Thunder Swamp Phase II Revised Comment Response Memo
Date:
4/01/2022
CC: N/A
SECT/ON 1: INTRODUCTION
Memorandum
1. This section needs to refer to the "proposed" UMBI and needs to identify that this UMBI is made between DWR and
a Bank Sponsor. Identify the Bank Sponsor, who is EBX, and update the entire Plan to only refer to EBX and not RES.
Throughout the document, RES and EBX are used interchangeably, but it should only be the Bank Sponsor where it
is applicable.
Clarifying language has been added to the paragraph, as described. Also, "RES" has been replaced with "EBX"
throughout, where applicable.
2. Please also make sure the DWR Approval Letter for the Thunder Swamp Mitigation project for DMS is included in
the Appendix and that it is referenced in the introduction of the BPDP.
A sentence was added to the end of the first paragraph to state "The Thunder Swamp Buffer Mitigation Project
(DWR # 2021-0306v3) Mitigation Plan was approved by DWR on February 25, 2022. The approval letter is found in
Appendix E." The Approval letter was added to the Appendices as requested.
SECT/ON 4.4. EASEWENTBOUNDAR/ES
There is a note on one of the figures that there will be a future access corridor along DJ4. Need to include details
about what this "access corridor" is going to be, including widths, necessity of the corridor, passive or active access,
how will the crossing be utilized, any mechanical equipment, will it affect planted areas .... etc. Explain
To clarify, the original concept (Figure 6) had a callout for a "Future Access Corridor." This was unaffiliated with the
newly added internal crossing. The callout was intended to indicate that there would be space left along the edge
of the parcel that range from 30-50 ft. wide to be used as a future corridor to access the remaining parcel area to
the south, and so the easement shape was configured accordingly to exclude that corridor. This corridor already
has a dirt road along it and there are no plans for any changes to that existing road.
However, in the time since the Thunder Swamp Phase II Mitigation Plan was submitted, the DMS State Property
Office has provided a comment on the DMS Thunder Swamp easement shape to request an internal legal access in
the Thunder Swamp Phase 11 Bank Easement to allow legal access into the DMS easement. Therefore, a 30-foot wide
internal crossing has been added to the BPDP and all affected buffer/nutrient areas and calculations have been
updated accordingly as this area will not generate credits. Therefore, Table 6 and Figures 6 and 9 have been revised,
and language has been added to Section 4.4 to detail the internal crossing. This internal crossing is intended for
legal access only and would be intended as passive access only and therefore will be included in the planted area.
res.us

Also, this access corridor will need to be identified prior to the As -Built Report, before credits are released so that
DWR can be assured that no credit assets are affected ... and if so, adjustments made.
The access corridor is now incorporated into the final BPDP. It will also be on the recorded plat.
TABLE6THUNDER SWAMPPHASEUPROJECTCREDIT TABLE
4. DJ6 is an ephemeral channel and needs to be shown in the table as "ephemeral". DJ6 is shown as a I/P on the 3rd
row and needs to be separated out. The Figure that corresponds with this table does not show buffer credit off of
DJ6, so I'm assuming this mayjust be a typo. Explain
This was a typo. "DJ6" text has been removed from the 3" row.
5. DJ6 is shown here within 0-100' width, but it is also included in the total area in row 3 above within the same 0-100'
width. Explain
Due to aforementioned typo.
TABLE 7 CREDIT RELEASESCHEDULEFOR R/PAR/AN BUFFER AND NUTRIENTOFFSET
6. Add "Thunder Swamp DMS Full Delivery Mitigation Plan approved by DWR" to Task 1
This has been added.
7. Correct task 2 to read as follows:
..."All Riparian Earthwork & Mitigation Activities, Planting and Installation of Monitoring Devices completed for both
the Thunder Swamp Full Delivery Site and the Bank Parcel, easement boundaries adequately marked, all applicable
permits obtained . A site visit performed by DWR is required for this task.
Language has been updated accordingly.
8. MBI expectations requires the easement to be transferred by December 31 of monitoring year 2, therefore the credit
release should not be a full 10% for Year 2 Monitoring and that task should be dependent on the transfer occurring,
I have provided my suggestions based on this.
Table has been updated accordingly.
9. Move Task 6 to be Task 5; move task 5 to be Task 6. Make the new Task 5, 10% and Task 6, 10%. The goal here is to
put a higher emphasis on getting the easement transferred before the approval of the Year 2 report, since both
tasks should happen concurrently. I had originally proposed in the draft UMBI, that Task 5 & Task 6 be treated as 1
task rather than 2. However, I think it is cleaner the way you proposed it but with some modifications.
Table has been updated accordingly.
Please find enclosed the revised final BPDP submission with changes as noted above. Do not hesitate to reach out with any
question or comments. Jamey can be reached by email [e-mail] or by phone at 919-623-9889.

Notes:
Memorandum
In addition to addressing the following DWR comments, RES made two other minor revisions to the Thunder Swamp Phase
II Final BPDP. These include:
Easement was adjusted to smooth out an acute angle corner. This increased the overall easement area by 0.1 acre.
The new total easement area is 30.53 acres.
The above change resulted in an increase of the planted area acreage by 0.1 acre. The total planted area is now
21.38 acres, and the Upland Zone is now 19.98 acres. This is not a mitigation crediting area and does not result in a
change in number of vegetation plots.
The image at right depicts the easement and planted area change.
COVER
1. Project # is 2021-0306v2
This has been revised.
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
2. Add the DMS project's DWR ID# which is 2021-03060
This has been added.
'o-"
SECTION 2: EXISTING RIPARIAN CONDITIONS
3. Photos pre -date site viability assessment. include more up-to-date photos. drone footage is acceptable as along
as the pictures are timestamped
Several more recent photos (dated November 18, 2021) have been added.
SECTION 4: RIPARIAN RESTORATION, ENHANCEMENT, AND PRESERVATION IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
4. There is a small portion along the ephemeral reach along DJ4 that is less than 50' wide and therefore isn't viable for
nutrient offset credit. add language that speaks to this and adjust the crediting accordingly updating all figures
where necessary as well
Language has been added, buffer/nutrient polygons were adjusted, figures were updated, and credits were allocated
accordingly.
5. Commit to ensuring that stem species will be well mixed before planting to ensure diversity of bare roots across the
planted area.
The last sentence of the first paragraph in section 4.3 speaks to this. RES will make it a point to ensure proper mixing.
res.us

