This project is designed to provide nutrient offset credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Neuse River Basin, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 8-cligit Cataloguing Unit 03020201 (Neuse 01), excluding Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 1). This Nutrient Offset Plan is in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0703. The Project is being codeveloped with the proposed Pickle Creek Buffer Mitigation Project that is contracted with the NC Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) and will extend riparian areas associated with the DMS project. m Parcel Location The Pickle Creek Phase 11 Project is within the Neuse River Basin within the 8-cligit HUC 03020201, 14-cligit HUC 030202011170030 and DWR Sub -basin Number 03-04-12. The Project is in Mount Olive in Wayne County, NC (Figure 1). To access the Project from the town of Mount Olive, travel north on Highway 117 for about a mile, then turn left on NC-55 W for 2.5 miles, then right on Thunder Swamp Rd, after 2 miles the destination will be on the left (Figure 2). The coordinates are 35.23175 -78.10784. 1.2 Parcel Overview The Pickle Creek Phase 11 Project consists of a conservation easement that will total approximately 10.58 acres that includes riparian area that is between 101 -200 feet off of three unnamed stream tributaries and the riparian area off of one ditch from 0-100 feet that drains into Thunder Swamp. Thunder Swamp is a USGS-named stream that eventually drains to the Neuse River. Current land use within the Project is strictly crop production (Figure 3). Much of the Project area has been used extensively for agricultural purposes for at least 40 years (Figure 4) Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include heavily manipulated/relocated and maintained stream channels, pollution from active crop production and use of liquid fertilizer irrigation for land application, and lack of forested and vegetated riparian areas. Current riparian area conditions demonstrate significant degradation with the loss of stabilizing vegetation because of continued crop production. The goal of the Project is to restore riparian areas by establishing appropriate plant communities while minimizing temporal and land disturbing impacts. Riparian area improvements will filter runoff from agricultural fields, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to nearby channels and provide water quality benefit to the overall watershed. The Pickle Creek Phase 11 Project is composed of the riparian area of one intermittent/perennial stream, J1, one ephemeral reach, D4, and one ditch feature, D2 (Figure 3). All streams have been straightened and are incised. Furthermore, onlythe fifty -foot riparian buffer of J1 was determined to be subject to the Neuse buffer protection rule, whereas D4 was determined to be an ephemeral stream and therefore not subject to the Neuse buffer protection rules ("non -subject"). D2 was determined to be a ditch. Stream determinations were verified by the DWR during a site visit on March 10", 2021. The DWR Stream Determination Letter is provided in Appendix A. Riparian restoration efforts along the Project streams and ditch will be accomplished through the planting, establishment, and protection of a hardwood forest community. The result will be a riparian area that functions to mitigate nutrient and sediment inputs from the surrounding uplands. This BPDP is being Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 2 October 2021 submitted for review under the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule (1 5A NCAC 02B .0295) and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0703). DWR performed a site viability assessment for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset on April 171h, 2021. This correspondence is provided in Appendix A. The Project will provide significant functional uplift to the watershed. The Project presents the opportunity to provide Nutrient Offset credits. These will be derived from restoration of the riparian areas. The nutrient offset credits will be produced by establishing a native forested and herbaceous riparian plant community and protecting these riparian areas in perpetuity with a conservation easement. The new plant community will be established in conjunction with the treatment of existing exotic or undesirable plant species. 1.2.1 Parcel Ownership The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this mitigation project includes a portion of the parcel listed below in Table 1. EBX, LLC will record a conservation easement from the current landowner for the project area. The Wilmington District Conservation Easement model template will be utilized to draft the site protection instrument. Once recorded, the secured easement will allow EBX, LLC to proceed with the Project development and protect the nutrient offset assets in perpetuity. Once finalized, a copy of the land protection instrument(s) will be included in Appendix B. Table 1. Parcel and Landowner Information Douglas Allen Jernigan 2S64319379 Conservation Wayne Easement Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 3 October 2021 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1.1 Surface Water Classification The primary stream feature pf the Project, J1, eventually drains to Thunder Swamp just downstream of the project easement. Thunder Swamp has been assigned class C and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW). Class C waters are protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. NSW designation is intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to being subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation (NCDWQ 2011). 