The 45.9-acre bank site is in the Cape Fear 05 Cataloging Unit (03030005) and is located along Stedman -Cedar Creek Road and John Hall Road in Cumberland County, North Carolina. The purpose of this letter is to request the second release of credits (Year 0/As-Built Monitoring Complete) for this mitigation site. Revisions were made to Cedar Creek Reach 2 design after the final mitigation plan was approved. A memorandum was provided to the USACE and NCDWR on February 5, 2021 describing these alterations to design and the corresponding changes to stream and wetland impacts. As the total stream and wetland impacts decreased from the original design and approved permit, no updated 401/404 was required. In the updated design, Reach 2 of Cedar Creek was split into two separate reaches with new channel dimensions and varying restoration approaches. Reach 2 begins at the confluence of Cedar Creek and T2 and gently meanders through the old pond bed with an average slope of 0.2%. A priority 1 restoration approach through this reach allows the stream to remain hydrologically connected to the existing floodplain and wetlands while minimizing earthwork in sandy soils. Reach 3 begins approximately 550 LF upstream of the original dam and has a slightly steeper slope of 1%. This short reach was designed with a priority 2 restoration approach where a new floodplain was graded through the old dam to allow the reach to connect to Cedar Creek downstream. This design shortens the overall length of priority 2 restoration on Cedar Creek Reach 2 by almost 1,500 LF. The revised design also significantly reduced the amount of earthwork and limited the overall total disturbance to natural systems on Site. Below are the credit release schedules from the approved mitigation plan (Table 1) and the as -built (Table 2) with description of changes.

Credits at as -built do not match the calculations in the Mitigation Plan or the Revised Wetlands Impacts Memo. Constructed streams match final design closely and credits were re -calculated using the final design centerline footage. As -built footage was not used for calculations because the thalweg chosen by surveyors often varied from the centerline causing streams to appear longer. Additionally, there was a miscalculation in the Revised Wetland Impacts Memo which has been corrected. Repair work on a pond dam along the western edge of the property resulted in a portion of the pond embankment being within the conservation easement. A maintenance area was added within the easement which is shown in the As -Built plan set and MYO report. This maintenance area will be periodically mowed, and trees were not planted. The maintenance area was deducted from the easement area when running the Wilmington District Stream Buffer Credit Calculator. The total credits in the approved Mitigation Plan were 7,512.00. The total credits submitted with this As -Built MYO report is 7,446.00. This is an overall project reduction of 66 credits between Mitigation Plan and As -Built. Monitoring year 0 (MYO) site assessments were conducted between August 2021 and March 2022. Overall, the Site is exceeding performance standards and on track to meet MY7 success criteria. All vegetation plots exceeded MY3 interim success criterion of 320 stems per acre on an individual basis and herbaceous vegetation is establishing itself across the site. Invasive species were treated prior to construction and lime was added to areas of acidic soil. Invasive species and acidic soils will continue to be assessed and treated as necessary. All project streams are stable, functioning as intended, and meeting project goals. Streams show only minor deviations from design. Groundwater well and stream gauges are installed and collecting data. Hydrology data will be included in the MY1 annual monitoring report. No easement encroachment or stream crossing issues have been identified in MYO. Pursuant to the Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument and the site -specific Dudley Pond Final Mitigation Plan, successful completion of monitoring year 0 activities and demonstration that interim performance standards are being met for all parcels within the bank grants fifteen percent (15%) of the mitigation site's total stream credits be available for sale. Therefore, we are requesting 1,107.00 stream credits be released, constituting 15 percent of the total stream credits (7,446.00) minus the 9.9 credit overpayment in the first credit release due to the reduction in overall site credits at as -built.

