1. Mitigation Project Summary
1.1. Introduction
The Coor Island Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Project" or "Site") is designed in accordance
with State Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule — CMB Rule) to Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Credits (RBC) for impacts within the Neuse River Basin USGS 8-digit HUC 03020201,
excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. The proposed permanent conservation easement will encompass
11.55 acres over two parcels and will provide 381,311.590 RBCs (Available RBC). The Project will provide
the State with the Available RBC while permanently protecting the restored riparian area and preserving
the forested floodplain, a mapped FEMA Floodway (Map 3720256800K, Panel 2568, effective June 20,
2018).
Located in Wayne County, North Carolina, the Project encompasses 11.55 acres, of which 1.90 acres are
forested, and the remainder is utilized for row crop production. The Project will restore riparian buffer
areas along an unnamed tributary to Half Mile Creek and preserve the established riparian buffer where
it exists. Detailed project mapping is provided in Appendix A, along with site -specific data in Appendix B.
Restoration Systems (RS) has entered a fee -simple purchase agreement with the current landowners (E &
S Wayne Farms LLC) effective July 1, 2021, for the fee -simple purchase of the Parcels. Once purchased, IRS
will assign a conservation easement to the State Property Office.
A DWR representative conducted an on -site stream determination on January 21, 2021. A Stream
Determination letter was provided on March 4, 2021. Further, A DWR representative conducted a Site
Viability visit on March 24, 2021, and provided an approval letter on April 16, 2021. Both the Stream
Determination and Site Viability letters are attached in Appendix C.
1.2. Project Goals
The primary goals of the proposed nutrient offset project are to provide ecological and water quality
enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by restoring the riparian area to create a functional riparian
corridor. The Site is not located within a watershed planning unit but addresses watershed goals outlined
by the Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) report (NCEEP 2010 amended 2018). Table 1
summarizes the RBRP goals and provides site -specific objectives to address the RBRP goals. Specific
enhancements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined in Table 1.
Table 1. Ecoloeical and Water Qualitv Goals

Parcel from harmful uses
Parcel's assets in perpetuity.
Ecological and water quality goals will be achieved by restoring 8.747 acres of forested riparian buffer and
preserving 1.908 acres of existing riparian forest.
Proposed activities include:
• The cessation of agricultural production on the Site
• The cessation of vegetation maintenance along Site tributaries
• Planting a diverse woody riparian buffer comprised of native hardwoods and a permanent
herbaceous seed mix that supports native diversity, including pollinators and wildlife.
• Protect Site tributaries, riparian buffers, adjacent floodplains, and the FEMA flood zone with a
perpetual conservation easement
Mitigation activities outlined in this proposal are designed to provide the Division with 381,331.590 RBC.
Mitigation totals are calculated per the requirements in RFP #16-20200402 and State Rule 15A NCAC 02B
.0295 (Consolidated Mitigation Buffer Rule). A completed DWR credit determination table is provided in
Appendix A. Site tributaries drain to Half Mile Creek in a FEMA regulated floodplain. RBC generated from
Site activities is summarized below; a complete credit determination table is provided in Appendix A.

1.3. Existing and Historic Parcel Conditions
The site is formed by two parcels (PIN 2569366530, 2569264339) totaling 30.58 acres, dominated by row
crop production. Of the 11.55 acres that will be placed under conservation easement, 8.747 are currently
in crop production and will be replanted. The remaining area includes existing bottomland hardwood
forest and water features. The Project will preserve and restore riparian buffer areas along an unnamed
tributary to Half Mile Creek. The downstream site boundary is an existing mitigation site, Half Mile Branch
Bank Site. Detailed project mapping is provided in Appendix A, along with site -specific data in Appendix
B.
Intensive agriculture practices exist across all proposed restoration areas. Agricultural fields within and
adjacent to the Site are subject to routine fertilizer and herbicide applications. Site streams and ditches
exhibit bank erosion due to long-term plowing and removal of native vegetation throughout the proposed

DWR performed an on -site visit to determine applicability to the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B
.0295) and viability to provide nutrient offset credits on January 21, 2021, and March 24, 2021. A copy of
both the "On -Site Origin Determination for Applicabilityto the Neuse River Buffer Rules" and "Site Viability
for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset" are provided in Appendix C. A Summary of their determinations,
specific to Parcel Features, is summarized in Table 6 and correlated with stream segments as labeled in
Appendix A figures. There have been no changes to land use in the project area since DWR's site visit.

