.
Project implementation will include filling existing drainage ditches and/or destroying and
removing drain tiles, minor site grading, restoring wetland hydrology, planting site-specific
hardwood trees and shrubs, permanent seeding with wetland mixes, treating invasive plant
species (as necessary), and reconnecting restored non-riparian wetlands to adjacent forested
wetland areas. The specific tree species chosen will depend on availability at the time of
planting and detailed in the Mitigation Plan. The restored non-riparian wetland areas will be
protected with a conservation easement in perpetuity.

Preliminary mitigation estimates suggest that MWMS will produce 15.94 Wetland Mitigation
Units. These estimates will be refined once comprehensive surveys and designs have been
completed.

Introduction
The Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site hereinafter referred to as "Site" or "MWMS" is located in
Lenoir County, approximately seven miles south of the City of Kinston off HWY 58 (Figure 1). The
Site consists of a single parcel owned by Eco Terra Partners, LLC (PIN: 452200944778)
(35.183542, -77.562278) and is part of the proposed Eco Terra NUO2 Umbrella Mitigation Bank,
herein referred to as "Bank." The project includes proposed restoration of a non-riparian
wetland system in the Neuse River Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020202. The Site is located
within 14-digit HUC 03020202050010. Additional goals include land use conversion to a
natural, native ecosystem, the promotion of water infiltration on-site, and reduction of both
nutrient and sediment runoff from the existing pasture animal operation.
These goals and objectives are consistent with the NC Division of Mitigation Services 2018 RBRP
document and will directly address multiple stressors and make a positive contribution to overall
water quality issues in the basin.
By combating these issues at their sources and within large non-riparian areas, maximum
ecological uplift can be achieved. Specifically, fecal coliform from the pasture animal operations
will be filtered and sequestered, thus reducing nutrients reaching headwaters to Mott Swamp.
The goals and objectives of the Bank are defined in Table 1.
Purpose, Need, and Feasibility
The purpose of the MWMS is to establishment of a compensatory umbrella mitigation bank in
the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020202) to generate mitigation credits that may be used to
provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to wetlands associated with
Department of the Army permit authorizations pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
The MWMS will provide mitigation for unavoidable losses of jurisdictional wetlands through
effective uplift measures. Restoration activities will focus on improving water quality, restoring
aquatic and terrestrial habitats, and providing nature with a "head-start" to overcome the
previous and on-going impacts from land use conversion and site disturbance. The goals and
objectives of the Bank are defined in Table 1.

Site implementation will help address the overarching CU need for wetland restoration,
contribute to reduced nutrient inputs and improved water quality, and protect and preserve
conservation lands in perpetuity. Implementation feasibility was determined through
preliminary on-site surveys of historical non-riparian wetland areas, soils, site hydrology,
adjacent land ownership, topography and proximity streams or natural crenulations, existing
vegetation, current land use, and drainage networks.
Site investigations and desktop mapping reveal an appropriate area suitable for non-riparian
wetland restoration including landscape position, presence of hydric soils that are adequately
drained to support forage crop vegetation, and lacking proximity to a natural topographic
crenulation. No site constraints such as drainage flow patterns affecting adjacent landowners
from the proposed restoration work is anticipated.
Service Area
The MWMS will provide in-kind mitigation credit to offset wetland impacts within the Neuse
River Basin 03020202 (Figure 5).
Current Ownership
Eco Terra owns the property fee simple and will establish a Conservation Easement on the
proposed Site within the larger, approximately 21.16 acre contiguous farm property. The total
proposed easement coverage is approximately 20.6 acres. Property information is provided in
Table 2a. The site security documentation is provided in Appendix A. This agreement allows
Eco Terra to proceed with the Site establishment and to restrict the land use in perpetuity
through a conservation easement. Eco Terra will provide copies of the deed of easement, title,
survey, and map upon establishment of the Bank parcel and Umbrella Mitigation Banking
Instrument. Adjacent landowners to the Bank site are provided in Table 2b.

