RE: DWR Draft BPDP Comments
Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel (DWR # 2020-1942 v2)
Wayne County, NC
Dear Ms. Merritt:
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Wildlands) has reviewed the Division of Water Resources (DWR) comments
dated February 23, 2022 for the Draft Bank Parcel Development Plan (BPDP) for the Cox Pond Mitigation
Bank Parcel.
The DWR comments are listed below in bold, while Wildlands' responses are noted in italic lettering.
1. Section 1.1- Add that this WUP is a requirement of the certified Animal Feeding Operation
associated with permit #AWS960144 issued by the Division of Water Resources.
The correction has been made.
2. Section 2.2 — Existing conditions should call out the unstable banks, sink holes, and active
erosion noted in the site viability letter. Add language to this section speaking to that, if you
know where those areas are along the UTs, then add call outs on a supporting figure.
The correction has been made.
3. Table2 — Report in ft2 and update total credits after updating Table 9.
The correction has been made.
4. Section 2.3 — Also reference Table 9 in addition to Figure 7 since that is where you show the
deductions?
The correction has been made.
5. Section 2.11— DWR approved the new WUP? Do you have documentation supporting that? It
is not normally a formal "approval" from DWR so unless you have documentation that DWR
approved the WUP, remove this text. On a side note, I have already followed up with DWR
staff about this WUP and verbally they have said its fine and complies with all the numbers in
the permit.
Wording has been adjusted to note only the new WUP is included in the appendices.
6. Table 8 — There should be at least one subcanopy species in this plan.
Our understanding is that a Persimmon may be a canopy or subcanopy tree depending on its
environment. It is shade tolerant and can grow as an understory species so, as requested, it has
been changed to be listed as Subcanopy, along with Sweetbay Magnolia which can also be an
understory species.

7. Section 7.0 — Text implies no buffer credit on east side of UT4 where width is only 30 feet.
Modify language to provide clarity here. Indicate no NOC can be generated in areas where
riparian restoration is less than 50 feet.
The verbiage has been modified for clarification.
8. Section 7.0 — Add a statement that the total amount of credits that can be converted from
riparian buffer credit to nutrient offset is represented in Table 9 and will be documented in
the As -built report.
This statement has been added.
9. Table 9: There are comments made on Figure 7 that will result in changes needed to the
crediting areas on this table.
Table 9 has been updated in accordance with the edits requested on Figure 7.
10. Figure 7 —
a. The measurement of widths for crediting purposes is to be taken perpendicular and
landward from top of bank of the feature since that is our policy for measuring as per
the MBI. Only the radius should be included when the feature origin begins on the
property and has no other features coming into it. Therefore, remove the radius off
UT3 at Ditch C origin and change buffer to nutrient offset within that area.
The changes have been made to Figure 7.
b. Remove the radius off UT3 at Ditch C origin and change buffer to nutrient offset within
that area.
The changes have been made to Figure 7.
c. If Ditch A continues above the CE boundary, the diffused flow deductions need to be
applied the same way as on Ditch B.
Ditch A starts 50 feet north of and within the CE boundary; therefore, the diffused flow
deduction was not applied to the credits on Ditch A.
11. Figure 8: Make edits based on comments on Figure 7.
Figure 8 has been updated in accordance with the edits requested on Figure 7.
12. Figure 9: Make edits based on comments on Figure 7.
Figure 9 has been updated in accordance with the edits requested on Figure 7.
13. Wildlands Note: The conservation easement was straightened along the eastern boundary of
UT1 based on the landowner's request. There was also a small easement adjustment at the
downstream section of UT1 and UT3 to align the easement with the property line provided by
the surveyor. All figures and credit tables have been adjusted accordingly.
The final BPDP has been uploaded to the Laserfiche system. Please contact me at 704-560-2997 if you
have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Andrea S. Eckardt

