1.0 Introduction
LI 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
Phase II Conservation Easement compared to the approved Bank Site as described within the
BPDP. Future construction within the Bank Site will be consistent with the previously
approved BPDP.
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 Credits
for nitrogen. 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