Fisher Creek I Pickens County, GA
Eco Terra facilitated the acquisition and ultimate conservation of 90.44 acres of land located in
Pickens County via placement of a conservation easement on the property. To ensure project
success, Eco Terra engaged and managed various consultants ranging from baseline specialists
to permitting experts, including working with the council for Foothills Land Conservancy to
formulate the appropriate easement language. The Eco Terra team also managed all title
transactions and ultimately delivered a clean title record that would result in successful project
completion. The site is within the high priority Talking Rock Creek Watershed (0315010205) and
is proximal to several existing protected easement tracts. The property includes State Wildlife
Action Plan (SWAP) significant habitats, small wetlands, forests, and a stream corridor. The
recorded easement has proved beneficial to the protection of water quality in a watershed that
is recognized as significant by the State of Georgia.
Boseman Buffer Mitigation Site I Rocky Mount, NC
Eco Terra was awarded a full delivery contract through the NC Division of Mitigation Services to
provide 610,000 riparian buffer credits in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. The project will connect
two tributaries to the Tar River and restore a forested riparian corridor originating in the
headwaters of the tributary watersheds. Eco Terra has constructed the project and completed
the Year 1 Monitoring. Eco Terra is on schedule to meet contracted deliverables.
Browns Chapel I Oglethorpe County, GA
Eco Terra facilitated the acquisition and ultimate conservation of 86 acres of land located in
Oglethorpe County via placement of a conservation easement on the property. Located within
the Broad River watershed, the property contains high priority habitats as defined by the
Georgia SWAP and includes approximately 0.52 miles of perennial streams and a small area of
jurisdictional wetlands. The preservation of the property also ensured the protection of a wildlife
corridor along the main tributary of Indian Creek. Eco Terra worked with the landowners to
explain the potential benefits of a conservation easement, managed multiple consultants
throughout the process, engaged with the Southern Conservation Trust for final language on
the conservation easement, and ultimately recorded the conservation easement deed when the
landowners elected to conserve the land.

VHB is a full-service engineering, environmental, planning, and design firm providing services
throughout the eastern United States. Its staff provide complex mitigation design solutions for
projects throughout the eastern US. VHB employs more than 1,500 professionals working from
30 locations along the east coast. Project examples are provided below.
Ellington Branch Full Delivery Stream Restoration Project I Warren County, NC
VHB's staff completed and successfully closed out this full delivery project in the upper Roanoke
River Basin, in Warren County. It included 5,000 linear feet of Priority Level 1 restoration along
Ellington Branch and one of its unnamed tributaries.
Responsibilities included all engineering and environmentally-related tasks, recordation of a
Conservation Easement, existing channel and topographic surveys, reference reach surveys,
natural channel designs, hydraulic modeling, resource agency coordination, permitting,
construction and construction management, buffer restoration, as-built plans, and five years of
annual monitoring. Project goals were to decrease sedimentation, improve water quality and
increase wildlife habitat via creation of a continuous wooded stream corridor, restoration of the
two stream channels and restrict access to lands currently being utilized for pasture and cattle
grazing. The approach to the project concentrated on removing existing sources of impairment,
including livestock, and creating new, stable channels based on reference reach data.
During project closeout, the results quantified that sediment inputs were reduced more than 96
percent on Ellington Branch and 98 percent along its unnamed tributary. Vegetation counts
were well above the minimum per acre requirements and water quality showed observable
improvements.
Watts Stream, Wetland, and Buffer Restoration Project I Perquimans County, NC
VHB recently completed and assisted with the close-out of this first-order stream, non-riparian
wetland, and upland buffer project with DMS in Perquimans County, NC. This innovative project
type was relatively new to existing mitigation requirements during its design phase in 2012. VHB
designed the headwater channel without using a particular channel classification or layout. Little
guidance was available during this phase and the project has been strictly monitored since
implementation. The project goal is ecological uplift including the restoration of ecological
function, the improvement of overall water quality and enhancement of native wildlife habitat.
Three main components; stream, wetland, and buffer restoration, served as the dominant inputs
for achieving this goal. VHB and DMS closed out the project successfully in October of 2020.
As part of the overall scope, VHB's staff installed and monitored ground and surface water wells
across the project site to determine the water budget, completed all environmental reports and
documentation, mitigation designs, construction drawings, erosion and sediment control plans,
project manuals, and construction oversight.