Wildlands Holdings III
1.0 Project Introduction
The Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel (Parcel) is proposed under the terms and conditions of the Cox
Pond and O'Berry Road Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI), made and
entered into by Wildlands Holdings III, LLC acting as Bank Sponsor (Sponsor) and the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). The Parcel shall
be planned and designed according to the UMBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0703, and the Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295.
The project is in Wayne County approximately two and a half miles northwest of Mount Olive, North
Carolina (Figure 1). Directions are included on Figure 1. The Parcel creates a protected riparian area
from top of bank to a minimum of 30 feet along streams, or 50 feet along ditches, to a maximum of 200
feet along four unnamed tributaries and three ditches. The primary purpose of the project is to provide
riparian buffer mitigation credits and nutrient offset credits to compensate for unavoidable impacts in
the Neuse River Basin 03020201 Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) outside the Falls Lake Watershed (Figure
2). The Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201170050 and NCDWR Subbasin 03-
04-12 in Wayne County.
1.1 Parcel Description
The project features flow to Brooks Swamp off site, which then connects with Thoroughfare Swamp.
Thoroughfare Swamp subsequently flows to Falling Creek and finally into the Neuse River. Brooks
Swamp, Thoroughfare Swamp, and Falling Creek are all classified as Water Supply IV (WS-IV) and
Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by the NCDWR. The proposed project supports specific goals identified
in the Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP) by promoting "nutrient and sediment reduction in
agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers".
This riparian mitigation project will reduce sediment and nutrient loading, provide and improve
terrestrial and instream habitats, and improve stream and bank stability. The area surrounding the
streams proposed for mitigation is predominantly agricultural fields, typically used to grow corn,
soybeans, and tobacco. See Appendix A for July 2021 current land use photographs. Permitted direct
application of hog waste from a lagoon located offsite was previously used for fertilizer on the field
adjacent to Ditch C and UT3. This Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) is a requirement of the certified Animal
Feeding Operation Association and permit #AWS960144 was issued by NCDWR. With the start of this
project, the WUP was amended to exclude the entire application field (See Figure 3 and Appendix E).
Restoring the riparian area up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches will reduce nutrient and
sediment inputs in the tributaries to Brooks and Thoroughfare Swamps, and subsequently Falling Creek
and the Neuse River. The restored floodplain areas will filter sediment during high rainfall events and
provide cover and food for wildlife throughout the Parcel.

2.0 Mitigation Project Summary
2.1 Project Goals
The major goals of the proposed buffer and nutrient offset mitigation project are to provide ecological
and water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by restoring the riparian area to create a
functional riparian corridor. Specific enhancements to water quality and ecological processes are
outlined below in Table 1.
Table 1: Ecological and Water Quality Goals
Goals
Objectives
Decrease nutrient levels.
Nutrient input will be decreased by filtering runoff from the agricultural fields
through restored native vegetation. The off -site nutrient input will also be
absorbed on -site by filtering flood flows through restored floodplain areas,
where flood flows can disperse through native vegetation.
Decrease sediment input.
Sediment from off -site sources will be captured by deposition on restored
floodplain areas where native vegetation will slow overland flow velocities.
Decrease water
temperature and increase
dissolved oxygen
concentrations.
Planted riparian trees will shade the project features as they mature, reducing
thermal pollution.
Reduce fecal coliform
inputs.
Fecal coliform input will be reduced by restricting the application of animal
waste within the conservation easement. Converting fertilized cropland to
forest will filter runoff from the adjacent fields through the planting vegetated
buffers.
Create appropriate
terrestrial habitat.
Riparian areas will be restored by treating invasive vegetation and planting
native vegetation.
Permanently protect the
project Parcel from
harmful uses.
A conservation easement will be recorded on the Parcel.
2.2 Existing Parcel Conditions
The proposed buffer mitigation and nutrient offset project includes approximately 23.5 acres of open
row crop fields and forest land along four unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2, UT3, and UT4), and three
ditches (Ditches A, B, and C). The fields are typically planted with corn or soybeans adjacent to project
streams and ditches. The Parcel easement boundary will extend from top of bank to at least 30 feet
along streams, at least 50 feet along ditches, and out to 200 feet where possible (Figure 3).
UT1 flows north; it enters the Parcel and is then bordered by active agricultural fields to its confluence
with UT2. An area where scour has occurred is along the west side of UT1 upstream of its confluence
with UT2. UT1 continues through a narrow -forested buffer for approximately another 500 feet to meet
with UT3. UT2 forms from a groundwater seep at the confluence of Ditch A and a second ditch coming
from offsite, becoming an intermittent stream. An area where scour has occurred is along the southeast
side of UT2 upstream of its confluence with UT1. Ditch A and UT2 are bordered on both sides for their
entire lengths by agriculture fields. Ditch C becomes UT3, an intermittent stream, and flows southeast
through an active agricultural field to the confluence with UT1. The field bordering Ditch C and UT3 was
fertilized by a hog lagoon spray outlet until June 2021 when waste application in the area was
a Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel

discontinued to allow for this project's conservation easement. At the time the Proposal was written,
there was a small offline pond located near the confluence of UT3 with UT1 which is still seen on the
aerial photography, but it has since been filled. UT4 is an intermittent stream that begins off site and
flows into the easement from an existing culvert at Country Club Road. It flows north, surrounded by
crop fields, and continues off site. Ditch B flows east to its confluence with UT4, bordered by a
residential mobile home park to the north and agricultural fields to the south. The Parcel is
characterized by gently sloped valleys of agriculture fields.
In general, this area has maintained its rural, farming character over the last 60 years with only minor
changes in land cover (see historical aerials in Appendix B). The consistency in land use within the
project watershed indicates that processes affecting hydrology, sediment supply, and nutrient and
pollutant delivery have not varied widely over this time period. With a lack of developmental pressure,
watershed processes and stressors from outside the project limits are likely to remain consistent
throughout the implementation, monitoring, and closeout of this project.

2.3 Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Mitigation
On February 4, 2021, NCDWR assessed the stream origin and issued the official Stream Origin
Determination Letter March 16, 2021. NCDWR also performed an onsite visit of the project area to
determine viability for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset on April 15, 2021 and issued a site viability
letter on May 19, 2021. Eleven features were assessed by NCDWR during the April 15th site visit, four
features were deemed viable to generate buffer credits and three were deemed viable for nutrient
offset credits only. The Buffer Interpretation/Clarification Memo #2008-019 applies to Ditches B and C
where maintenance of diffuse flow into the conservation easement is unattainable. The reduction in
credit from the memo being applied is documented in Table 9 below and Figure 7. There have been no
changes to land use in the project area since NCDWR's 2021 site visits. A copy of both the "On -Site
(Stream Origin) Determination for Applicability to Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules" and the "Site Viability for
Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset" letters from NCDWR are included in Appendix C and summarized in
Table 3.

2.4 Alternative Mitigation
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 Parcel in the form of buffer preservation
of forested land on subject streams. The proposed project is in compliance in the following ways:
Preservation on Subject Streams (15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(5):
• The buffer width is at least 30 feet from the stream (See Figure 8 for buffer zones). The
minimum width of riparian areas on this site is 50 feet from top of banks.
• 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 (See Section 2.21 and Appendix D for an EDR Radius Report summary).
• Mitigation credits for preservation are being requested on no more than 25% of the total area of
buffer mitigation (See Table 9 for credit calculations).
2.5 Watershed Characterization
The Parcel is located within the HUC 03020201170050. All project features drain to Brooks Swamp off
site, which then connects with Thoroughfare Swamp. Thoroughfare Swamp subsequently flows to
Falling Creek and finally into the Neuse River. Brooks Swamp, Thoroughfare Swamp, and Falling Creek
are all classified as WS-IV and NSW by the NCDWR. Waters designated as WS-IV are sources of water for
drinking or food processing in moderately to highly developed watersheds. These waters are also
protected for Class C uses, which includes recreational use, agriculture, fishing and fish consumption,
and the maintenance of biological integrity for wildlife. The NSW designation applies to surface waters
that are experiencing excessive growths of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation.
Topography, as indicated on the Mount Olive USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle, shows gently
sloped areas throughout the Parcel (Figure 4). A portion of UT1, downstream of the project area, is
depicted as a stream on the USGS Topographic Map. Drainage areas were delineated using the USGS
Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel
HUC 03020201
Page 4
BPDP
March 2022