2.1.2 Physiography and Soils The Project is located within the Rolling Coastal Plain Level IV ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains Level III ecoregion and is characterized by greater relief, elevation, and stream gradients compared to the Mid -Atlantic Coastal Plain to the east. This ecoregion contains both dissected irregular and smooth plains, and low to moderate gradient sandy -bottomed streams that branch from broad interstrearn divides with steep to moderately gentle side slopes. The ecoregion also contains better drained soils and a slightly cooler and shorter growing season than the Mid -Atlantic Coastal Plain; however, it is still a productive agricultural region with typical crops of corn, soybeans, tobacco, cotton, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and wheat (Griffith et al., 2002). The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) County Soil Mapping depicts four soil series across the Project (Figure 5). All soils on -site are formed in loamy or loamy and sandy marine deposits. All soil series are mapped adjacent together. The project is dominated by Kenansville loamy sand, with the three other soils about equal in area. Rains sandy loam and Torhunta loam are considered hydric by the NRCS, while Lynchburg sandy loam have minor hydric inclusions. The specific soil map units are detailed in Table 2. Table 2. Project Mapped Soil Series Ke Kenansville loamy 0% Well drained A Stream Terraces sand Ly Lynchburg sandy 8% Somewhat B/D Broad interstrearn divides on loam, 0 to 2 poorly well marine terraces, flats on marine percent slopes drained terraces Flats on marine terraces, broad Rains sandy loam, interstrearn divides on marine Ra 90% Poorly drained A/D 0 to 2 percent terraces, Carolina bays on marine terraces Very poorly Depressions on stream terraces, To Torhunta loam 90% drained A/D Carolina bays on marine terraces, flats on marine terraces 2.1.3 Wetlands The Pickle Creek Phase 11 project area does not appear to contain any wetlands according to preliminary site visits. National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping depicts one wetland within the Project area. This Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 4 October 2021 wetland, off the left bank of D2 (Figure 6). However, field observations indicate the depicted wetland does not exist. 2.1.4 Landscape Communities A. Existing Vegetation Communities Currently, the vegetative cover of the Project is primarily comprised of active cropland. Current crops onsite consist of corn and Miscanthus giganteus. However, the crop fields not in Miscanthus giganteus are regularly rotated between soybeans and corn. The forested areas adjacent to J1 and downstream of the Project are classified as mixed-mesic hardwood forest (Coastal Plain subtype). Common species within the adjacent forest include sweetgum (Liquidambor styrocifluo), red maple (Acer rubrum), water oak (Quercus nigra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), and some scattered loblolly pine (Pinus toedo). Invasive species were not observed within the Project at this time, however with the adjacency of the mixed hardwood forest and agricultural operations it can be assumed there are invasive species seed sources. B. Riparian Vegetation The current crop production around the Project is corn and about an 800 foot stretch of Miscanthus giganteus. Current conditions demonstrate significant habitat and water quality degradation with a loss of stabilizing vegetation as a result of impacts from ongoing crop production. There is no riparian buffer on the right bank of J1, but there is a mixed hardwood forest on the left bank, out of the Project area. Reach D4 has Miscanthus giganteus planted on the opposite bank as the project area. D2 has corn as its primary crop production around its banks. 2.1.5 Existing Conditions Photos Culvert Crossing on J I August 12, 2020 Buffer Condition along D4 August 12, 2020 Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 5 October 2021 Buffer Condition along D2 August 12, 2020 t" Culvert Crossing on J I July 15, 2021 Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Buffer Condition along J I August 12. 