Charles Williams (Sandy Creek) Stream, Wetland, and Buffer Mitigation Project I Randolph
County, NC
VHB staff recently closed-out monitoring efforts at this project site located in northeastern
Randolph County near the Town of Liberty. This design-bid-build project included
approximately 2,000 linear feet of stream enhancement along an unnamed tributary of Sandy
Creek, 15 acres of buffer enhancement, and two acres of wetland enhancement. Project
implementation occurred during the 2010/2011 winter season. The goals were to reduce
nutrient and sediment water quality stressors, provide for uplift in water quality functions,
improve instream and wetland aquatic habitat, including riparian terrestrial habitat, and provide
for greater overall instream and wetland habitat complexity and quality. The objectives were to
exclude livestock in its entirety from the Conservation Easement area, install stream structures
and plantings designed to maintain vertical stability, lateral stability, and habitat, revegetate and
supplement those areas lacking suitable vegetation along the easement area, and rip the
existing compacted soils throughout the areas void of woody vegetation.
UT Altamahaw Stream and Buffer Enhancement Project I Alamance County, NC
VHB staff completed monitoring efforts and a successful closeout of this Piedmont
enhancement site. The UT Altamahaw Creek Stream and Buffer Enhancement Site is located
approximately six miles west-northwest of Burlington in Alamance County. Approximately 1,477
linear feet of perennial stream channel and 0.026 acres of jurisdictional wetlands were enhanced
within the 3.6-acre easement area.
Project implementation included supplemental riparian buffer planting under the mitigation
category of stream enhancement (Level II), auxiliary spillway stabilization immediately outside of
the easement area, and design of a modified level spreader to diffuse surface runoff in the
vicinity of the existing stream crossing. In addition, the Alamance County Soil and Water
Conservation District also provided plans and construction oversight for enhancing the current
stream crossing, adjacent pasture areas, fencing, and livestock watering facilities.
Current land use was the main reason for degradation throughout the Project Site. Livestock
were offered no barriers across the property which resulted in degradation to the two unnamed
tributaries and associated wetland and riparian buffer areas. By removing livestock from the
conservation easement area and planting supplemental vegetation along the existing stream
corridors, the project kick-started natural and biological processes, providing the desired
ecological uplift. It has also improved the overall function and habitat associated with the stream
channel and riparian areas.
The goals were to reduce nutrient and sediment water quality stressors, provide for uplift in
water quality functions, improve instream and wetland aquatic habitat, including riparian
terrestrial habitat and provide for greater overall instream and wetland habitat complexity and
quality. One main component, stream enhancement, served as the dominant input for achieving
this goal.