1.4. Watershed Characteristics
The Site is located within USGS HUC 03020201 and DWR Subbasin 03-04-12. Features drain to Half Mile
Branch, which is classified as WS-IV and NSW by DWR. WS indicates that the watershed is for drinking
supply in addition to providing recreation and protected areas. The NSW designation applies to surface
water that is experiencing excessive growths of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. The Parcel
topography, as indicated on the Northwest Goldsboro, NC USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle,
shows gently sloped areas throughout the Parcel (Figure 2, Appendix A). Land uses draining to the project
reaches are primarily agriculture with some existing forest.
1.5. Soils
The Parcel is mapped by the Wayne County Soil Survey. Project soils are described below in Table 7. An
image of the paper copy of the 1972 Soil Survey of Wayne County is provided in Figure 8. A custom soil
report is provided in the appendix.

1.6. Geology
The Parcel is located in the Southeastern Floodplains and Low Terraces ecoregion on the border of the
Rolling Coastal Plain ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains of North Carolina; USGS HUC 03020201
NCDWQ Subbasin Number 03- 04 -12) of the Neuse River Basin. Regional physiography is characterized
by broad interstream divides with gentle to steep side slopes dissected by numerous small, low to
moderate gradient sandy bottomed streams and major river floodplains, associated terraces, and low
gradient streams with sandy and silty substrates (Griffith et al. 2002a). On -site elevations range from a
high of 83 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) on slopes to a low of approximately 73 feet
NGVD at the lowest point of the Parcel.
1.7. Directions to Site
The Site is located in southern Wayne County, approximately three miles west of Goldsboro (Figure 1,
Appendix A). Directions to the Site from Raleigh, North Carolina, are below.
- Head east on US-70 for 30 miles
- Turn Right onto Creechs Mill Rd; travel 3.4 miles
- Turn Left onto Brogden Rd; travel 8 miles
- Brogden Road becomes Old Smithfield Road
- Site entrance is located on the right side of the road just after Antioch Presbyterian Church
o Site Latitude, Longitude 35.3864,-78.1168

2. Regulatory Considerations
The presence of conditions or characteristics that could hinder restoration activities at the Site were
evaluated. The evaluation focused primarily on the existence of hazardous materials, utilities, restrictive
easements, rare/threatened/endangered species or critical habitats, the potential for hydrologic trespass,
and existing utility easements. Existing information regarding Parcel constraints was acquired and
reviewed, including an Environmental Records Report developed by Environmental Data Resources Inc.,
which located no evidence of environmental risk associated with the Parcel (Appendix D). In addition, any
Parcel conditions that could restrict the restoration and implementation were documented during the
field investigation. As a result of our review and field surveys, no known Parcel constraints exist that may
hinder proposed restoration activities. Potential constraints reviewed include the following;
Mitigation Plan (DMS Project No. 100183) page 5
Coor Island Mitigation Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Wayne County, North Carolina August 2021

