I. PREAMBLE
This Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument ("Instrument") regarding the establishment, use,
operation, and maintenance of two Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcels to
provide Neuse Riparian Buffer mitigation credits ("Riparian Buffer Credits") and Neuse
Nutrient Strategy nutrient load reduction credit ("Nutrient Offset Credits") is made and entered
into by and among Restoration Systems, LLC acting as the Bank Sponsor ("Sponsor"), and the
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality — Division of Water Resources
("DWR"). This Instrument is in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703 and the Consolidated
Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295, which became effective on April 1, 2020 and
November 1, 2015 respectively, see references. This instrument covers two individual bank
parcels/sites, Raleigh Farm Phase A and Raleigh Farm Phase B-C.
The purpose of the Bank is:
A. To restore enhance and preserve riparian vegetation adjacent to streams, ephemeral
channels, in -line ponds, and/or agricultural ditches with the intent to improve water quality,
reduce nutrient loads, enhance flood attenuation, and restore wildlife habitat along streams
and/or water features within the Neuse River Basin (8-digit HUC 03020201).
B. To convert agricultural land, including land currently being used for the application of bio-
solids by the City of Raleigh wastewater treatment plant, within riparian areas adjacent to
streams, ephemeral channels, in -line ponds, and/or agricultural ditches into a dense,
hardwood vegetated state with the intent to significantly reduce nutrient loading, associated
with agricultural practices, into streams and ditches.
C. To provide Riparian Buffer Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits and sell or transfer any
resulting Riparian Buffer Credits and/or Nutrient Offset Credits to third parties in the Neuse
River Basin for development (both existing and proposed, or to offset NPDES-permitted
wastewater nutrient sources, requiring such nutrient offsets).
II. LOCATION AND GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA
A. The Geographic Service Area ("GSA") is the designated area wherein a Bank can
reasonably be expected to sell Riparian Buffer Credits and/or Nutrient Offset Credits for
impacts due to development activities.
B. The Raleigh Farm Phase A Bank Parcel and the Raleigh Farm Phase B-C Bank Parcel are
comprised of land in Wake County, NC, owned and managed by the City of Raleigh as
part of their Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility (NRRRF), currently used for row
crops and biosolids application under NCDWR Non -Discharge permit #WQ0001730.
The project is located at 35.7957632, -78.6366464. The Bank Parcels are located
below Falls Dam and is therefore not located within the Falls Lake Watershed. The
Bank Parcels proposed under this Instrument occur on multiple parcels of land owned
by City of Raleigh and are referred to as Raleigh Farm Phase A (77.07 acres), Raleigh
Farm Phase B (33.94 acres), and Raleigh Farm Phase C (73.96 acres) in previous DWR
correspondence. These lands are also part of the NRRRF Correction Action Plan issued
by DWR on September 2, 2010.

DocuSign Envelope ID: E63B04DC-8DAE-4EEC-9D50-C2A0FD88FDCD
C. The GSA for these Bank Parcels is limited to the Neuse River Basin in the State of North
Carolina, United States Geological Survey ("USGS") 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code
("HUC") 03020201, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed.
D. Sale or transfer of Riparian Buffer Credits shall be limited to the 8-digit HUC 03020201
of the Neuse River Basin, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed unless otherwise authorized
by the DWR or delegated local government in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295.
E. Sale or transfer of Nutrient Offset Credits shall be limited to the Neuse River Basin (8-digit
HUC 03020201) excluding the Falls Lake Watershed in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B
.0703 unless otherwise authorized by the DWR in accordance with G.S.143-214.26.
F. Unnamed tributaries to the Neuse River and Beddingfield Creek are the receiving bodies
of water for stormwater runoff from these bank parcels. The Neuse River is classified by
DWR as Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) and Class C Waters above the confluence with
Beddingfield Creek and Class WS-V immediately below the confluence with Beddingfield
Creek.
III. AUTHORITIES
A. The Bank will be used to provide Riparian Buffer Credit and/or Nutrient Offset Credit in
accordance with the requirements in the DWR Authority document referenced herein as
"Attachment A" and attached to this Instrument.
B. Projects eligible for utilization of the credits are those requiring authorization under the
requirements of Attachment A and any new approved North Carolina ("State") statutes and
rules for the Neuse Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy.
C. The selling of credits generated from the Bank Parcels approved under this Instrument shall
be consistent with approved State statutes and rules for the Neuse Nutrient Sensitive Waters
Management Strategy.
D. Buffer mitigation and nutrient offset activities proposed under this Instrument and
corresponding Bank Parcel Development Packages (BPDPs) to generate Riparian Buffer
Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits shall be consistent with State statutes and rules for the
Neuse Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy that are in place at the time a
complete BPDP is submitted to DWR.
IV. ESTABLISHMENT OF BANK PARCELS
A. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and 15A NCAC 02B .0703, DWR has provided
a "Site Viability Letter" for each of the Bank Parcels proposed under this Instrument. The
Site Viability Letter is not an approval of the site to generate Riparian Buffer Credits and
Nutrient Offset Credits but is a preliminary review of the Bank Parcel that details and
confirms existing land -use conditions, defines the riparian zone sites (Enhancement,
Preservation, or Restoration), and identifies features (streams, ditches, ponds, etc.) that
meet general criteria to be suitable to generate Riparian Buffer Credits and Nutrient Offset