planning, installation, management, maintenance, and monitoring. SWE group staff has
experience with over a dozen mitigation projects and banks in North Carolina and on the
Atlantic coast including projects restoring a variety of wetlands, streams, coastal estuaries, water
resource buffers, nutrient offset forested buffers, and upland forest habitats. An example project
is the Flat Swamp Neuse Riparian and Nutrient Offset Buffer Mitigation Bank, described in the
following text.
Flat Swamp Neuse Riparian and Nutrient Offset Buffer Mitigation Bank
SWE Group developed and implemented the design and construction of the 386-acre parcel
designated for Neuse riparian and nutrient offset buffer mitigation on behalf of the bank
sponsors. At the time, SWE successfully worked with the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)
in establishing the Bank Parcel in the Flat Swamp Creek watershed within the USGS HUC
03020202 of the Neuse River Basin. The Bank was successful, restoring Neuse riparian buffer
vegetation and nitrogen nutrient offset buffer vegetation (identical to non-riparian wetland
hardwood flat species), and improving water quality by reducing nutrients and sediment
entering the headwaters of Flat Swamp Creek. The Bank monitoring period ended on schedule
providing approximately 20.3 acres of Neuse River Riparian Buffer credits and 763,455 lbs. of
nitrogen offset credit. At the five-year close-out, tree survival of 250,000 planted trees was over
90% with 687 trees/ac averaging 14 feet in height and 2.0 inches in diameter, making it one, if
not the most successful restoration sites in the State according to NC Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ).
Existing Conditions
The Bank Site is located within one parcel (-21.16 ac) that is currently in active pasture animal
management (Figure 2). Drone Deploy elevation mapping and NC Floodplain LIDAR data shows
the Site topography is flat and slightly lower
than the surrounding landscape (Figure 3),
with hydrology draining generally north.
The Site can be accessed via a dirt farm road '1 {
on the west side of NC HWY 58,
approximately seven (7.0) miles south of the - _ --
city of Kinston (35.183542, -77.562278). The {
Site is surrounded on most sides by forested
areas, totalingapproximately 970 acres of
p p Y .��
forested land, most likely used for silviculture ' -f
activities. Perimeter ditches exist along all i � :
four property boundaries. The northern `Y# s �
boundary perimeter ditch collects Facing north across pasture and restoration area within
hydrology from the interior ditches and the proposed Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site, Lenoir
serves as the main source of outflow for County, NC
the property. This outflow ditch flows
through a mosaic of uplands and wetlands towards Mott Swamp, approximately one and a half
miles to the north. The ditch located west of and nearest to the barns connects the south
eca4kterra. Eco Terra NU02 Umbrella Mitigation Bank - Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site I 10

Eco Terra Partners, LLC I Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site
perimeter ditch to the northern perimeter ditch and provides offsite drainage from the forested
southern parcels.
There are small, short drainpipes (-6) extending from the pasture into several of the drainage
ditches. These drainpipes were installed sporadically in compacted soil areas along interior
ditches and the perimeter ditch to drain ponded areas following rain events. These areas have
been compacted by cattle and other pasture animals. The existing ditch drainage system
effectively drains the historical wetland areas within the non-riparian wetland system. The
primary source of hydrology is rainfall and groundwater.
Historical aerials denote that land use, including the ditch network, has been consistent since
1950 (Figure 4). The grazed areas have been heavily disturbed and managed to allow livestock
rotation along with ditches and field crowning that modify Site hydrology to decrease the water
table. Periodic nutrient-laden runoff with some sediment is entering the ditch system from
these areas on an annual basis. The historic wetland area in the field was in pasture forage
grasses such as Coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dacty/on), Fescue ( Festuca sp.), as well as a few
examples of Juncus effusus(OBL) and Rumex obtusifolius(FACW), and other herbaceous plants
this past growing season. This is indicative of the historical site disturbance to the wetland area.
The Site drains generally north toward an adjacent property that eventually connects to Mott
Swamp and its associated forested wetlands. These areas together combined with the proposed
Bank and surrounding forested areas, will result in an increasingly connected forested wildlife
habitat corridor within the Mott Swamp watershed and Middle Neuse Basin.
14- Digit HUC Watershed Description and County Land Use
According to the NC Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) Neuse River Basin Restoration
Priorities (RBRP), amended 2018, the Site is located in a Targeted Local Watershed, 14-digit HUC
03020202050010, named Southwest Creek (Figure 5). Land use in the surrounding area is
primarily agricultural, forested, and single-family residential. The watershed has seen an increase
in impervious area by 2.89% and has lost 13.79 acres of wetlands. The watershed is characterized
as having 55% of the streams lacking a buffer, 48% of the land area is in agriculture, and there
are 35 livestock operations. Agricultural BMPs have been implemented to reduce inputs to
waterways.
Lenoir County remains mostly undeveloped aside from the area in and surrounding the Town of
Kinston. The County's population has decreased 5.9% since the 2010 census.
Soils and Geology
The Site is located in a relatively flat area underlain by the Torhunta, Woodington, Stallings, and
Grifton soil series. The overall Site is flat to gently sloping (0-2%) to the north. The soils at the
Project Site are briefly summarized in Table 2 and depicted on Figure 6.

