RE: RES Green Valley Farm II: Year 2 Monitoring Report (NCDMS ID 100111)
Listed below are comments provided by DMS on January 12, 2022 regarding the RES Green
Valley Farm II: Draft Year 2 Monitoring Report and RES' responses.
1. Section 1.6 and Figure 2 reference a 320 stem/acre success criteria. My understanding
is that 260 stems/acre at the end of MY5 is the only requirement for buffer-only
projects. 320 stems/acre is an interim success criteria from the 2016 IRT stream and
wetland mitigation guidance.
Section 1.6 and Figure 2 have been fixed to say 260 stems/acre instead of 320
stems/acre.
2. Table 7 — based on comment#1 above, veg plot 4 would have met the success criteria.
Table 7 is fixed to show VP4 has met criteria.
3. The CVS mdb Table 7 export and simple export produce a table with different values
relative to Table 7 in the report. Please review and ensure the submitted mdb contains
data that support the table included in the report.
The submitted mdb and table 7 have been reviewed and now match.
4. Please submit monitoring photos as JPEGS.

1 Project Summary
1.1 Project Location and Description
The Green Valley Farm II Project is within the Randleman Lake Watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin
within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code(HUC)03030003, 14-digit HUC 03030003010070 and DWR Sub-
basin Number 03-06-08.
The Project is located in Randolph County approximately 2.3 miles northwest of Level Cross, North
Carolina(Figure 1). To access the Project head North on Randleman Road from city center for one mile
and turn left on Hockett Dairy Road. Go about 1.3 miles before taking a farm access road to reach the
project,on the right side. The coordinates are 35.9086°N and-79.833 °W.
Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource Environmental
Solutions (RES), is pleased to provide this Monitoring Report for the Green Valley Farm II Riparian
Buffer Mitigation Project(Project)as a full-delivery buffer mitigation project for the Division of Mitigation
Services(DMS)(DMS#100111).This Project provides riparian buffer mitigation credits for unavoidable
impacts due to development within the Randleman Lake Watershed (Figure 1).This Monitoring Report
is in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and the Randleman
Lake Water Supply Watershed Buffer Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0250.
The conservation easement of the Green Valley Farm II Project totals approximately 7.19 acres and includes
two unnamed tributaries that drain directly into Randleman Lake approximately 1,000 feet downstream of
the Project. Land use within the Project parcel was primarily actively farmed row crops and newly planted
riparian forest.The goal of the Project was to restore ecological function to the existing stream and riparian
area by establishing appropriate plant communities while minimizing temporal and land disturbing impacts.
Riparian area improvements help filter runoff from agricultural fields, thereby reducing nutrient and
sediment loads to Project channels and the overall watershed. Restoration,of the Randleman Lake riparian
area(as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0250),results in a reduction of the water quality stressors affecting the
Project. This Project is consistent with the management strategy for maintaining and protecting riparian
areas in the Randleman Lake watershed.
The easement is comprised of four sections, separated by two crossings and UT4. This Project surrounds
an existing DMS project, Green Valley Farm Buffer Restoration Site (DMS # 95012, 2014-0073v1) that
was closed out(Figure 2).The Green Valley II Project is composed of two stream channels:UT1 and UT4.
Both of these reaches are outside of the actual easement boundaries but included in the previous Green
Valley Farm Project. UT4 is a tributary to UT1, which then flows into Randleman Lake. UT1 is
approximately 1,677 linear feet and is on the western side of the project.UT4 is approximately 590 linear
feet and runs between the four easement segments. Stream identifications were verified by the DWR site
visit on September 1, 2011, as well as a re-evaluation for UT4 on February 23, 2017.
1.2 Monitoring Protocol and Project Success Criteria
Vegetation monitoring and visual assessments are to be conducted annually. Riparian area vegetation
monitoring is based on the "Carolina Vegetation Survey-Ecosystem Enhancement Program Protocol for
Recording Vegetation: Level 2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.2". Monitoring plots were installed a
minimum of 100 meters squared in size and covered at least two percent of the planted mitigation area.
These plots were randomly placed throughout the planted riparian restoration area and was representative
of the riparian area restoration. The following data was recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height,
Green Valley Farm II Mitigation Project 1 Year 2 Monitoring Report
Project#100111 January 2022