B. A valid Site Viability Letter is required prior to submittal of each BPDP. Site Viability
Letters will either expire on the dates listed in the table above or upon the submittal of an
individual As -Built Report to the DWR, whichever comes first. If a Site Viability Letter
expires prior to submittal of a complete BPDP as described in Section V to DWR, then the
Sponsor must submit a formal request to DWR for a new Site Viability Letter for that Bank
Parcel.
C. The two (2) Bank Parcels proposed for inclusion under this Instrument shall each require
a Bank Parcel Development Package ("BPDP") be submitted to, and approved by, the
DWR prior to use of the individual Bank Parcels for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset
purposes or the sale or transfer of any associated credits. The contents of the BPDPs are
provided in Section V.
D. Each BPDP submitted under this instrument will be placed on public notice and made
available for public commenting for 15 calendar days.
E. In general, Riparian Buffer credit on these Bank Parcels may be achieved through
restoration and/or preservation of DWR riparian buffers as they are defined in 15A NCAC
02B .0714, and other riparian areas as allowed per 15A NCAC 02B .0295(n) and (o) on
the Bank Parcel. Riparian buffer credits are only attainable if the width of riparian areas
are within at least 20 feet from tops of banks along streams and ephemeral channels and 30
feet from tops of banks along viable ditches when measuring perpendicular and landward
from features. Riparian Buffer Credits are attainable to a maximum of 200 feet from tops
of banks of streams and 50 feet from the tops of banks of viable ditches. The viability of
features to generate riparian buffer credits is provided in the Site Viability Letters for the
Bank Parcels and referenced in Table 1.0 of this instrument.
F. The Bank Parcels are intended to provide Neuse River Basin Buffer Mitigation as follows:
5

DocuSign Envelope ID: E63B04DC-8DAE-4EEC-9D50-C2A0FD88FDCD
1. Planting hardwood trees on a Restoration Site as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (b)
adjacent to viable streams.
2. Planting hardwood trees on a Restoration Site as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (b)
adjacent to ephemeral channels as allowed in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o).
3. Planting hardwood trees on a Restoration Site as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (b)
adjacent to in -line ponds as suggested in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o).
4. Maintaining a Preservation Site, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (b) by placing a
conservation easement around riparian areas along streams and ephemeral channels as
allowed per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o).
5. Diffused flow will be maintained onsite to the maximum extent practicable. Where
diffused flow is unattainable, the Clarification Memo (Reference #4) will be
implemented.
G. Nutrient Offset Credit may be achieved on the Bank Parcels through restoration or
enhancement of the riparian areas adjacent to viable streams and viable ditches where
agriculture or land being used for the application of biosolids are the predominant land use
as determined by DWR on these Bank Parcel. The width of the riparian restoration and
enhancement areas begins at the most landward limit of the top of bank or the rooted
herbaceous vegetation of streams and ditches and extends landward a minimum of 50 feet
and a maximum of 200 feet on all sides of the features. A conservation easement will be
secured to include the tops of all channel banks and will extend out a maximum of 200 feet
from the viable streams and viable ditches. The viability of features to generate nutrient
offset credit is provided in the Site Viability Letters for the Bank Parcels and referenced in
Table 1.0 of this Instrument.
H. The Bank Parcels are expected to provide Nutrient Offset Credits as follows:
1. Converting current land use practices, where agriculture, including the land -
application of biosolids are the predominate land uses, into non-agricultural land
uses by placing a perpetual conservation easement around riparian areas along
viable streams, viable in -line ponds, viable ditches and viable ephemeral channels
in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703 (g).
2. Planting hardwood trees or trees and shrubs on a Restoration Site as defined in 15A
NCAC 02B .0295 (b) adjacent to viable streams, viable in -line ponds, viable ditches
and viable ephemeral channels where agriculture has been determined by DWR to
be the predominant land -use.
I. The Bank Parcels' conservation easements are anticipated to incorporate approximate
acreage as follows:
1. Raleigh Farm Phase A Bank Parcel — 77.07 acres
2. Raleigh Farm Phase B-C Bank Parcel — 107.9 acres