Appendix E Record Drawings Appendix F Revised Wetland Impacts Memo — February 5, 2021 Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 0 Annual Report Section 1: PROJECT OVERVIEW The Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site (Site) is located in the township of Cedar Creek in Cumberland County, approximately eleven miles southeast of Fayetteville and 7.3 miles north of the Bladen/Cumberland County line. The Site includes Cedar Creek and two unnamed tributaries, which drain to the Cape Fear River approximately 2 miles downstream of the Site. There are no current local or state watershed plans associated specifically with this subbasin. The project watershed is dominated by forested land and agricultural land but suburban sprawl from Fayetteville, Hope Mills, and Raeford contribute to a higher proportion of urban area than the remainder of the Cape Fear 05 subbasin. Three Carolina Bays drain to the project streams. Refer to Table 3 below for specific information on project location and attributes. 1.1 Project Quantities and Credits The Site is located on one parcel under one landowner and a conservation easement was recorded on 45.9 acres. Mitigation work within the Site included restoration of three perennial stream channels. The Wilmington District Stream Buffer Credit Calculator (updated (1/19/2018) was used to determine final crediting for the "Additional Credit from Extended Buffers" shown in Table 1 below.

Three sand bed, perennial streams are located on site: Cedar Creek, T1 and T2. Both T1 and T2 drain to Cedar Creek. The majority of Cedar Creek within the project limits was impounded since pre- 1951. The dam, now removed, was an 18-foot-tall earthen dam which failed during Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and again during Hurricane Florence in 2018. The drained pond bed developed riparian wetlands, similar to the rest of the site. T1 enters the site from an agricultural field and was a straightened and ditched channel. T2 flows through an in -line pond upstream of the project site and enters the conservation easement through a culvert on John Hall Road. The riparian buffer to the right of the stream was in row crop and the buffer to the left of the stream was sparsely vegetated until the confluence of Cedar Creek. Land use at the site had remained essentially unchanged since at least 1951 based on review of historic aerial photographs. The watershed has not changed significantly in land use or riparian buffer extents. Table 3 below and Table 8 in Appendix C present additional information on pre -restoration conditions.

The survey included developing an as -built topographic surface; as well as, surveying the as -built channel centerlines, top of banks, structures, and cross -sections. 2.1 Changes in Design and Grading After Mitigation Plan Approval Revisions were made to Cedar Creek Reach 2 design after the final mitigation plan was approved. A memorandum was provided to the USACE and NCDWR on February 5, 2021 describing these alterations to design and the corresponding changes to stream and wetland impacts from the approved 401 and 404 permits (Appendix F). As the total stream and wetland impacts decreased from the original design and approved permit, no updated 401/404 was required. In the updated design, Reach 2 of Cedar Creek was split into two separate reaches with new channel dimensions and varying restoration approaches. Reach 2 begins at the confluence of Cedar Creek and T2 and gently meanders through the old pond bed with an average slope of 0.2%. A priority 1 restoration approach through this reach allows the stream to remain hydrologically connected to the existing floodplain and wetlands while minimizing earthwork in sandy soils. Reach 3 begins approximately 550 LF upstream of the original dam and has a slightly steeper slope of 1%. This short reach was designed with a priority 2 restoration approach where a new floodplain was graded through the old dam to allow the reach to connect to Cedar Creek downstream. This design shortens the overall length of priority 2 restoration on Cedar Creek Reach 2 by almost 1,500 If. The revised design also significantly reduced the amount of earthwork and limited the overall total disturbance to natural systems on Site. See Table 8 in Appendix C for final design parameters. 2.2 As-Built/Record Drawings A sealed half-size set of record drawings are in Appendix E which includes the post -construction survey, alignments, structures, and monitoring features. No significant field adjustments were made during construction, modifications to design were made after the Mitigation Plan but before construction as explained in the previous section. The adjustments made during construction were minimal, where necessary, and were based on field evaluations. These adjustments are listed below. 2.2.1 Cedar Creek Reach 1 • STA 102+67 — Floodplain outlet added to help direct natural flow and connect to the channel. • STA 107+77 — Rock outlet added to ditch tie in for stream bank stabilization. • STA 107+90— Log sill with root wad was adjusted to accommodate ditch tie in. • STA 110+31— Log vane changed to log sill for grade control. • STA 118+52—118+73 — Riffle material added entire riffle length for stability. 2.2.2 Cedar Creek Reach 2 • STA 127+19 — Floodplain outlet added to help direct natural flow and connect to the channel. • STA 131+37 - 132+36— Brush toe added to stabilize stream bank. • STA 133+03 - 134+09 — Brush toe added to stabilize stream bank. • STA 137+13 - 138+10— Brush toe added to stabilize stream bank. 2.2.3 Cedar Creek Reach 3 • STA 148+44—149+09 — Floodplain outlet added to help direct natural flow and connect to the channel. Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 0 Annual Report 2-1 • STA 150+59 — Rock installed to stabilize existing floodplain drainage. 2.2.4 T1 • Constructed riffle was added upstream of conservation easement to stabilize stream before entering the project area. • STA 200+01— Log sill was added but silted over. • STA 200+36 — Confluence stabilized with riffle material where ditch ties in. 2.2.5 T2 • STA 300+00 - 300+09 — Left bank —The embankment was stable so rock was not necessary. • STA 300+00 - 300+18 — Right bank —The embankment was stable so rock was not necessary. • STA 300+29 — Boulder sill replaced with log sill embedded in rock. • STA 309+53 — Per direction of engineer in field. Riffle did not require additional stability. Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 0 Annual Report 2-2 Section 3: Monitoring Year 0 Data Assessment Annual monitoring and site visits were conducted during MYO to assess the condition of the project. The vegetation and stream success criteria for the Site follow the approved success criteria presented in the Mitigation Plan (Wildlands, 2020). Performance criteria for vegetation, stream, and hydrologic assessment are located in Section 1.2 Table 3: Goals, Performance Criteria, and Functional Improvements. 3.1 Vegetative Assessment The MYO vegetative survey was completed in March 2022. Vegetation monitoring resulted in a stem density range of 445 to 688 planted stems per acre which is well above the interim requirement of 320 stems per acre required at MY3. Average stem density across all vegetation plots is 627 planted stems per acre. All 26 plots met the interim success criteria individually and are on track to meet the final success criteria required for MY7. Refer to Appendix A for Vegetation Plot Photographs and the Vegetation Condition Assessment Table and Appendix B for Vegetation Plot Data. 3.2 Vegetation Areas of Concern Vegetation management and herbicide treatments were applied prior to construction in areas of existing forest to prevent the spread of invasive species that could compete with planted native species. Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and kudzu (Pueraria montana) were treated with herbicide below the mill pond dam at the downstream end of Cedar Creek in September 2019 and retreated in August 2020. Chinese privet and Japanese honeysuckle were also treated in the upstream end of T2 in September 2019. The kudzu was treated again in April 2021. Wildlands recognizes that multiple treatments are typically needed for effective invasive plant control. These areas will be monitored and treated as necessary. Soil testing was conducted in areas where herbaceous vegetation was sparse in September 2021. Soil in the areas that were once submerged by Dudley Mill Pond along Cedar Creek and by a beaver pond for many years along T2, were found to have more acidic soils than the remainder of the Site. Twenty-five tons of lime were applied to the areas with acidic soils along Cedar Creek and on the south side of T2 in October 2021. An additional 3 tons of pelletized lime was spread over half an acre of acidic soils along the north side of T2 in February 2022 to help support the establishment of herbaceous vegetation and planted trees. Wildlands will continue to monitor these areas. 3.3 Stream Assessment Morphological surveys for MYO were conducted in August 2021. All streams on Site are stable and functioning as designed. Streams show only minor deviations from design and visual assessments following construction indicate that streams remain stable. Cross -sections show entrenchment and width -to -depth ratios within an acceptable range of the design parameters, and bank height ratios are less than 1.2. Refer to Appendix A for the Visual Stream Morphology Stability Assessment Table and Stream Photographs. Refer to Appendix C for Stream Geomorphology Data. 3.4 Stream Areas of Concern No stream areas of concern were identified, all streams are stable and functioning as intended. 3.5 Hydrology Assessment Two crest gauges were installed, one on Dudley Pond Reach 2 and the other on T2. Hydrologic data will be collected and results reported during MY1. Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 0 Annual Report 3-1 3.6 Wetland Assessment Four groundwater gauges were installed within an existing wetland zone along Cedar Creek at locations requested by North Carolina Division of Water Resources. These gauges will be monitored with the purpose of assessing potential effects to wetland hydrology from the construction of the restored stream channel through this area. The results of this data are not tied to a success criterion. Groundwater gauge data will be collected and reported during MY1. 3.7 Adaptive Management Plan No adaptive management plans are necessary at this time. 3.8 Monitoring Year 0 Summary Overall, the Site looks great, is performing as intended, and is on course to meet success criteria. Vegetation plot data shows an average density of 627 planted stems per acre across plots. All vegetation plots are on track to exceed the MY3 interim requirement of 320 planted stems per acre. Herbaceous vegetation is establishing itself across the site and the floodplain is anchored. All project streams are stable, functioning as intended, and meeting project goals. Stream and wetland hydrology data will be included in the MY1 annual monitoring report. Invasive species were treated prior to construction and lime was added to areas of acidic soil. Invasive species and acidic soils will continue to be assessed and treated as necessary in future monitoring years. Summary information and data related to the performance of various project and monitoring elements can be found in the tables and figures in the report appendices. All raw data supporting the tables and figures in the appendices are available from Wildlands Engineering. Dudley Mill Pond Mitigation Site Monitoring Year 0 Annual Report 3-2 Section 4: METHODOLOGY Geomorphic data was collected following the standards outlined in The Stream Channel Reference Site: An Illustrated Guide to Field Techniques (Harrelson et al., 1994) and in Stream Restoration: A Natural Channel Design Handbook (Doll et al., 2003). All Integrated Current Condition Mapping was recorded using a Trimble handheld GPS with sub -meter accuracy and processed using Pathfinder and ArcPro. Pressure transducers were installed in riffle cross -sections and monitored throughout the year. Hydrologic monitoring instrument installation and monitoring methods are in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineers standards (USACE, 2003) and the North Carolina Interagency Review Team Stream and Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Update (NCIRT, 2016). Vegetation monitoring protocols followed the Carolina Vegetation Survey-EEP Level 2 Protocol (Lee et al., 2008).

