The Site is comprised of 7.50 acres along several unnamed tributaries to the Randleman Reservoir (Figure 2). The Site is surrounded by fields that are used for agriculture and is immediately adjacent to Phase I of the Burnetts Chapel Mitigation Project, which was successfully completed by Wildlands in 2017 for the North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). The project expands the Phase I riparian buffer area from 50 feet to 100 to 200 feet on five of the original project streams and channels. The Site is expected to generate 280,577.321 riparian buffer credits. The Site is located within the Cape Fear River Basin Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03030003-010050 and the North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) Sub -basin 03-06-08. Five unnamed tributaries on the Site flow into the Randleman Reservoir (Reaches B1-B5). These water bodies are classified as WS-IV, as the Randleman Reservoir is a major source of drinking water for the region. This buffer restoration project will reduce sediment and nutrient loading and improve terrestrial habitat. The area surrounding the streams proposed for restoration is primarily open agricultural fields. Restoring the vegetative buffer on the areas up to 200 feet from the streams will remove the hay fields and fertilizer inputs within the project area. The restored floodplain areas will filter sediment -laden farm runoff during rainfall events. The establishment of riparian buffers will create shading to minimize thermal pollution. Finally, invasive vegetation will be treated within the project area as needed and the proposed native vegetation will provide cover and food for wildlife. Tables 1 and 2 in Appendix A provide more detailed watershed and Site background information for this project. 1.2 project Goals and Objectives The major goals of the proposed buffer restoration project are to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Randleman Reservoir watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin by creating a functional riparian corridor and restoring the riparian buffer. Specific enhancements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined below. Goals Objectives Nutrient input will be decreased by filtering runoff from the Decrease nutrient levels agricultural fields through restored native buffer zones. The off -site nutrient input will also be absorbed on -site by dispersing flood flows through native vegetation. Sediment from off -site sources will be deposited on Decrease sediment input restored floodplain areas where native vegetation will slow overland flow velocities. Create appropriate terrestrial habitat Buffer areas will be restored by removing invasive vegetation and planting native vegetation. Permanently protect the Site from harmful uses. A conservation easement will be established on the Site. Burnetts Chapel Mitigation Site -Phase II Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— Final Page 1-1 1.3 Project History On March 26, 2018, NCDWR conducted on -site determinations to review features and land use within the project boundary. The resulting NCDWR site viability letter and map confirming the Site as suitable for riparian buffer mitigation is located in Appendix A. NCDWR also approved the five project reaches as appropriate for buffer mitigation as related to the rules set forth in the Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed: Mitigation Program for Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Buffers (15A NCAC 02B .0252). The on -site determination approval letter from NCDWR is also included in Appendix A. The final mitigation plan was submitted and accepted by the NC DMS in September 2018. Planting activities were completed by Bruton Natural Systems, Inc. in March 2019. The baseline monitoring and as -built survey were completed in May 2019. There were no significant deviations reported in the project elements in comparison to the design plans. Tables 1 and 2 in Appendix A provides more detailed project activity, history, and contact information for this project. 1.4 Project Location The Site is located (Center of project 35.944022 N and-79.845255 W) in Guilford County, NC approximately three miles west of the Town of Pleasant Garden and four miles south of the City of Greensboro) within the Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030003-010050) and the NCDWR Sub -basin 03- 06-08. Directions to the project are as follows: Traveling south on 1-73 from Greensboro, take Exit 94 for Old Randleman Road. Turn right onto Old Randleman Road. Travel 0.5 miles and take a slight right onto Kivett Drive. Continue on Kivett Drive for 0.7 miles and take a left onto Drake Road. Continue on Drake Road for 1.7 miles and turn left onto Burnetts Chapel Road. The project parcel will be on the right approximately 0.1 miles down Burnetts Chapel Road. Enter the Site via the gravel driveway. The property location is depicted on the Vicinity Map (Figure 1), which is located in Appendix A. 1.5 Project Design The Wildlands Team restored high quality riparian buffers along several unnamed tributaries on the Site. The project design ensured that no adverse impacts to wetlands or existing riparian buffers occurred. Figure 2 illustrates the conceptual design for the Site. Detailed descriptions of the proposed restoration activity follow in Sections 1.5.1 through 1.5.2. General site and buffer photographs are included in Appendix B. 1.5.1 Riparian Area Restoration Activities Prior to planting, the buffer restoration area was used as agricultural fields. These areas were tilled with a chisel plow to reduce soil compaction prior to planting. The fields within the project area contained only a few invasive