Travel for two miles (East Main Street turns into West Main Street and then Wallace Highway). Next, take a slight right onto Cornwallis Road. The site will be approximately 0.5 mile ahead on the right. 18. Nature of Activity (Description of project, include all features) The Twin Bays Wetland Restoration Site (TBWRS) is a full - delivery mitigation project being developed for the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP). The TBWRS is former non - riparian wetland system in the Cape Fear Basin (03030007 8 -digit HUC) in southern Duplin County, North Carolina that has been substantially modified to maximize agricultural production. The site offers the chance to restore impacted agricultural lands to non - riparian wetland habitat. The project goals will be addressed through the following objectives: fill field ditches to restore surface flow retention and elevate local groundwater levels, redevelop longer wetland flow patterns to increase surface flow retention time, modify an existing pond to its natural seep condition to feed the downslope wetland, restore a native forested hardwood wetland community using; natives trees and seed mixes. 19. Project Purpose (Describe the reason or purpose of the project, see instructions) The Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities state the goals for the TBWRS's 14 -digit HUC are to expand restoration opportunities and repair riparian buffers (NCDENR EEP, 2009). The project goals for TBWRS are in line with the basin priorities and include the following: slow and treat the runoff of upslope agricultural drainage, restore a hardwood flats community, develop valuable wetland habitat niches within a drained agricultural landscape. USE BLOCKS 20 -23 IF DREDGED AND /OR FILL MATERIAL IS TO BE DISCHARGED 20. Reason(s) for Discharge Fill will be discharged into jurisdictional tributaries for the purpose of restoring the hydrology to approximately 1 1 acres of drained wetlands. 21. Type(s) of Material Being Discharged and the Amount of Each Type in Cubic Yards: Type Type Type Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards Fill - 1,250 CY 22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled (see instructions) Acres 0.39 or Linear Feet 23. Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation (see instructions) In order to reestablish wetland hydrology throughout a much larger area drainage features (jurisdictional tributaries) will be filled. We anticipate that filling these ditches will result in the upward movement Of groundwater that would in turn serve to extend the hydroperiod and allow the growth and propagation of hydrophytic vegetation. Sediment and erosion control measures such as silt fence, straw wattles, rock silt screens and daily stabilization will be used to minimize impacts during construction.

Avoidance and Minimization 1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. We are applying for a Nationwide 27 permit. This permit authorizes impacts to jurisdictional waters for the purpose of conducting aquatic habitat restoration, establishment and enhancement activities. This project will provide wetland mitigation credits for impacts elsewhere within this 8 -digit HUC. The site offers an ideal opportunity to restore areas of impacted agricultural land to wetland habitat. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. In order to reestablish wetland hydrotogy throughout a much larger area drainage features (jurisdictional tributaries) will be filled. We anticipate that filling these ditches will result in the upward movement of groundwater that would in turn serve to extend the hydroperiod and allow the growth and propagation of hydrophytic vegetation. Sediment and erosion control measures such as silt fence, straw wattles, rock silt screens and daily stabilization will be used to minimize impacts during construction. 2.

These comments are attached for your review. Additionally, this letter provides a brief account of further review by the USACE, NCEEP, and the contracted provider, KCI Associates of North Carolina, PC. Based on our review of these comments, we have identified one major concern with the Draft Mitigation Plan. This issue stems from the allowance of ditches adjacent to the project to remain open and the credit generation of those areas affected by the ditch drainage. The USACE requested that those areas subject to the permanent drainage be removed from credit generation as restoration, due to the known drainage effect of the ditches. This issue was also present on another KCI project under portal review at the same time (Bear Basin). Based on the concern, and comments provided by the USACE/NCIRT during the portal review process (comments attached), KCI provided an email response and a request to meet and discuss justification for the proposed credit generation on those affected areas for both projects. Subsequently, a meeting was conducted on 27 June, 2013. The discussion included a review of modeling results for pre -and post - construction ditch effect, lack of existing groundwater hydrologic data, hydrologic inputs /exports of the sites, and potential for movement of ditches or ditch alterations. It was agreed upon that a "non- credit generating" buffer be placed along all the ditches that are to remain open. This buffer represents a zone of influence from the remaining ditches and will be at a distance somewhere between the ditch edge and the previously modeled results of effective drainage (0'- 76' for Twin Bays) that will result in zero credit generation. There will be a secondary zone that may result in generation of restoration credits. This zone will be determined by monitoring transects of wells and the resulting data supporting the presumption that the work conducted will have a mitigating effect on the influence of the remaining permanent ditches. Furthermore this area will be held to the stated performance standard for hydroperiod in the Draft Mitigation Plan (8% of the growing season). Please note that prior to finalizing the mitigation plan, we must approve the width of the zones discussed above. The resolution of these issues must be included in the Final Mitigation Plan. The Final Mitigation Plan is to be submitted with the Preconstruction Notification (PCN) Application for Nationwide permit approval of the project along with a copy of this letter and a summation of the addressed comments. If it is determined that the project does not require a Department of the Army permit, you must still provide a copy of the Final Mitigation Plan, along with a copy of this letter, to the appropriate USACE field office at least 30 days in advance of beginning construction of the project. Please note that this approval does not preclude the inclusion of permit conditions in the permit authorization for the project, particularly if issues mentioned above are not satisfactorily addressed. Additionally, this letter provides initial approval for the Mitigation Plan, but this does not guarantee that the project will generate the requested amount of mitigation credit. As you are aware, unforeseen issues may arise during construction or monitoring of the project that may require maintenance or reconstruction that may lead to reduced credit. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and if you have any questions regarding this letter, please call us at 919 - 846 -2564.

