This Continuation is executed upon the express condition that the Surety's liability shall not be cumulative and shall be limited at all times by the amount of the penalty stated in the bond. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Surety has caused this instrument to be signed by its duly authorized Attorney -in -Fact and its corporate seal to be hereto affixed this TBD day of TBD, 2021. Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America Surety , Attorney -in -Fact McGriff 4309 Emperor Blvd., Ste. 300 Durham, NC 27703 Brushy Mountain: Year 3 (2021) Monitoring Summary General Notes • No encroachment was identified in Year 3 • No evidence of nuisance animal activity (i.e., beaver, heavy deer browsing, etc.) was observed. Streams • Stream monitoring measurements indicate minimal changes in the cross sections as compared to as -built data. The channel geometry compares favorably with the proposed conditions outlined in the Detailed Restoration Plan and as constructed. • Across the Site, all in -stream structures are intact and functioning as designed. No stream areas of concern were identified during year 3 (2021) monitoring. Tables for year 3 (2021) data and annual quantitative assessments are included in Appendix C. • Three bankfull events were documented during year 3 (2021) monitoring for a total of 11 bankfull events to -date during the monitoring period (Table 16, Appendix D). • Channel formation was evident in UT 3 and UT 4 in year 3 (2021). The two streamflow gauges and trail cameras on UT 3 recorded 208 and 144 consecutive streamflow days during year 3 (2021). The two streamflow gauges and trail cameras on UT 4 recorded 184 and 241 consecutive streamflow days during year 3 (2021). • A tributary that was deemed non -jurisdictional during Site permitting exhibits near perennial conditions during construction. This tributary was allowed to naturally form and stabilized as needed with material from the Site. The feature (now referenced as UT-5) continues to exhibit near -continuous flow, provides high stream/aquatic function, and remains stable. Wetlands • All fourteen groundwater gauges were successful in year 3 (2021). Gauge-14 malfunctioned early in the growing season due to an error in deploying the logger. All gauges have been replaced and with Onset U20-001-04 models due to previous failures of Onset MX-2001 loggers during previous monitoring years. The barometer for post processing of groundwater data is located at the rain gauge. Groundwater hydrology data is included in Appendix D. Vegetation • Year 3 (2021) CVS measurements were performed on July 28, 2021 and indicate an average of 604 planted stems per acre (excluding live -stakes) across the Site; therefore, the Site meets vegetation success criteria. Additionally, all 16 individual vegetation plots met success criteria based on planted stems alone. Additionally, three random vegetation transects were measured during year 3 (2021). All three transects met success criteria with an average of 648 planted stems per acre (Table 10, Appendix C). Year 3 (2021) vegetation plot information can be found in Appendix C and plot locations are depicted on Figure 2 (Appendix A). • Additional live -stake planting (as discussed with and approved by the USACE PM Steve Kichefski in 2019) was completed in December of 2019. Documentation submitted to Steve Kichefski in December of 2019 is included in Appendix G. 2021 (MY3) Annual Monitoring Report Executive Summary, Page i Brushy Mountain Mitigation Bank Site Restoration Systems, LLC Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank A summary of Site permitting/monitoring activity, reporting history, and year 3 (2021) maintenance activities, including invasive plant species treatment, is provided below.

Implementation of the Site's Detailed Mitigation Plan concluding in May 2019. This Monitoring Report summarizes the year 3 (2021) monitoring and maintenance efforts. 1.1 Project Background The Site encompasses a 23.29-acre easement along warm water tributaries to Arnold Branch. The Site is located approximately three miles south of Elkin, southwest of NC Highway 21 and Interstate 77 in Yadkin County (Figure 1, Appendix A). Before construction, Site land use consisted of agricultural land used for livestock grazing. Livestock had unrestricted access to Site streams, which had been dredged and straightened, rerouted to the edge of the floodplain, accessed/trampled by livestock, downcutting, and eroding vertically and laterally, and received extensive sediment and nutrient inputs. Further, stream -side wetlands/hydric soils were impacted by stream relocation, channel entrenchment, drain tile, ditching, compaction due to hoof shear and agricultural equipment, and removal of native, woody vegetation. Preconstruction Site conditions resulted in degraded water quality, a loss of aquatic habitat, reduced nutrient/sediment retention, and unstable channel characteristics — a loss of horizontal flow vectors that maintain pools and increased erosive forces to channel bed and banks. 1.2 Project Goals & Objectives Site -specific mitigation goals were determined using functional assessment methods (NC SAM, NC WAM, and NC SQT) to predict which metrics will result in functional uplift from the proposed mitigation activities. Site -specific goals included the following. • Minimize downstream flooding to the maximum extent feasible • Remove direct nutrient inputs from agricultural land use • Attenuate flood flow across the Site • Remove direct sediment inputs from agricultural land use • Reduce pollutant contributions to downstream waters • Connect streams to functioning wetlands • Improve both instream and stream -side habitat Project goals may be directly tied to functional assessment methods, as presented in Table 1. Specific work conducted at the Site to achieve these goals are detailed in Table 2. 2021 (MY3) Annual Monitoring Report Page 1 Brushy Mountain Mitigation Bank Site Restoration Systems, LLC Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Table 1.