protection, operation and maintenance of restored riparian buffers and other riparian areas
for the duration specified in the approved BPDP for each Bank Parcel.
F. The form of the conservation easement shall be consistent with the standards employed by
the State of North Carolina in the protection of restored riparian buffers and riparian areas
and shall be approved by the DWR prior to the release of any credits.
G. The Sponsor shall not grant additional easements, right of ways, or any other property
interest in or to the project areas, without prior approval from the DWR.
H. The Sponsor agrees to transfer or assign the conservation easement and its interests in
perpetuity to a qualified holder under NC General Statute ("GS") 121-34 et seq. and 170(h)
of the Internal Revenue Code prior to DWR approval of the As -Built Report. The holder
shall be a land trust or stewardship program that will hold and enforce the conservation
easement and the interests in perpetuity. The Sponsor shall choose a land trust or
stewardship program that is accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission and/or
has been approved by DWR. A land trust must be certified under 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code.
I. In the event the Sponsor is also the owner of the underlying fee interest in the property, the
conveyance of the conservation easement to a land trust or stewardship fund must be
arranged at the outset of the approved BPDP.
J. The Sponsor agrees the conservation easement approved by DWR will include language
allowing for the continued monitoring of existing water quality wells and other devices to
monitor and maintain water quality for compliance with the City of Raleigh's Non -

Financial Assurances for Monitoring and Maintenance
D. After completion of the riparian restoration and other construction activities on each Bank
Parcel, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be secured for 100% of the
estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan as described in the
approved BPDP and As -Built Report. Each Bank Parcel will obtain a separate
Performance/Maintenance Bond. The Bonds must be from a surety company that is rated
no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best, and it is the Sponsor's responsibility to confirm
that the surety company is rated no less than an "A-" with annual bond renewal.
E. A Performance/Maintenance Bond shall be secured for each Bank Parcel each year for a
minimum of five years, and until DWR has released all Riparian Buffer Credits and
Nutrient Offset Credits to the Bank Sponsor. Upon DWR approval, the bonds may be
lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring. No bond shall be
initially less than $100,000 to cover monitoring and maintenance costs.
F. For each Bank Parcel, once DWR has released 100% of all credits for completion of all
Bank Parcel milestones described in Table 2 of Section VIII, the Bank Sponsor can be
released from its performance obligations under the performance bond required in "C-D"
of this Section.
G. To comply with this section, DWR must be the Obligee on all performance bonds.
Monitoring and Maintenance Reports
H. The Sponsor shall monitor each Bank Parcel as described in the BPDP until such time as
DWR determines that the performance standards described below have been met. The
monitoring period shall be a minimum of five consecutive years for each Bank Parcel.

native hardwood tree and shrub species should be planted at a density sufficient to provide
10

DocuSign Envelope ID: E63B04DC-8DAE-4EEC-9D50-C2A0FD88FDCD
260 stems per acre after five years. A minimum of four (4) native hardwood trees or four
(4) native hardwood tree and shrub species must be planted. No one species shall be greater
than 50% of the planted stems. A list of species for planting will be detailed in the BPDP
for approval. Native hardwood tree volunteer species may be included to meet
performance standards as determined by the DWR.
J. A "stem" means a woody seedling, sapling, shrub or tree, no less than 10 centimeters in
height and shall apply, on the Bank Parcels, to the minimum height that a planted tree or
shrub shall be at initial planting. Volunteer stems that are less than 10 centimeters shall
not be quantified and included in the annual vegetation data included with the monitoring
reports
K. If the performance standards of the vegetation are not met for an individual Bank Parcel,
supplemental plantings may be required. Supplemental plantings will be utilized until the
required densities have been achieved and maintained for five years. Bank Parcel
maintenance, such as ensuring diffuse flow, managing invasive species, and pest control
will be included in the BPDP.
L. Monitoring Reports for Riparian Buffer Credit and Nutrient Offset Credit: Reporting
criteria of the vegetation shall be based on the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) — EEP
Protocol for Recording Vegetation Level 2 Plot Sampling only version 4.0 or any updated
versions of this protocol in place at the date of acceptance of the BPDP. The Sponsor shall