�J
6. Providers should take measures to ensure that plots are diverse (have 4 species represented as much as possible)
and where a species does not represent more than 50% of the plot. All plots need to be representative of the
planted diversity and density surrounding the plot and will be evaluated by DWR during the onsite As -Built
Walkthrough to ensure these criteria are met. All DWR comments provided on planting plan & monitoring are being
provided under the following Rule reference 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n)(2-4).
This is noted.
7. Where EBX feels it appropriate, add language regarding the requirement to provide notification to DWR within 30
days post site completion per the UMBI
A sub -section (Section 4.5) has been added, containing pertinent language.
8. Add language noting that these boundaries must be clearly marked prior to the DWR as -built site visit for the Task
2 milestone.
Language has been added.
SECTION 6. LONG TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
9. Since this isn't quite a definite option at the BPDP review stage, please add language that speaks to having a backup
if DEQ ends up not being a viable option.
Since the writing of the Draft plan, RES is confident that DEQ will be the long-term steward and are in direct
negotiation. However, the document has been revised to clarify that the easement will be held by an Approved
Conservation Easement holder and to acknowledge the fact that this has not been finalized.
10. Add language consistent with the UMBI language that the long term steward will be chosen prior to the year 4
monitoring period.
Language has been changed to Year 2 per conversations with DWR regarding the easement holder.
SECTION 8. PROJECT'S CREDIT POTENTIAL
11. Insert the following: In accordance with the MBI, Any Credit conversions must be calculated using the guidance
provided in the Clarified Procedures for Calculating Buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits letter issued
by the DWR,
This has been added.
12. This section may need to be modified after adjusting the measurements along the Ephemeral channels.
This has been revised.
13. Since it's been decided that this site will have an UMBI instead of a MBI, please add a credit release schedule specific
for this site.
A Credit Release section (now Section 9) and a Credit Release Table (Table 7) have been added.
TABLE 6. THUNDER SWAMP PHASE 11 PROJECT CREDIT TABLE
14. Ephemeral credits that are chosen for Nutrient Offset in the BPDP cannot be converted to Buffer credit in the future
due to the maximum allowable credit for buffers on ephemerals in the rule. Where text in the BPDP conflicts with
the numbers tallied in this table after corrections are made, correct accordingly.
Thank you for clarifying. The credit table and applicable language have been updated.
15. Include a row for the area <50' and check Yes for BUFFER and No for NUTRIENT.
This has been added.
16. Once measurements are corrected as indicated on figures, update the table accordingly.
Figures and credit table have been revised accordingly.

FIGURE 6: BUFFER MITIGATION & NUTRIENT OFFSET CONCEPTUAL
17. The measurements should be taken perpendicular and landward from the top of bank since thats the policy for
measuring credit potential except under special circumstances where there may be utilities or other site constraints.
Modify the width measurements adjacent to DJ7, DJ6, DJ4, DJ5, DJ3 and DJ2 to be perpendicular and landward, not
shown as a radius from the Origin points. Therefore, this will result in an increase in ft2 on Ephemeral channels and
a decrease in ft2 along the I/P streams where it applies. Adjust Mit Plan text, Figures and corresponding Tables
(including Project Credit Table) to reflect this change throughout the Plan.
Measurements have been adjusted accordingly. Note that these changes initially resulted in ephemeral channel
riparian buffer square feet to exceed the 25% rule. Therefore, to resolve the issue, RES allocated more 0-100 ft
riparian buffer square feet to nutrient offset in order to balance the ratio and satisfy the requirements. All revisions
are reflected throughout the Final BPDP including document text, figures, and credit table.
18. For the Enhancement & Preservation, add "for Buffer Credits" Correct other figures where this comment applies
Applicable figures have been revised.

Thunder Swamp Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package
Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset i April 2022

i INTRODUCTION
Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC ("EBX"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource Environmental
Solutions ("RES"), is pleased to provide this Bank Parcel Development Package ("BPDP") for the Thunder
Swamp Phase II Mitigation Project ("Project") under the proposed RES 2022 Phase II Umbrella Mitigation
Banking Instrument that is being made between the Bank Sponsor, EBX, and the NC Division of Water
Resources ("DWR"). This project is designed to provide riparian buffer credits and nutrient offset credits
for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Neuse River Basin, United States Geological Survey
(USGS) 8-digit Cataloguing Unit 03020201 (Neuse 01), excluding Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 1). This
Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Plan is in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule
15A NCAC 02B .0295 and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. The Project is being
codeveloped with the proposed Thunder Swamp Buffer Mitigation Project (DWR # 2021-0306v3) that is
contracted with the NC Division of Mitigation Services ("DMS") and will extend riparian areas associated
with the DMS project as well as incorporate additional stream features on the property. The Thunder
Swamp Buffer Mitigation Project (DWR # 2021-0306v3) Mitigation Plan was approved by DWR on February
25, 2022. The approval letter is found in Appendix E.
m Parcel Location
The Thunder Swamp Phase II Project is within the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit HUC 03020201, 14-
digit HUC 030202011170030 and DWR Sub -basin Number 03-04-12.
The Project is located in Wayne County in Mount Olive, North Carolina, just west of downtown Mount
Olive off NC Highway 55 (Figure 2). To access the Project from Raleigh, take 1-40 East to US-70 East. Then
take exit for NC-50/NC-55 toward Newton Grove and turn left onto NC-50 South/NC-55 East. Continue
and take the third exit at the traffic circle. Continue for approximately 16 miles and take a right into the
driveway adjacent to the Project, at address 680 NC-55, Mt. Olive, NC 28365. The upper reaches of the
Project will be in the fields to the right. The coordinates are 35.205212' and-78.095683°.
1.2 Parcel Overview
The Thunder Swamp Phase 11 project consists of a conservation easement that will total approximately
30.53 acres and is being codeveloped with the proposed Thunder Swamp Buffer Mitigation Project
contracted with the NC Division of Mitigation Services ("DMS"). The Project will extend riparian areas
associated with the DMS project as well as incorporate additional stream features on the property.
Thunder Swamp Phase 11 is comprised of portions of the Thunder Swamp main stem and several of its
unnamed tributaries. Thunder Swamp is a USGS-named stream that eventually drains to the Neuse River
(Figure 3). Current land use within the Project is crop production and riparian forest (Figure 4a). Much of
the Project area has been used extensively for agricultural purposes for at least 70 years (Figure 5).
Currently, the Project reaches and adjacent areas are in either crop production or forest. Water quality
stressors currently affecting the Project include heavily manipulated/relocated and maintained stream
channels, nutrient loadings from active crop production, and lack of forested riparian buffers. Current
buffer conditions demonstrate significant degradation with the loss of stabilizing vegetation because of
ongoing crop production.
The goal of the Project is to restore, enhance, and preserve ecological function to the existing streams and
their associated riparian areas by establishing appropriate plant communities while minimizing temporal
and land disturbing impacts. Buffer and surrounding riparian area improvements will filter runoff from
agricultural fields, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to Project channels and provide water
quality benefit to the overall watershed.
Thunder Swamp Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package
Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 2 April 2022