Additional activities that occurred at the Site included the following. • Installation of five marsh treatment areas to treat drainage before entering Site tributaries, and • Planting 18.6 acres of the Site with 19,150 stems — planted species and densities are summarized in Appendix B. The Site design was completed in November 2018. Construction started on February 19, 2019, and ended within a final walkthrough on April 30, 2019. The Site was planted on May 3, 2019. 2.0 MONITORING PLAN & PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Monitoring requirements and success criteria outlined in the latest guidance by IRT 2016 (Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update) will be followed and are briefly outlined below. Monitoring data collected at the Site will include reference photos, plant survival analysis, channel stability analysis, and biological data. Monitoring will be conducted for seven years unless the USACE, in consultation with the IRT, agrees that monitoring may be terminated early. Early closure will only be provided through written approval from the USACE in consultation with the IRT. Annual monitoring reports will be submitted by the Sponsor no later than November 30 of each monitoring year. The following table provides a monitoring schedule for the Site. 2021 (MY3) Annual Monitoring Report Page 4 Brushy Mountain Mitigation Bank Site Restoration Systems, LLC Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Table 4.

Channels classified by B-type channels may be characterized by ER values below 1.4. • BHR and ER should not change by more than 10% in any given year for a majority of a given reach. • Must document the occurrence of at least four bankfull events in separate years during the monitoring period. *UT 3 and UT 4 are expected to exhibit near -continuous flow throughout the year; however, the minimum success criteria of 30 days consecutive flow will be used by the IRT to assess credit alterations within each reach. Streams are expected to exhibit jurisdictional stream indicators, including continuous bed and bank, scour of leaf matter, and OHWM. Longitudinal profiles of thalweg, water surface, and top -of -bank of each Restoration and Enhancement Level I reach are provided in the as -built survey. During the stream monitoring period, profile surveys shall not be required unless evidence of bed and/or bank instability is observed. In such cases, the USACE, in consultation with the IRT, shall determine if remedial measures are necessary. If corrective actions are required, monitoring and reporting of remedial measures may include additional longitudinal profiles. Determinations regarding the occurrence of bankfull events shall be based on the observation of overbank events utilizing a combination of stream gauges, automated trail cameras, as well as physical evidence of overbank flooding. Physical indicators, which are easily observable, include floodplain scour, vegetation flattening, sediment deposition on floodplains, and wrack lines consisting of deposited debris associated with stream discharges. The presence of physical indicators supporting bankfull event determinations shall be photo -documented when possible. Each bankfull event will be reported in the annual monitoring reports. 2021 (MY3) Annual Monitoring Report Page 5 Brushy Mountain Mitigation Bank Site Restoration Systems, LLC Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Table 5.