Stream Stats website and the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program's 2014-2015 Light Detection
and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Land uses draining to the project streams are primarily agricultural with some
wetlands and forested areas. The watershed areas and current land use around project streams are
depicted in Figure 5, the current land use photographs in Appendix A, and are summarized in Table 4
below.

2.8 Threatened and Endangered Species
The NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
Information for Planning and Consultation database (IPaC) were searched for federally listed threatened
and endangered plant and animal species in Wayne County, NC. One listed endangered species and two
species proposed for listing as endangered or threatened were identified: the red -cockaded woodpecker
(Picoides borealis), the Neuse River waterdog (Necturus lewisi), and Carolina madtom (Noturus furiosus).
Wildlands performed a pedestrian survey of the project parcel on January 7, 2021. It was determined
that there is no suitable habitat for any of the listed species; therefore, the project will have "no effect"
on the federally listed species. The USFWS Self -Certification Letter packet and the USFWS response
letter agreeing with the determinations are included in Appendix D.

2.9 Cultural Resources
There are no existing structures in the project area. The Parcel is not located near any sites listed on the
National Register with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). SHPO was contacted with request
for review and comment on January 29, 2021. SHPO responded on March 12, 2021 that they "are aware
of no historic resources which would be affected by the project" and have no comment on the project as
it is currently proposed. The SHPO request and response are included in Appendix D.
2.10 FEMA Floodplain Compliance
The Parcels are not located in a FEMA floodplain so a floodplain development permit will not be
required. No hydraulic modeling is proposed for this project.
2.11 Parcel Location, Parcel Constraints, and Access
The project area is split into two sections which are both easily accessible, one via a dirt access road off
Cox Pond Road and the other via Country Club Road. Within each section, there are no easement breaks
or internal crossings. There are multiple overhead utility easements on the project properties, all
located outside of the proposed conservation easement. The offline pond along UT3, upstream of the
confluence with UT1 shown on Figure 3, has been removed and covered with topsoil (See Figure 3 and
Appendix A).
The field north of UT3 and Ditch C was used for hog waste application until June 2021. The parcel has
been removed from the Waste Utilization Plan, the associated permit has been adjusted, and the new
plan approved by NCDWR. A copy of the new plan has been included in Appendix E for reference.
2.12 Other Environmental Conditions
An EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Parcel through Environmental Data
Resources, Inc. on September 4, 2020. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were
listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. There were no
known or potentially hazardous waste sites identified within or immediately adjacent to the project
area. The Executive Summary of the EDR report is included in Appendix D.
3.0 Site Protection Instrument
The land required for planting, management, and stewardship of the mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 7. The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its
entirety by an approved NCDWR long term steward, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an
approved NCDWR conservation easement.