The Thunder Swamp Phase II project is composed of three ephemeral stream channels: DJ4, DJ6, and DJ7;
four intermittent stream channels, DJ1, DJ2, DJ3, and DJ5; and one perennial stream channel, Thunder
Swamp (Figure 4a). All streams except Thunder Swamp have clearly been straightened and are incised.
Four stream reaches (DJ1, DJ3, DJ5, and Thunder Swamp) were determined to be subject to the Neuse
buffer protection rules ("Subject"), whereas the four other stream reaches (DJ2, DJ4, DJ6, and DJ7) are not
subject to the Neuse buffer protection rules ("Non -subject"). Stream determinations were verified by the
DWR during a site visit on March 241", 2021. Correspondence regarding this determination is in
Appendix A.
Buffer mitigation and riparian area improvement efforts along the Project streams will be accomplished
through the planting, establishment, and protection of a hardwood forest community. The result will be a
riparian area that functions to mitigate nutrient and sediment inputs from the surrounding uplands. This
BPDP is being submitted for review under the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295)
and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0703). DWR staff performed a site viability
assessment for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset on May 271", 2021. This correspondence is provided
in Appendix A. In addition to traditional riparian restoration and enhancement, the Project will also
incorporate the alternative buffer mitigation options: Restoration and Enhancement on Non -Subject
Streams, as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(3); Restoration of Buffers on Ephemeral Streams, as outlined
in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(7); Preservation of Buffers on Subject Streams, as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B
.0295 (o)(5); and Preservation of Buffers on Non -subject Streams, as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(4).
As outlined in this BPDP, any areas of riparian restoration proposed for nutrient offset credit would rely on
nutrient offset credit calculations in accordance with the "NCDWR — Methodology and Calculation for
determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer Establishment." The Project will provide
significant functional uplift to the watershed. The Project credits will be derived from restoration,
enhancement, and preservation of the riparian buffer and surrounding riparian areas.
The riparian buffer mitigation credits and nutrient offset credits will be produced by establishing a native
forested and herbaceous riparian plant community and protecting buffers in perpetuity with a
conservation easement. The new plant community will be established in conjunction with the treatment of
existing exotic or undesirable plant species. For all stream channels, buffers will have a minimum width of
50 feet and a maximum of up to 200 feet from the edge of the channels. The riparian buffer mitigation
areas will entail:
• top of bank to 100 feet of Enhancement on a perennial stream;
• 101 to 200 feet of Enhancement on a perennial stream;
• top of bank to 100 feet of restoration on intermittent and perennial streams;
• 101 to 200 feet of Restoration on a perennial stream;
• top of bank to 100 feet of Restoration on ephemeral streams; and
• top of bank to 100 feet of Preservation on intermittent and perennial, Subject streams.
The nutrient offset credit areas will entail:
• top of bank to 100 feet of riparian restoration on ephemeral streams;
• 101 to 200 feet of riparian restoration on intermittent and perennial streams; and
• 101 to 200 feet of riparian restoration on ephemeral streams.
Notably, much of the proposed riparian buffer mitigation area is viable to be converted to nutrient offset
credit in accordance with the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule, 15A NCAC 02B .0703. Figure 6 shows

the Conceptual Design Plan for Buffer and Credit Determination Map, and Section 8 provides details of
the Project credit determination on the Thunder Swamp Phase II Project.
1.2.1 Parcel Ownership
The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this Project includes the parcel
listed in Table 1. EBX is under contract to obtain the property in fee simple and will then record a
conservation easement for the Project area within the property. The Mitigation Banking Conservation
Easement Template for Buffer & Nutrient Offset Sites (provided by DWR with slight modifications) will be
utilized to draft the site protection instrument. Once recorded, the secured easements will allow EBX to
proceed with the Project development and protect the mitigation assets in perpetuity. A finalized copy of
the land protection instrument will be included in Appendix B.

2 EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1.1 Surface Water Classification
Thunder Swamp has been assigned Class C and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW). Class C waters are
protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including
propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture. Secondary recreation
includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities
take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. NSW designation is intended for waters
needing additional nutrient management due to being subject to excessive growth of microscopic or
macroscopic vegetation (NCDWQ 2011).
2.1.2 Physiography and Soils
The Project is located within the Rolling Coastal Plain Level IV ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains
Level III ecoregion and is characterized by greater relief, elevation, and stream gradients compared to the
Mid -Atlantic Coastal Plain to the east. This ecoregion contains both dissected irregular and smooth plains,
and low to moderate gradient sandy -bottomed streams that branch from broad interstream divides with
steep to moderately gentle side slopes. The ecoregion also contains better drained soils and a slightly
cooler and shorter growing season than the Mid -Atlantic Coastal Plain; however, it is still a productive
agricultural region with typical crops of corn, soybeans, tobacco, cotton, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and
wheat (Griffith et al., 2002).
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) County Soil Mapping depicts five soil series across the
Project (Figure 7). All soils on -site are formed in loamy or loamy and sandy marine deposits. Thunder
Swamp is associated with a Bibb sandy loam series. Rains sandy loam is mapped adjacent to the Bibb
sandy loam and to the north and it is bisected by Lynchburg sandy loam, Craven sandy loam, and Wagram
loamy sand. Rains sandy loam and Bibb sandy loam are considered hydric by the NRCS, while Lynchburg
sandy loam and Wagram sandy loam have minor hydric inclusions. The specific soil map units are detailed
in Table 2.
Table 2. Project Mapped Soil Series
Bb Bibb sandy loam 90% Poorly drained A/D Floodplains
CrC2 Craven sandy loam, 6 to 10 0% Moderately well D Ridges

Ra Rains sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent 90% Poorly drained A/D Flats on marine
slopes terraces
WaB Wagram loamy sand, 0 to 6 5% Well drained A Ridges

2.1.3 Wetlands
The Thunder Swamp floodplain contains wetland forest and swamp; however, the jurisdictional boundaries
are not confirmed since this Project will not require a Jurisdictional Determination. The US Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) has mapped this wetland and classified it as
palustrine forested broad-leaved deciduous, seasonally flooded (PF01 C) (Figure 4b).
Thunder Swamp Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package
Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 5 April 2022