The channel geometry compares favorably with the proposed conditions outlined in the Detailed Restoration Plan and as constructed. Across the Site, all in -stream structures are intact and functioning as designed. No stream areas of concern were identified during year 3 (2021) monitoring. Tables for year 3 (2021) data and annual quantitative assessments are included in Appendix C. Three bankfull events were documented during year 3 (2021) monitoring for a total of 11 bankfull events to -date during the monitoring period (Table 16, Appendix D). Channel formation was evident in UT 3 and UT 4 in year 3 (2021). The two streamflow gauges and trail cameras on UT 3 recorded 208 and 144 consecutive streamflow days during year 3 (2021). The two streamflow gauges and trail cameras on UT 4 recorded 184 and 241 consecutive streamflow days during year 3 (2021). The approximate location of streamflow gauges and accompanying cameras are depicted in Figure 2 (Appendix A); tables containing channel formation indicators and streamflow gauge data are included in Appendix D. 2.3 Wetlands The performance criteria for restored wetlands, per USACE Guidance (October 24, 2016) are summarized below: • Saturation or inundation within the upper 12 inches of the soil surface for, at a minimum, 12 percent of the growing season, during average climatic conditions. o Wetland success criteria of 12 percent of the growing season was derived from the Wilmington District Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update (IRT 2016). 2021 (MY3) Annual Monitoring Report Page 6 Brushy Mountain Mitigation Bank Site Restoration Systems, LLC Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank According to the Soil Survey of Yadkin County, the growing season is from March 26-November 9 (USDA 1962). However, for this Site, gauge hydrologic success will be determined using data from March 1- November 9 to represent the period of biological activity more accurately. Soil temperatures will be collected from February to April of each monitoring year and reported in the annual monitoring report. Confirmation of the growing season must be accompanied by evidence of biological activity (budburst and soil temperature). The growing season will not be considered to have started on March 1 if bud burst and soil temperature data (41' F) do not meet these criteria. Target hydrological characteristics include saturation or inundation for 12 percent of the monitored period (March 1-November 9), during average climatic conditions. During years with atypical climatic conditions, a groundwater gauge in a reference wetland may be used to ascertain if hydrology data may be modified by the IRT for that particular year. Reference gauge data is not proposed to alter growing season lengths or hydrology success criteria without the IRT's consent. Table 6. Wetland Monitoring Summary Parameter Method Schedule/Frequency Number/Extent Data Collected 11 gauges spread Soil temperature at the throughout restored beginning of each Wetland Groundwater As -built, Years 1, 2, wetlands, 1 gauge in a monitoring period, Restoration gauges 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 reference wetland*, 1 groundwater and rain rain gauge, and 1 soil data for each monitoring probe period *The reference wetland groundwater gauge was installed off -site along the upper reach of UT2 to compare to Site groundwater gauge hydrology. The reference data will not be used to calculate success criteria, though instead, used by the IRT for comparative purposes during a drought or abnormally dry periods. 2.4 Wetland Results Table 7. Summary of Monitoring Period/Hydrology Success Criteria by Year Year Soil Temperatures/Date Budburst Documented Monitoring Period Used for Determining Success** 12 Percent of Monitoring Period 2019 (Year 1) March 26 March 26 - November 9 28 days 2020 (Year 2) Mar 25 Mar 25 - Nov 9 28 days 2021 (Year 3) Mar 3 March 3 — Nov 1 29 days * Based on observation of budburst on Site (March 3, 2021), and documented soil temperature greater than 41°F (Appendix D). ** During years 1-2, the growing season was determined based the Soil Survey of Yadkin County (March 26 — November 9). However, based on a 2021 discussion with the IRT, concern arose that the Soil Survey growing season does not accurately represent the current growing season end date. As a result, the growing season methodology was changed to use the most current WETS (USDA 2021) data to determine the growing season end date (Appendix D. All fourteen groundwater gauges were successful in year 3 (2021). Gauge 14 malfunctioned at the beginning of the growing season, it was replaced and has been logging consistently since. Groundwater hydrology data is included in Appendix D. 2021 (MY3) Annual Monitoring Report Page 7 Brushy Mountain Mitigation Bank Site Restoration Systems, LLC Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank 2.5 Vegetation The performance criteria for planted riparian vegetation, per USACE Guidance (October 24, 2016) are summarized below: • Within planted portions of the Site, a minimum of 320 stems per acre must be present at year 3; a minimum of 260 stems per acre must be present at year 5; a minimum of 210 stems per acre must be present at year 7. • Trees must average 7 feet in height at year 5, and 10 feet in height at year 7. • Planted and volunteer stems are counted, provided they are included in the approved planting list for the Site or as approved by the IRT on a case -by -case basis. • Any single species can only account for 50% of the required stems per monitoring plot. During quantitative vegetation sampling, 16 sample