4.0 Mitigation Work Plan
The project will restore agriculturally impacted land along UT1-UT4 and Ditch A-C on the Parcel to a
protected riparian corridor, improving the ecological function of the area. Figure 7 illustrates the buffer
credit areas and conceptual design; Figure 8 depicts the riparian buffer zones for the Parcel.
4.1 Parcel Preparation
The land within the project parcels has been cleared and maintained for row crop cultivation except for
the recently filled pond near the confluence of UT1 and UT3 and a small, forested area along UT1. Areas
slated for restoration will require little site preparation because the land has been cleared and
maintained for agriculture; therefore, soil disturbance during planting of the project will be minimal.
Along UT1 and on the downstream end of UT2 where sink holes or active erosion are observed, minor
grading will be completed, erosion control matting installed, and live stakes planted as necessary. The
disturbed areas will be seeded immediately for soil stabilization with a mixture of native grasses and
forbs.
Soil samples will also be collected and analyzed prior to planting to determine if soil preparation is
necessary to support herbaceous and planted stem success. Additionally, during the spring of 2022, the
condition of herbaceous cover prior to the establishment of row crops will be visually assessed across
the Parcel. If herbaceous vegetation does not appear to grow naturally, Wildlands will note the areas of
deficiency and seed them the following spring of 2023.
4.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Riparian area restoration will involve planting appropriate native tree species along the riparian corridor.
Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed over the first few years of tree
establishment in the riparian restoration areas to prevent encroachment of undesirable species that
may out -compete the planted native vegetation. Tree species planted across the riparian areas of the
Parcel will include a mixture of at least 8 species listed in Table 8 below.

Trees will be spaced at 7 feet by 12 feet during planting, which is equivalent to a stem density of 521
stems per acre and is sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B
.0295 of 260 planted trees per acre at the end of five years. At least 8 of the 11 species listed in Table 7
will be planted, and stems will be well mixed prior to planting to ensure diversity of bare root species
across the Parcel. Due to the nature of random mixing, some stems of the same species might be
planted together in some areas. No one tree species will be greater than 50% of the established stems.
A regionally appropriate seed mix of warm season grasses and wildflowers will also be applied to
provide temporary and permanent ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss
during rain events in areas without existing herbaceous cover. The proposed planting area includes the
areas identified as Riparian Restoration for Buffer Credits and Riparian Restoration for Nutrient Offset
Credits on Figure 7. Planting is scheduled for December 2022.
4.3 Riparian Area Preservation Activities
There will be no parcel preparation work done in the buffer preservation areas, as allowed under 15A
NCAC 02B .0295(o). The sections of mature forest along UT1 will be protected in perpetuity by a
conservation easement (Figure 7). No additional treatment or planting is planned for these areas of the
project.
4.4 NCDWR As -Built Evaluation
Within 30 calendar days after completing the establishment of the buffer mitigation and nutrient offset
areas, the Sponsor will submit written notification to NCDWR documenting that all buffer mitigation and
nutrient offset activities have been completed. Failure to submit written notification within 30 days may
result in a modified credit release schedule or a delay in the issuance of credit releases.
5.0 Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
5.1 Monitoring Protocol
Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be installed and evaluated within the restoration areas to
measure the survival of the planted trees. A total of 18 plots will be randomly placed such that the plots
are representative of the riparian restoration areas (Figure 9). The size of individual quadrants will be
100 square meters.
Vegetation assessments will be conducted and follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2
Protocol for Recording Vegetation (Lee et al., 2008). A reference photo will be taken from the
southwestern corner of each of the 18 plots. Overview photos will be taken each monitoring year and
provided in the annual reports. All planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded.
The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the end of the first growing season, at least five
months after planting has been completed and no earlier than the fall season. Species composition,
height, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot. The total number of volunteer
woody stems will also be documented and reported. The measure of vegetative success for the Parcel
will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species, where no one species is greater than
50% of the established planted stems, and an established density of at least 260 planted trees per acre
Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel
HUC 03020201

