The project includes Moccasin Creek and one unnamed tributary (UT1). Moccasin Creek flows into Holts Pond and eventually into the Neuse River approximately 12 miles downstream of the Parcel. The Parcel location is depicted in Figure 1. The purpose of the Parcel is to provide riparian buffer mitigation credits to compensate for buffer impacts according to the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015) and development requiring nutrient offset payments according to 15A NCAC 02B .0703 within the Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020201 excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. The Bank service area is depicted in Figure 2. Prior to construction, the Parcel was an agricultural field used for row crop production. The project features had little to no riparian buffer, except for one stand of mature trees along the downstream left portion of Moccasin Creek. The Parcel was restored to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by creating a functional riparian corridor. Approximately 16.27 acres have been protected with a permanent conservation easement along Moccasin Creek and UT1. A conservation easement was recorded on the Parcel in October 2020. 1.2 Bank Sponsor The Moccasin Creek Mitigation Parcel is a part of the Bank. The Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) for the Bank was signed in September 2020.

The Parcel involves riparian restoration on Moccasin Creek and UT1 in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0295). The Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201160010 and North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Subbasin 03-04-12 and was taw Moccasin Creek Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 1 Report Page 2 restored for riparian buffer mitigation credit and nutrient offset credit in the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 (excluding Falls Lake) (Figure 2). From Raleigh take 1-40 E. Continue for 11.5 miles, then take exit 333 to merge onto US 70 to Buffalo Road. Follow US 70 S for 15.8 miles then take a right onto W. Noble Steet and continue on this route for 1.4 miles. Turn left onto S. Pollack Street, after 1.0 mile turn right onto W. Anderson Street. The Parcel is located 2.4 miles down the road on the left (35° 31' 1.488" N, 78° 14' 52.6" W). 1.5 Project Design Approximately 16.27 acres are protected in a conservation easement. The Parcel will generate 7.02 acres of Neuse riparian buffer credits. Additionally, the Parcel will generate 6.86 acres of nutrient offset credits, which creates 15,591.88 pounds of nitrogen credits. Credit generation is shown in Figure 3. The revegetation plan for the Parcel included planting of bare root trees, controlling invasive species growth, and the application of a native pollinator friendly seed mix (Appendix E). Bare root trees selected for the Parcel were native bottomland hardwood species typical for Coastal Plain communities as defined by Schafale (2012). Adjacent forested areas were also used as a reference for the Parcel. Tree species selected for planting on the Parcel as well as size specifications, planting density, and plant composition are detailed in Table 2. Table 2.

"Character Trees" are defined as planted or volunteer species identified from a survey of local vegetation on less degraded sections of the specified stream and from reference literature that details native species. A list of Character Tree species (other than the planted species) is included in Table 3. Table 3.

Vegetative success criteria is based upon guidelines set forth in the Consolidated Buffer taw Moccasin Creek Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 1 Report Page 3 Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015), and is defined as a success rate equivalent to 260 live stems per acre at the end of the 5-year monitoring period. If vegetative success criteria are not achieved based on acreage density calculations from combined monitoring plots over the entire restoration area, or if an inspection of a buffer restoration site indicates that portions of the Parcel do not have sufficient stem densities or are otherwise deficient, supplemental planting shall be performed with tree species approved by NCDWR. Supplemental planting shall be performed as needed until vegetative success criteria are met. No quantitative measurements of herb assemblages will be required to meet the vegetative success criteria. 2.2 Description of Species and Monitoring Protocol The quantity of monitoring plots was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling (CVS) Protocol (Level II) such that at least 2 percent of the Site is encompassed in monitoring plots. A total of 12 plots (10 meters by 10 meters) were established within the credit generation area. PVC pipe was used to mark the four corners of the plots. Monitoring plot locations are shown in Figure 4. GPS points were taken at each of the corners. A reference photo was taken from the southwest corner of each plot (Appendix D). All planted stems within the plots were marked with flagging tape and recorded. Total numbers of tree species planted within the monitoring plots as well as planting density and plant composition are detailed in Table 4. Detailed results of the Monitoring Year 1 stem count are summarized in Appendix C. Table 4.

A reference photo was taken from the southwest corner of each plot, which can be found in Appendix D along with the stem count raw data. Total numbers of tree species identified within the monitoring plots as well as density and composition are summarized in Table 5. Vegetation result tables with planted stem density, and stem count by plot and species are summarized in Appendix C. The 2021 vegetation plot monitoring resulted in stem density ranging from 526 to 809 stems per acre, with an average of 610 stems per acre. The average stem density of 610 planted stems per acre far exceeds the final requirement of 260 stems per acre. taw Moccasin Creek Mitigation Site Page 4 Monitoring Year 1 Report Table 5.

Parcel maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel 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. 2.5 Conclusions Overall vegetation is thriving across the site. Each of the 12 vegetation plots exceed the vegetation success criteria of 260 stems per acre. The Parcel has an average stem density of 610 planted stems per acre, with plots ranging from 526 to 809 stems per acre. Herbaceous vegetation is establishing across the Parcel along with several pollinator species. No problems were identified, such as invasive species or excessive tree mortality, during Monitoring Year 1. Therefore, no corrective actions are required at this time. 3.0 References Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration.