2.1. Threatened and Endangered Species
The NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database
were searched for federally listed threatened and endangered plant and animal species in Wayne County,
NC (Appendix D). Five species, the Neuse River Waterdog, Carolina Madtom, Red -cockaded woodpecker,
Atlantic Pigtoe, Tar River Spinymussel, are listed or proposed for listing as federally endangered or
threatened species. Restoration Systems performed pedestrian surveys of the Parcel in February 2020
and determined no suitable habitat for the species existed within restoration areas. The USFWS Self -
Certification Letter Appendix D.
2.2. Cultural Resources and Significant Natural Heritage Areas
There are no existing structures in the project area or on the larger tract of land. The State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) was contacted with a request for review and comment. SHPO provided a
response letter on March 31, 2021, stating, "We [SHPO] have conducted a review of the project and are
aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project. Therefore, we have no comment
on the project as proposed." All communication with SHPO is included in Appendix D.
2.3. FEMA Floodplain Compliance
FEMA coordination/review is conducted at the county level. Regulated activities within mapped FEMA
areas are discussed under Wayne County Ordinance Chapter 38 — Flood Prevention
(https://library.municode.com/nc/wayne_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeld=COOR_CH38FLDA
PR). Specifically, Section 38-62, which discusses provisions required within FEMA mapped zones where
base flood elevation data has been provided. Under this Section, there is no restriction of fill material in
Zone X. Coordination with the Wayne County FEMA Administrator was completed in August of 2021. The
attached NC DMS Floodplain Checklist is provided in Appendix C.
2.4. Waters of The United States (404 Considerations)
Jurisdictional Waters of the US within the Site were not delineated as the project will not involve any land -
disturbing activities or impacts to Water of the US.
2.5. Land Quality
Wayne County does not administer its own Erosion and Sediment Control program. Thus, the Site's
proposed land -disturbing activities are subject to the State's authority under the Sedimentation Pollution
Control Act of 1973 (1973 Act) and 15A NCAC 04. Under the 1973 Act, an erosion and sediment control
plan is required if more than one acre of land on a tract is disturbed (§ 113A-57. Mandatory standards for
land -disturbing activity). Site restoration activities will not include soil disturbance thus, an Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan is not required.
2.6. Parcel Location, Parcel Constraints, and Access
The Parcel is in rural Wayne County, near the town of Goldsboro (Figure 1). The Parcel is accessible for
construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship from Old Smithfield Road. DOT right of ways,
powerlines, and associated easements will be excluded from the conservation easement (Appendix F).
2.7. Other Environmental Conditions
An Environmental Data Resources, Inc (EDR) Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Parcel
on February 19, 2021. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any Federal,
State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. The executive summary of the EDR report is
included in Appendix D.

3. Restoration Plan
The Project will restore agriculturally impacted land in the Parcel footprint to a forested riparian corridor,
protected in perpetuity, improving the ecological function of the area. The design will ensure that no
adverse impacts to wetlands or existing riparian buffers occur. Figure 5, Appendix A illustrates the
conceptual design for the Parcel.
Table 8. Restoration Plan Activities
Restoration Plan
Activity
Actions (Figure 5, Appendix A)
1.) Establishment of a native herbaceous community via site -specific seed mix (Table 10)
Riparian
Restoration
2.) Establishment of 11.3 acres of native hardwood forest via the planting of bare -root
saplings from the top of the bank to the conservation easement boundary (Table 11)
3.1. Materials and Methods
Restoration of Riparian Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest allows for the development and
expansion of characteristic species across the landscape. Ecotonal changes between community types
contribute to habitat diversity and provide secondary benefits, such as enhanced feeding and nesting
opportunities for mammals, birds, amphibians, and other wildlife.
Revegetating floodplains will provide overall system stability, shade, and wildlife habitat. In addition,
viable riparian communities will improvethe system's biogeochemical function byfiltering pollutants from
overland and shallow subsurface flows and providing organic materials to adjacent stream channels.
A diverse and native herbaceous seed mix will be planted across the Site. This mix will provide soil stability,
ecological diversity, and favorable growing conditions for the planted woody species. Seeding will consist
of a seasonally appropriate temporary nurse crop (eg. millet or cereal rye), a mix of wildflowers known to
benefit wildlife, including pollinators (eg. Rudbeckia spp., Echinacea spp., Coreopsis spp., Eupatorium
coelestinum, Chamaecrista fasciculata), and a blend of low growing grasses, which will provide long term
soil stability and wildlife benefit without unduly competing with the desired forbs or woody plantings (eg.
Agrostis spp.).

Variations in vegetative planting will occur based on the topography and hydrologic condition of soils.
Vegetative species composition will be based on site -specific features and community descriptions from
the Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 2012). Community
associations to be utilized include Riparian and Wetland Buffer.
Bare -root seedlings within the Riparian Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest will be planted at a
density between 680 and 720 stems per acre on 8-foot centers. Planting will be performed between
November 15 and March 15 to allow plants to stabilize during the dormant period and set roots during
the spring season. Potential species planted within the Site are detailed in Table 10 depicts the total
number of stems and species distribution within each vegetation association (Figure 6, Appendix A).

3.3. Other Activities
Beaver, Privet, and other potential nuisance species will be monitored throughout the 5-year monitoring
period. Appropriate actions to alleviate any negative impacts regarding vernation development and/or
water management will occur on an as -needed basis.
4. Monitoring Plan
Restoration monitoring procedures for vegetation at each Phase will monitor plant survival and species
diversity. Quantitative sampling will include eight (8) permanent 10 x 10-meter vegetation plots as
outlined in the CVS Level 1-2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008) and will occur
no earlier than the first calendar day of Fall each year (Figure 8, Appendix A). A reference photo will be
taken from the origin point of each plot. All planted stems in the plots will be marked with flagging tape
and recorded. Data collected will include species, height, planting type (planted stem and/or volunteer),
and vigor. Monitoring will be conducted by Axiom Environment, Inc based on the schedule in Table 11. A
summary of monitoring is outlined in Table 12. Annual monitoring reports will be submitted to the NCDMS
by Restoration Systems no later than December 1 of each monitoring year data.