March 2022

at the end of the fifth year of monitoring. Appropriate and desirable native volunteer species may be
included in the Parcel's density to meet the performance standards with written NCDWR approval.
The Sponsor shall submit the annual monitoring report to NCDWR by December 31st of each year for five
consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the UMBI.
5.2 Parcel Maintenance
If the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in Section
5.1, adaptive measures will be developed and/or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented.
Maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have a high
likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include, but are not limited to, fire, flooding, drought,
or insects that cause excess tree mortality. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the
success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. A rigorous herbicide
schedule may need to be implemented in the first few years of tree establishment in the restoration
areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that may out -compete the planted native vegetation.
The only herbicides used on the Parcel will be aquatic approved herbicides that will be applied in
accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture rules and regulations.
The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities. Easement boundary
conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to
NCDWR. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must
receive approval from NCDWR prior to conducting any mowing activities within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of
the Neuse buffers to ensure that no buffer violations have occurred.
5.3 Easement Boundaries
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by marker, post, tree -blazing, or other means as
allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement prior to the NCDWR onsite As -Built evaluation
for Task 2 credit release. Boundary markers that have been disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be
repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. Contact information for the conservation easement
holder will be included on easement markers.
6.0 Financial Assurance and Long -Term Management
6.1 Financial Assurances
Following approval of the Cox Pond Bank Parcel Development Package, the Sponsor shall provide a
Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best. The
Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the project as
described in the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP), but not less than $150,000.00. In lieu of
posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit
release. In that case no performance bond will be necessary.
After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be
secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan but not less
than $100,000.00. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring
period for a term of one year and be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR
approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next years monitoring
period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with each annual monitoring report when
aCox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel
HUC 03020201
Page 10
BPDP
March 2022

applicable. NCDWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are
submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable.
6.2 Long-term Management
The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved NCDWR long term
steward, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation easement.
The long-term manager will be chosen prior to monitoring year 4 and will be responsible for periodic
inspection of the Parcel to ensure that the restrictions documented in the recorded easement are
upheld in perpetuity.
7.0 Potential Credit Generation
Of the 23.5 acres protected under the conservation easement, the mitigation approach for 21.6 acres is
riparian restoration. Of that 21.6 acres of restoration, 9.6 acres are proposed for buffer mitigation credit
and 12.0 acres are proposed for nutrient offset credit. Buffer preservation credits are also proposed on
0.27 acres within the conservation easement. The Buffer Interpretation/Clarification Memo #2008-019
applies to Ditches B and C where maintenance of diffuse flow into the easement is unattainable. Other
areas within the conservation easement where no credit is claimed include areas which are over 200
feet from top of bank, the project feature channels, and the area which is less than 50 feet from top of
bank along Ditch C.
The credit calculations were derived based on Wildlands' conceptual design for maximum ecological
uplift. The management objectives, mitigation type, and proposed amount of buffer mitigation are
presented in Tables 9 and 10 below. The riparian restoration areas are viable for either riparian buffer
credits or nutrient offset credits. However, on this parcel, Wildlands is seeking Riparian Buffer Credit
from areas within top of bank to 100 feet along UT1-3 and the west side of UT4. These credits can be
converted to Nutrient Offset Credits only upon receiving written approval by NCDWR. Wildlands is also
seeking Riparian Buffer Credit on the east side of UT4 where the buffer width is 30 feet from top of
bank, these credits cannot be converted to Nutrient Offset. Wildlands is seeking Nutrient Offset Credits
in riparian restoration areas from 101-200 feet from top of bank along streams and from top of bank to
200 feet along ditches. Riparian restoration areas dedicated to Nutrient Offset Credits on this parcel
beyond 100 feet will not be convertible to Riparian Buffer Credits per the UMBI. The total credit amount
convertible to Nutrient Offset is represented in Table 9 below and will be documented in the As -Built
Report. There will be three credit ledgers for the project: Buffer Restoration, Buffer Preservation, and
Nitrogen Nutrient Offset Credits.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation &Nutrient Offset- Cox Pond Site
120 Cox Pond Rd, Mt. Olive (near 35.234024, -78.079889)
Neuse 03020201
Wayne County
Dear Ms. Eckardt,
On March 22, 2021, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from you on behalf of Wildlands Engineering, Inc (Wildlands) for a site visit near the above-
referenced site in the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The site
visit was to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within a
proposed conservation easement boundary, which is more accurately depicted in the attached map
labeled "Figure 1-Site Map" (Figure 1) prepared by Wildlands. The proposed easement boundary in
Figure 1, includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of the mitigation site. On April
15, 2021, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with Wildlands were also
present. The site visit revealed the following site constraints:
• UTILITIES: A utility easement was observed crossing the site. The utility easement
shall not be within a conservation easement or within riparian areas where buffer
mitigation or nutrient offset credits are proposed to be generated.
• PERMITS: An Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) permit is associated with this property.
The permit associated with this property is#AWS960144 and allows for some or all the
property to be used for the land application of animal waste per an approved Waste
Utilization Plan issued by the DWR.
o Application of animal waste will not be permitted within a conservation easement
or within riparian areas where buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits are
proposed to be generated.
o All riparian areas proposed to be placed in a conservation easement must be
removed from the Waste Utilization Plan.
o Written approval by DWR of any modification to the existing Waste Utilization
Plan and/or the applicable permit will be required prior to approval of the riparian
areas to generate buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits.
• EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE: Existing underground and above ground
infrastructure may be present and is likely for purposes of irrigating the property for the
land application of animal waste associated with permit#AWS960144.

