RE: Per our phone conversation today(February 1st, 2022), Table 1 has been updated to match the Asset Table included in the approved MY0 Report. It is worth noting that the original executed contract credit amount to be delivered by HDR is for 458,128 Riparian Buffer Credits. HDR proposed to deliver 469,459.424 Riparian Buffer Credits in the approved Mitigation Plan. After construction was completed and the As-Built survey was completed the reported credits were revised to 466,747.935. Table 1 has been revised to match the As-Built credits amount.

The Randleman Lake Watershed is located within the larger Cape Fear River Basin (Hydrologic Unit Code 03030003). The Site is located within the Southern Outer Piedmont, approximately 2.9 miles southeast of Archdale, NC(Figure 2).The 12.2 acre Site involved restoration and enhancement of 504,075 square feet of riparian buffers along Unnamed Tributary to(UT) Muddy Creek(UT MC)(UT MC, Index#17- 9-(1)) and UT 1, UT 2, and UT 5 that were previously active cattle pasture (Table 1 and Figure 3). Directions to the Site: From Raleigh-Durham International Airport: 1-40 west for 61.6 miles; keep left for 1-85 S, go 17.6 miles to exit 113; turn left onto NC-62, go .2 miles; turn right onto Weant Rd, go to end; turn right onto Suits Rd, the project site will be on the left. The final mitigation plan was submitted and accepted by North Carolina Division of Water Resources in November of 2020. Construction began in December 2020 and finished in March of 2021. Site planting finalized in February of 2021. LMG provided construction oversight services for the Site. LMG completed baseline vegetation monitoring on March 12, 2021. Completed project activities, reporting history, completion dates, project contacts, and background information is summarized in Tables 2, 3, and 4 of Appendix A. 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives The following goals and objectives address the primary issues within the watershed and assist DMS in meeting planning goals. Primary goals for the Site, as detailed in the White Mitigation Project Mitigation Plan (HDR 2020) include: 1. Reduce water quality stressors associated with nutrient, sediment, and pathogen loading. 2. Enhance terrestrial and aquatic habitat. The following objectives accomplish the goals listed above: 1. Reducing water quality stressors is directly tied to the following: a) Reducing non-point source (i.e., cattle accessing the channels, stormwater runoff through pastures and feeding stations) pollution associated with on-site agricultural operations from the installation of exclusionary fencing to remove cattle and machinery from on-site streams and riparian buffers. b) Reducing non-point pollution associated with on-site agricultural operations by the restoration and enhancement of riparian vegetative buffers on adjacent floodplains to treat surface water runoff from adjacent pastureland. c) Further removal of agricultural equipment and cattle by providing and improving culverted agricultural crossings. d) Treatment of pollution associated with off-site agricultural, institutional, and residential properties by the restoration and enhancement of riparian vegetative buffers on-site to attenuate nutrient and sediment laden floodwaters. Randolph County, NC Page 1 February 1,2022 White Mitigation Project I DMS Project No.100112 MY1 Monitoring Report 2. Enhancement of terrestrial and aquatic habitat is directly tied to a) Restoration of native vegetation to the previously maintained and highly impacted riparian corridors in order to diversify flora and created a protected habitat corridor that provides an abundance of available foraging and cover habitat for a multitude of mammals and birds. Additionally, establishment of woody vegetation in the riparian corridor provides direct inputs of woody debris to adjacent conveyances that assist in increasing biomass and cover habitat for aquatic species. 2.0 Annual Monitoring 2.1 Methods Monitoring of the parameters listed in Table 5 (Appendix A)were conducted on September 9, 2021.Ten (10) permanent vegetation plots (totaling more than 2 percent of the planted area on Site) within the buffer restoration area were monitored using the Carolina Vegetation (CVS) protocols. Vegetative problem areas, invasive species, and project boundary encroachments have been mapped and included as part of Current Condition Plan View(Figure 4.1-4.5,Appendix A).Year 2 vegetation survey is anticipated to occur in September 2022. 2.2 Results and Discussion This section documents the conditions observed in Year 1 monitoring. Table 6 details specific vegetative data in relation to the Year 1 conditions (Appendix B). The 1,830 feet of vertical stream bank stabilized during the construction stage of the project has remained stable over the past year of monitoring. Livestakes and bareroot plantings along repaired streams have established and are surviving. Repaired areas along UT MC between UT 3 and UT 5 are heavily shaded by the mature canopy and planted stems along the top of bank have shown stunted growth over the past year but were alive at the time of monitoring. An area of minor erosion was observed below the culvert crossing on UT 2 and is depicted in Figure 4.4 and Figure 5.12.This area of minor erosion is likely the result of the removal an invasive species that was providing bank stability. A second area of minor erosion was observed along UT MC near the area where a crossing was removed during construction and is depicted in Figures 4.4 and 5.16. It is anticipated that these areas will stabilize naturally over time; however, both areas will be closely monitored in subsequent monitoring years. Buffer restoration areas were planted with bare root species characteristic of a Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial Forest (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). Nine of the ten permanent vegetation plots established in February 2021 are meeting or exceeding success criteria outlined in the Mitigation Plan. Dense growth of fescue(Festuca sp.)and knotweed(Polygonum sp.) have overtopped bareroot plantings in vegetation plot 5. While several bareroot plantings are surviving, others were either dead or unable to be located due to the dense vegetative growth. Areas with dense fescue growth were treated in late October to relieve bareroot plantings of herbaceous competition. It is anticipated that bareroot plantings in these areas will resprout or re-emerge once the grass has died off from treatment. This area will be closely monitored in Year 2 to determine if additional action or treatment is necessary. Several areas of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) were treated in April 2021. While the areas previously treated are dead, several new areas of invasive growth were Randolph County, NC Page 2 February 1,2022 White Mitigation Project I DMS Project No.100112 MY1 Monitoring Report discovered during vegetation monitoring in September 2021 and are depicted in Figures 4.1-4.5. It is important to note that the Site had dense growth of Chinese privet along the banks and floodplain of UT MC, UT 3, UT 4, and UT 5 that were treated and removed during construction. Much of the new growth is a result of stump coppicing and sprouting from a prevalent seed bank. New areas of invasive species growth were treated in late October along with dense fescue and knotweed growth. Further details of invasive species management procedures can be found in Section 2.3 of this document. 2.3 Adaptive Management Plan Approximately 38 areas of Chinese privet and multiflora rose were spot treated using a 10% solution of aquatic glyphosate.The majority of the spot treatments that took place were re-sprouts along UT Muddy which was densely populated with privet and multiflora rose prior to construction.Treatments were made during April 2021 and October 2021. Invasive species will be monitored and treated at the same rate as needed in subsequent monitoring years. Approximately 0.86 acres of dense fescue and 0.13 acres of dense polygonum were treated with sethoxydum at a rate of 6 oz. per acre to allow for bare root establishment in these areas.One application was made in October 2021. These areas will be reassessed in Spring, 2022 to determine if a second application is necessary. 3.0 References HDR Engineering Inc. of the Carolinas (HDR) 2020.