5. Project Success Criteria
Success criteria will be based on the survival of planted species at a density of 260 stems per acre after
five years of monitoring. The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the end of the first
growing season, at least five months after planting has been completed.
Table 13. Success Criteria
Vegetation
• Within planted portions of the Site, in accordance with Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295:
a) a minimum of 260 stems per acre must be present at year 5, and
b) a minimum of four native hardwood and native shrub species in each vegetation monitoring plot,
where no one species is greater than 50 % of stems.
• Planted and volunteer stems are counted, provided they are included in the approved planting list for the
Site; natural recruits not on the planting list may be considered by the DWR on a case -by -case basis.
Mitigation Plan (DMS Project No. 100183) page 9
Coor Island Mitigation Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Wayne County, North Carolina August 2021

5.1. Vegetation Contingency / Adaptive Management Plan
An adaptive management plan will be developed and implemented with the approval of DMS and DWR
in the event the Site or a specific component of the Site fails to achieve success criteria as outlined above.
Other vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. If exotic
invasive plant species require treatment, such species will be controlled by mechanical (physical removal
with the use of a chainsaw) and/or herbicide application in accordance with North Carolina Department
of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations.
5.2. Compatibility with Project Goals
The following table outlines the compatibility of Site performance criteria described above to Site goals
and objectives that will be utilized to evaluate if Site goals and objectives are achieved.

6. Mitigation Potential
The Site will generate Neuse River Riparian Buffer Credits (RBC) on restored riparian areas measured from
the top of bank out perpendicularly a maximum 200-feet on subject Features (Feature 1). Per the
Consolidated Mitigation Buffer Rule, the Parcel will generate RMC via allowed activities under Section (o)
Alternative Buffer Mitigation Options. Specifically, RBC is to be generated from sub -section (o)(5),
included in its entirety below, and approved by DWR representatives (Appendix C - DWR Site Subjectivity
and Viability Letters).
Mitigation Plan (DMS Project No. 100183) page 10
Coor Island Mitigation Site Restoration Systems, LLC
Wayne County, North Carolina August 2021

(o)(5) — Preservation of Buffers on Subject Streams: Buffer preservation may be proposed on
streams that are subject to the applicable Rule .0233, .0243, .0250, .0259, .0267, or .0607 of this
Subchapter [15A NCAC 02B] in order to permanently protect the buffer from cutting, clearing,
filling, grading, and similar activities that would affect the functioning of the buffer beyond the
protection afforded by the existing buffer rules on sites that meet the definition of a preservation
site. The preservation site shall meet the requirements of Subparagraph (n)(1) [of this Rule (15A
NCAC 02B .0295)] and the requirements set forth in 15A NCAC 02R .0403(c)(7), (8), and (11). The
area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25
percent of the total area of buffer mitigation.
6.1. Determination of Credits
Within the 11.55-acre Site, 8.747 acres of agricultural fields historically used for row crops are proposed
for riparian buffer restoration. The primary goals associated with restoring riparian areas within the Site
will improve water quality, enhance flood attenuation, and restore wildlife habitat. These goals will be
achieved by restoring 8.747 acres of forested riparian buffer and preserving 1.90 acres of existing forest
and State waters.

7. Long -Term Management Plan
The Site will be transferred to the NCDEQ Stewardship Program. This party shall serve as the conservation
easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspections of the Site
to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Funding will be supplied by
the responsible party on a yearly basis until such time an endowment is established. The NCDEQ
Stewardship Program is developing an endowment system within the non -reverting, interest -bearing
Conservation Lands Conservation Fund Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be
governed by North Carolina General Statute GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund
may be used for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land
transaction costs, if applicable.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nres/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https:Hoffices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nres142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil

Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

Custom Soil Resource Report
identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Soil Map
The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of
soil map units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols
displayed on the map. Also presented are various metadata about data used to
produce the map, and a description of each soil map unit.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
11