o No infrastructure or impervious areas below or above the ground will be allowed
to be within a conservation easement or within riparian areas where buffer
mitigation or nutrient offset credits are proposed to be generated.
o All infrastructure shall be mapped, including wells and hydrants. Written proof
of the removal of all infrastructure within riparian areas proposed to be placed in
a conservation easement will be required prior to approval of the riparian areas to
generate buffer mitigation or nutrient offset credits.
o Changes to any infrastructure associated with permit#AWS960144 will require
prior approval from DWR if they result in a change in the irrigation system
design for land application.
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 Top of Bank (TOB)
and landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703.

mitigation per 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(5)and 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(4). Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule.
3NC Division of Water Resources-Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer
Establishment
'Determinations made for this Site are determined based on the proposal provided in maps and figures submitted with the request.
5 All features proposed for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset,must have a planted conservation easement established that includes the
tops of channel banks when being measured perpendicular and landward from the banks,even if no credit is viable within that riparian
area.
6The area of the mitigation site on ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent(25%)of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 02B.0295 (o)(7).
7Landuses may also include the application of animal waste associated with an AFO permit
Determinations provided in the table above were made using a proposed easement boundary showing
proposed mitigation areas shown in Figure 1. The map representing the proposal for the site are
attached to this letter and are initialed by Ms. Merritt on May 19, 2021. Substantial changes to the

Subject: Cox Pond Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel
Wayne County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Matthews,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. requests review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect
to fish and wildlife issues associated with a potential riparian buffer restoration project on the Cox Pond Mitigation
Bank Parcel located in Wayne County, NC. A Site Map is enclosed. The site is located at latitude 35.237458
longitude-78.082288.
The Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel is being developed to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in
the Neuse River basin.The project will include buffer restoration along four unnamed tributaries and three ditches
that flow to Lee Branch. One existing off-line pond will be removed.This buffer mitigation project will reduce
sediment and nutrient loading, provide and improve terrestrial and in stream habitats, and improve stream and
bank stability.The area surrounding the streams and channels proposed for buffer restoration is currently row
crop agricultural fields. Restoring the vegetative buffer on the areas up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches
will remove the crops and fertilizer inputs within the project area.The restored floodplain areas will filter sediment
during high rainfall events.The establishment of riparian buffers will create shading to minimize thermal heating.
Finally, newly planted native vegetation will provide cover and food for wildlife.
The major goals of the proposed buffer restoration project are to provide ecological and water quality
enhancements to the Neuse River Basin by creating a functional riparian corridor and restoring the riparian buffer.
Waters of the United States 404/401 permitting is not required for this buffer mitigation site as construction
activities will only involve planting riparian vegetation and will not impact project streams or downstream
resources.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact us with any
questions that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.
Sincerely,
�v o