2020 Form field across from J I July 15, 2021 Bank Parcel Development Package 6 October 2021 3 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Threatened and Endangered Species Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. According to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAQ database review tool (accessed August 20, 2020) and the self -certification process conducted by RES and submitted to the USFWS on March 15, 2021, the list of threatened and endangered species includes the Red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), the Neuse River Waterclog (Necturus lewisi), and the Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiousus). The Pickle Creek Phase 11 Project does not contain any suitable habitat for the Red - cockaded woodpecker, the Neuse River Waterclog, or the Carolina Madtom. A self-certifi cation letter was sent to USFWS (on March 15, 2021). No response was received by USFWS. This consultation was conducted as part of the Categorical Exclusion (CE) process and supporting documentation and correspondence can be found in Appendix C. The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires consultation with state fish and wildlife agencies when 11 waters of any stream or other body of water are proposed or authorized, permitted or licensed to be impounded, diverted ... or otherwise controlled or modified." The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRQ was consulted during the CE process and the NCWRC did not comment on any state or federally listed species; however, they did recommend the use of biodegradable and wild life -friendly sediment and erosion control devices and to treat invasive species as part of the Project. Documentation is included in Appendix C. 3.2 Cultural Resources A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (accessed 20 August 2020) database did not reveal any registered occurrences within the Project area; however, there were two other occurrences within in the 0.5-mile radius; (Vernon and Baker Presbyterian). RES consulted with the SHPO during the CE process and the SHPO had "conducted a review of the project and are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project." Documentation is included in Appendix C. 3-3 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/ Hydrologic Trespass No portion of the Pickle Creek Phase 11 Project area is in FEMA flood zones (Figure 6). Therefore, no FEMA permitting is required. 3-4 Clean Water Act - Section 401/404 This project will not impact/fill any Waters of the US; therefore, there will be no 401/404 permit required. 3-5 Constraints The Pickle Creek Phase 11 project has a few constraints that will be accounted for prior to project construction. The landowner has a permit (AWS960127) to use hog waste to spray around his property. RES has approval from Agriments Services, Inc to update the Animal Waste Management Plan for NCDWR approval to remove the land that will be included in this Project (along with the adjacent DIVIS Project). Also included in this plan will be the removal of two irrigation hydrants (Figure 4). Prior to submittal of this plan, RES has received correspondence from Agriments that there will be no issue with this renewal based on the proposed land being removed from use. 3.6 Additional Environmental Consideration A limited Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed for the Parcel by acquiring an Environmental Date Resources (EDR) report in February 2021. The report can be found in Appendix D. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 7 October 2021 environmental databases searched by EDR. There are no known or potentially hazardous waste sites identified within or immediately adjacent to the project area. There were two environmental record mapped sites found within an 1/8 mile of the Project property. These are associated with the hog farm operations nearby and across the road which forms a ridge and therefore if an incident occurred, waste would flow in the opposite direction of the project. 4 RIPARIAN RESTORATION IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Riparian restoration areas adjacent to streams and one ditch are shown in Figure 7 and mitigation type determinations and nutrient offset viability was approved by DWR in the Site Viability Letter dated May 181h, 2021 (Appendix A). 4-1 Parcel Preparation Preparation at the Project will involve spraying crops and exotic invasive species, applying soil amendments, seeding native plants, and planting trees. Soil amendments will be provided across the entire planted area based on the results of soil fertility tests. The soils fertility tests will be based on soil samples collected within proposed riparian restoration areas across the site. A seed mix will be chosen to maximize successful herbaceous growth in all riparian areas while also incorporating valuable pollinator species. All riparian planting areas will be seeded using a no -till drill prior to tree planting. Temporary and permanent riparian seeding, bare root plantings, and live stakes shall be planted according to the planting plan (Section 4.3). The limits of the riparian restoration areas will be surveyed post -planting and seeding, and the information will be provided in the As -Built report and plat. 4.2 Methods Riparian restoration activities along streams and a viable ditch will be implemented to generate nutrient offset credits. All applicable areas were determined by the site viability assessment by DWR (Appendix A). 