planting date(or volunteer),and grid location.All stems in plots were flagged with flagging tape.There are
six fixed vegetation monitoring plots(Figure 2).
Photos are to be taken at all vegetation plot origins each monitoring year and be provided in the annual
reports.Visual inspections and photos are to be taken to ensure that restoration areas are being maintained
and compliant. The measures of vegetative success for the Project are the survival of at least four native
hardwood tree species,where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems,at a density of at least 260
stems per acre at the end of Year 5. Native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance
standards as determined by NC Division of Water Resources(DWR).
A visual assessment of the conservation easement was performed each year to confirm:
• No encroachment has occurred;
• No invasive species in areas were invasive species were treated,
• Diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement areas; and there has not
been any cutting,clearing,filling,grading,or similar activities that would negatively affect
the functioning of the riparian area.
Component/ Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out
Feature
Vegetation Annual Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted plant
vegetation community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may include
monitoring supplemental planting,pruning,mulching,and fertilizing.Exotic invasive plant species
shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation requiring
herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of
Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation maintenance activities will be
documented and reported in annual monitoring reports. Vegetation maintenance will
continue through the monitoring period.
Invasive and Nuisance Visual Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none become
Vegetation Assessment dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project.Locations of invasive
and nuisance vegetation will be mapped.
Project Boundary Visual Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the
Assessment mitigation project and adjacent properties. Boundaries will be marked with signs
identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-
term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker,
bollard, post, tree-blazing, or other means as allowed by Project conditions and/or
conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be
repaired and/or replaced on an as-needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/
signage maintenance will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity.
Road Crossing Visual Road crossings within the Project may be maintained only as allowed by conservation
Assessment easement or existing easement,deed restrictions,rights of way,or corridor agreements.
Crossings in easement breaks are the responsibility of the landowner to maintain.
1.3 Project Components
This Project generates 175,509.615 riparian restoration credits on existing cropland. These riparian
mitigation credits generated service Randleman Lake buffer impacts within the Randleman Lake watershed.
The total mitigation credits that the Green Valley Farm II Mitigation Project generates are summarized
below and in Table 1.

1.4 Riparian Mitigation Approach
Restoration efforts along UT1 and UT4 were accomplished through the planting, establishment, and
protection of a hardwood forest community. The result was a riparian habitat that functions to mitigate
nutrient and sediments inputs from the surrounding uplands. Traditional riparian restoration,as outlined in
15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n), was utilized. All riparian restoration activities took place within the 50-200'
riparian area along to UT1 and UT4 and was subject to crediting and ratios as outlined in the Consolidated
Buffer Mitigation Rule. Mitigation ratios followed those provided in the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation
Rule. Prior to the issuance of the RFP (#16-007703), RES received approval for restoration on February
27, 2012, and an update on March 24, 2017. RES received an email from DWR on May 13, 2019, that
indicated that an updated site visit was not necessary.
1.5 Construction and As Built Conditions
Revegetation of the Site included treating invasive species and planting native hardwood bareroot trees.
Prior to planting, RES prepped the Site by spraying and ripping the easement. Piedmont Alluvial Forest is
the target community type for the riparian restoration areas.The community is defined by Schafale(2012).
The planting of bareroot trees occurred in May 2020.Deviations from the initial planting plan were due to
bareroot availability. A list of the planted tree species can be found in Table 5. Additionally, a temporary
and permanent seed mixture was applied in areas where row crops were present.Among a variety of seeds,
the mixture also included black-eyed Susan(Rudbeckia hirta)which is a perennial,pollinator species.
1.6 Year 2 Monitoring Performance
Monitoring of the six permanent vegetation plots was completed on November 2, 2021. Vegetation tables
are in Appendix B and associated photos are in Appendix C. Year 2 monitoring data indicates that five
out of six plots are exceeding the success criteria of 260 planted stems per acre. Planted stem densities
ranged from 0 to 728 planted stems per acre with a mean of 492 planted stems per acre across all plots.A
total of 18 species were documented within the plots. Volunteer species were noted at Year 2 monitoring
and are expected to increase in upcoming years.The average tree height observed was 2.2 feet.The southern
areas of the easement,about 5.33 acres,will be supplemental planted with larger container trees as needed
to exceed the success criteria. RES believes the low stem densities are attributed to the aggressive
herbaceous growth outcompeting bareroot stems.
Visual assessment of vegetation outside of the monitoring plots indicates that the areas surrounding VP3
and VP4 as well as VP5 and VP6 are covered in Johnson grass,an invasive species.RES will treat the grass
before planting. Additionally, there were no signs of encroachment or concentrated flow in the easement
area.