2.1.4 Landscape Communities
A. Existing Vegetation Communities
Current land use around the Project is primarily composed of row crops and forest. The row crop fields
directly abut most of the banks of Project streams, and the current crop in production is sweet potatoes.
However, small, disturbed areas of trees that are reminiscent of mixed-mesic hardwood forest (Coastal
Plain subtype) exist along some of the stream banks including sweet gum (Liquidambor styrocifluo), red
maple (Ater rubrum), water oak (Quercus nigra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), tulip poplar (Liriodendron
tulipifera), and sassafras (Sassafras albidum). Invasive species were noted in these areas and include mostly
Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), some Chinaberry (Melia ozedarach), and limited kudzu (Pueraria
montana).
As for the forested Thunder Swamp floodplain, the natural community has likely been disturbed by cyclical
beaver activity, as the community does not appear to be a climax forest, and it is not evident through aerial
imagery that the area has been cleared or logged in at least many decades. However, the footprints of
historic beaver impoundments are evident in the floodplain where there is significant lack of trees with
some areas almost devoid of any trees. With that said, the greater community type resembles a disturbed
Coastal Plain small stream swamp and includes trees and saplings such as swamp tupelo (Nysso biflora),
red maple, water oak, willow oak, black willow (Salix nigra), and silky dogwood (Corpus amomum), while
the shrub stratum is dominated by Chinese privet with some buttonbush (Cepholonthus occidentalis)
present. The herbaceous layer includes Pennsylvania smartweed (Polygonum pennsylvanicum), Nepalese
browntop (Microstegium vimineum), tearthumb (Polygonum sagittatum), false nettle (Boehmeria
cylindrica), and swamp rosemallow (Hibiscus grandiflorus). As noted in this species list, invasive species
include Chinese privet and Nepalese browntop, with dense Chinese privet in localized areas.
B. Riparian Vegetation
In general, the Project reaches do not function to their full potential. Current conditions demonstrate
significant habitat and water quality degradation with a loss of stabilizing vegetation because of impacts
from ongoing crop production. Throughout the Project there are also some invasive plant species.
DJ1 runs through crop field and then dissipates upslope from the forested Thunder Swamp floodplain.
Throughout the crop fields, the reach lacks a forested riparian buffer, barring a few individual mature trees
along the bank at the upstream extent. Some understory native and invasive species are also present in
this area around the base of the trees. Generally, the stream banks of DJ1 contain tall, herbaceous
vegetation and little to no woody vegetation. The current crop in production is sweet potatoes. At the
base of DJ1 where the reach dissipates, there is a small area of black willow (Salixnigra) trees.
DJ3 is a very short reach that has almost no riparian buffer barring a few mature trees along the banks
near its confluence with DJ1. The majority of DJ3 is captured in the easement for the DMS full -delivery
project and only a small portion is included in the bank. This reach also includes one or more significant
erosional features along the banks where mass wasting has occurred, thus compromising the immediate
riparian area.
DJ2, like DJ1, runs through crop field and then enters the Thunder Swamp floodplain. The left bank of DJ2
abuts crop fields and the riparian buffer condition is absent and mostly devoid of trees. There is a small
stand of trees off the right bank that contains mature hardwoods and some Chinese privet. Generally,
stream banks contain herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation, and the current in
production is sweet potatoes. As the reach enters the Thunder Swamp floodplain, the riparian area
becomes sufficiently buffered through mature forest, although Chinese privet is prevalent.

DJ4 is the ephemeral reach above DJ5 and runs through crop field. Throughout the crop fields, the reach
lacks a riparian buffer, barring a few mature trees along the bank at the upstream extent. Some understory
native and invasive species are also present in this area around the base of the trees. Generally, the stream
banks of DJ4 contain tall, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation. The current crop is
sweet potatoes. A portion of this reach parallels the edge of the Project parcel boundary, which is to be
utilized as an access corridor for the parcel. Therefore, some of the riparian area here will be excluded from
riparian restoration.
DJ5 is directly downstream of DJ4 and runs through crop field and then enters the Thunder Swamp
floodplain. DJ5 is surrounded by crop fields and the riparian buffer condition is absent and mostly devoid
of trees. Generally, stream banks contain weedy, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation,
and the current crop is sweet potatoes. As the reach enters the Thunder Swamp floodplain, the riparian
area becomes sufficiently buffered through mature forest, although Chinese privet is prevalent.
DJ6 is the ephemeral reach upstream of DJ3 and is surrounded by crop fields on all sides. There is currently
no riparian buffer present on DJ6.
DJ7 is the ephemeral reach upstream of DJ2 and is surrounded by crop fields on all sides. There is currently
no riparian buffer present on DJ7. Part of DJ7 and all of DJ2 are captured in the easement for the DMS full -
delivery project.
Thunder Swamp contains a wide, mostly forested floodplain with dense canopy coverage in most areas.
However, some areas have been previously disturbed by beaver activity. The beaver activity led to an
increase in standing water for an extended period within impoundment areas, causing these areas to be
sparsely covered by trees. In these areas, the riparian areas along the banks contain herbaceous vegetation
with little to no woody vegetation as well as a few mature swamp tupelo trees. There are also invasive
species including Chinese privet and Nepalese brown top throughout this area.
The current land -use at the time of writing this BPDP has remained unchanged since the site viability
assessment for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset, conducted by DWR on May 271", 2021.

3 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
3.1 Threatened and Endangered Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions
of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. According to the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAC) database review tool
(accessed March 1", 2021) and the self -certification process conducted by RES and submitted to the
USFWS on April 1st, 2021, the list of threatened or endangered species includes the Red -cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis). Two additional species on the list submitted to USFWS are proposed for
listing, the Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) and the Carolina Madtom (Noturus Furiosus). The
Thunder Swamp Phase II Project does not contain any suitable habitat for the Red -cockaded woodpecker,
the Neuse River Waterdog, nor the Carolina Madtom. A self -certification letter was sent to USFWS (on
April 1st, 2021). No response was received by USFWS. This consultation was conducted as part of the
Categorical Exclusion process for the DMS Thunder Swamp project and supporting documentation and
correspondence can be found in Appendix C.
The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires consultation with state fish and wildlife agencies when
"waters of any stream or other body of water are proposed or authorized, permitted or licensed to be
impounded, diverted ... or otherwise controlled or modified. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) was consulted during the Categorical Exclusion process and the NCWRC did not
comment on any state or federally listed species; however, they did recommend the use of biodegradable
and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices and to treat invasive species as part of the
Project. Documentation is included in Appendix C.
3.2 Cultural Resources
A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (accessed March 1"
2021) database did not reveal any registered occurrences within the Project area. RES consulted with the
SHPO during the Categorical Exclusion process and the SHPO had "conducted a review of the project and
are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project." Documentation is included in
Appendix C.
3.3 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/ Hydrologic Trespass
The southern portion of the Project, including the Thunder Swamp floodplain, is within a mapped FEMA
Regulatory Floodway and 100-year floodplain (Zone AE) (Figure 4b). However, no grading or earthwork is
proposed within this area, and the only activity to be conducted is planting trees. Therefore, no FEMA or
floodplain permitting will be required. Also, adjacent land use will not be affected by the proposed design
and no detrimental impacts are expected.
3.4 Clean Water Act - Section 401/404
This project will not impact/fill any Waters of the US; therefore, there will be no 401/404 permit required.
3.5 Additional Environmental Considerations
A limited Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed for the Parcel by acquiring an
Environmental Date Resources (EDR) report in February 2021. The report can be found in Appendix D.
Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal
environmental databases searched by EDR. There are no known or potentially hazardous waste sites
identified within or immediately adjacent to the project area.