a depth of 12 to 30 inches for five months of the year. Undrained inclusions of hydric soils in
this series will have a water table from the surface to a depth of 12 inches for five to six months
of the year.
Grifton soils in their undrained state exhibit deep profiles, are poorly drained, have very low
runoff, and moderately high to high permeability. The water table in an undrained Grifton soil is
found from the surface to a depth of 12 inches for five to six months of the year.
Torhunta, Woodington, and Grifton series soils are hydric soils according to the National Hydric
Soil List (NRCS, 1995). Stallings soils have inclusions of hydric soils such as Rains and
Woodington series.
Geologically, the Bank Site is located in the Coastal Plain Physiographic Region and Middle
Atlantic Coastal Plain EPA Level III ecoregion, Carolina Flatwoods (Level IV ecoregion 63h). The
Carolina Flatwoods has little topographic relief, wide uplands, and large areas of poorly drained
soils. This region has experienced numerous cycles of erosion and deposition, exposing and
submerging uplifted Quaternary clay, silt, sand, and gravel deposited over Tertiary sand and
carbonates. These processes along with sea level changes over time have resulted in terraces
forming along streams and rivers eroding through younger deposits.

the northern perimeter ditch and ultimately, off-site. The remaining four interior ditches
originate within the Project Site and have no direct hydrologic connection to the southern
perimeter ditch. The interior ditches average two feet in depth near their origination and
approximately three feet near the confluence with the northern perimeter ditch. Overall width
of the interior ditches increases with northward movement across the Site
Credit Area Determination
The credit area depicted in Figure 10 was determined by on-site investigations of the ditch/drain
tile network, topography, adjacent soils, location of topographic crenulations and any existing
streams, and existing and proposed hydrologic conditions. Buffered areas surrounding the
proposed wetland restoration area will be used to protect the wetland area from encroachment
and adjacent land uses.
Documented Cultural Resources
The NC State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) online mapping resource was reviewed to
determine the presence of known historic resources at or near the Project Site. According to the
database, there are no known cultural resources within one mile of the project area (Figure 8).
Protected Species
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAC)
species list, dated March 19, 2020, for the project site identifies three federally listed species and
two at-risk species. A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer report,
dated May, 2021 did not identify any known occurrences of federally listed species within one
mile of the Site. As part of Mitigation Plan, a concurrence request using the Self-Certification
Letter will be submitted to the USFWS Raleigh Field Office.

Airports
There are no airports within a five-mile radius of the Project (Figure 9).
Adjacent and Proximal Planning Elements
The NCNHP identifies one natural heritage natural area within a five-mile radius of the Project
Site (Figure 9). In addition, there are five managed areas (private and state) within a five-mile
radius of the Site. No other elements were identified.
Other Site Constraints
The Bank is not located within a 100-year floodplain. There are no other known constraints
within the Site. There are no local permits required for this project and there are no known
easements at or near the Project Site that would prevent project implementation.
Site Development
The Site proposes to restore at most 15.94 acres of non-riparian wetlands for a total of 15.94
WMUs (Figure 10). The Site will restore wetland hydrology and establish native hardwood trees
throughout the restored areas. The credit calculation is stated below (Table 5).
Table 5:Proposed Mitigation Credits
Site Component Mitigation Wetland Acreage Ratio Total Credit Amount
Approach
Drained Wetland Area Re-establishment 15.94 1:1 15.94 WMUs
WMU = Wetland Mitigation Unit
Wetland Restoration Approach
A non-riparian Hardwood Flat (NCWAM), Non-riverine Wet Hardwood Forest (Oak Flat Subtype)
(NCNHP), (Schafale, M.P., 2012) wetland will be restored through re-establishment in areas
where the hydrology is negatively impacted by drainage ditches and past site and soil
disturbances. All five of the interior ditches will be plugged/filled throughout the property to
the confluence with the northern perimeter ditch. The southern, western, northern and a new
proposed ditch will remain in the existing configuration to prevent hydrologic trespass on
adjacent parcels (Figure 7). No hydrologic trespass is anticipated on adjacent parcels with the
proposed wetland restoration activities, design, abutting soils, and Site landscape position.
Minor grading, no deeper than six inches may occur between the ditches to remove any field
crowns, compacted soils, and highly disturbed areas from past agricultural activities that are
shown during a detailed topographic survey. Additional grading may be required to fill the
main interior ditch, promote micro site topography to increase depressional storage, and ensure
success of the wetland restoration. In areas with heavy livestock compacting, the underlying
soils may be ripped to facilitation increased infiltration. The small drainpipes along the
perimeter ditches will be removed. The entire easement area will be planted with native