The 47-acre bank Site is in the Cape Fear 05 Cataloging Unit (03030005) and is located along Stedman -Cedar Creek Road and John Hall Road in Cumberland County, North Carolina. The purpose of this letter is to outline changes that were made to the design and subsequent changes to wetland impacts at the Site. There were no changes to stream and open water impacts. The original pre -construction notification (PCN) form was submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineering (USACE) on June 4, 2020 seeking approval for the Section 404 permit for impacts to streams and wetlands. The 401 and 404 permits were approved on August 3, 2020 and July 17, 2020, respectively. The PCN documented a total wetland impact area of 9.493 ac. Impacts were due to channel relocation, floodplain grading, haul roads, and spoil areas. Wetland impacts mostly occurred along Cedar Creek Reach 2 where a priority 2 stream restoration approach was proposed for approximately 2,200 linear feet (LF). This approach involved gradually dropping the stream through an old pond and grading out a new floodplain where a failed dam used to be. The revised design splits Cedar Creek Reach 2 in two separate reaches with new channel dimensions and varying restoration approaches. Reach 2 will begin at the confluence of Cedar Creek and T2 and gently meander through the old pond bed with an average slope of 0.2%. A priority 1 restoration approach through the reach will allow the stream to remain hydrologically connected to the existing floodplain and wetlands while also minimizing earthwork in sandy soils at the cut depth. Reach 3 will begin approximately 550 LF upstream of the dam and will have a slightly steeper slope of 1%. This short reach was designed with a priority 2 restoration approach where a new floodplain will be graded through the old dam to allow the reach to reconnect with Cedar Creek downstream. Shortening the priority 2 section by almost 1,500 LF in the revised design has significantly reduced the amount of earthwork and limited the overall total disturbance to natural systems on the Site. The updated channel dimensions and grading can be found in the revised plans attached to this letter. In addition to stream design changes, a temporary channel diversion system is proposed along Reaches 2 and 3 during construction, instead of a pump around system. This will allow the 6.5 square mile stream to be built in the dry and prevent damage to the newly built stream during construction should there be severe storm events. The location of the channel diversion can be found in the revised plans.

Table 1 below compares the original and revised temporary and permanent impacts to wetlands at the Site and Table 2 itemizes the revised wetland impacts. All proposed stream, wetland, and open water impacts are displayed in Figure 1. There were no changes to stream and open water impacts, so those impacts have not been provided int the tables below.

Table 3 shows a comparison of credits. All Credit loss is in stream length on Cedar Creek (initially Reach 2, now Reaches 2 and 3).