4 RIPARIAN RESTORATION, ENHANCEMENT, AND
PRESERVATION IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Riparian restoration, enhancement, and preservation areas adjacent to streams are shown in Figure 6 and
mitigation types were approved in the DWR Buffer Viability letter dated July 131", 2021 (Appendix A).
4.1 Parcel Preparation
Preparation at the Project will involve spraying crops and exotic invasive species, applying soil
amendments, seeding native plants, and planting trees. Soil amendments will be provided across the entire
planted area based on the results of soil fertility tests. The soil fertility tests will be based on soil samples
collected within proposed riparian restoration areas across the site. A seed mix will be chosen to maximize
successful herbaceous growth in all riparian areas while also incorporating valuable pollinator species. All
riparian planting areas will be seeded using a no -till drill prior to tree planting. Temporary and permanent
riparian seeding, bare root plantings, and live stakes shall be planted according to the planting plan
(Section 4.3).
The limits of the riparian restoration areas will be surveyed post -planting and seeding, and the information
will be provided in the As -Built report and plat.
4.2 Methods
Riparian restoration, enhancement, and preservation along streams will be implemented to generate
nutrient offset credits and riparian buffer credits. All applicable areas were determined by the site viability
assessment by DWR (Appendix A).
4.2.1 Riparian Restoration Activities
The Project will provide riparian buffer restoration and nutrient offset in accordance with the Consolidated
Buffer Mitigation Rules 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n), 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(3) and (7), and the Nutrient
Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. Restoration and nutrient offset activities will include the
planting of bare root trees as described in Section 4.3. These restoration activities will begin from the tops
of the stream banks and extend a minimum of 30 feet from the stream outward to a maximum of 200 feet
perpendicular to the stream channel. Notably, there is a small portion of riparian restoration along reach
DJ4 that is greater than 30 feet but less than 50 wide and therefore is not viable for nutrient offset credit.
Restoration will occur where cropland is currently present or in the non -forested area along Thunder
Swamp. Furthermore, restoration will entail the permanent protection of the riparian area from cutting,
clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities that would affect the functioning of the buffer through a
conservation easement that will have clearly visible easement markers and signs (see Section 4.4 for
further description of the easement boundaries). All reaches within the Project will include riparian buffer
restoration and/or nutrient offset (Figure 6).
4.2.2 Riparian Enhancement Activities
Enhancement will take place in the partially forested area along Thunder Swamp where existing tree
canopy and diversity is inadequate and in accordance with Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC
02B .0295 (n) and the DWR site viability assessment (Appendix A). Enhancement activities will include the
planting of bare root trees as described in Section 4.3. These enhancement activities will begin from the
top of the stream bank and extend a minimum of 30 feet from the stream outward to a maximum of 200
feet perpendicular to the stream channel. Furthermore, enhancement will entail the permanent protection
of the riparian area from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities that would affect the
functioning of the buffer through a conservation easement that will have clearly visible easement markers
and signs. Thunder Swamp is the only reach that will include enhancement (Figure 6).
Thunder Swamp Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package
Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 13 April 2022

4.2.3 Riparian Preservation Activities
Preservation will take place in the forested areas within the Project where existing tree growth was
determined adequate, and in accordance with the alternative mitigation option of Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rules 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(4) and (5) and the DWR site viability assessment (Appendix A).
In addition, preservation activities will include treating exotic invasive species, specifically Chinese privet.
Furthermore, preservation will entail the permanent protection of the riparian area from cutting, clearing,
filling, grading, and similar activities that would affect the functioning of the buffer through a conservation
easement that will have clearly visible easement markers and signs. Thunder Swamp, DJ2, and DJ5 will
include preservation (Figure 6).
4.2.4 Other Activities
Other activities involved with the Project include minor bank stabilization efforts, including grading and
live staking where stream bank stability is compromised, such as erosional rills, sink holes, and gullies. Also,
some stream reaches contain dense thickets of greenbriers and grape vines along their banks that have
the potential to become a nuisance; therefore, some of these areas may be thinned and/or removed
mechanically if there is a threat to planted vegetation.
As mentioned earlier, this Project will be codeveloped with a DMS buffer mitigation project that will be
nested within the boundary of this Project and includes some of the same features as this Project.
Therefore, riparian planting and site preparation activities will extend beyond the limits of this Project's
boundaries to include the limits of the DMS full -delivery project.
4.3 Planting Plan
All riparian restoration and enhancement areas will be planted from top of bank back at least 30 feet from
streams with bare root tree seedlings on a nine by six-foot spacing to achieve an initial density of
approximately 800 trees per acre. Planting will occur in all areas proposed for riparian buffer restoration,
enhancement, and nutrient offset and will meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC
02B .0295. This includes treating invasive species and planting at least four species of native hardwood
bare root trees. To ensure tree diversity across the Project area, bare root trees will be well mixed before
planting.
For the majority of the site, Mixed-Mesic Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain subtype) (Schafale, 2012) will be
the target community type and will be used for all areas of existing crop field and field margins within the
Project. There will be a separate planting zone for the Thunder Swamp floodplain, which is a periodically
inundated wetland. The target community for this wetland area will be Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp.
These community compositions are highly diverse and are suitable given the Project's soil and landscape
characteristics and will provide water quality and ecological benefits. Ultimately, there will be two planting
zones and are designated as "Upland Zone" and "Wetland Zone." Notably, although bald cypress
(Taxodium distichum) is technically considered a softwood tree, it is included in the Wetland Zone planting
plan due to the significant wetness of this zone and the species' proven success at other stream, wetland,
and buffer mitigation projects with similar site characteristics in the Neuse 01 service area. The initial
planting of bare root trees will occur before Spring 2022. The list of bare root tree species to be planted
and their percentage of total species composition per zone can be found in Table 3.
Please note that the real compositions of planted trees may differ from this proposed list due to availability;
however, the procured trees will ideally be comprised of species from the list. With that said, the minimum
number of unique species to be planted in each planting zone across the Project will be seven. Wherever
possible, mature vegetation will be preserved and incorporated into the buffer. Some areas adjacent to
the forested areas may require maintenance due to the rapid regeneration of some species, such as red

Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 14 April 2022

maple (Ater rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambor styrocif(uo). The live stake plantings mentioned above
in Section 4.2.4 will consist of black willow (Solix nigra) and silky dogwood (Corpus amomum).
Planting areas covering existing agricultural areas will also be seeded with an herbaceous seed mix to
provide rapid herbaceous cover and promote immediate buffer effectiveness as well as habitat for
pollinators and other wildlife. The seed blend will contain both temporary and permanent seed and will
include taproot species. See Table 4 for the proposed herbaceous seed mix composition. The seed will be
sown utilizing a no -till drill.