IRT Comments Comment #1 Eric Kulz, NCDWQ, 8 May, 2013: - The mitigation plan acknowledges that the ditch that is to remain open along the southern property boundary will have an effect on the hydrology of the site, but the various figures and wetland restoration totals do not take this effect into account. Some reduction of wetland credit is likely. The proposed placement of hydrology gauges should be adequate to determine this effect. Response: In response to this and other similar IRT comments below, a meeting was conducted with NC EEP and the ACOE to discuss the potential credit impacts associated with leaving approximately 850" of the southern ditch open (unfilled). KCI requested that the Corps allow monitoring results to elucidate the actual credit impact of the open ditch on the site. It is KCI's belief that while there would be a drainage influence associated with the ditch, it was likely that other modifications internal to the site may offset the drainage impacts associated with the ditch and allow for hydrologic performance standards to be achieved. For example, water that is currently being routed around the site in ditches would be directed through the site in the post - construction condition. That coupled with surface roughening techniques should serve to store more surface and shallow ground water and result in a lengthening of the hydroperiod throughout the site but especially near the low lying area adjacent to the southern ditch. While the Corps acknowledged this potential, they also expressed concern that they would be setting a double KCI ASSOCIATES OF NORTH CAROLINA, P.A. www.kci.com Employee -Owned Since 1988 standard by allowing KCI to claim that the ditches were effectively draining the site and impacting the jurisdictionality of wetlands, and then claiming that not filling the ditches would not have an effect on the success of the mitigation. As a result of the discussion, a compromise solution was discussed and later agreed to that would define a no- credit zone directly adjacent to the ditch and a second zone further from the ditch that would be monitored to determine the credit impact. The width of the no- credit zone and the monitoring zone would be based on the zone of effect determined by the Lateral Effect model (NCSU, 2011). Essentially the no- credit zone would be half of the lateral effect shown by the model. In the case of Twin Bays, the lateral effect was determined to be 76' so the no credit zone would be between 0' -38' from the edge of the ditch and the monitoring zone would extend from 38' to 76' from the ditch. The monitoring zone will be monitored using paired wells located at 40' and 75' from the edge of the ditch. A schematic showing the proposed well placement can be found on page 113 of the Final Mitigation Plan. Language in Sections 7.3 (Data Analysis) and 10.0 (Monitoring Requirements) was modified to address the comment above as it relates to the area adjacent to the southern ditch. Comment #2 T. Crumbley and T. Tugwell, USAGE, 4 June, 2013: - The goals and objectives for this project are specific, related, and appropriate for this site. Comment #3 T. Crumbley and T. Tugwell, USAGE, 4 June, 2013: - Please review the indicator statuses of red maple, tulip poplar and water oak in section 7.1 Pg 18 of the plan. Insert "live, planted stems" at 210 /acre and remove the word "mature" from the survivability discussion. Using the Atlantic and Gulf Coast 2013 Regional Wetland Plant List, KCI checked and corrected the indicator status of all trees and shrubs listed in Section 7.1. Also, all text corrections were made as per the comment above. Comment #4 T. Crumbley and T. Tugwell, USAGE, 4 June, 2013: - Sec. 7.3, Proposed Conditions: Please remove the area directly adjacent to open ditch ( -76' based on modeling) from the acreage calculation at south portion of the site. Move paired wells back to the edge of potential wetland (i.e. 75' from ditch). Refer to discussion on Comment #1. Comment #5 T. Crumbley and T. Tugwell, USAGE, 4 June, 2013: - Sec. 9.0 Vegetation Success, Criteria for meeting performance standards should also include the terms "live, planted stems" criteria for success. "Live, planted stems" terminology was inserted in the criteria for success. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like clarification concerning these responses.

The Twin Bays Wetland Restoration Site ( TBWRS) is a full - delivery mitigation project being developed for the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP). The TBWRS is former non - riparian wetland system in the Cape Fear Basin (03030007 8 -digit HUC) in southern Duplin County, North Carolina that has been substantially modified to maximize agricultural production. The site offers the chance to restore impacted agricultural lands to non - riparian wetland habitat. The Cape Fear River Basin Restoration Priorities state the goals for the TBWRS's 14 -digit HUC are to expand restoration opportunities and repair riparian buffers (NCDENR EEP, 2009). The project goals for TBWRS are in line with the basin priorities and include the following: - Slow and treat the runoff of upslope agricultural drainage - Restore a Hardwood Flats Community - Develop valuable wetland habitat niches within a drained agricultural landscape The project goals will be addressed through the following objectives: - Fill field ditches to restore surface flow retention and elevate local groundwater levels. - Redevelop longer wetland flow patterns to increase surface flow retention time. - Modify an existing pond to its natural seep condition to feed the downslope wetland. - Restore a native forested hardwood wetland community using natives trees and seed mixes. The site is located within a flat interstream divide that spans two unnamed tributaries to Rock Fish Creek and is currently used for agriculture. The majority of the site will be restored to non - riparian wetland with one smaller portion preserved as upland habitat. The ditches and ponds across the site will be filled and redeveloped to retain and distribute surface flow across the site. Once site grading is complete, the non - riparian communities will be planted as Hardwood Flats (NCWAM, v. 4.1 2010). The site will be monitored for seven years or until the success criteria are met.

