Good afternoon,
PIS see below email to access the As -built Report for Daniels Creek. This was delivered using our ftp
site due its size and looks like access expires this Sunday. Also, pls take a look at their YouTube
drone footage for each individual reach. In fielding an inquiry from Chris on temperature data
loggers, I have asked Wildlands to develop a protocol for establishing a start of the growing season
timeframe if wanting to claim a pre -March 1 date. Along with the temperature readings, this would
include documenting vegetative indicators set forth in the AGCP Regional Supplement Manual:
"The growing season has begun on a site when two or more different non -evergreen
vascular plant species growing in the wetland or surrounding areas exhibit one or more of
the following indicators of biological activity:
a. Emergence of herbaceous plants from the ground.
b. Appearance of new growth from vegetative crowns (e.g., in
graminoids, bulbs, and corms)
c. Coleoptile/cotyledon emergence from seed
d. Bud burst on woody plants (i.e., some green foliage is visible
between spreading scales)
e. Emergence or elongation of leaves of woody plants
f. Emergence or opening of flowers"

Our office will be preparing the additional credit release letter in the coming weeks (attaching our
last release w/ MBI signing). Call if you have comments/questions.

Dear Mr. Wilkerson:
This letter serves to verify our July 26, 2021 receipt of the "July 23, 2021 Baseline
Monitoring Document and As -Built Baseline Report" and your effort to satisfy Milestone
2 in the August 2021 Updated Credit Release Schedule Tables for Riparian Wetlands,
Non -Riparian Wetlands, and Stream (enclosed) for the November 5, 2019 executed
Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) establishing from the Middle Cape Fear Umbrella
Mitigation Bank (Bank). The Bank's initial project site is Daniels Creek Mitigation Site
located in Broadway, Harnett County, North Carolina. Additionally, please reference
Mr. Jordan Jessop and my March 23, 2021 onsite inspection of the bank's construction
with Mr. John Hutton of Wildlands.
Based on the submitted report and the inspection, our office has confirmed that all
initial construction and biological improvements have been completed and that
Milestone 2 requirements have been satisfied. Additionally, our office acknowledges
that the tables in the enclosed modified credit release schedules have been adjusted to
reflect the results of the as -built or baseline measurements. By fulfilling Milestone 2, this
letter serves to confirm the release of 15% of all credits, which total 2.097 riparian
wetland credits, 0.059 non -riparian wetland credits, and 1,765.2 stream credits. To
date, the cumulative release of credits total 4.177 riparian wetland credits, 0.118 non -
riparian wetland credits, and 3,607.2 stream credits.
The release of additional credits will be contingent on the review of the subsequent
monitoring reports by the Interagency Review Team and our office. Please be
reminded that all annual monitoring reports, as stated in the August 2019 final mitigation
plan, must be submitted to our office no later than April 1 of each year.

1.0 Credit Release Schedule
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:

t 10% of credits will be reserved for the site that can be subsequently released after four bankfull events have
occurred in separate monitoring years, provided that the channel is stable and all other performance standards are
being met.
1.1 Initial Allocation of Released Credits
The initial allocation of released credits is defined as Bank Establishment in the 2013 Wilmington District
credit release schedule guidance document. The initial allocation can be released without prior written
approval of the DE upon satisfactory completion of the following activities:
a. Execution of the UMBI by the Sponsor and the USACE
b. Approval of the Final Mitigation Plan
c. Recordation of the conservation easement, as well as delivery of a title opinion that is
acceptable to the USACE.
d. Delivery of the financial assurances described in the Mitigation Plan.
e. 404 permit verification for construction of the site, if required.
Daniels Creek Mitigation Site Appendix 9
USACE Action ID No. SAW-2017-00998 Page 3 updated August 2021

1.2 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 10% of a site's total stream credits shall be released after four bankfull events have occurred in separate
years, provided the channel is stable and all other performance standards are met. In the event that less
than four bankfull 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 the credit release, Wildlands
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.