4.4 Easement Boundaries
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Project and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means
as allowed by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundaries will be clearly marked with
signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-term steward
and a contact number. These boundary markers will be installed prior to the DWR as -built site visit in order
to satisfy the Task 2 milestone. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or
replaced on an as needed basis. The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring
activities and the conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual
monitoring reports to DWR.
This Project will be co -developed with a DMS full -delivery buffer mitigation project as mentioned
throughout this document and shown in figures. There will be a DMS conservation easement nested within
the boundaries of this Project that will also be marked appropriately. Additionally, an internal crossing to
provide North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Stewardship legal and specific
access to the DMS full -delivery buffer mitigation project will be included within the bank Easement
boundaries. The internal crossing will be passive and will not include an additional culvert or mechanical
access and the restrictions within the conservation easement will be upheld. This area will be clearly
identified in the field as described above and as depicted in Figure 6 and Figure 9.
4.5 Post -Establishment Notification
Within 30 calendar days after completing the establishment of the buffer mitigation and nutrient offset
areas, DWR will be notified, in writing, that all buffer mitigation and nutrient offset activities have been
completed. This will be in accordance with the RES 2022 Phase II UMBI.
5 MONITORING PLAN
5.1 Monitoring Protocol and Performance Standards
Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Riparian vegetation monitoring
where riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits are being generated will be based on the
"Carolina Vegetation Survey -Ecosystem Enhancement Program Protocol for Recording Vegetation: Level
1-2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.2". Annual vegetation monitoring will occur each year for a minimum of
five years and will be conducted during the fall season with the first year occurring at least six months from
Thunder Swamp Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package
Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 16 April 2022

initial planting. Monitoring plots will be installed a minimum of 100 meters squared in size and will cover
at least two percent of the planted mitigation area. The planted area is 21.38 acres, with 2.40 acres within
the Wetland Zone and 18.98 acres within the Upland Zone. There will be 16 vegetation plots measuring
performance standards in all riparian restoration areas. Two of these vegetation plots will be installed in
the Wetland Zone and 14 will be installed in the Upland Zone. These plots will be randomly placed
throughout the planted riparian areas and will be representative of the riparian communities as well as
both the nutrient offset credit areas and riparian buffer credit areas (Figure 9). The following data will be
recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems
in plots will be flagged with flagging tape.
The measures of vegetative success for the Project will be 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
upon written approval by DWR. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none
become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site.
Photos will be taken at each vegetation plot each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports.
Visual inspections and photos will be taken to ensure that applicable areas are being maintained and
compliant.
A visual assessment of the conservation easement will also be performed each year to confirm:
• easement markers are in good condition throughout the site;
• no encroachment has occurred;
• no invasive species occur in areas where invasive species were treated;
• beaver activity has not adversely affected growth or establishment of planted trees;
• 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 buffer.
A summary of project monitoring and maintenance activities can be found in Table 5.
Table 5. Summary of Project Monitoring and Maintenance Activities

reports. Beaver monitoring and management will continue through the
monitoring period.
Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction
between the mitigation project and adjacent properties. Boundaries will be
marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will
Visual include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries
Project Boundary may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means
Assessment 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.
5.2 Adaptive Management Plan and Project Maintenance
Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions taken if the site, or a specific
component of the site, fails to achieve the defined success criteria. Remedial actions will be designed to
achieve the success criteria specified in this Plan, and will include identification of the causes of failure,
remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring criteria that will consider physical and climatic
conditions.
Initial plant maintenance may include a one-time mowing, prior to initial planting to remove undesirable
species. If mowing is deemed necessary by EBX during the monitoring period, EBX must first receive
approval by DWR prior to any mowing activities to ensure that no buffer violations will be committed.
Failure to receive approval to mow within the Neuse River buffer, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0714 by
DWR, could result in Neuse River buffer violations and violations of the conservation easement. If
necessary, EBX will develop a species -specific control plan.
Thunder Swamp Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package
Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 18 April 2022

6 LONG TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
The long term stewardship plan for the site entails that the Project would be transferred to an approved
conservation easement holder. EBX intends to assign this conservation easement to the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Stewardship program. The NCDEQ Stewardship program
currently holds conservation easements for many North Carolina Division of Mitigation Service projects
(like the paired project for Thunder Swamp Phase II, "Thunder Swamp Buffer Mitigation Project (DWR #
2021-0306v3)") and is working to get approved as a conservation easement holder for DWR. The adjacent
nature of these projects makes NCDEQ a good fit to manage both easements. In the unexpected situation
that they are not approved, EBX will transfer the conservation easement to another approved easement
holder. EBX is the fee simple owner of the parcel on which the Project is located. Therefore, to disincentivize
long-term holding of the easement by an EBX-affiliated company for longer than is minimally necessary,
EBX commits to ensure that the assignment is completed prior to the end of the Monitoring Year 2 in
accordance with the RES 2022 Phase II UMBI. Additionally, EBX proposes a Task 5 for the assignment of
the easement to the approved holder. This task can be completed at any time leading up to the end of
Monitoring Year 2. It must be completed before any future credits are released as shown in Table 7. Once
approved, NCDEQ Stewardship Program would serve as the conservation easement holder and entity
responsible for long term stewardship of the Project. This party would conduct periodic inspection of the
Project to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. The NCDEQ
Stewardship Program is developing an endowment system within the non -reverting, interest -bearing
Conservation Lands Conservation Fund Account. The use of funds from the Endowment Account will be
governed by North Carolina General Statute GS 113A-232(d)(3). Interest gained by the endowment fund
may be used for the purpose of stewardship, monitoring, stewardship administration, and land transaction
costs, if applicable. An engagement letter is being prepared; however, as it goes through state approval
processes, email correspondence to document the NCDEQ Stewardship Program's intent to work together
with EBX and DWR is included in Appendix C.
The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage to identify boundary markings as needed. Any
livestock or associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility of the owner of the
underlying fee to maintain.
7 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE
The Sponsor will provide financial assurances in the form of Performance Bonds sufficient to assure one
hundred percent (100%) completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and monitoring, and any
remedial work required. Financial assurances will be payable at the direction of the DWR to its designee
or to a standby trust. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the DWR in the event of default
by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. The initial performance bond will be in the amount of at least
$150,000 and shall be able to cover 100% of the costs associated with construction of the riparian
restoration areas. The monitoring bond shall be in the amount of at least $100,000 and shall be able to
cover 100% of the costs associated with the monitoring and maintenance of the riparian restoration areas
for five years.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed to cover the next years monitoring period, with
confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each annual monitoring report when applicable. DWR
reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of
bond renewals when applicable.