4.2.1 Riparian Restoration Activities — Streams For stream channels, the Project will provide nutrient offset through riparian restoration activities in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n) and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. Riparian restoration activities will include the planting of bare root plantings as described in Section 4.3. These restoration activities will begin from the tops of the proposed stream banks and extend outward to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular to the stream channel. Restoration will occur where cropland is currently present (Figure 7). One of the stream channels, D4, is an ephemeral stream. As per the rule, ephemeral streams are natural channels with discernable banks observable within crenulations on a USGS 7.5-minute topographic map (Figure 8). Moreover, in accordance with Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703, the entire area proposed for nutrient offset credit along reach D4 is located within the contributing drainage area to the ephemeral channel and is directly connected to a perennial reach downstream (Figure 3 and Figure 7). The channel will be contiguously contained within the conservation easement areas of the DMS Pickle Creek Project and the Pickle Creek Phase 11 Project. 4.2.2 Riparian Restoration Activities — Ditches The eastern easement section of the Project includes one ditch reach: D2 (Figure 7). This ditch is proposed for nutrient offset through riparian restoration in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 8 October 2021 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n), Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703, and the DWR site viability assessment (Appendix A). The riparian restoration activities will include the planting of bare root trees as described in Section 4.3 and the other activities mentioned in 4.2.3. These restoration activities will begin from the tops of the ditch banks and extend a minimum of 50 feet from the ditch outward to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular to the ditch channel. All these riparian areas are currently cropland (Figure 3). 4.2.3 Other Activities Other activities involved with the Project include plugging and filling two small ditches connected to D2, and stabilizing banks in localized areas. Upon approval of this project and finalization of the conservation easement, application of animal waste will not be permitted within a conservation easement or within riparian areas where nutrient offset credits are proposed to be generated. All riparian areas proposed to be placed in a conservation easement will be removed from the Waste Utilization Plan. Written approval by DWR of any modification to the existing Waste Utilization will be received. Additionally, no infrastructure or impervious areas will remain above the ground within the riparian areas where nutrient offset is proposed. If any infrastructure is to remain in the ground, it will be capped and cleadheaded so that there will be no possibility of any underground leakage if they are damaged by tree roots or other activities. This Project will be co-cleveloped with a DIVIS buffer mitigation that will be contiguous with the boundaries of this project and includes some of the same features as this project. Therefore, riparian planting and site preparation activities will extend beyond the limits of this Project's boundaries to include the limits of the DIVIS full -delivery project. 4-3 Planting Plan All riparian restoration areas will be planted from the top of bank, extending out to a maximum of 200 feet, with bare root tree seedlings on a nine by six-foot spacing to achieve an initial density of approximately 800 trees per acre. Planting will occur in all areas proposed for nutrient offset and will meet the performance standards outlined in the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. This includes planting at least four species of native hardwood bare root trees. To ensure tree diversity across the Project area, bare root trees will be well mixed before planting. A Mixed-Mesic Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain subtype) (Schafale 2012) will be the target community type and will be used for all areas within the Project. This community composition is highly diverse and is suitable given the Project's soil and landscape characteristics and will provide water quality and ecological benefits. The initial planting of bare root trees will occur before Spring 2022. The list of bare root tree species to be planted and their percentage of total species composition can be found in Table 3. Please note that the real compositions of planted trees may differ from this proposed list due to availability; however, the procured trees will ideally be comprised of species from the list. With that said, the minimum number of unique species to be planted across the Project will be seven. Some areas in vicinity of forested areas may require maintenance due to the rapid regeneration of some species, such as red maple (Acer rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambor styrocifluo). Additionally, where needed for bank stabilization, banks will be live staked with black willow (Solix nigro), and silky dogwood (Comus amomum). Planting areas will also be seeded with an herbaceous seed mix to provide rapid herbaceous cover and promote immediate buffer effectiveness as well as habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. The seed blend will contain both temporary and permanent seed and will include taproot species. See Table 4 for the proposed herbaceous seed mix composition. The seed will be sown utilizing a no -till drill. Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 9 October 2021 Table 3.

