Bank Parcel Development Package
Dead Tree Phase A Nutrient Offset Bank Parcel
Edgecombe County, NC — Tar -Pamlico River Basin
1.0 Introduction
Dead Tree Phase A Nutrient Offset Bank Parcel ("Parcel" or "Site") is proposed under the terms and
conditions of the Dead Tree Phase A Nutrient Offset Banking instrument, which will be made and entered
into by Restoration Systems, LLC (RS), acting as Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Water Resources (DWR). The Parcel shall be
planned and designed according to the MBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0703, and the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation
Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295.
Located in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, the project encompasses 65.4-4 acres of land utilized for
row crop production. The project will restore the riparian area along two (2) unnamed tributaries and six
(6) surface water conveyances (ditches) with hydrologic connection to the White Oak Swamp and
subsequently the Tar River. The primary purpose of the Parcel is to provide nutrient offset credits for
stormwater and wastewater requirements within the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Cataloging
Unit 03020101. The Parcel is located on two contiguous tracts of land 1.2 miles northeast of White Oak
Swamp and immediately adjacent to the tracts of land which contain the Dead Tree Phase B Bank Parcel.
The Parcel is located between Whitakers and Leggett, approximately 5.5 miles east of the town of
Whitakers in Edgecombe County, NC (Figure 1). The Barnes and Harris families are the current fee simple
owners of the two tracts of land associated with the Bank Parcel, which have been historically and are
currently used as agricultural fields with minimal existing forest/non-agricultural area. The Parcel is within
the Tar -Pamlico River Basin 14-digit USGS Cataloging Unit 03020101130100 of the Middle Atlantic Coastal
Plain (North Carolina Division of Water Quality [NCDWQ] Sub -basin Number 03-03-02) (Figure 1).
DWR representatives conducted an on -site stream determination on December 20, 2020. A Stream
Determination letter for the Parcel was provided on April 6, 2021, and a Site Viability for Buffer & Nutrient
Offset letter was provided by the Division on May 11, 2021. Both letters are provided in Appendix C.
2.0 Mitigation Project Summary
2.1 Project Goals
The primary goals of the proposed nutrient offset project are to provide ecological and water quality
enhancements to the Tar -Pamlico River Basin by restoring the riparian area to create a functional,
forested, riparian corridor. Specific improvements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined
below in Table 1.
Table 1: Ecological and Water Quality Goals
Goal
Objective
Decrease nutrient levels
Nutrient input will be decreased by filtering runoff from the agricultural fields
through restored native buffer zones. The off -site nutrient input will also be
absorbed on -site by filtering flood flows through restored floodplain areas,
where flood flows can disperse through native vegetation.

Pg. 1

Table 1: Ecological and Water Quality Goals (Continued)
Goal
Objective
Decrease sediment input
Sediment from off -site sources will be captured by deposition on restored
floodplain areas where native vegetation will slow overland flow velocities.
Decrease water temperature
and increase dissolved
oxygen concentrations
Planted riparian trees will shade the streams as they mature, reducing thermal
pollution.
Create appropriate
terrestrial habitat
Buffer areas will be restored by planting native vegetation.
Permanently protect the
project Parcel from harmful
uses
A conservation easement will be recorded on the Parcel.
2.2 Existing Parcel Conditions
The proposed nutrient offset project includes approximately 60.33 acres of open agricultural fields along
unnamed tributaries to White Oak Swamp. The agricultural fields are currently being used for row crop
production, including cotton, corn, and peanuts. In addition, the farmer regularly applies fertilizers and
herbicides to the fields (Figure 2). Land use and general site conditions have not changed since the site
photos in Appendix A were taken.
Site features predominantly originate on -site, and all drain to White Oak Swamp approximately 1.2 miles
downstream. A review of historic aerials shows the property has been historically and consistently utilized
for row crop production (Appendix A).

DWR performed an on -site visit of the Parcel to determine applicability to the Tar -Pamlico Buffer Rules
(15A NCAC 02B .0734) and viability to provide nutrient offset credits on December 30, 2020, A copy of
both the "On -Site Origin Determination for Applicability to the Tar -Pamlico Buffer Rules" and "Site Viability
for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset" are provided in Appendix C. In addition, a summary of their
determinations, specific to Parcel Features, is shown in Table 3 and correlated with stream segments as
labeled in Figure 2. There have been no changes to land use in the project area since DWR's site visit, and
project photos contained in Appendix A were taken.