8 PROJECT'S CREDIT POTENTIAL
This Project has the potential to generate up to 378,316.131 ft' riparian buffer mitigation credits and
provide 479,704 ft' (25,031.596 Ibs of N) of nutrient offset credits within a 30.53-acre conservation
easement as depicted in Figure 6. These will be derived from riparian restoration, enhancement, and
preservation. The credits generated will service the Neuse 01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake
Watershed. Also, some of these proposed buffer mitigation credits, where viable, can be converted to
nutrient offset credit in accordance with the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule, 15A NCAC 02B .0703. In
accordance with the UMBI, any credit conversions must be calculated using the guidance provided in the
Clarified Procedures for Calculating Buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits letter issued by the
DWR. Upon receiving written approval by the NCDWR, buffer restoration credits, within the 0-100-foot
zone, (294,613 ft') along DJ3, DJ4, DJ5, and DJ7 can be converted to nutrient offset credit, generating up
to 15,373.300 Ibs of N. The total potential buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits that the Thunder
Swamp Phase II Mitigation Project will generate were calculated using the DWR "Project Credit Table
Template (Updated October 2020)" and are presented in Table 6. Furthermore, Figure 8 depicts riparian
zones of 50, 100, and 200 feet from stream top of banks to demonstrate width requirements for crediting.
There will be three credit ledgers for the project: Buffer Restoration/Enhancement, Buffer Preservation, and
Nitrogen.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Jackson,
This stream determination supersedes the previous stream determination that was issued on May 6, 2021. This determination corrects the
stream segment DJ2 which was wrongly marked as subject. The feature DJ2 is not subject because it's not located on the two maps identified.
The Division of Water Resources has determined that the streams listed as "subject" above and included on the attached map have been
located on the most recent published (1974) N RCS Soil Survey of Wayne County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the Mt. Olive
USGS Topographic map at a 1:24,000 scale and evaluated for applicability to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules. For each stream that is checked
"Not Subject" it has been determined to not be at least intermittent, not present on the property or not represented on the most recent
published (1974) NRCS Soil Survey of Wayne County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the Mt. Olive USGS Topographic map at a

1:24,000 scale. There maybe other streams or features located on the property that were not assessed and/or that do not appear on the maps
referenced above but may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and subject to the Clean Water Act.
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 DWR may request a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) calendar
days of date of this letter to the Director in writing.

This determination is final and binding as detailed above unless an appeal is requested within sixty (60) days.
This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the buffers or
waters. The project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any inquiries regarding applicability to the
Clean Water Act should be directed to the US Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office at (919)-554-4884 Ext. 22.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Thunder Swamp Site
Mount Olive, NC (near 35.206059,-78.095569)
Neuse 03020201
Wayne County
Dear Ms. Webber,
On May 13, 2021, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from you on behalf of Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX), a RES company, 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 3b- Existing Conditions" (Figure 3b) prepared by EBX. The proposed
easement boundary in Figure 3b, includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of a
mitigation site. On May 27, 2021, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff
with EBX were also present.
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.

Note: Most of the riparian areas along
Thunder Swamp are inundated and
within an active floodplain making it
highly difficult to establish woody
vegetation (trees). It is likely that
vegetation planted along this reach will
be at high risk of low performance.
'Subjectivity calls for the features were determined by DWR in correspondence dated April 30, 2021 (D)VR# 2021-0020) using the
1:24,000 scale quadrangle topographic map prepared by USGS and the most recent printed version of the soil survey map prepared by
the NRCS .
2The area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
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.
'NC 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.
s 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.
'The 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).
Determinations provided in the table above were made using a proposed easement boundary showing
proposed mitigation areas shown in Figure 3b. The map representing the proposal for the site is
attached to this letter and initialed by Ms. Merritt on July 13, 2021. Substantial changes to the
proposed easement boundary as well as any site constraints identified in the table above, could affect
the Site's potential to generate buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits.
This letter does not constitute an approval of this Site to generate buffer and nutrient offset 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 .0703, 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.
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 .0703.
This viability assessment will expire on July 13, 2023 or upon approval of a mitigation plan by
the DWR, whichever comes first. This letter should be provided in any nutrient offset, buffer,
stream or wetland mitigation plan for this Site.

Sure thing.
The engagement letter has been drafted but needs to be run up my chain of command for approval. I plan to work on
that next week.
Katie and I had a good conversation this morning about the Stewardship Program status and the CE template. Please
check -in with Katie on her position on the DEQ Stewardship Program holding these easements. We are going to get to
work on the CE revisions but I will forewarn you this will probably take 45-60 days for Stewardship and DWR to agree on
revisions. After that the revised CE will need to be approved by the Attorney General's Office (this is standard for all
state held easements). I can't really give you a timeline on AG approval.
I hope this helps with your project scheduling.
Enjoy the snowy weekend.

Subject: Request for Environmental Information for Thunder Swamp Buffer Mitigation Project, Wayne
County, North Carolina.
Dear Mr. Hidlay,
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
proposed project description. Comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Clean
Water Act of 1977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
Contracted by the NC Division of Mitigation Resources, Resource Environmental Solutions has
developed the Thunder Swamp Buffer Mitigation Project. The 16.74-acre conservation easement site will
restore and preserve riparian buffer. Land use within and surrounding the project area is comprised of
row crop production and mature forests. The project area is located along NC Highway 55, southwest of
its intersection with West Main Street, west of Mt Olive.
The project area drains to Thunder Swamp in the Neuse River basin. Stream restoration projects often
improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing native, forested buffers in riparian areas will
improve both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species.
In addition to stringent best management practices for erosion and sediment control during construction,
the NCWRC recommends the use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control
devices. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting that is made of
natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Silt fencing and
similar products that have been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as they impede
the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have detrimental
effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs and clogging
of gills. Any invasive plant species found onsite should be removed and destroyed.

Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-01675
Project Name: Thunder Swamp
March 01, 2021
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location 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

03/01/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-01675 2
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/migratoDLbirds/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
of this office atjohn—[e-mail].