RBRPs delineate specific watersheds that exhibit both the need and opportunity for wetland, stream and riparian buffer restoration. These watersheds are called Targeted Local Watersheds (TLWs) and receive priority for EEP planning and restoration project funds. The 2009 Cape Fear River Basin RBRP identified HUC 03030007090040 (Rock Fish Creek) as a Targeted Local Watershed (http: / /www.nceep. net / services /lwps/ cape_ fear/ RBRP%20Cape%20Fear%202008.pdf). The watershed is characterized by 43% forested and 42% agricultural area with impacts to streams including channelization and nonpoint source pollution. Rock Fish Creek was listed on the North Carolina 303(d) list in 2006, 2008, and 2010 for impaired biological integrity with the source of impairment undetermined; however, it is no longer listed in 2012. The Twin Bays Wetland Restoration Site ( TBWRS) Project was identified as a wetland opportunity to improve habitat within the TLW. The project goals address stressors identified in the TLW and include the following: - Slow and treat the runoff of upslope agricultural drainage - Restore a Hardwood Flats Community - Develop valuable wetland habitat niches within a drained agricultural landscape The project goals will be addressed through the following project objectives: - Fill field ditches to restore surface flow retention and elevate local groundwater levels. - Redevelop longer wetland flow patterns to increase surface flow retention time. - Modify an existing pond to its natural seep condition to feed the downslope wetland. - Restore a forested hardwood wetland community using native trees and seed mixes. 2.0 SITE SELECTION 2.1 Directions The TBWRS is located on a single parcel located off of Cornwallis Road approximately two miles northwest of Wallace, North Carolina. To reach the site from Raleigh: proceed east on 1 -40 for approximately 69 miles. Then travel on US -117 south toward Wallace. Turn right onto NC -41 South /East Main Street. Travel for two miles (East Main Street turns into West Main Street and then Wallace Highway). Next, take a slight right onto Cornwallis Road. The site will be approximately 0.5 mile ahead on the right. 2.2 Site Selection The site is part of the 03030007 USGS Cataloging Unit (Cape Fear). The Cape Fear River Basin as a whole is experiencing a large amount of habitat alteration due to population growth from Wilmington and its surrounding metropolitan area. As a result, the focus in this watershed is on mitigating impacts from stormwater and protecting and /or restoring existing habitat (NCDENR EEP, 2009). 1 Mitigation Plan Twin Bays Restoration Site The project site is bounded by Cornwallis Road to the west, a ditch along the property line to the south, and agricultural land to the east and north. The site has a long history of hydrologic modification in order to allow for farming to take place on the property. The existing site conditions are shown in Section 2.6 and seen in site photographs (Section 2.8). Within the 03030007 unit, the Rock Fish Creek drainage (03030007090040) remains relatively unaffected by urban development. The nearest named downstream water body is a reach of Rock Fish Creek (DWQ 18- 74 -29b), which is classified as Class C with the supplemental listing of Swamp Waters (Sw). Rock Fish Creek and its tributaries are not listed as impaired under the 2012 303(d) listing. However, less than 0.1% of the 14 -digit HUC is protected and approximately 42% of its land use is in agriculture (NCDENR EEP, 2009). The project watershed for the TBWRS is comprised of 25.4 total acres. Current land use in the project watershed consists of agriculture (23.6 ac /93 %), forest (0.6 ac /2 %), and low- intensity development (1.2 ac /5 %). The approximate total impervious cover of the project watershed is 2.0 %. Historic aerials from Duplin County were examined for any information about how the site hydrology and vegetation have changed over the last century. They were obtained from the USGS Earth Explorer, USDA NAIP, and NC OneMap for 1950, 1959, 1974, 1982, 1993, 1998, 2005, and 2010. The reviewed aerials are found in Section 2.7. The first aerial photo from 1950 shows that a small portion of the site may have been forested at this time, but this changed by 1959, when the majority of the site is cleared and a ditch is visible running west to east through the center of the site. The site remained relatively unchanged through 1974, although a dark signature of either vegetation or wetted land appears in the middle of the site. In 1993, additional ditches have been installed that drain the site from the north to the south. The land cover remains in agriculture currently. The surrounding area is rural with low development pressure at this time. These land use trends indicated that restoring this property back to a forested wetland will provide an important habitat enhancement in the watershed. The site lies within the Carolina Flatwoods (Level IV 63h) ecoregion of the Coastal Plain physiographic province. This low- gradient region generally has fine -loamy and coarse -loamy soils with high water tables. The geology at the site is classified as part of the Peedee Formation, which has sand, clayey sand, and clay with patches of limestone in the upper portions. The soils at the site were also examined for their wetland potential. The Soil Survey of Duplin County has the TBWRS mapped as the Rains fine sandy loam soils series. A detailed investigation confirmed that the Rains series occupies the majority of the site, particularly around the perimeter, but also determined that the central portion of the site contains Torhunta soils. The Rains series is described as a poorly drained soil located on flats or broad interstream divides on marine terraces. Similarly, the Torhunta series is a very poorly drained soil found on flats on marine terraces or depressions on stream terraces. There is also a small inclusion of a Murville /Leon complex in the southwestern corner and an area of Udorthents along the ponded seeps in the north - central wooded section of the site. The northeastern corner of the TBWRS has a small area of Goldsboro. With the exception of the Goldsboro soil, all of the mapped soils at the TBWRS site are hydric soils that have been drained through on -site ditching. The soil data sheets and a map of the soil borings are included in Appendix C. Based on these watershed and site - specific attributes, the TBWRS was selected as an ideal candidate for wetland mitigation. The restored site will expand forested wetland habitat in an area that has been actively used for agriculture since at least 1950. 2 Mitigation Plan 2.3 Vicinity Map Twin Bays Restoration Site 3 WAYN E LE N OIR rFta gem DONE S SAMPSON DUPLN ON SLOW ' o� RQM L OR N RS PENDER Charity Rd m a a MURPHY FARMS T ti w a E jka m V a� A Rv TEWH EY 4' r SAFE FIELD$ a oa O L x W r Rd a - HENDERSON �y FIELD yeb f` Rv vi F�"acRd � U °' 11 a G.� ° � m a 00P Qa Peram RD °c c i° NIATNA PROJECT SITE VICINITY MAP N o.s o TWIN BAYS RESTORATION SITE M�' DUPLIN COUNTY, NC 3 Mitigation Plan 2.4 Watershed Map Twin Bays Restoration Site - I � I ROSE HILL QUAD 'Yell + r F J1J -..ter -'7'' _ — �_ 6 F r ^ '� • 't��t, � I a�1 aYl ��� a • 4 11 .