Boundaries may be identified by marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 10 October 2021 as allowed by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities and the conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to DWR. This Project will be codeveloped with a DMS full -delivery buffer mitigation project as mentioned throughout this document and shown in figures. There will be a DMS conservation easement nested adjacent the boundaries of this Project that will also be marked appropriately. 5 MONITORING PLAN 5.1 Monitoring Protocol and Performance Standards Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Riparian vegetation monitoring where riparian buffer mitigation credits are being generated will be based on the "Carolina Vegetation Su rvey- Ecosystem Enhancement Program Protocol for Recording Vegetation: Level 1-2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.2". Annual vegetation monitoring will occur each year for a minimum of five years and will be conducted during the fall season with the first year occurring at least 6 months from initial planting. Monitoring plots will be installed a minimum of 100 meters squared in size and will cover at least two percent of the planted mitigation area. The planted area is 10.23 acres, and there will be 9 vegetation plots measuring performance standards in all riparian restoration areas. These plots will be randomly placed throughout the planted riparian restoration area and will be representative of the riparian community (Figure 10). The following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems in plots will be flagged with flagging tape. The measures of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems, at a density of at least 260 stems per acre at the end of Year 5. Native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance standards upon written approval by DWR. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site. Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports. Visual inspections and photos will be taken to ensure that applicable areas are being maintained and compliant. A visual assessment of the conservation easement will also be performed each year to confirm: Easement markers are in good condition throughout the site; no encroachment has occurred; no invasive species occur in areas were invasive species were treated, diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement areas; and there has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would negatively affect the functioning of the buffer. A summary of project monitoring and maintenance activities can be found in Table 5. Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 11 October 2021 Table 5. Summary of Project Monitoring and Maintenance Activities Vegetation Annual Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the vegetation targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair monitoring activities may include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period. Invasive and Visual Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none Nuisance Assessment become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Vegetation Project. Locations of invasive and nuisance vegetation will be mapped. Also, see Appendix D for more details. Project Boundary Visual Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear Assessment distinction between the mitigation project and adjacent properties. Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as - needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/ signage maintenance will continue in r)erDetuitv as a stewardshir) activitv. 5.2 Adaptive Management Plan and Project Maintenance Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions taken if in the event that the project, or a specific component of the project, fails to achieve the defined success criteria. Remedial actions will be designed to achieve the success criteria specified in this Plan, and will include identification of the causes of failure, remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring criteria that will consider physical and climatic conditions. Initial plant maintenance may include a one-time mowing, prior to initial planting to remove undesirable species. If mowing is deemed necessary by RES during the monitoring period, RES must first receive approval by DWR prior to any mowing activities to ensure that no buffer violations will be committed. Failure to receive approval to mow within the Neuse River buffer, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0714 by DWR, could result in Neuse River buffer violations and violations of the conservation easement. If necessary, RES will develop a species -specific control plan. Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 12 October 2021 6 LONG TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN At this time, the proposed plan for the long-term stewardship of the site is that the Project will be transferred to the NCDEQ Stewardship Program. NCDEQ Stewardship Program would serve as the conservation easement holder and entity responsible for long term stewardship of the Project. This party would conduct periodic inspection of the Project to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. 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. The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage to identify boundary markings as needed. Any livestock or associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility of the owner of the underlying fee to maintain. 7 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE The Sponsor will provide financial assurances in the form of Performance Bonds sufficient to assure one hundred percent (100%) completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and monitoring, and any remedial work required. Financial assurances will be payable at the direction of the DWR to its designee or to a standby trust. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the DWR in the event of default by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. The initial performance bond will be in the amount of at least $150,000 and shall be able to cover 100% of the costs associated with construction of the riparian restoration areas. The monitoring bond shall be in the amount of at least $100,000 and shall be able to cover 100% of the costs associated with the monitoring and maintenance of the riparian restoration areas for five years. Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed to cover the next years 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. Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project Bank Parcel Development Package 13 October 2021 8 PROJECT'S CREDIT POTENTIAL This Project has the potential to generate up to 23,216.119 lbs. of N of nutrient offset mitigation credits within a 10.58-acre conservation easement as depicted in Figure 7. These will be derived from riparian restoration nutrient offset. The credits generated will service the Neuse 01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. Nutrient offset credits will be generated within the 0-200' riparian zones of features J1, D2, and D4. The total potential nutrient offset credits that the Pickle Creek Phase 11 Nutrient Offset Project will generate were calculated using the DWR "Project Credit Table Template (Updated October 2020)" and are presented in Table 6.