Custom Soil Resource Report
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Coor Island Site
Off Neuse Island Lane, Goldsboro (near 35.386634,-78.116390)
Neuse 03020201
Wayne County
Dear Mr. Holz,
On December 11, 2020, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a
request from you on behalf of Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) for a site visit near the above -
referenced site in the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The site
visit was to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within a
proposed conservation easement boundary, which is more accurately depicted in the attached map
labeled "Figure 1-Existing Conditions" (Figure 1) prepared by RS. The proposed easement boundary
in Figure 1, includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of a full -delivery project for
the Division of Mitigation Services (RFP # 16-20200402) as well as a private mitigation bank project
by RS. On March 24, 2021, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with
RS were also present.
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 .0703.

2The area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 0295 (o) (5) and 15A NCAC 0295 (o) (4). Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule.
'NCDivision of Water Resources -Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer
Establishment
4Determinations made for this Site are determined based on the proposal provided in maps and figures submitted with the request.
s All features proposed for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset, must have a planted conservation easement established that includes the
tops of channel banks when being measured perpendicular and landward from the banks, even if no credit is viable within that riparian
area.
6The area of themitigation siteon ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (7).
Determinations provided in the table above were based on the proposed conservation easement
boundaries depicted in Figure 1 for the full -delivery mitigation site and the private mitigation bank
site. The two easement boundaries are contiguous, and thus, the approval of the private mitigation
bank site will be dependent on the approval and implementation of the full -delivery mitigation site.
The map representing the proposal for the site is attached to this letter and is initialed by Ms. Merritt
on April 13, 2021. Substantial changes to the proposed easement boundaries could affect the site's
potential to generate buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits.
This letter does not constitute an approval of this Site to generate buffer and nutrient offset credits.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to
DWR for written approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or
surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703, a proposal regarding a
proposed nutrient load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for
approval prior to any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters.
All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian
restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to
be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being
viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting
calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to
determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TARGET PROPERTY SEARCH RESULTS
The target property was not listed in any of the databases searched by EDR.
SURROUNDING SITES: SEARCH RESULTS
Surrounding sites were identified in the following databases.
Elevations have been determined from the USGS Digital Elevation Model and should be evaluated on
a relative (not an absolute) basis. Relative elevation information between sites of close proximity
should be field verified. Sites with an elevation equal to or higher than the target property have been
differentiated below from sites with an elevation lower than the target property.
Page numbers and map identification numbers refer to the EDR Radius Map report where detailed
data on individual sites can be reviewed.
Sites listed in bold italics are in multiple databases.
Unmappable (orphan) sites are not considered in the foregoing analysis.
COAL ASH: A review of the COAL ASH list, as provided by EDR, and dated 09/10/2020 has revealed that
there is 1 COAL ASH site within approximately 0.5 miles of the target property.

EDR's GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum is provided to assist the environmental professional in
forming an opinion about the impact of potential contaminant migration.
Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components:
1. Groundwater flow direction, and
2. Groundwater flow velocity.
Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics
of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the
geologic strata.
TC6373747.2s Page A-1

GEOCHECK° - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY
GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION
Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site -specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other
sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data
collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers).
TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to
assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or,
should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

Hydrogeologic information obtained by installation of wells on a specific site can often be an indicator
of groundwater flow direction in the immediate area. Such hydrogeologic information can be used to assist the
environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should
contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

GROUNDWATER FLOW VELOCITY INFORMATION
Groundwater flow velocity information for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site specific geologic and soil strata data. If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary
to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil
characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general, contaminant plumes
move more quickly through sandy -gravelly types of soils than silty -clayey types of soils.
GEOLOGIC INFORMATION IN GENERAL AREA OF TARGET PROPERTY
Geologic information can be used by the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the relative speed
at which contaminant migration may be occurring.

Hi Matthew,
The USFWS does not have a formal review process for MBTA, and we hardly ever receive
requests for review or comment. I am not sure why FHWA appears to require coordination
with us. In general, mitigation or other restoration projects are beneficial for birds, especially
in the long-term. I will coordinate with FHWA to see if we can get them to reword the
requirement for mitigation projects, so that formal reviews are not expected. In the
meantime, if we don't respond within 30 days to a request for review, you can consider that
as "no comment" and check the box indicating you have coordinated with us. I will let DMS
and FHWA know.
Thanks,
Kathy

Re: Coor Island Mitigation Site, Wayne County, NC
Restoration Systems, LLC (RS), of Raleigh, NC has been awarded a contract by DMS to provide Riparian
Buffer Mitigations credits at the Coor Island Mitigation Site in Wayne County, North Carolina.
One of the earliest tasks to be performed by RS is completion of an environmental screening and
preparation/submittal of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) document. This document is specifically required
by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to ensure compliance with various federal environmental
laws and regulations. DMS must demonstrate that its projects comply with federal mandates as a
precondition to FHWA reimbursement of compensatory mitigation costs borne by the North Carolina
Department of Transportation.
In order for the project to proceed, RS is obligated to coordinate with your office for recommendations
with project relative to the Migratory Bird Act (MTBA). This letter provides with certain details of the
project, including location, a general description of its physiography, hydrography and existing land uses,
as well as the intended modifications to the site proposed by RS. We request you review of the details
provided and make recommendations to protect migratory birds.

Restoration Means & Methods
Riparian Buffer Restoration efforts are designed to restore a fully functioning forests and herbaceous
vegetation buffer zone along an aquatic corridor, which will provide reduction in surface water runoff,
an increase in groundwater recharge, reduction in non -point source pollutants, and will create a variety
and abundance of wildlife habitat.
Riparian buffer restoration is expected to entail 1) planting of native hardwoods and 2) establishment of
native herbaceous vegetation. The riparian areas will be restored in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B
.0295. The planting plan for the entire riparian restoration area includes planting native bare -root
hardwood and shrub saplings across 8.6 acres at a density of 750 stems per acre and live stakes for
streambank stabilization where necessary. Community associations that may be utilized 1.) Brownwater
Bottomland Hardwoods (High Subtype) and 2.) Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain Subtype)
(Schafale 2012). Species composition will likely be diverse and, while based on these communities, will
also account for local observations and nursery availability.

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

05/05/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-02489 2
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/
towers/comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at [e-mail].

RE: Coor
Dear Allison Keith:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httos://www.fws.ciov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund
easement, or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler(ancdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.

Dear Matthew Harrell;
Fax [phone]
The following information is in response to your request soliciting comments regarding the
Proposed Coor Island Mitigation Site in Wayne County, NC.
Projects are subject to Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) requirements if they may
irreversibly convert farmland (directly or indirectly) to nonagricultural use and are completed
by a Federal agency or with assistance from a Federal agency.
For the purpose of FPPA, farmland includes prime farmland, unique farmland, and land of
statewide or local importance. Farmland subject to FPPA requirements does not have to be
currently used for cropland. It can be forest land, pastureland, cropland, or other land, but
not water or urban built-up land. Farmland means prime or unique farmlands as defined in
section 1540(c)(1) of the Act or farmland that is determined by the appropriate state or unit
of local government agency or agencies with concurrence of the Secretary to be farmland of
statewide of local importance.
"Farmland" does not include land already in or committed to urban development or water
storage. Farmland "already in" urban development or water storage includes all such land
with a density of 30 structures per 40-acre area. Farmland already in urban development
also includes lands identified as "urbanized area" (UA) on the Census Bureau Map, or as
urban area mapped with a "tint overprint" on the USGS topographical maps, or as "urban -
built -up" on the USDA Important Farmland Maps. See over for more information.
The area in question includes land classified as Prime Farmland. In accordance with the
Code of Federal Regulations 7CFR 658, Farmland Protection Policy Act, the CPA-106 was
initiated. NRCS Completed Parts II, IV, V of the form and returned for completion by the
requesting agency.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at [phone] office or (704) 754-
6734 cell.

STEPS IN THE PROCESSING THE FARMLAND AND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM
Step 1 - Federal agencies (or Federally funded projects) involved in proposed projects that may convert farmland, as defined in the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA)
to nonagricultural uses, will initially complete Parts I and III of the form. For Corridor type projects, the Federal agency shall use form NRCS-CPA-106 in place
of form AD-1006. The Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) process may also be accessed by visiting the FPPA website, httn://fppa.nres.usdaeov/less .
Step 2 - Originator (Federal Agency) will send one original copy of the form together with appropriate scaled maps indicating location(s)of project site(s), to the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) local Field Office or USDA Service Center and retain a copy for their files. (NRCS has offices in most counties in the
U.S. The USDA Office Information Locator may be found at http://offices.usda. gov/scripts/ndISAPLdIUoip public/USA_map, or the offices can usually be
found in the Phone Book under U.S. Government, Department of Agriculture. A list of field offices is available from the NRCS State Conservationist and State
Office in each State.)
Step 3 - NRCS will, within 10 working days after receipt of the completed form, make a determination as to whether the site(s) of the proposed project contains prime,
unique, statewide or local important farmland. (When a site visit or land evaluation system design is needed, NRCS will respond within 30 working days.
Step 4 - For sites where farmland covered by the FPPA will be converted by the proposed project, NRCS will complete Parts II, IV and V of the form.
Step 5 - NRCS will return the original copy of the form to the Federal agency involved in the project, and retain a file copy for NRCS records.
Step 6 - The Federal agency involved in the proposed project will complete Parts VI and VII of the form and return the form with the final selected site to the servicing
NRCS office.
Step 7 - The Federal agency providing financial or technical assistance to the proposed project will make a determination as to whether the proposed conversion is consistent
with the FPPA.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FARMLAND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM
(For Federal Agency)
Part I: When completing the "County and State" questions, list all the local governments that are responsible for local land
use controls where site(s) are to be evaluated.
Part III: When completing item B (Total Acres To Be Converted Indirectly), include the following
1. Acres not being directly converted but that would no longer be capable of being farmed after the conversion, because the
conversion would restrict access to them or other major change in the ability to use the land for agriculture.
2. Acres planned to receive services from an infrastructure project as indicated in the project justification (e.g. highways,
utilities planned build out capacity) that will cause a direct conversion.
Part VI: Do not complete Part VI using the standard format if a State or Local site assessment is used. With local and NRCS
assistance, use the local Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA).
1. Assign the maximum points for each site assessment criterion as shown in § 658.5(b) of CFR. In cases of corridor -type
project such as transportation, power line and flood control, criteria #5 and #6 will not apply and will, be weighted zero,
however, criterion #8 will be weighed a maximum of 25 points and criterion #11 a maximum of 25 points.
2. Federal agencies may assign relative weights among the 12 site assessment criteria other than those shown on the
FPPA rule after submitting individual agency FPPA policy for review and comment to NRCS. In all cases where other
weights are assigned, relative adjustments must be made to maintain the maximum total points at 160. For project sites
where the total points equal or exceed 160, consider alternative actions, as appropriate, that could reduce adverse
impacts (e.g. Alternative Sites, Modifications or Mitigation).
Part VII: In computing the "Total Site Assessment Points" where a State or local site assessment is used and the total
maximum number of points is other than 160, convert the site assessment points to a base of 160.
Example: if the Site Assessment maximum is 200 points, and the alternative Site "A" is rated 180 points:
Total points assigned Site A 180 X 160 = 144 points for Site A
Maximum points possible = 200

Subject: Request for Environmental Information for the Coor Island Mitigation Site, Wayne County,
North Carolina.
Mr. Harrell,
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
proposed project description. Comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Clean
Water Act of 1977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
In conjunction with the NC Division of Mitigation Services, Restoration Systems, LLC has identified and
developed the Coor Island Mitigation Site. The 30.5-acre site will restore and preserve riparian buffers.
This site is located along Neuse Islands Lane, southwest of its intersection with Old Smithfield Road,
west of Goldsboro.
The project area drains to Halfmile Branch in the Neuse River basin. Stream restoration projects often
improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing native, forested buffers in riparian areas will
improve both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species.
In addition to stringent best management practices for erosion and sediment control during construction,
the NCWRC recommends the use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control
devices. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting that is made of
natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Silt fencing and
similar products that have been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as they impede
the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have detrimental
effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs and clogging
of gills. Only native vegetation should be installed onsite and any invasive plant species found in or near
the project area should be removed and destroyed.

incurred by Grantee in enforcing the terms of this Conservation Easement against Grantor,
including, without limitation, any costs of restoration necessitated by Grantor's acts or omissions
in violation of the terms of this Conservation Easement, shall be borne by Grantor.

signed by all parties hereto, or their successors or assigns, if such amendment does not affect the
qualification of this Conservation Easement or the status of the Grantee under any applicable laws,
and is consistent with the purposes of the Conservation Easement. The owner of the Property shall