The Cape Fear River Basin as a whole is experiencing a large amount of habitat alteration due to population growth from Wilmington and its surrounding metropolitan area. According to 1996 land cover data from the North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (CGIA), only 3% of the Cape Fear River Basin is developed, but the area is expected to continue to grow. The predominant land uses are 48% forest and 14% agriculture. The project watershed for the TBWRS is comprised of 25.4 total acres. Current land use in the project watershed consists of agriculture (23.6 ac /93 %), forest (0.6 ac /2 %), and low- intensity development (1.2 ac /5 %). The approximate total impervious cover of the project watershed is 2.0 %. The nearest named downstream water body is a reach of Rock Fish Creek. The project area is located in the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Rose Hill and Wallace West Quadrangles (1984). 4.2 Reach Summary Information Not applicable for this project. 4.3 Wetland Summary Information Currently, there are no existing wetlands present. The wetland data forms are included in Appendix B. Based on field topographic survey data and LIDAR elevation data, the contours at the site range from 60 — 64 feet. The topography of the site begins with the higher elevations at the northern edge of the site, which is the top of the small project watershed. The highest elevations curve around the two existing forested portions in the north - central and northwestern portions of the site. The drained hydric soils at the site experience approximately a 2' change in elevation as the slope grades down slightly toward the southern end of the site. A jurisdictional determination delineation was completed in which the ditch network installed at the site was identified as jurisdictional tributaries (see Appendix B for jurisdictional determination plat). The ditch network consists of channels that generally drain the site from the north to the south. Three primary ditches carry water from the northern edge of the site toward the center of the project and all discharge into a main ditch that runs west to east across the extent of the site. A small portion of runoff is collected from Cornwallis Road. The central ditch then discharges into another ditch running north to south. This southeastern ditch flows into an off -site ditch running west to east along the southern property line. In addition to the modifications made to the site with ditching, the TBWRS also contains a small pond in the north - central wooded portion of the site. A past landowner created a pond berm to capture flow from two seeps to the north. This pond is hindering the dispersal of seepage flow across the site to the south. Existing vegetation around the pond and in isolated sections along the ditches includes laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), red bay (Persea borbonia), sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana), and giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea). 13 Mitigation Plan 4.4 Regulatory Considerations Twin Bays Restoration Site A jurisdictional determination was submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers on October 9, 2012 and approved on October 30, 2012. Following the completion of the mitigation plan, a pre- construction notification (PCN) will be completed to apply for a Nationwide 27 Permit (NWP) to comply with Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act with the Wilmington District of the US Army Corps of Engineers and the NCDENR Division of Water Quality. TBWRS is not located within the FEMA 100 -year floodplain and therefore a flood study is not anticipated for this project. 14 Mitigation Plan 5.0 DETERMINATION OF CREDITS Twin Bays Restoration Site Twin Bays Restoration Site, Duplin County Mitigation Credits Nitrogen Phosphorous Riparian Non - riparian Stream Buffer Nutrient Nutrient Wetland Wetland Offset Offset Type R RE R RE R RE Acres 10.6 Credits 10.6 TOTAL CREDITS 10.6 Project Components Project Restoration Component Stationing/ Existing Approach -or- Restoration Mitigation Footage/ Footage -or- Location (PI, PH etc.) Restoration Ratio Reach ID Acreage Equivalent or Acreage Central and Southern portion Wetland Area 1 of project 10.6 acres Restoration 10.6 acres 1:1 easement Component Summation Buffer Restoration Stream Riparian Wetland Non - riparian Wetland Upland (square Level (linear feet) (acres) (acres) (acres) feet) Non - Riverine Riverine Restoration 10.6 acres Enhancement Enhancement I Enhancement 11 Creation Preservation 0.4 acre High Quality Preservation TOTAL 10.6 acres* 0.4 acre R= Restoration RE= Restoration Equivalent of Creation or Enhancement *Additional 0.2 acre is under the utility easement and not included in the determination of credits. 15 Mitigation Plan 6.0 CREDIT RELEASE SCHEDULE Twin Bays Restoration Site All credit releases will be based on the total credit generated as reported by the as -built survey of the mitigation site. Under no circumstances shall any mitigation project be debited until the necessary DA authorization has been received for its construction or the District Engineer (DE) has otherwise provided written approval for the project in the case where no DA authorization is required for construction of the mitigation project. The DE, in consultation with the Interagency Review Team (IRT), will determine if performance standards have been satisfied sufficiently to meet the requirements of the release schedules below. In cases where some performance standards have not been met, credits may still be released depending on the specifics of the case. Monitoring may be required to restart or be extended, depending on the extent to which the site fails to meet the specified performance standard. The release of project credits will be subject to the criteria described as follows: Forested Wetlands Credits Monitoring Interim Total Credit Release Activity Year Release Released 0 Initial Allocation — see requirements below 30% 30% 1 First year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 40% standards are being met 2 Second year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 50% standards are being met 3 Third year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 60% standards are being met 4 Fourth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 70% standards are being met 5 Fifth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 80% standards are being met; Provided that all performance standards are met, the IRT may allow the NCEEP to discontinue hydrologic monitoring after the fifth year, but vegetation monitoring must continue for an additional two years after the fifth year for a total of seven years. 6 Sixth year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 90% standards are being met 7 Seventh year monitoring report demonstrates performance 10% 100% standards are being met, and project has received close -out approval Initial Allocation of Released Credits The initial allocation of released credits, as specified in the mitigation plan can be released by the NCEEP without prior written approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities: - Approval of the final Mitigation Plan - Recordation of the preservation mechanism, as well as a title opinion acceptable to the USACE covering the property - Completion of project construction (the initial physical and biological improvements to the mitigation site) pursuant to the mitigation plan; Per the NCEEP Instrument, construction means that a mitigation site has been constructed in its entirety, to include planting, and an as -built report has been produced. As -built reports must be sealed by an engineer prior to project closeout, if appropriate but not prior to the initial allocation of released credits. S., Mitigation Plan Twin Bays Restoration Site - Receipt of necessary DA permit authorization or written DA approval for projects where DA permit issuance is not required. Subsequent Credit Releases All subsequent credit releases must be approved by the DE, in consultation with the IRT, based on a determination that required performance standards have been achieved. For stream projects a reserve of 15% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after two bank -full events have occurred, in separate years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event that less than two bank -full events occur during the monitoring period, release of these reserve credits shall be at the discretion of the IRT. As projects approach milestones associated with credit release, the NCEEP will submit a request for credit release to the DE along with documentation substantiating achievement of criteria required for release to occur. This documentation will be included with the annual monitoring report. 