2.3 Watershed Characterization
The Parcel is located within USGS HUC 03020101 and DWR Subbasin 03-03-02. Features drain to Whtie
Oak Swamp, which is classified as C and NSW by DWR. Class C waters are designated for recreational use,
agriculture, fishing and fish consumption, and the maintenance of biological integrity for wildlife. The NSW
designation applies to surface waters that are experiencing excessive growths of microscopic or
macroscopic vegetation.
The Parcel topography, as indicated on the Draughn, NC USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle, shows
gently sloped areas throughout the Parcel (Figure 3). Land uses draining to the project reaches are
primarily agriculture with some forested use.
2.4 Soils
The Parcel is mapped by the Edgecombe County Soil Survey. Project soils are described below in Table 4.
An image of the paper copy of the 1979 Soil Survey of Edgecombe County is provided in Figure 4. A custom
soil report is provided in Appendix D.

2.5 Geology
The Parcel is in the Inner Coastal Plain physiographic province. The landscape is characterized by flatlands
to gently rolling hills and valleys. Parcel elevations range from 74 to 96 feet above sea level. The Coastal
Plain primarily consists of marine sedimentary rocks comprised of sand, clay, and limestone formed
through the deposition of estuarine and marine sediments within the last 140 million years. According to
the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985), the underlying geology of the Parcel is mapped as the
Yorktown and Duplin Formations. The Yorktown Formation is described as fossiliferous clay with varying
amounts of fine-grained sand, bluish -gray shell material commonly concentrated in lenses, mainly in areas
north of the Neuse River. The Duplin Formation is shelly, medium to coarse -grained sand and sandy marl.
2.6 Existing Vegetative Communities
Existing vegetation within the Parcel consists of active row crop fields with narrow streamside thickets, as
shown in the attached site photos (Appendix A).
2.7 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 Edgecombe
County, NC. Six species, the Neuse River Waterdog, Carolina Madtom, Atlantic Pigtoe, Dwarf
Wedgemussel, Tar River Spinymussel, and Yellow Lance are listed or proposed for listing as federally
endangered or threatened species. RS performed pedestrian surveys of the Parcel in December 2020 and
determined no suitable habitat for the species with the proposed Parcel. The USFWS Self -Certification
Letter, USFWS concurrence, and NHP Report are included in Appendix D.
The presence of conditions or characteristics that can hinder restoration activities on the Parcel was
evaluated. The evaluation focused primarily on the presence of hazardous materials, utilities, and
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 A).
In addition, any Parcel conditions that can 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;
2.8 Cultural Resources and Significant Natural Heritage Areas
There are no existing structures in the project area or on the larger tract of land. SHPO was contacted with
a request for review and comment on February 25, 2021, and concluded in a response letter on April 1,
2021, that "the project as proposed will not have an effect on any historic structures." All communication
with SHPO is included in Appendix D.
2.9 FEMA Floodplain Compliance
No grading activities are proposed in the floodplain, so a floodplain development permit will not be
required. Additionally, no hydraulic modeling is proposed for this project.
2.10 Parcel Location, Parcel Constraints, and Access
The Parcel is in rural Edgecombe County, near the town of Whitakers. The Parcel is accessible for
construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship from Red Hill Church Road (Figure 2). An access road
and associated access easement will be detailed in the final conservation easement survey and recorded
Dead Tree Phase A, Bank Parcel Development Plan (DWR ID#: 0000-0000) Pg. 4
Tar -Pamlico River Basin 8-Digit HUC: 03020101

at the Edgecombe County Register of Deeds. DOT right of ways, powerlines, and associated easements
will be excluded from the conservation easement.
2.11 Existing Utility Line
An existing utility line runs along the northern edge of Red Hill Church Road. The utility lines are excluded
from the Parcel's footprint. An additional five-foot offset will be applied between the utility right-of-way
and the start of the conservation easement boundary, Figure 2.
2.12 Other Environmental Conditions
An Environmental Data Resources, Inc (EDR) Radius Map Report with Geocheck was provided for the
Parcel on February 26, 2021. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any of
the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. The executive summary of the
EDR report is included in Appendix D.
3.0 Site Protection Instrument
The land required for planting, management, and stewardship of the mitigation project includes portions
of the larger tract of land listed in Table 5. The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its
entirety by an approved DWR conservation easement, and managed/held by an approved DWR long-term
steward under the terms detailed in the approved conservation easement.

4.0 Mitigation Work 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. In addition, the project design will
ensure that no adverse impacts to wetlands or existing riparian buffers occur. Figure 5 illustrates the
conceptual design for the Parcel.
4.1 Parcel Preparation
The land use within 200 feet from the top of bank of project features is either forested and will not be
impacted, or is agricultural land maintained for crops. Areas slated for restoration will require little site
preparation because the land has been kept in agriculture. Therefore, no permits are necessary, including
404 (US Army Corps of Engineers), 401 (NC Division of Water Resources), and Land Quality Erosion and
Sediment Control (NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources). Site preparation will include select
herbicide treatments and/or limited mechanical clearing to remove undesirable vegetation. Where
needed, invasive species will be selectively removed and/or spot treated by a licensed pesticide
applicator.
4.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Riparian area restoration will involve planting appropriate native tree species along the riparian corridor.
Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed over the first few years of tree
establishment in the riparian restoration areas to prevent encroachment of undesirable species that may

Tar -Pamlico River Basin 8-Digit HUC: 03020101

out -compete the planted native vegetation. Tree species planted across the Parcel are anticipated to
include a mixture of the species listed in Table 6. Species availability may result in the substitution of
regionally appropriate native species. A minimum of 4 species of trees and shrubs collectively will be
planted. Final species composition and density will be detailed in the As -built Report.