DocuSign Envelope ID: E63B04DC-8DAE-4EEC-9D50-C2A0FD88FDCD
Contingency Plans/Remedial Actions
M. In the event a Bank Parcel fails to achieve the performance criteria described in this
Instrument and the approved BPDP, the Bank Sponsor shall develop necessary contingency
plans in coordination with the DWR and implement appropriate remedial actions for the
Bank Parcel and the Bank. Depending on the degree of remedial actions required, the DWR
may modify the monitoring period and credit release schedule.
VII. CALCULATION OF CREDITS
Riparian Buffer Credits
A. All Riparian Buffer Credits shall be determined based on the ratios and percentages
provided in 15A NCAC 02B .0295(m) and (n) following the guidance provided in the
Clarified Procedures for Calculating Buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset
Credits letter (see References) issued by the DWR including the most recent Project
Credit Table Template provided online (see Appendix C).
B. Riparian buffer restoration on the Bank Parcel, as described in 15A NCAC 02B
.0295(n), and defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (b) that is performed on agriculture
lands within the Bank Parcel, may be used for either Riparian Buffer Credit or
Nutrient Offset Credit, but not both.
C. Riparian buffer preservation on the Bank Parcel as described in 15A NCAC 02B
.0295(o) can only be used for Riparian Buffer Credit.
D. Riparian Buffer Credit is defined as one (1) buffer credit per one square foot or
43,560 buffer credits per one acre.
Nutrient Offset Credits
E. The square footage of Nutrient Offset Credits on both Bank Parcels will be determined
by applying the applicable ratio as provided in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (m) for a

IX. PROCEDURE FOR DEBITING AND CREDITING FOR EACH BANK PARCEL
Credit Ledgers
A. The Bank Sponsor shall maintain one credit ledger for each mitigation type for each Bank
Parcel under this Instrument, unless otherwise instructed by DWR. Each Bank Parcel will
have a separate credit ledger. Credit ledgers shall provide the accounting for Riparian
Buffer Credits in square feet and acres, and Nutrient Offset Credits in pounds and square
feet.
B. Each credit ledger shall be submitted on a separate 8 V2-in X 11-in spreadsheet with legible
font style and font size. All ledgers shall be submitted using the templates provided in
Attachments B of this Instrument or any updated versions to these templates as provided
by DWR.
Credit Processing
C. Credits must be calculated for the Bank Parcel using the most recent Project Credit Table
template see Attachment C, which is referenced in the guidance provided in the Clarified
Procedures for Calculating buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits letter
issued by the DWR, see reference #5.
D. Riparian Buffer Credits generated on these Bank Parcels will be used to provide buffer
mitigation for authorized riparian buffer impacts within the 03020201 HUC of the Neuse
River Basin, excluding Falls Lake Watershed, according to 15A NCAC 02B. 0295 (f) and
(g)•
E. Riparian Buffer Preservation credits generated on these Bank Parcels are not transferrable
into nutrient offset credits.
F. Nutrient Offset Credits generated on this Bank Parcel will be used to offset nitrogen
nutrient loadings within the 03020201 HUC of the Neuse River Basin, excluding Falls
Lake Watershed, in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703.
G. Available Riparian Buffer Credits (credits that have been released by DWR but not sold by
the Sponsor) that are generated from riparian restoration on agricultural land and meet
criteria for nutrient offset credits as depicted in the Project Credit Table in the approved
BPDP or approved As -Built Report, whichever applies at the time of the request can be
converted and transferred from Riparian Buffer Credits into Nutrient Offset Credits upon
written approval from DWR. Once a credit has been converted to another credit type, the
transaction is permanent, and the credit cannot be converted again.
H. Available Nutrient Offset Credits (credits that have been released by DWR but not sold by
the Sponsor) that are generated from riparian restoration within 0-100' form top of banks
and meet criteria for riparian buffer credits as depicted in the Project Credit Table in
the approved BPDP or approved As -Built Report, whichever applies at the time of the
request, can be converted from Nutrient Offset Credits to Riparian Buffer Credits upon
written
15

DocuSign Envelope ID: E63B04DC-8DAE-4EEC-9D50-C2A0FD88FDCD
approval from DWR. Once a credit has been converted to another credit type, the

Credits for this project.
N. If the DWR determines that the Bank is operating at a deficit (e.g. the Sponsor is utilizing,
selling, leasing or transferring credits that are not available), or the Bank is out of
compliance with statutes, rules or this Agreement, the sale, transfer and use of credits will
immediately cease, and the DWR, in consultation with the Sponsor, will determine what
remedial actions are necessary.
X. BANK PARCEL CLOSURE
A. Bank Parcel Closure for each Bank Parcel under this Instrument shall be identified as the
event when the Sponsor is relieved of all of its responsibilities to the Bank Parcel and there
are no Riparian Buffer Credits or Nutrient Offset credits left to sell.
B. Bank Parcel Closures shall commence only after all the following events have occurred:
