1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Location and Description
Located off of Arrington Bridge Road, at its intersection with John Street in Goldsboro,
North Carolina (Figure 1) is the Neuse buffer and nutrient offset restoration area previously
referred to as the Wayne County Development Alliance Bank Parcel and currently known as
the Arrington Bridge Bank Parcel (hereafter referred to as the Bank Site). The Bank Site will
be developed in two (2) phases: Phase I and Phase II. According to the Wayne County
Development Alliance Bank Parcel Development Package (EcoEngineering, April 2012),
Phase II consists of Parcel Numbers 2598632250 and 2598543857. Since approval of the
Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP), Parcel Number 2598632250 has been
subdivided into two parcels (Parcel Numbers 2598538731 and 2598622980). Parcel Number
2598538731 is located immediately adjacent to the east of John Street while Parcel Number
2598622980 is located immediately adjacent to the east of Parcel Number 2598538731.
Phase II construction of the Bank Site easement consists of + 13.973 acres on Parcel Number
2598538731 (Figure 2). Figure 2A (Appendix A) is provided to illustrate the constructed
approved BPDP.
previously
The purpose of this Bank Site is to improve water quality within the Neuse River watershed
by providing off -site mitigation for development (both existing and proposed) requiring
stream buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits. As shown on the recorded easement plat
(Figure 2), the Conservation Easement (CE) for Phase II of the Bank Site is 13.973 acres
(608,676 sf). Within the 13.973 acre CE, 4.460 acres (194,267 sf) is dedicated to Neuse
Riparian Buffer Credits and 7.788 acres (339,245 sf) is dedicated to Nutrient Offset (nitrogen
and phosphorus) Credits. A copy of the recorded permanent conservation easement language
indicating the areas included in the Bank Site is included within Appendix G.
The Bank Site Service Area is contained within 8 -digit USGS HUC 03020201. Stormwater
runoff from the Bank Site drains into an unnamed tributary of the Neuse River (Stream Index
#27- (56)). According to the N.C. Division of Water Quality Basinwide Information
Management System (BIMS), the Neuse River is classified as Class C and NSW (Nutrient
Sensitive Waters) in this location. The "C" classification is for "waters protected for uses
such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including
propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture" while the
NSW designation is for "Nutrient Sensitive Waters ".
This Bank Site shall be established under the terms and conditions of the EBX Neuse
Riparian Buffer Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank) made and entered into by EBX Neuse I,
LLC (EBX), acting as the Bank Sponsor, and the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources - Division of Water Quality (DWQ), and was entered into by the
parties on November 10, 2008
1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
The goals of this nutrient offset mitigation project are to:
00 2
iA Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC ®EcoEngineering
e��rne��e�e�►c�s�.

To improve the overall water quality and aquatic habitat in and around the unnamed
tributary of the Neuse River by reducing nutrient and sediment loads 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 to the Neuse River and
associated riparian and upland buffers
These goals will be met through the following objectives:
- By establishing a native plant community to match the endemic plant species at the
Bank Site.
- 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
Site.
- By donation of the conservation easement and all of its interests, in perpetuity, to an
accredited or approved land trust or stewardship program.
2.0 Proiect Area — Pre - Construction Condition Summary
bF
Prior to construction, the Bank Site was within agricultural activities and contained corn
fields which were harvested. Land adjacent to the Bank Site is comprised of active
agricultural fields which have historically cultivated corn and soybean.
There are areas along the unnamed tributaries and along Arrington Bridge Road that contain
relic forest/shrub communities. These fringe forest/shrub areas have been impacted by
historical agricultural activities. Species such as sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red
maple (Acer rubrum), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), giant cane (Arundinaria
gigantea), willow oak (Quercus phellos), water oak (Quercus nigra) were observed. Small
significant population of non - native, invasive species including privet (Ligustrum sinense)
and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) were also observed, which are indicative of a disturbed
forest community. Since these fringe forest/shrub areas have been disturbed, a reference
forested community was examined to gain insight as to the type of forested community
which would have been on the Bank Site if agricultural activities had not occurred. One such
reference forested community located approximately 0.7 miles west of the Bank Parcel was
examined. The reference forested community is generally characterized as a Basic Mesic
Forest (Coastal Plain Subtype),, according to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NHP) classification system (Schafale and' Weakley, 1990). The canopy and understory is
dominated by southern red oak (Quercus pagodifolia), willow • oak, water oak, white oak
(Quercus alba), sweetgum, red maple, tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red cedar
(Juniperus virginiana), beech (Fagus grandifolia), American holly (Ilex opaca), dogwood
(Corpus florida), American elm (Ulmus Americana), paw -paw (Asimina triloba), swamp bay
(Persea palustris), giant cane, and highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum).
Photographs showing existing conditions prior to construction are located in Appendix B.
3.0 As Built Site Conditions
3.1 Restoration Plan
Construction of Phase II of the Bank Site occurred in March 2013. Construction activities
included planting the conservation area followed by staking of photo stations and vegetation
fflo 3
Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC [JEcoEngineedng
M

plots occurred. In addition, base line vegetation sampling occurred. All photographs and
data are attached in the appendices.
Grassed fields 'within the conservation easement were ripped and scarified prior to vegetation
planting activities. The established microtopography on level surfaces will promote diffuse
flow and surface water storage. In addition, subsurface hardpans were eliminated to promote
vegetation growth/survival and to increase groundwater recharge rates. Grasses were treated
with herbicide to reduce competition with planted species. Where necessary, invasive species
were treated with herbicide to ensure they do not become dominant within the Bank Site, or
hinder the establishment, growth and survival of planted vegetation.
The Bank Site was planted with bare root seedlings consisting of species previously observed
on the Bank Site and selected species known to inhabit Basic Mesic Forests (Coastal Plain
Subtype) community type as described in Classification of the Natural Communities of North
Carolina (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). Table 1 (Appendix C) provides a listing of planted
species and a summary of total stems planted within Phase II of the Bank Site. A total of
8,200 individual species, or 668 stems per acre, were planted within the Bank Site, which is
within the desired range of 436 to 681 stems per acre according to the Wayne County
Development Allian ce Bank Parcel Development Package (EcoEngineering, April 2012).
The .liA_wDy%ded_in _Wayne County eveLonment Alliance B na k Parcej I�Ey moment
Package was used as a guide in species selection. Due to stock unavailability from local
nurseries, changes were made on -site. The planted species were a mixture of hardwood tree
species consistent with those found within a Basic Mesic Forest in the Coastal Plain. Plant
composition consisted of six (6) tree species. No shrub species were selected as part of plant
composition. The following are substitutions: bald Cyprus (Taxodium distichium, Tree). The
Bank Sponsor will conduct Monitoring Year 1 field exercises during the fall of 2013, as
further described in Section 3.2 and 3.3. At the conclusion of Monitoring Year 1, a
determination will be made regarding the need for supplemental plantings, and at which time,
input from DWQ will be sought prior to developing a supplemental planting plan. If supplemental
plantings are required, it will take place between the months of February and April, 2014,
and at which time, a minimum of three (3) additional tree species listed in the Wayne County
Development Alliance Bank Parcel Development Package (EcoEngineering, April 2012) will
..
Temporary and permanent native herbaceous seed was applied simultaneously to the nutrient
offset restoration areas within the Bank Site area. Temporary seed will provide cover until
the permanent seed applied becomes established. Temporary cover consisted of millet
(Echinochloa crusgalli), annual rye grain (Secale cereale), and crimson clover (Trifolium
incarnatum). Permanent ground cover consisted of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum),
deertongue (Panicum clandestinman), black -eyed susan (Rudbeckia hirta), and riverbank
wildrye (Elymus riparius).
3.2 Vegetation Monitoring Plots
EcoEngineering permanently installed four (4) vegetation plots for future monitoring
purposes. The locations of the plots are depicted on the As -Built Exhibit (Figure 3). The
plots were installed randomly throughout the Bank Site and each are 100 square meters in
size (10 meter by 10 meter square plots). Baseline vegetation monitoring was conducted in
general accordance to CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation (CVS -EEP, v4.2). Table
2 (Appendix C) provides a success summary for each vegetation monitoring plot.

Environmental Banc & Exchan e, LLC [AEcoEngineedng
g e��rdm�etcaa�c�;�.

Based on the baseline vegetation monitoring, all four (4) vegetation monitoring plots were
within the desired range of 436 to 681 stems per acre (Table 2, Appendix C). Table 3
(Appendix C) provides a more detailed summary of stem counts and the type of planted
species within each vegetation monitoring plot. The number of stems planted per acre for
each monitoring plot ranges from 486 stems to 728 stems.
Vegetation monitoring plots were photographed and are located in Appendix D. Vegetation
Monitoring Plot Data Sheets are provided in Appendix E. Each Vegetation Monitoring Plot
Data Sheet provides the measurements, location, and vigor of each planted species within a
respective vegetation monitoring plot.
3.3 Photo Stations
Photo documentation is essential to monitoring the success the Bank Site. Photos provide a
visual assessment of the vegetation conditions. EcoEngineering permanently installed three
(3) photo stations for future monitoring purposes. The location of the photo stations and their
direction are depicted on Figure 3 (Appendix A). Photographs for the photo stations are
located in Appendix F.
4.0 Monitoring, Maintenance Plan. and Reporting
The Bank Site will be monitored for 5 consecutive years or until the required success criteria
has been met as determined by DWQ. Monitoring Year 1 field exercises will begin during
fall of 2013. Supplemental planting and additional site modifications will be implemented, if
necessary, after a determination has been made regarding the success of the project following
each monitoring year. Monitoring activities will follow the terms and conditions of the EBX
Neuse Riparian Buffer Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank) made and entered into by EBX
Neuse I, LLC (EBX), acting as the Bank Sponsor, and the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources - Division of Water Quality (DWQ).
The four (4) vegetative monitoring plots will be monitored in general accordance with the
CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation. A monitoring report will be submitted
annually to DWQ no later than December 31 of each monitoring year describing the
conditions of the Bank Site and relating those conditions to the success criteria.
The target density for the riparian buffer is a minimum of 320 planted trees per acre at the
end of the five (5) year monitoring period. Vegetation monitoring will occur between August
and October. A determination will be made regarding the success of the project following the
collection and evaluation of ecological and physical monitoring data, photographs, and site
observations.
5.0 Neuse Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation
The Bank Site will provide Neuse Riparian Buffer Mitigation Credits for development
impacts within the Neuse River Basin. Additionally, it will provide Nutrient Offset
Mitigation Credits for development impacts within the Neuse River Basin USGS HUC
03020201 (Figure 3). The 13.973 acres conservation easement (Figure 2), will be dedicated
to Neuse Riparian Buffer restoration and Nutrient Offset restoration. A Neuse Riparian
Buffer restoration area of 4.460 acres (194,267 sf) will be used to generate 4.460 acres
(194,267 sf) of Neuse Riparian Buffer credits. The remaining 7.788 acres (339,245 sf) of
riparian restoration area within the Site (i.e. areas outs; Ie of the Neuse Buffer) will provide
Nutrient Offset Credits for nitrogen (currently based on 2,273.02 lbs of nitrogen/ac of