species; therefore, only some selective spot herbicide treatments were required. The Site's ephemeral channels were located fully within the conservation easement area and were completely buffered as part of the project; therefore, no land disturbance to maintain diffuse flow was required. The revegetation plan for the buffer restoration area included permanent seeding, planting bare root trees, live stakes, and herbaceous plugs. These revegetation efforts were coupled with the select treatment of invasive species to control their population. The specific species composition planted was selected based on the desired community type, observation of occurrence of species in riparian buffers adjacent to the Site, and best professional judgement on species establishment and anticipated site conditions in the early years following project implementation. The total number of tree species planted across the buffer areas are as follows: tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) 450 stems, willow oak (Quercus phellos) 900 stems, American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) 900 stems, river birch (Betula nigra) 900 stems, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) 900 stems, and swamp chestnut oak (Quercus Burnetts Chapel Mitigation Site -Phase II Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— Final Page 1-2 michauxii) 450 stems. In total, 4,500 stems were planted across the buffer areas of the Site resulting in a planting density of 608 stems per acre. Trees were planted at a density sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 of 260 trees per acre at the end of five years. No one tree species planted was greater than 50% of the established stems. An appropriate seed mix was applied as necessary to provide temporary ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events in disturbed areas. This was followed by an appropriate permanent seed mixture. Planting was completed on March 16, 2019. Vegetation management and herbicide applications were implemented as needed during tree establishment in the restoration areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that could compete with the planted native species. 1.5.2 Riparian Area Preservation Activities No work was done in the buffer preservation areas, as allowed under 15A NCAC 02B .0295(o). The preservation area will be protected in perpetuity under a conservation easement. Burnetts Chapel Mitigation Site -Phase II kow Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— Final Page 1-3 Section 2: DETERMINATION OF CREDITS In addition to buffer restoration on subject streams, per the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules (15A NCAC 02B 0.0295 (o)), alternative mitigation is proposed on the Site in the form of buffer restoration on ephemeral channels and preservation of forested buffer on subject streams. The proposed project is in compliance with these rules in the following ways: Buffer Restoration on Ephemeral Channels (15A NCAC 02B 0.0295(o)(7)): • NCDWR performed an evaluation of the Site (Phase I in 2011 and Phase II in 2018) and identified the perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral channels on the property. • The mitigation area on the Site's ephemeral channels is located completely within their drainage areas. • The ephemeral channels are directly connected to intermittent or perennial stream channels and will be protected under the same contiguous easement boundary. • The mitigation area on the ephemeral channels is less than 25% of the total buffer mitigation area on the Site (Table 1, Appendix A). Preservation on Subject Streams (15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(5): • The buffer width is at least 30 feet from the stream. • The area meets the requirements of 15A NCAC 02R 0.0403(c)(7), (8), and (11) with no known structures, infrastructure, hazardous substances, solid waste, or encumbrances within the mitigation boundary. Preservation mitigation is being requested on no more than 25% of the total buffer mitigation area (Table 1, Appendix A). Mitigation credits are presented in Table 1 and Figure 2 in Appendix A and are based upon the as -built survey included in the Burnetts Chapel Mitigation Site -Phase II Baseline Monitoring Report (2019). Burnetts Chapel Mitigation Site -Phase II Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— Final Page 2-1 Section 3: PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AND MONITORING PROTOCOLS The performance criteria for the Site follows approved performance criteria presented in Burnetts Chapel Mitigation Site -Phase II Mitigation Plan (Wildlands Engineering, Inc., 2018), the NC DMS Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Buffer Baseline & Annual Monitoring Report Template, Version 2.0 (May 2017) and the Consolidated Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295). The buffer restoration project has been assigned specific performance criteria components for vegetation. Performance criteria will be evaluated throughout the five-year post -construction monitoring. The monitoring period will extend for five years beyond the completion of construction or until performance criteria have been met. An outline of the performance criteria and monitoring components are described below. 3.1 Annual Monitoring and Reporting Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. The extent of invasive species coverage will also be monitored and treated as necessary throughout the required monitoring period (five years). Complete monitoring reports will be prepared in the fall of each monitoring year and submitted to DMS. Annual monitoring reports will be based on the above referenced DMS Template (May 2017). '.2 Vegetation Success Criteria and Monitoring Protocol The final vegetative success criteria will be the survival of 260 planted stems per acre in the riparian corridor at the end of the required monitoring period (Monitoring Year (MY) 5). The final performance standard shall include a minimum of four native hardwood tree species or four native hardwood tree and native shrub species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems. Native hardwood and native shrub volunteer species may be included to meet the final performance standard of 260 stems per acre. Performance criteria will be evaluated throughout the five-year post -construction monitoring or until performance criteria have been met. Annual vegetation monitoring will follow the CVS-EEP Level 1 & 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). A total of six (6) vegetation monitoring quadrants were established within the project easement area using standard 10 meter by 10 meter vegetation monitoring plots. Plots were randomly established within planted portions of the riparian buffer areas to capture the heterogeneity of the designed vegetative communities. The plot corners have been marked and are recoverable either through field identification or with the use of a GPS unit. Reference photographs of the vegetation plots are taken annually from the origin looking diagonally across the plot to the opposite corner. Vegetation plot locations are depicted on the Current Conditions Plan View (CCPV) Map (Figure 3) in Appendix B. Photos depicting the current conditions of the vegetation plots for MY3 are also presented in Appendix B. 3.3 Photo Reference Stations Photographs will be taken within the project area once a year to visually document stability for five years following construction. A total of eight (8) permanent markers were established and located with GPS equipment so that the same locations and view directions on the Site are photographed each year. Photo reference locations are depicted on the Integrated CCPV map (Figure 3) in Appendix B. Photos depicting the current conditions of the conservation easement for MY3 are also presented in Appendix B. 3.4 Visual Assessments Visual assessments should support the specific performance standards for each metric as described WBurnetts Chapel Mitigation Site -Phase II Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— Final Page 3-1 above. Visual assessments will be performed within the Site on a semi-annual basis during the five-year monitoring period. Problem areas with vegetative health will be noted (e.g. low stem density, vegetatior mortality, invasive species, and/or encroachment). Areas of concern will be mapped, photographed, and accompanied by a written description in the annual monitoring report. Problem areas will be re- evaluated during each subsequent visual assessment. Burnetts Chapel Mitigation Site -Phase II Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— Final Page 3-2 Section 4: RESULTS OF YEAR 3 MONITORING 4.1 Vegetative Success The six vegetation plots were sampled in September 2021 towards the end of the second growing season. A reference photo was taken from the southwest corner of each plot, which can be found in Appendix B. Total numbers of tree species identified within the monitoring plots as well as density and composition are summarized in Table 8. The field data sheets are also in Appendix C. Two corrections were made to the total stem count table (Table 8) for MY2. The total number of river birch (Betula nigra) was 19 instead of 20, and one sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) was not included in the table for vegetation plot 4. Therefore, the vegetation plot composition table was updated in MY3 to include the accurate totals for the associated planted stems; the total stem count and density for the site remained unchanged. The MY3 vegetation monitoring resulted in an average stem density of 492 planted stems per acre, which exceeds the final stem density requirement of at least 260 stems per acre by the end of MY5. This also represents a stem survival rate of 81% since the MYO planting. Stem densities within individual monitoring plots ranged from 324 to 607 planted stems per acre. Stem height increased 27 cm since last year and now averages 107 cm. The number of different species planted per plot ranged from three to six with a Site average of five planted species, which meets the species diversity criteria of a minimum of four native hardwood species. With the inclusion of desirable volunteer species such as persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) and black walnut (Juglans nigra), the total species diversity increased to nine native species. Plots one through five met or exceeded the MY5 species diversity criteria; however, VP6 only had three species, and VP5 had swamp chestnut oak comprising more than 50% of the plot's total stems. For the Site as a whole, no one planted species represented more than 50% of the total planted species. Volunteer species were noted as present, but not included in the monitoring assessment vegetative success results for MY3. Species diversity throughout the site, as well as within the monitoring plots, will likely increase in subsequent monitoring years with the continued introduction of volunteer species. See Table 8 in Appendix C for additional information. Please refer to Appendix C for vegetation plot data and vegetation plot photographs. The Site is on track to meet its final success criteria. Q Vegetative Problem Areas An assessment of the vegetation condition was conducted throughout the site. Similar to last year, there were no bare or encroachment areas, and only 0.2 acres of vegetative areas of concern which continue to be minimal and are not negatively affecting the overall vegetative success of the Site. These areas are outlined below, presented in Table 6, and are depicted in Figure 3 of Appendix B. 4.2.1 Invasive Species As in previous monitoring years, a small patch of tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) is present within a patch of intact forest located within the easement. Several areas of Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) totaling 1.2 acres were identified within the easement but have not expanded since the previous year. Spot herbicide treatments were applied around the base of the trees in April 2021 to reduce the competition from S. halepense and allow the trees to grow up and shade out the grass. The Johnsongrass is not shown on the CCPV Map (Figure 3) since it is listed as a species of low/moderate concern and is not suppressing the viability, density, or growth of the planted woody stems. Invasive species populations will continue to be monitored and spot herbicide treatments will be conducted as needed during the appropriate time of year. Burnetts Chapel Mitigation Site -Phase II Monitoring Year 3 Annual Report— Final Page 4-1 4.2.2 Bare, Low Stem Density, & Poor Growth Rate Areas Planted and volunteer stems were observed in portions of the low planted stem density area along the left bank of Reach 134. This area shrunk 28% since last year to less than 0.1 acres during MY3. It is likely that this area's stem density will increase throughout the monitoring period by way of resprouts and the continued introduction of volunteer species; therefore, no additional planting is needed at this time. Wildlands will continue to monitor this area for emergence of woody species. 4.3 Parcel Maintenance Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event that the Site or a specific component of the Site fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in the Site's Mitigation Plan. Site maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Site that have a high likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include but are not limited to excess tree mortality caused by fire, flooding, drought, or insects. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. 1A Conclusions Vegetation is thriving across the Site and is exceeding performance standards. Monitoring Year 3 data shows an average density of 492 planted stems per acre across all vegetation plots, which is almost double the final criteria. There is a dense herbaceous layer throughout the site and the trees appear largely unaffected by the Johnsongrass with an average stem height of 3.5 feet. As with the previous year, monitoring data shows positive trends in vegetation establishment and this trajectory is expected to continue.

The Site is located in the Randleman Lake WS of the Cape Fear River Basin within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03030003. The Site is being proposed as part of a full -delivery buffer mitigation project for the DMS (RFP # 16-007242). At your request, on March 26, 2018, Ms. Merritt performed an onsite assessment of riparian land uses adjacent to streams onsite, which are shown on the attached map labeled "Site Map". This site is adjacent to an existing DMS full -delivery buffer mitigation site known as "Burnetts Chapel Mitigation Site" (DWR# 2011-0841) where fifty -foot riparian buffers were restored. Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from 51' out to 200' from the top of bank from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015).

Site cannot be a Preservation only site to comply with this rule. 'The area of the mitigation site on ephemeral channel shall comprise no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer mitigation per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(7). The attached map (Site Map) showing the project site and features was provided by Wildlands Engineering and was initialed by Ms. Merritt on March 27, 2018. This letter should be provided in any future stream, wetland, buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation plans for this Site. This letter does not constitute an approval of this site to generate mitigation credits. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for written approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240, a proposal regarding a proposed nutrient load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for approval prior to any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters. Page 213 Burnetts Chapel Phase II Site Wildlands March 27, 2018 All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0240. For any areas generating wetland mitigation credit, no buffer or nutrient offset credit can be generated. This viability assessment will expire on March 27, 2020 or upon the submittal of an As -Built Report to the DWR, whichever comes first.

Katie Merritt with the Division of Water Resources (Division) was also present during the site visit. During the site visit the upper portions of Reach B4 and Reach B5, as shown in green on the attached map, were reviewed. Both areas were representative of vegetated swales and had characteristics of wetlands and were therefore were determined not to be subject to the Randleman Buffer Rules as stated above. The owner (or future owners) should notify the Division (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any future correspondences concerning this property. This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the Division or Delegated Local Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer rule may request a determination by the Director. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o 401 & Buffer Permitting Branch, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650.