17 Mitigation Plan Twin Bays Restoration Site 7.0 MITIGATION WORK PLAN 7.1 Target Wetland Types and Plant Communities Wetland plantings shall consist of native species commonly found in the Hardwood Flats Community (NCWAM, v. 4.1 2010). Trees and shrubs will be planted at a density of 968 stems per acre (9 feet x 5 feet spacing) to achieve a survivability of two hundred sixty (210) live planted stems per acre after seven years. Woody vegetation planting will be conducted during dormancy. Species to be planted may consist of the following consistent with a hardwood flat (NCWAM, v. 4.12010): Common Name Red maple Red chokeberry Tulip poplar Sweetbay Swamp red bay Swamp chestnut oak Water oak Cherrybark oak American elm Highbush blueberry Scientific Name Wetland Indicator Acer rubrum FAC Aronia arbutifolia FACW Liriodendron tulipifera FACU Magnolia virginiana FACW Persea palustris FACW Quercus michauxii FACW Quercus nigra FAC Quercus pagoda FACW Ulmus americana FAC Vaccinium corymbosum FACW A herbaceous seed mix composed of appropriate native species will also be developed and used to further stabilize and restore the wetland. All of the above options will be marked and surveyed as per EEP's requirements contained within http: / /portal.ncdenr.org /web /eep /fd- forms - templates. In addition, the easement boundaries will be marked with salt- treated wooden posts placed approximately 100 feet apart. Each line post will be marked with a conservation easement placard. Corner posts will be marked with signs stating "Conservation Easement Corner." 7.2 Design Parameters The mitigation approach for the TBWRS will aim to restore the hydrology and vegetation components to this non - riparian wetland system. The available historic data, detailed soils mapping, and topographic and geographic positions suggest that a hardwood flat used to exist at the TBWRS (NCWAM, v. 4.1 2010). The site will be restored to a condition that resembles the former wetland community. A local comparable reference wetland system was identified approximately 0.5 mile north of the restoration site and was used to aid in design of a wetland community most suited to the area. Please see the mitigation overview in Section 7.4 and the wetland plans included in Appendix D. The following elements of functional uplift are expected from this project: 1. Increase in groundwater recharge 2. Increase in sediment trapping and filtration 3. Increase in carbon storage 4. Increase in biochemical cycling of nutrients and other pollutants 5. Increase in habitat utilization by wildlife (migrants and residents) 6. Increase in landscape patch structure 18 Mitigation Plan Twin Bays Restoration Site Non - Riparian Wetland Restoration —10.6 acres All of the existing drained hydric soils will be restored to a non - riparian wetland system. The primary restoration action will be to fill the existing ditches across the site in order to restore hydrology. Clay ditch plugs will be installed along the lengths of the ditches. Existing spoil will be used as available to fill the remainder of the ditches. The primary receiving ditch, which runs west to east, will remain open. Detailed topographic survey will be used to design slight grading modifications to redirect and lengthen overland flow paths in order to retain and treat surface hydrology longer. Surface roughness variations will also be enhanced in areas where the years of agricultural production have overly compacted the soil. The small wooded section with ponded seeps in the north - central portion of the site will also be restored. The deep portions of pond will be filled in to recreate ephemeral ponding conditions and the berms will be selectively breached, allowing the seeps that feed the ephemeral pond to flow into the downslope wetlands, while still maintaining existing mature trees that have grown up in this area. Following the completion of site grading, the non - riparian wetland will be planted as a Hardwood Flats Community as described in Section 7.1. Proposed project conditions are shown in Section 7.4. Upland Preservation — 0.4 acre There are 0.4 acres of uplands located in the forested northeastern corner of the project boundary. This area will remain undisturbed and will be included in the TBWRS conservation easement. Once the grading is completed, the unvegetated portion of this upland area will be planted as a Hardwood Flats Community as described in Section 7.1. Reference Wetland A suitable reference wetland was found approximately 0.5 mile north of the TBWRS. The reference wetland is comprised of deciduous hardwoods over a shrub layer with broad - leaved evergreens and is consistent with the Hardwood Flats Community that will be the primary wetland type at the project site. A groundwater monitoring well has been installed to document the reference wetland hydrology during the course of monitoring. 7.3 Data Analysis The numerous modifications to the hydrology of the TBWRS have effectively drained the historic wetlands on -site. The development of a network of field ditches has significantly altered the retention of surface hydrology in these areas. The pre and post- restoration effects of ditching on wetland hydrology was evaluated using a hydrologic budget for the site (see Appendix C). Existing Conditions Existing site hydrology was modeled by developing an annual water budget that calculates hydrologic inputs and outputs in order to calculate the change in storage on a monthly time step. In order to set up the water budget, historic climatic data were obtained from the North Carolina State Climatic Office. The weather station in Maysville, North Carolina was used, which is the closest station with the longest period of record and is approximately 46 miles to the northeast of TBWRS. Monthly precipitation totals from the entire period of record (1945 -2011) were reviewed and three years were selected to represent a range of precipitation conditions: dry year (1990), average year (1973), and wet year (1991). Potential inputs to the water budget include precipitation, groundwater, and surface inputs. For precipitation, the data from the three selected years were used in the budget. Groundwater inputs likely 19 Mitigation Plan Twin Bays Restoration Site exist, particularly in the upper portions of the site, but they were considered to be negligible to be conservative for the purposes of this study. Surface water input was calculated using the USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS) runoff curve number equation (USDA, SCS 1986). Outputs from the site include potential evapotranspiration (PET), groundwater, and surface water diversion. PET was calculated by the Thornthwaite method using mean monthly temperatures determined from the chosen years of record: 1990, 1973, and 1991. Surface water was assumed entirely lost since there is no surface storage in the existing conditions model. Once the inputs and outputs were determined, a net monthly total was calculated in inches and used to estimate a yearly water budget. The model assumes unsaturated conditions at the beginning of the year. Because the TBWRS consisted of two separate soils (Rains and Torhunta), two models were used for the water budget. A maximum wetland water volume of 5.4 inches was calculated based on the specific yield of 0.15 for 36 inches of Rains soil and a maximum wetland water volume of 4.68 inches was calculated based on the specific yield of 0.13 for 36 inches of Torhunta soil. The resulting hydrographs for the average and wet years show a seasonal pattern. The model shows that the majority of hydrologic inputs to the site come during the rainy spring months for the average year and during both the spring