Eco Terra Partners, LLC I Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site
hardwood trees to promote the growth of vegetation typically found in a Non-riverine Wet
Hardwood Forest (Table 5). Actual species composition will be based on availability, cost, and
amounts.
The on-site soils exhibit indicators of hydric soils and the proposed increase in hydroperiod will
provide similar conditions to those associated with hydric soil formation. A water budget
analysis will be conducted during the design phase to demonstrate the volume of water
currently exiting the site and the volume that is expected to be retained post-construction.

Marking and Protecting of Easement Boundary
The easement boundary will be protected in perpetuity. It has been agreed upon by the
landowners and provides adequate protection for all resources proposed as part of the Bank.
The easement has been strategically located to connect adjacent natural habitats and extend
wildlife corridors throughout the Bank and surrounding areas. Marking and protecting of the
easement boundary will utilize various methods depending upon the existing land use.
Easement corners will utilize rebar with aluminum survey caps and all areas associated with
livestock will be fenced with a minimum of four strands of barbed wire or woven wire including
at least one strand of barbed wire. Conservation easement signs will be posted at all corners,
gates, access points, and at 200-foot intervals.

Site Ecological Uplift
The restoration of wetlands on the Bank Site will help to reduce fecal coliform, sediment, and
nutrient inputs both at and downstream of the Bank. The MWMS addresses dysfunctional
wetlands located in the flatwood region of a small subwatershed of Mott Swamp. By restoring
this wetland area, the Site will help to prevent pollutants from the surrounding landscape from
reaching the receiving waters of the Neuse River. By protecting the property in perpetuity,
restoration efforts can be utilized to their full extent. The MWMS will provide ecological uplift
by restoring hydrology and planting appropriate vegetation. The proposed restoration area will
be planted at a density suitable to meet requirements for wetland mitigation. The removal of
pasture animals from the restored non-riparian wetland will ultimately reduce the amount of
sediment, nutrients, and fecal coliform that are entering Mott Swamp and the Neuse River. The
Site will address multiple goals set forth in the Neuse River RBRP. Table 6 summarizes the
proposed ecological uplift provided by the Site.

Success Criteria
The success of the planted vegetation and integrity of the easement boundary will be monitored
on a yearly basis for a minimum of seven years to determine overall Site success and the
expected ecological uplift described in the Site Development Section. The success criteria for
the Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site will follow current accepted and approved success criteria
presented in the USACE agency guidance. Specific success criteria components are presented
below. Monitoring reports will be prepared annually and submitted to the NCIRT.
As-Built Survey
An as-built survey will be conducted following construction to document wetland restoration
elevations and demonstrate the location of the new drainage ditch along the eastern boundary.
Visual Monitoring
Visual monitoring of all mitigation areas will be conducted a minimum of twice per monitoring
year by qualified individuals. The visual assessments will include vegetation density, vigor,
eca4kterra. Eco Terra NUO2 Umbrella Mitigation Bank - Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site I 17

Eco Terra Partners, LLC I Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site
invasive species, and easement encroachments. Visual assessments of ditch plug stability will
occur. Digital images will be recorded at fixed representative locations during each monitoring
event; any noted problem areas or areas of concern will also be photographed and mapped.
Results of visual monitoring will be presented in a plan view exhibit with a brief description of
problem areas and digital images. Photographs will be used to subjectively evaluate success of
riparian vegetation and effectiveness of drain tile plugs. A series of photos over time should
indicate successional maturation of wetland vegetation.
Hydrology
Hydrology monitoring will occur for seven years using continuous groundwater gauges to
ensure the site meets the success criteria hydroperiod. The Site soils within the credit area are
mapped as Woodington and Torhunta. Field verification by a Licensed Soil Scientist determined
the majority of the Site soils are Torhunta (Appendix A). The Torhunta soil has a 12-16%
hydroperiod in Table 1 in the Wilmington District Stream and Wet/and Compensatory Mitigation
Update(2016). Groundwater gauges will be installed at a density sufficient to represent the
restoration area soils, vegetation communities, and topographic variations. Gauges will be
placed to represent the middle and edge of the restoration area. Additional gauges may be
added during monitoring as needed. During coordination with the Interagency Review Team
(IRT) Eco Terra may request for a shorter hydroperiod of 10% for Woodington soil, during the
first two years as allowed for sites with extensive manipulation in the Wilmington District Stream
and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update(2016).
Vegetative Success Criteria
Specific and measurable success criteria for plant density within the proposed wetland
restoration areas will follow updated 2016 NCIRT Guidance. Vegetation monitoring plots will be
a minimum 0.02 acres (100 m2) in size and will cover a minimum of two percent of the planted
area. The following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting date
(or volunteer), and grid location. Monitoring will occur in Years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. The interim
measures of vegetative success for the site will be the survival of at least 320 three-year old
trees per acre at the end of Monitoring Year 3, and 260 trees per acre at the end of Monitoring
Year 5. The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 210 trees per acre at the end
of Monitoring Year 7 of the monitoring period. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored
and controlled so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the
Site. If necessary, Eco Terra will develop a species-specific control plan.
Remedial Actions
The Mitigation Plan will include a detailed adaptive management plan that will address how
potential problems are resolved. In the event that the Site, or a specific component of the Site
fails to achieve the defined success criteria, Eco Terra will develop necessary adaptive
management plans and/or implement appropriate remedial actions for the site in coordination
with NCIRT and the review agencies. Remedial action required will be designed to achieve the
success criteria specified previously, and will include identification of the causes of failure,
remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring criteria that will take into account
physical and climatic conditions.

Eco Terra Partners, LLC I Memorial Wetland Mitigation Site
Bank Establishment and Operation
Eco Terra Partners, LLC will be the sole Bank Sponsor. The Sponsor will provide financial
assurances in the form of a performance bond, letter of credit, or casualty insurance to the
NCIRT. The financial assurance will be sufficient to assure completion of mitigation work,
required reporting/ monitoring, and any remedial activities. Financial assurances will be payable
at the direction of the USACE. They will be structured to provide funds to the USACE in the
event of default by the Sponsor. A financial assurance must be in the form that ensures the
USACE receives notification at least 120 days in advance of any termination or revocation. Upon
execution, the Bank Site schedule, as outlined in Table 8, will be implemented.
Proposed Credit Release Schedule
All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported by the As-built survey
of the Site. The pre-construction credit release will be based on the total amount in the Final
Mitigation Plan. The second credit release will be based on the As-built survey and will adjust
the total released credits based on the actual restored wetlands. The District Engineer (DE), in
consultation with the NCIRT, will determine if performance standards have been satisfied
sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedule below. In cases where some
performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the
specifics of the case. At the direction of the DE, in consultation with the IRT, extended
monitoring may be required, depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the
specified performance standard. The release of Bank credits will be subject to the criteria
described in Table 8.

activities, for review and approval by the NCIRT. Upon approval of the Bank by the NCIRT, the
Bank Site will be transferred to a long-term land steward (to be determined in the Mitigation
Plan). The long-term steward will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Bank Site to
ensure the terms of the conservation easement are being upheld. Endowment funds required to
maintain the conservation easement will be negotiated with the responsible party.
Assurance of Water Rights
Sufficient water rights exist to support the long-term sustainability of the site, as there are no
severed rights on the properties.