Trees will be planted at a density sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in Rule 15A NCAC
02B .0295 of 260 planted trees per acre at the end of five years of monitoring. In addition, no one tree
species will be greater than 50% of the established stems. An appropriate seed mix of annual and
perennial species will also be applied to provide temporary and permanent ground cover for soil
stabilization and reduction of sediment Toss during rain events in areas without existing herbaceous cover.
Planting is tentatively scheduled for February 2022.
5.0 Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
5.1 Monitoring Protocol
Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be installed and evaluated within the riparian buffer
restoration and nutrient offset areas to measure the survival of the planted trees. The plots will be
randomly placed throughout the planted riparian areas. A total of 49 plots (2% of the restoration credit
generating area) will be established within the riparian restoration areas (Figure 7). The size of individual
quadrants will be 100 square meters.
Vegetation assessments will be conducted and follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2
Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner
of each of the 49 plots. Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in
the annual reports. All planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded.
Planting is scheduled for February 2022. The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the end
of the first growing season, at least five months after planting has been completed and no earlier than the
fall season. Species composition, height, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot.
The total number of volunteer woody stems will also be documented and reported. The measure of
vegetative success for the Parcel will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species, where
no one species is greater than 50% of the established planted stems, and an established density of at least
Dead Tree Phase A, Bank Parcel Development Plan (DWR ID#: 0000-0000) Pg. 6
Tar -Pamlico River Basin 8-Digit HUC: 03020101

260 planted trees per acre at the end of monitoring year five. Appropriate and desirable native volunteer
species may be included in the Parcel's density to meet the performance standards with DWR approval.
Restoration Systems shall submit the annual monitoring report to DWR by December 31 of each year for
five consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the Dead Tree Phase A Mitigation
Banking Instrument (MBI).
5.2 Parcel Maintenance
If the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in Section
5.1, adaptive measures will be developed and/or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented. Site
maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have a high likelihood
of affecting the project's success. Such items include but are not limited to fire, flooding, drought, or
insects that cause excess tree mortality. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success
criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. Any parcel maintenance
performed will be included in the monitoring report for that year. A rigorous herbicide schedule may need
to be implemented in the first few years of tree establishment in the restoration areas to prevent the
establishment of invasive species that may out -compete the planted native vegetation. The only
herbicides used on the Parcel will be aquatic approved herbicides that will be applied in accordance with
North Carolina Department of Agriculture rules and regulations.
The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities. Easement boundary
conditions and any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to DWR. If
mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must receive
approval from DWR prior to conducting any mowing activities within Tar -Pamlico Buffer Zones 1 and 2 to
ensure that no buffer violations have occurred.
6.0 Financial Assurances and Long -Term Management
6.1 Financial Assurances
Following approval of the Dead Tree Phase A Nutrient Offset Bank Parcel Development Package, the
Sponsor shall provide a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A -"as rated by A.
M. Best. The performance bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the
project as described in the Bank Parcel Development Package, but not less than $150,000. In lieu of
posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit
release. In that case, no performance bond will be necessary.
After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate performance/maintenance bond will be
secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan but not less
than $100,000. The performance/maintenance bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring period
for a term of one year and be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon DWR approval, this
may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next year's monitoring
period, with confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each annual monitoring report when
applicable. DWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted
without proof of bond renewals when applicable.

6.2 Long Term Management Plan
The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved DWR long-term
steward, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved DWR conservation easement. The
long-term manager will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure that the restrictions
documented in the recorded easement are upheld in perpetuity.
7.0 Mitigation Potential
Of the 65.44 acres protected under the conservation easement, 60.33 acres are anticipated to provide
Nutrient Offset Credits (Figure 6). Riparian area restoration, with a minimum of 50-feet from the top of
bank (TOB), out 200-feet from the TOB, will general Nutrient Offset Credit. The nutrient offset credit
calculation was derived based on Restoration Systems' conceptual design for maximum ecological uplift.
The management objectives, mitigation type, and proposed credits are presented in the DWR Credit Table
provided in Appendix B. A summary of the DWR Credit Table is provided in Table 7. These Nutrient Offset
Credits will be neither convertible or transferable to any other credit type, including Riparian Buffer
Mitigation.