months and late summer /early fall for the wet year. The site begins to lose saturation in the upper twelve inches in the late spring and early summer months for both years. However, after late spring, the wet year shows an increase in hydrologic inputs that continues through the summer months and then decreases in fall. The average year does not see an increase in hydrologic inputs until the late fall. The dry year shows very little hydrology overall. It is clear from the existing model output that the deep ditches within the site are exerting a larger influence on the site's storage capacity than the water budget is accurately able to predict. The site is currently not achieving the wetland hydrology that the model predicts. Proposed Conditions A modified water budget was developed to analyze the effect of mitigation actions described in Section 7.2 on the site hydrology. Two models were used for the proposed conditions water budget to account for both soil types observed in TBWRS. To estimate the impact from surface roughening, an additional 2.4 inches of hydrologic capacity was added to the calculations to represent surface roughness. All surface flow is assumed to be retained in the proposed condition, because it will no longer be immediately routed off the site. Based on these changes, the budget shows the site potentially attaining jurisdictional wetland hydrology in portions of the spring and summer for the average and wet years when compared to the existing conditions. The dry year remains relatively unchanged from the pre - construction condition, indicating that the site's wetland hydrology may be susceptible to drought conditions. The southernmost ditch, adjacent to the restoration area, will be left open and not filled. It is anticipated that leaving this ditch open will have minimal impacts to the overall hydrologic performance of the site. The hydrologic influence of this ditch was modeled using Lateral Effect, a software program that determines the lateral effect of a drainage ditch or borrow pit on adjacent wetland hydrology (NCSU BAE, 2011). This software determined that the potential horizontal drainage influence averages 76'. Due to the fact that the southern ditch cannot be filled because of the potential for hydrologic trespass, the area immediately adjacent to the ditch will not be a credit generating part of the site. It is assumed that with the other site modifications, such as filling ditches and surface roughening, the entire site will have more surface and groundwater, which may decrease the effect of the ditch. For this reason the non- credit generating portion of the site will be half of the zone of influence for the ditch. 20 Mitigation Plan 7.4 Proposed Mitigation Plan View OP 4 4 Twin Bays Restoration Site r. t , Non - Riparian Wetland Restoration (10.6 aci Upland Preservation (0.4 ac) Proposed Easement Area (11.7 ac) XXXDitches to be filled = Utility Easement (0.2 ac) PROJECT SITE PROPOSED MITIGATION PLAN VIEW Solrc NCState.,de ioo 50 0 TWIN BAYS RESTORATION SITE mayery,zo10 DUPLIN COUNTY, NC 21 X X �.ki l .

These site inspections may identify site components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site construction and may include the following: Component /Feature Maintenance Through Project Close -Out Routine wetland maintenance and repair activities may include securing of loose coir Wetland matting and supplemental installations of live stakes and other target vegetation within the wetland. Areas where stormwater and floodplain flows intercept the wetland may also require maintenance to prevent scour. Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include Vegetation supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be controlled by mechanical and /or chemical methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, Site Boundary bollard, post, tree - blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and /or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and /or replaced on an as needed basis. Additionally, a utility right of way exists adjacent to the restored wetland, but because there is no creditable acreage within this right of way, it is not expected that the utility maintenance will affect the restored wetland. 22 Mitigation Plan 9.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Twin Bays Restoration Site The TBWRS will be monitored to determine if the development of the wetland indicators on site meet the standards for mitigation credit production as presented in Section 5.0. The credits will be validated upon confirmation that the success criteria described below are met. The site will be monitored for performance standards for seven years after completion of construction. Hydrologic Performance Verification of hydrologic performance standards within the wetland mitigation area will be determined through evaluation of automatic recording well data supplemented by documentation of wetland hydrology indicators as defined in the 1987 US ACOE Wetland Delineation Manual (Manual). Fourteen automatic recording gauges will be established within the restoration area of the site. To meet success criteria, the upper 12 inches of the soil profile will display continuously saturated or inundated conditions for at least 8% of the growing season with a 50% probability of reoccurrence during normal weather conditions. A "normal" year is based on NRCS climatological data for Duplin County using the 30th to 70th percentile thresholds as the range of normal as documented in the USACE Technical Report "Accessing and Using Meteorological Data to Evaluate Wetland Hydrology, April 2000." The soil survey for Duplin County does not contain growing season data; therefore, due to its close proximity, the Sampson County soil survey was used. The estimated growing season begins March 18 and ends November 11 (239 days). KCI will monitor soil temperature to verify that the local growing season is consistent with the NRCS published data and reserves the right to present this information as a modifier to the number of days saturation is required to achieve jurisdictional status. Due to the inherent variability in the sites soils and associated drainage characteristics, it is unlikely that the project will exhibit uniform hydrologic conditions across the site, making a single hydrologic performance criterion unrepresentative of the sites performance. As such, the gauge data can be evaluated and presented as a spatial average with each gauge representing the area half the distance to adjacent gauges. The spatial average will be the calculated value for comparison with the performance standard for credit validation. Gauges representing areas not achieving a minimum of 6.5% saturation will be considered non - attaining even if the spatial average exceeds the credit validation performance standard. Vegetation Success The vegetation success criteria will comply with guidance included in "Monitoring Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and /or Wetland Mitigation" (NCDENR EEP, 2011), which states that the plots must achieve a stem density of 320 live, planted stems /acre after three years, 260 live, planted stems /acre after five years, and 210 live, planted stems /acre after seven years to be considered successful. In addition to density requirements, plant height will be monitored within the monitoring plots to ensure that trees average 10 feet in height after seven years. 23 Mitigation Plan 10.0 MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Twin Bays Restoration Site Annual monitoring data will be reported using the EEP monitoring template. The monitoring report shall provide a project data chronology that will facilitate an understanding of project status and trends, population of EEP databases for analysis, research purposes, and assist in decision making regarding project close -out. Required Parameter Quantity Frequency Notes Yes Groundwater 6 gauges distributed Annual Groundwater monitoring gauges with data Hydrology throughout the restored recording devices will be installed on site; wetland and an additional 8 the data will be downloaded on a monthly gauges to determine the basis during the growing season effect of the open ditch Yes Vegetation Will be distributed to During Vegetation will be monitored using the ensure sufficient coverage monitoring Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) protocols of planted vegetation years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Yes Exotic and Annual Locations of exotic and nuisance vegetation nuisance will be mapped vegetation Yes Project Semi - annual Locations of vegetation damage, boundary boundary encroachments, etc. will be mapped The first scheduled monitoring will be conducted during the first full growing season following project completion. Monitoring shall subsequently be conducted annually for a total period of seven years or until the project meets its success criteria. Groundwater elevations will be monitored to evaluate the attainment of jurisdictional wetland hydrology. Verification of wetland hydrology will be determined by automatic recording well data collected within the project area and reference wetland. Six automatic recording gauges will be established within the mitigation areas. Daily data will be collected from the automatic gauges for a minimum of a 5 -year monitoring period following wetland construction. A nearby reference wetland will also be monitored using the same procedures for comparative analysis (see Appendix B for reference wetland data sheet and location map). Additionally, to monitor the effect of the unfilled ditch described in Section 7.3, four sets of coupled gauges will be established perpendicular to the unfilled ditch. Each set will include a well that is 40' from the open ditch and one that is 75' from the ditch. Beginning at the end of the first growing season, KCI will monitor the planted vegetation in monitoring years 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 or until the success criterion is met. The survivability of the vegetation plantings will be evaluated using a sufficient number of 100 mZ vegetative sampling plots randomly placed throughout the restored wetland. Permanent monuments will be established at the corners of each monitoring plot and documented by either conventional survey or GPS. These plots will be monitored according to the current CVS /EEP monitoring protocol. The vegetation monitoring will follow the Level 2 method of the current CVS -EEP protocol ( http: / /cvs.bio.unc.edu /methods.htm). Photograph reference points (PRPs) will be established to assist in characterizing the site and to allow qualitative evaluation of the site conditions. The location of each photo point will be marked in the monitoring plan and the bearing /orientation of the photograph will be documented. 24 Mitigation Plan Twin Bays Restoration Site Annual monitoring reports will be prepared and submitted after all monitoring tasks for each year are completed. The report will document the monitored components and include all collected data, analyses, and photographs. Each report will provide the new monitoring data and compare the most recent results against previous findings. The monitoring report format will be similar to that set out in the most recent EEP monitoring protocol. 11.0 LONG -TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN Upon approval for close -out by the Interagency Review Team (IRT), the site will be transferred to the NCDENR Division of Natural Resource Planning and Conservation's Stewardship Program. This party shall be responsible for periodic inspection of the site to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Endowment funds required to uphold easement and deed restrictions shall be negotiated prior to site transfer to the responsible party. The NCDENR Division of Natural Resource Planning and Conservation's Stewardship Program currently houses EEP stewardship endowments within the non - reverting, interest - bearing Conservation Lands Stewardship Endowment Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account is governed by North Carolina General Statute GS 113A- 232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund may be used only for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction costs, if applicable. The NCDENR Stewardship Program intends to manage the account as a non - wasting endowment. Only interest generated from the endowment funds will be used to steward the compensatory mitigation sites. Interest funds not used for those purposes will be re- invested in the Endowment Account to offset losses due to inflation. 12.0 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN Upon completion of site construction KCI will implement the post- construction monitoring protocols previously defined in this document. Project maintenance will be performed as described previously in this document. If, during the course of annual monitoring it is determined the site's ability to achieve site performance standards are jeopardized, KCI will notify the EEP and the USACE of the need to develop a Plan of Corrective Action. The Plan of Corrective Action may be prepared using in -house technical staff or may require engineering and consulting services. Once the Corrective Action Plan is prepared and finalized KCI will: 1. Notify the EEP and USACE as required by the Nationwide 27 permit general conditions. 2. Revise performance standards, maintenance requirements, and monitoring requirements as necessary and /or required by the USACE. 3. Obtain other permits as necessary. 4.

This document shall depict the extent and nature of the work performed. 25 Mitigation Plan 13.0 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES Twin Bays Restoration Site Pursuant to Section IV H and Appendix III of the Ecosystem Enhancement Program's In -Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has provided the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District with a formal commitment to fund projects to satisfy mitigation requirements assumed by EEP. This commitment provides financial assurance for all mitigation projects implemented by the program. 14.0 OTHER INFORMATION 14.1 Definitions 8 -digit Catalog Unit (CU) —The USGS developed a hydrologic coding system to delineate the country into uniquely identified watersheds that can be commonly referenced and mapped. North Carolina has 54 of these watersheds uniquely defined by an 8 -digit number. EEP typically addresses watershed — based planning and restoration in the context of the 17 river basins (each has a unique 6 -digit number), 54 catalog units and 1,601 14 -digit hydrologic units. 14 —digit Hydrologic Unit (HU) — In order to address watershed management issues at a smaller scale, the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) developed methodology to delineate and uniquely identify watersheds at a scale smaller than the 8 -digit catalog unit. A hydrologic unit is a drainage area delineated to nest in a multilevel, hierarchical drainage system. Its boundaries are defined by hydrographic and topographic criteria that delineate an area of land upstream from a specific point on a river, stream or similar surface waters. North Carolina has 1,601 14 -digit hydrologic units. DWQ— North Carolina Division of Water Quality EEP — The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement combines existing wetlands restoration initiatives (formerly the Wetlands Restoration Program or NCWRP) of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources with ongoing efforts by the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to offset unavoidable environmental impacts from transportation- infrastructure improvements. Native vegetation community — a distinct and reoccurring assemblage of populations of plants, animals, bacteria and fungi naturally associated with each other and their population; as described in Schafale, M.P. and Weakley, A. S. (1990), Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina, Third Approximation. Project Area - includes all protected lands associated with the mitigation project. RBRP - The River Basin Restoration Priorities are documents that delineate specific watersheds (Targeted Local Watersheds) within a River Basin that exhibit both the need and opportunity for wetland, stream and riparian buffer restoration. TLW - Targeted Local Watershed, are 14 -digit hydrologic units which receive priority for EEP planning and restoration project funds.

The investigation consisted of delineating the hydric soil boundaries with pink flagging and wooden survey stakes in accordance with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Wetland Delineation Manual (1987) and the USDA Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States: A Guide for Identifying and Delineating Hydric Soils, Version 7.0 (2010). Areas that were identified as possible hydric soil mapping units were surveyed at a higher intensity until the edge of the mapping unit was identified. The boundary of the hydric and non - hydric soil mapping units were then followed by continual sampling and observations as the boundary line was identified and delineated. In those areas where the boundary was found to be a broad gradient rather than a distinct break, microtopography, landscape position, soil textural changes, redoximorphic features, and depleted matrices were additionally considered to identify the extent of the hydric soils. In developing a detailed soils map, several soil borings were advanced on the site in the general hydric soil areas identified by landscape position, vegetation and slope. Once the hydric soil borings were identified, the soil scientist marked the points and established a visual line to the next auger boring where again hydric soil conditions were confirmed by additional borings. The soil scientist moved along the edges of the mapping unit and marked each point along the line. To confirm the hydric soil mapping unit and taxonomic classification, soil borings were advanced to a depth of 50 inches. The soil profile descriptions identified the individual horizons in the topsoil and upper subsoil as well as the depth, color, texture, structure, boundary, and evidence of restrictive horizons and redoximorphic features. Delineated hydric soils boundaries were in contrast to those mapped in the Soil Survey of Duplin County, North Carolina. The delineated hydric soil boundaries are shown in the following figure, Detailed Soils Map. Taxonomic Classification The predominant soils identified on the site were of the Rains (Fine - loamy, siliceous, semiactive, thermic Typic Paleaquults) soil series and the Torhunta (Coarse - loamy, siliceous, active, acid, thermic Typic Humaquepts) soil series. Inclusions of other soil series include Murville /Leon complex (Sandy, siliceous, thermic Umbric Endoaquods), Udorthents, Goldsboro (Fine - loamy, siliceous, subactive, thermic Aquic Paleudults). The Rains and Torhunta series are listed as hydric soils in Duplin County, North Carolina. They are defined as hydric due to saturation for a significant period during the growing season. These two soils are listed as hydric on the federal, state and local lists. The Rains and Torhunta series are also listed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) as hydric soils. Profile Description The Rains series is described as very deep, poorly drained, moderately permeable soils typically found on flats and in depressions throughout the Coastal Plain. They are formed in loamy sediments with slopes ranging from 0 to 2 percent. The Torhunta series is described as very poorly drained soils that formed in upland bays and on stream terraces in the Coastal Plain. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent. 101 Typical Pedon Description of the Rains mapping unit: RAINS SERIES TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine - loamy, siliceous, semiactive, thermic Typic Paleaquults TYPICAL PEDON: Rains loamy sand -- forested.

INSTALL ROCK SILT SCREENS AT OUTLET STABILIZATION STRUCTURES. v. SEED AND MULCH COMPLETED WORKAREAS. THIS SHALL BE DONE WITHIN 72 HOURS OF REACHING FINAL GRADE WHEN FILLING DITCHES /PONDS /DEPRESSIONS AND MAY OCCUR PRIOR TO PHASE 2.A.iii. B. SURFACE ROUGHENING I- BEGINNING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE WETLAND RESTORATION AREA AND PROGRESSING TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE SITE, ROUGHEN THE SOIL TO AN APPROXIMATE DEPTH OF 8" TO ALLEVIATE COMPACTION AND MIMIC NATURAL WETLAND MICROTOPOGRAPHY. THIS WILL INCREASE THE STORAGE OF SURFACE WATER IN THE WETLAND AND PROMOTE VEGETATION ESTABLISHMENT. ii. SEED AND MULCH COMPLETED WORK AREAS. THIS SHALL BE DONE WITHIN 72 HOURS OF SURFACE ROUGHENING. PHASE 3: TREE PLANTING A. PLANTS SHOULD BE PLANTED DURING THE DORMANT SEASON (NOVEMBER 17 - MARCH 17). B. PREPARE AND PLANT TREES IN ACCORDANCE WITH PLAN SHEETS 7 -10 AND AS DIRECTED BY THE DESIGNER. PHASE 4: COMPLETION OF PROJECT SITE A. PHASE 4 CAN BE INITIATED AFTER THE WETLAND GRADING WORK IS COMPLETED, AFTER THE SITE IS STABLIZED WITH REQUIRED VEGETATIVE COVER, AND PRIOR TO PHASE 3. B. REMOVE ALL REMAINING WASTE MATERIALS, AND THE EROSION CONTROL MEASURES AND RESTORE THE REMAINING STAGING AND STOCKPILING AREAS AND CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES TO THEIR PRIOR CONDITION. SEED AND MULCH ALL DISTURBED AREAS UTILIZING THE SEED /MULCH MIXES SPECIFIED IN THE PLANS. RAIN GAUGE MUST BE PRESENT AT SITE.