plots (10-meter by 10-meter) were installed within the Site as per guidelines established in CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.2 (Lee et al. 2008). In each sample plot, vegetation parameters to be monitored include species composition and species density. Visual observations of the percent cover of shrub and herbaceous species will also be documented by photographs. Year 2 (2020) data is included in Appendix B. Table 8. Vegetation Monitoring Summary Parameter Method Schedule/Frequency Number/Extent Data Collected Permanent As -built, Years 1, 2, 16 plots spread Species, height, vegetation plots 3, 5, and 7 across the Site location, planted vs. Vegetation 0.02 acre in size volunteer, and age establishment and vigor Annual random As -built, Years 1, 2, 3 plots randomly vegetation plots, 3, 5, and 7 selected each year Species 0.02 acre in size 2.6 Vegetation Results Year 3 (2021) CVS measurements were performed on July 28, 2021 and indicate an average of 604 planted stems per acre (excluding live -stakes) across the Site; therefore, the Site meets vegetation success criteria. Additionally, all 16 individual vegetation plots met success criteria based on planted stems alone. Additionally, three random vegetation transects were measured during year 3 (2021). All three transects met success criteria with an average of 648 planted stems per acre (Table 10, Appendix C). Year 3 (2021) vegetation plot information can be found in Appendix C and plot locations are depicted on Figure 2 (Appendix A). 2.7 Macroinvertebrates Benthic macroinvertebrate sampling will be conducted once before construction (baseline conditions) and once during monitoring years 3, 5, and 7. Macroinvertebrate sampling will be conducted following the "Qual 4" method described in Standard Operating Procedures for Collection and Analysis of Benthic Macroin vertebrates (NCDWQ 2012). Site sampling will occur during the "index period" referenced in Small Streams Biocriteria Development (NCDWQ 2009). Results will be presented on a site -by -site basis and will include a list of taxa collected, an enumeration of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Tricopetera taxa as Biotic Index values. Post -construction macroinvertebrate sampling occurred on May 18, 2021, in accordance with the monitoring schedule (Table 4). Results and habitat forms are included in appendix H. 2021 (MY3) Annual Monitoring Report Page 8 Brushy Mountain Mitigation Bank Site Restoration Systems, LLC Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank Benthic macroinvertebrate sampled data during MY 3 shows increases in richness and diversity when compared to preconstruction surveys. When compared to reference site data the onsite data is only slightly below reference values for MY 3. 3.0 MAINTENANCE AND CONTINGENCY PLAN The Sponsor shall regularly monitor the Site and conduct a physical inspection a minimum of once per year throughout the post -construction monitoring period until performance standards are met. These inspections may identify components and features that require routine maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following construction and are summarized as follows. 3.1 Vegetation Vegetation will be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be controlled by mechanical (i.e., chainsaw) and/or chemical (i.e., basal bark herbicide application) methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide application and soil fertilization will be performed following NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations & 15A NCAC 02B .0233. If vegetation Performance Standards are not achieved based on average density calculations from combined plots over the entire restoration area, supplemental planting may be performed with tree species approved by regulatory agencies. Additional planting will be completed and monitored as needed until the achievement of vegetation success criteria is reached. 3.2 Streams If stream Performance Standards are not fulfilled, a mechanism for contingency will be implemented. Stream contingency may include, but may not be limited to, 1) structure repair and/or installation; 2) repair of dimension, pattern, and/or profile variables; and 3) bank stabilization. The contingency method is expected to be dependent upon stream variables that are not in compliance with Performance Standards. Primary concerns that may jeopardize stream success include, 1) structure failure, 2) headcut migration through the Site, and/or 3) bank erosion. Structure Failure If structures are compromised, the affected structure will be repaired, maintained, or replaced. Once the structure is repaired or replaced, it must function properly, and stabilize adjacent stream banks and/or maintain grade control within the channel. Structures that remain intact but exhibit flow around, beneath, or through the header/footer will be repaired by excavating a trench on the upstream side of the structure and reinstalling filter fabric in front of the header/footer. Structures that have been compromised, resulting in shifting or collapse of header/footer, will be removed and replaced with a structure suitable anticipated stormwater flows. Headcut Migration If a headcut occurs (identified visually or through measurements [i.e., bank -height ratios exceeding 1.2]), provisions for impeding headcut migration and repairing damage caused by the headcut will be implemented. Headcut migration may be hindered by installing in -stream grade control structures (rip - rap sill and/or log cross -vane weir) and/or restoring stream geometry variables until channel stability is 2021 (MY3) Annual Monitoring Report Page 9 Brushy Mountain Mitigation Bank Site Restoration Systems, LLC Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank achieved. Channel repairs to stream geometry may include channel backfill with coarse material and stabilizing the material with erosion control matting, vegetative transplants, and/or willow stakes. Bank Erosion If severe bank erosion occurs, resulting in elevated width -to -depth ratios, contingency measures to reduce bank erosion and the width -to -depth ratio will be implemented. Bank erosion contingency measures may include the installation of log -vane weirs and/or other bank stabilization measures. If the resultant bank erosion induces shoot cutoffs or channel abandonment, a channel may be excavated, which will reduce shear stress to stable values. Stream Flow If insufficient flow occurs in UT 3 and UT 4, various contingency provisions may occur. If the success criteria of 30-days continuous flow are not met, the IRT may choose to reduce credit for portions of the reach subject to a lack of flow. If the success criteria of 30-days continuous flow are exceeded, but the near - continuous flow is not exhibited, the IRT may choose to request additional data be collected within the subject reach, including NC SQT measurements to verify functional uplift. In addition, the IRT may request the channel be reclassified as intermittent streams for future reporting purposes. 3.3 Wetland Hydrology Hydrological contingency will require consultation with hydrologists and regulatory agencies if wetland hydrology enhancement/restoration is not achieved. Hydrologic contingency actions may include floodplain surface modifications such as the construction of ephemeral pools, deep ripping of the soil profile, supplemental planting, and/or maintenance to areas of the wetland where stormwater or floodplain flows are intercepted to prevent scour. Recommendations for a contingency to establish wetland hydrology may be implemented and monitored until hydrology success criteria are achieved. If beaver become a nuisance within the Site, beaver management will be initiated and continued on an as - needed basis in accordance with North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) rules and regulations. 3.4 Site Boundaries Site boundaries are identified in the field with t-posts and/or treated 6-inch fence timbers and marked with signage to ensure a clear distinction between the Site and adjacent properties. Disturbed, damaged, or destroyed boundary markers will be repaired and/or replaced on an as -needed basis. 3.5 Terracell Drop Structure The Terracell drop structure is monitored annually. In the event of erosion or scour within the structure, maintenance may include structure repair, chinking the structure to prevent piping, securing loose coir- fiber matting, and/or supplemental planting of live stakes and erosion control grasses. If debris clogs or inhibits flow over the structure, manual or mechanical debris removal will occur; maintenance is only expected until the structure naturalizes. 2021 (MY3) Annual Monitoring Report Page 10 Brushy Mountain Mitigation Bank Site Restoration Systems, LLC Yadkin 01 Umbrella Mitigation Bank 4.0 REFERENCES Griffith, G.E., J.M.

Live stakes were planted along the upper third of UT-1 and around some UT-2 structures. Live stakes planted after construction consisted primarily of silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) and silky willow (Salix sericea). Visual inspection throughout the year indicated an overall successful establishment of the initial planting though, the quantity planted was low. The goal of this planting was to supplement the first and adequately establish woody, riparian vegetation, adjacent to stream channels. To accomplish the supplement, RS planted 1,000, primarily black willow (Salix nigra), live stakes over approximately 1,300 I. ft. of UT-1 and UT-2.

Gauges 12 was installed on June 26, and gauges 13 and 14 were installed on September 4. It is expected that all gauges would have met or exceeded success criteria early in the Year 1 (2019) growing season. 3 Gauge 7 malfunctioned twice during the Year 2 (2020) growing season. The gauge began reading erratically for 53 days from early May to late June before it was replaced on June 30. The new gauge read for just 10 days before failing.

Live stakes were planted along the upper third of UT-1 and around some UT-2 structures. Live stakes planted after construction consisted primarily of silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) and silky willow (Salixsericea). Visual inspection throughout the year indicated an overall successful establishment of the initial plantingthough, the quantity planted was admittedly low. The goal of this planting was to supplement the first and adequately establish woody, riparian vegetation, adjacent to stream channels. To accomplish the supplement, IRS planted 1,000, primarily black willow (Salix nigra), live stakes over approximately 1,300 I. ft. of UT-1 and UT-2 (see attached figure). Josh Merritt and Matthew Harrell of IRS conducted the planting (see attached photo deck). Please let me know if you have any questions.

The segment which is assessed should represent average stream conditions. To perform a proper habitat evaluation the observer needs to get into the stream. To complete the form, select the description which best fits the observed habitats and then circle the score. If the observed habitat falls in between two descriptions, select an intermediate score. A final habitat score is determined by adding the results from the different metrics.