Project Name: Cox Pond
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information.An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally-listed endangered or threatened species.A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally-protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

12/14/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-00798
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species.As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect(i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally-protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect(i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan(http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html).Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service.Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis

Subject:Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel
Wayne County, North Carolina
Dear Ms.Gledhill-Earley,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. requests review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect
to archaeological or cultural resources associated with a potential riparian buffer restoration project on the Cox
Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel located in Wayne County, NC.An Overview Site Map and a USGS Topographic Map
showing the approximate project area are enclosed.The topographic figure was prepared from the Mount Olive
7.5-Minute USGS Topographic Quadrangle,and the site is located at latitude 35.237458 longitude-78.082288.
The Cox Pond Mitigation Bank Parcel is being developed to provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in
the Neuse River Basin.The project will include restoration and preservation of four unnamed tributaries and three
ditches that flow to Lee Branch.With the exception of one tributary containing a small corridor of established
forest vegetation on the downstream end,the streams and ditches onsite have little to no existing riparian buffers.
Most of the surrounding area of the project features is open agricultural land, used primarily to grow row crops,
both currently and historically.
The major goals of the riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation bank project are to provide ecological and
water quality enhancements to the Neuse River Basin while creating a functional riparian corridor at the site level.
This will be accomplished by restoring and or preserving the vegetative buffer on the areas up to 200 feet from
streams and ditches,along with permanently preserving and protecting the site through establishing a
conservation easement.
The nearest site on the National Register of Historic Places is the location of the now demolished Vernon Federal 2-
story house(WY0006) located approximately one mile southwest.This site will not be disturbed for the proposed
project. No other architectural structures or archaeological artifacts have been observed or noted during
preliminary surveys of the site for restoration purposes.We ask that you review the site based on the attached
information to determine the presence of any historic properties within the conservation easement area proposed
as shown on Figures 1 and 2.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact us with any
questions that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.

Waste Utilization Plan

Waste Utilization Plan
Producer: William Jackson County: Wayne
Name of Farm: Dexter Jackson 27 & 28
Location: 756 Country Club Rd.
Mt. Olive NC 28365
Phone: [phone]
Type of Operation: Feed-Finish
Number of Animal: 4823
Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon
Method of Application: Irrigation
Amount of waste produced per year: 9164 ton/year
Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year: 8199 lbs./year
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste
should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the
fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in the implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally
safe manner.
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are
established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils , when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not
allowed under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for
pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which

Dexter Jackson 27 & 28 Page 2
could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving
waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This
waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply
the waste in a timely manner.

Dexter Jackson 27 & 28 Page 3
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future,
regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that
addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through
grazing, hay and for silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine
inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity,
especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will
definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less
nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal
situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage
two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best
results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning
may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along
ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to
equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres
shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates.
The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients
or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 1736 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 8681 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming
you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 29
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 69
acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
application methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that
runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water
droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity

Dexter Jackson 27 &28 Page 4
of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of
the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and

Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the
crop is not over applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the
nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the
average of once every 6 months. 1n no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure
be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated
properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of
nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste , he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the
use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See"Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate that runoff
does not occur offsite or to the surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potentual for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residenrial property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393- Filter Strips).

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned
by he landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegtation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidences of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"which will eliminate the
possibility of an illigal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetation and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied pre-plant with no further applications of animal waste
during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and the bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Owner/Manager Agreement William Jackson
I (we)understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance proce-
dures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we)know that any
expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new
facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
before the new animals are stocked. I (we)also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste
from this system to the surface waters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24 hour
storm.The approved plan will be flied on-site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water
Conservation District and will be available for review by NCDWQ upon request.