Olive NC Neuse 03020201 Wayne County Dear Ms. McEachran, On March 15, 202 1, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request from you on behalf of Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX) for a site visit near the above - referenced site in the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03 02020 1. The site visit was to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within a proposed Easement Boundary, which is more accurately shown in the attached maps labeled "Figure 3b-Existing Conditions" (Figure 1), prepared by EBX. On April 17, 202 1, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site and staff with EBX were also present. The site visit revealed the following site constraints: UTILITIES: An overhead powerline was observed along feature J1. The utility line shall not be within a conservation easement or within riparian areas where buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits are proposed to be generated. PERMITS: An Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) permit is associated with this property. The permit associated with this property is # AWS960127 and allows for some or all the property to be used for the land application of animal waste per an approved Waste Utilization Plan issued by the DWR. • Application of animal waste will not be permitted within a conservation easement or within riparian areas where buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits are proposed to be generated. • All riparian areas proposed to be placed in a conservation easement must be removed from the Waste Utilization Plan. • Written approval by DWR of any modification to the existing Waste Utilization Plan and/or the applicable permit will be required, to generate buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits within these riparian areas. EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE: Existing underground and above ground infrastructure is present and is likely for purposes of irrigating the property for the land application of animal waste associated with permit # AWS960127.

The map representing the proposal for the site are attached to this letter and are initialed by Ms. Merritt on May 18, 202 1. Substantial changes to the proposed easement boundary as well as site constraints identified on page I of this letter 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. This viability assessment will expire on May 18, 2023 or upon approval of a mitigation plan by the DWR, whichever comes first. This letter should be provided in any nutrient offset, buffer, stream or wetland mitigation plan for this Site.

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 EC0S-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 EC0S-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 02/19/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-01553 2 evaluation and can be found on our web page at bttp://www.fws.gov/raleigb. 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:H www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:H www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratoDLbirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/ towers/comtow.html. Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7 consultation with the US 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.

Reid Wilson, Secretary Wa [ter Clark Director, Nvision of Land and Water Stewardship NCNHDE-14006 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 Federal ly-I isted 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: httr)s�//www.fws.gov/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, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally - listed species are documented near the project area.

Mr. Sanner, 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. 40 1, 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, Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC has identified and developed the Pickle Creek Riparian Buffer Mitigation Project. The 17.39-acre site will restore and preserve riparian buffers in perpetuity. The project watershed consists of agriculture and forested lands, as well confined animal feeding operations. This site is located northwest of the intersection of Shady Grove and Thunder Swamp Roads, northwest of Mount Olive. The project area drains to Thunder Swamp 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 NCVVRC recommends the use of biodegradable and wildlife-friencffy 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 J oints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Siltfencingand 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. Mailing Address: N.C.

The list was formerly known as the CERCLIS-NFRAP, renamed to SEMS ARCHIVE by the EPA in 2015. EPA may perform a minimal level of assessment work at a site while it is archived if site conditions change and/or new information becomes available. Archived sites have been removed and archived from the inventory of SEMS sites. Archived status indicates that, to the best of EPA's knowledge, assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined no further steps will be taken to list the site on the National Priorities List (NPL), unless information indicates this decision was not appropriate or other considerations require a recommendation for listing at a later time. The decision does not necessarily mean that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that. based upon available information, the location is not judged to be potential NPL site.

Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800's to 1950's to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production, such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non-volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil and groundwater contamination.

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. TC6368113.2s 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.