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 3 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesi, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

RE: Thunder Swamp Buffer Project
Dear Matthew DeAngelo:
Ray Cooper, Governor
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Walker Clark
Director, Division of Land and Water5tewwdship
NCNHDE-14090
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally -
listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

SEMS: Superfund Enterprise Management System
SEMS (Superfund Enterprise Management System) tracks hazardous waste sites, potentially hazardous waste sites,
and remedial activities performed in support of EPA's Superfund Program across the United States. The list was
formerly know as CERCLIS, renamed to SEMS by the EPA in 2015. The list contains data on potentially hazardous
waste sites that have been reported to the USEPA by states, municipalities, private companies and private persons,
pursuant to Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
This dataset also contains sites which are either proposed to or on the National Priorities List (NPL) and the
sites which are in the screening and assessment phase for possible inclusion on the NPL.

TC6372145.2s Page GR-2

GOVERNMENT RECORDS SEARCHED /DATA CURRENCY TRACKING
SEMS-ARCHIVE (Superfund Enterprise Management System Archive) tracks sites that have no further interest under
the Federal Superfund Program based on available information. The list was formerly known as the CERCLIS-NFRAP,
renamed to SEMS ARCHIVE by the EPA in 2015. EPA may perform a minimal level of assessment work at a site while
it is archived if site conditions change and/or new information becomes available. Archived sites have been removed
and archived from the inventory of SEMS sites. Archived status indicates that, to the best of EPA's knowledge,
assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined no further steps will be taken to list the
site on the National Priorities List (NPL), unless information indicates this decision was not appropriate or
other considerations require a recommendation for listing at a later time. The decision does not necessarily mean
that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that. based upon available information, the
location is not judged to be potential NPL site.

Brownfields are real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence
or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these
properties takes development pressures off of undeveloped, open land, and both improves and protects the environment.
Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) stores information reported by EPA Brownfields
grant recipients on brownfields properties assessed or cleaned up with grant funding as well as information on
Targeted Brownfields Assessments performed by EPA Regions. A listing of ACRES Brownfield sites is obtained from
Cleanups in My Community. Cleanups in My Community provides information on Brownfields properties for which information
is reported back to EPA, as well as areas served by Brownfields grant programs.

EPA WATCH LIST: EPA WATCH LIST
EPA maintains a "Watch List' to facilitate dialogue between EPA, state and local environmental agencies on enforcement
matters relating to facilities with alleged violations identified as either significant or high priority. Being
on the Watch List does not mean that the facility has actually violated the law only that an investigation by
EPA or a state or local environmental agency has led those organizations to allege that an unproven violation
has in fact occurred. Being on the Watch List does not represent a higher level of concern regarding the alleged
violations that were detected, but instead indicates cases requiring additional dialogue between EPA, state and
local agencies - primarily because of the length of time the alleged violation has gone unaddressed or unresolved.

The EPA has set ambitious goals for the RCRA Corrective Action program by creating the 2020 Corrective Action
Universe. This RCRA cleanup baseline includes facilities expected to need corrective action. The 2020 universe
contains a wide variety of sites. Some properties are heavily contaminated while others were contaminated but
have since been cleaned up. Still others have not been fully investigated yet, and may require little or no remediation.
Inclusion in the 2020 Universe does not necessarily imply failure on the part of a facility to meet its RCRA obligations.

When Congress passed the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, it required EPA to publish regulations and guidance
for chemical accident prevention at facilities using extremely hazardous substances. The Risk Management Program
Rule (RMP Rule) was written to implement Section 112(r) of these amendments. The rule, which built upon existing
industry codes and standards, requires companies of all sizes that use certain flammable and toxic substances
to develop a Risk Management Program, which includes a(n): Hazard assessment that details the potential effects
of an accidental release, an accident history of the last five years, and an evaluation of worst -case and alternative
accidental releases; Prevention program that includes safety precautions and maintenance, monitoring, and employee
training measures; and Emergency response program that spells out emergency health care, employee training measures
and procedures for informing the public and response agencies (e.g the fire department) should an accident occur.

An inventory of land and water impacted by past mining (primarily coal mining) is maintained by OSMRE to provide
information needed to implement the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The inventory
contains information on the location, type, and extent of AML impacts, as well as, information on the cost associated
with the reclamation of those problems. The inventory is based upon field surveys by State, Tribal, and OSMRE
program officials. It is dynamic to the extent that it is modified as new problems are identified and existing
problems are reclaimed.

EDR MGP: EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plants
The EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plant Database includes records of coal gas plants (manufactured gas plants)
compiled by EDR's researchers. Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800's to 1950's
to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture
of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production,
such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non-volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds
are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently
disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil
and groundwater contamination.

EDR's GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum is provided to assist the environmental professional in
forming an opinion about the impact of potential contaminant migration.
Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components:
1. Groundwater flow direction, and
2. Groundwater flow velocity.
Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics
of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the
geologic strata.
TC6372145.2s Page A-1

GEOCHECK® - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY
GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION
Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site -specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other
sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data
collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers).
TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to
assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or,
should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

HYDROLOGIC INFORMATION
Surface water can act as a hydrologic barrier to groundwater flow. Such hydrologic information can be used to assist
the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should
contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

Hydrogeologic information obtained by installation of wells on a specific site can often be an indicator
of groundwater flow direction in the immediate area. Such hydrogeologic information can be used to assist the
environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should
contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.
AQUIFLOW®
Search Radius: 1.000 Mile.
EDR has developed the AQUIFLOW Information System to provide data on the general direction of groundwater
flow at specific points. EDR has reviewed reports submitted by environmental professionals to regulatory
authorities at select sites and has extracted the date of the report, groundwater flow direction as determined
hydrogeologically, and the depth to water table.

GROUNDWATER FLOW VELOCITY INFORMATION
Groundwater flow velocity information for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site specific geologic and soil strata data. If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary
to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil
characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general, contaminant plumes
move more quickly through sandy -gravelly types of soils than silty -clayey types of soils.
GEOLOGIC INFORMATION IN GENERAL AREA OF TARGET PROPERTY
Geologic information can be used by the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the relative speed
at which contaminant migration may be occurring.

Re: Thunder Swamp Riparian Buffer Mitigation Plan Approval (DMS ID4100181)
Dear Sirs,
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) received a draft Mitigation Plan (Plan) from the Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS) for the Thunder Swamp site (Site) in 2021. The Plan was submitted to
DWR for review and approval under 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to be used primarily as a buffer mitigation
project and also under 15A NCAC 02B .0703 in order to have the flexibility to convert buffer credits
to nutrient offset credits if needed. DWR reviewed the Plan and provided comments and
recommendations. DMS submitted a revised Plan that addressed all comments and recommendations
provided by DWR. The table below summarizes the timeline of the Plan:
