This buffer project is designed to provide riparian buffer mitigation 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 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. Li Project Overview The Carraway Bluff Project consists of a 25.34-acre conservation easement and the following features:the Neuse River, five stream features (Carraway Creek, BH1, BH2, BH3, and BH4) and one ditch feature (D4). Carraway Creek is a USGS-named stream that drains to the Neuse River within the Project Area.This Project will be co-developed with a buffer mitigation and nutrient offset bank that will extend riparian buffer and riparian areas associated with this Project's streams as well as incorporate three additional ditch features on the property, ditch D6, D3 and D5. D3 drains into both BH1 and BH2 whereas D5 drains into BH3. Therefore, the realized riparian buffer mitigation areas for some stream features will be larger and additional features will be included. Current land use within the Project is primarily row crop production and riparian forest(Figure 2). Much of the Project area has been used extensively for agricultural purposes for at least 70 years with areas of timbering in the 50s and then again in early 1998 (Figure 3a and 3b). Currently, the Project streams and ditch, 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 loading from active crop production, and a lack of forested riparian buffers. Current buffer conditions demonstrate significant degradation with the loss of stabilizing vegetation because of continued crop production. The goal of the Project is to restore and preserve riparian buffers and 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. The Project easement can be accessed by Genoa Road (Figure 4).The Carraway Bluff Project consisting of both perennial and intermittent features, include the Neuse River, Carraway Creek, five unnamed stream features (BH1, BH2, BH3, and BH4) and one ditch feature (D4) (Figure 2). Carraway Creek is a named tributary of the Neuse River with a partially intact riparian buffer, while its tributaries, BH1, BH2, BH3 and BH4 are modified natural stream channels that lack any riparian buffer. Furthermore, the fifty-foot riparian buffers of BH1 and BH2 were determined to be subject to the Neuse buffer protection rules (Subject); the fifty-foot riparian buffers of BH3 and BH4 were determined to be not subject to the Neuse buffer protection rules (Non-subject); stream determinations were verified by the DWR site visit on March 24, 2021. Correspondence regarding this determination is in Appendix A. Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 3 May 2022 Buffer and riparian area mitigation efforts along the Project streams and ditches 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. The buffer mitigation plan proposed 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. In addition to traditional riparian restoration, the Project will also incorporate the alternative buffer mitigation option: Preservation of Buffers on Subject Streams,as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B.0295(o)(5)and buffer restoration on ditches as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B.0295 (o) (8). DWR staff performed an onsite stream determination on March 24, 2021, and a buffer viability assessment for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset on July 29th, 2021. These correspondences are provided in Appendix A. The Project will provide significant functional uplift to the watershed and will assist DMS with achieving its mitigation goals in the Neuse 01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. The Project presents the opportunity to provide up to 639,413.692 ft2 (14.67 acres) of riparian buffer mitigation credits. These will be derived from restoration and preservation of the riparian buffer and surrounding riparian areas. Project attributes are summarized in Table 1. Table 1.

For stream channels,the buffer mitigation area will have a minimum width of 50 feet and a maximum of 200 feet from the edge of the channels. These will be derived from 658,339 ft2 (15.11 acres) feet of buffer Restoration; and 60,429 (1.38 acres) of buffer Preservation. For ditch channels, the mitigation area will be a width of 50 feet from the edge of the channel. These will be derived from 28,788 ft2 (0.66 acres) from the top of bank Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 4 May 2022 to 50 feet of Restoration. The new plant community will be established in conjunction with the treatment of any existing exotic or undesirable plant species. Figure 5 depicts the Conceptual Design Plan for Buffer and Credit Determination, and Section 2.1 provides details of the mitigation determination on the Carraway Bluff Project. 1.1.1 Parcel Ownership The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this Project includes the parcel listed in Table 2. EBX, LLC (an entity of RES) will record a conservation easement from the current landowner. The easement deed and survey plat will be submitted to DMS and the State Property Office (SPO) for approval and are held by the State of North Carolina. The easement deed will follow the DMS Full Delivery Conservation Easement Template dated May 5, 2017 and are included in Appendix B. The recorded easement will allow EBX, LLC 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. Table 2.

The Project is located in Wayne County, approximately five miles south of downtown Goldsboro, off of Highway 117 (Figure 1). To access the Project from Goldsboro, head South on US 70 Business and merge onto US-177 South for approximately 4.5 miles. Then turn left onto Old Mt Olive Highway, and drive approximately 1.2 miles.Then turn left onto Genoa Road,for about a half a mile, then turn left onto Robert Avenue. The coordinates are 35.3280007, -78.010718. 1.3 Existing Conditions 1.3.1 Surface Water Classification Carraway Creek and the Neuse River have both 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). 1.3.2 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 Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 5 May 2022 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 Project area is generally a very flat floodplain of the Neuse River with mostly gentle side slopes that are dissected by drainages with elevations ranging from 50-feet to 80-feet (Figure 6a and 6b). 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. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS, 2021) depicts eight soil series across the Project (Figure 7). The Project has Chewacla loam, Johns sandy loam, Kalmia loamy sand, 0 to 2 percent slopes, Kinston loam, Lumbee sandy loam, Torhunta loam, Wagram loamy sand, 0 to 6 percent slopes, and Wickham sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes, eroded. The soil characteristics of all soils within the Project are summarized in Table 3. Table 3.

A palustrine forested broad-leaved deciduous, temporarily flooded (PFO1A) wetland encompasses most of the northern and southern portions of the Project, with a small section of wetland Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 6 May 2022 in the middle. A palustrine forested broad-leaved deciduous, seasonally flooded (PFO1C) wetland occurs along the north and middle eastern boundaries of the Project. 1.3.4 Landscape Communities A. Existing Vegetation Communities Currently, within the project area there is both cropland and forest. The cropland areas consist of a vegetative cover is primarily comprised of fields of soybean crops. The less disturbed forested floodplain along the right bank and some of the left bank of Carraway Creek(and the thin row along the Neuse River) resembles a riverine swamp forest; however, due to croplands and ditching along the left bank of Carraway Creek within the Project boundary, the natural hydrology and vegetation has been disturbed and displays species more consistent with a mixed-mesic hardwood forest (Coastal Plain subtype). This area includes trees and saplings such as red maple, overcup oak, river birch, sweet bay, white oak (Quercus alba), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), pond cypress (Taxodium ascendens), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), and American elm (Ulmus americana). The herbaceous layer includes muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica). Invasive species were noted in these areas and include mostly Japanese stilt-grass (microstegium vimineum) and Chinaberry (Melia azedarach). B. Riparian Vegetation Carraway Bluff Project Area is comprised of the Neuse River, Carraway Creek, three unnamed stream features (BH1, BH2, BH3 and BH4) and one ditch feature (D4). 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 as a result of impacts from ongoing crop production and forestry. Specifically, there were two main tracts of forest on the parcel that were cleared sometime in the 50s and were kept in agriculture through the 60's and then again in January or February of 1998 and (Figures 3a and 3b and Figure 2b). The timbering in 1998 would have been in violation of the Neuse Buffer rules on subject streams. Riparian vegetation conditions onsite currently consist of mature riparian forest and active row crops. On the Neuse River, serving as the northernmost portion of the project, the riparian vegetation consists of A narrow band of mature riparian vegetation, and active row crops. Additionally, there is a 20-foot wide sewer easement located within the riparian buffer that was delineated by a Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Manager using a Ground Penetrating Radar to delineate the easement (Figure 2A). The sewer easement is within Zone 1 of the Riparian Buffer(Figure 9). Carraway Creek, serving as the easternmost portion of the Project, consists of mature riparian area that extends beyond the limits of the easement on its right bank. Mature riparian areas along the left bank are narrow and abut active crop fields. Some areas along the left bank contain weedy, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation. There are localized areas along the left bank where eroded meander bends have migrated into the adjacent agricultural fields. There were some areas along Carraway Creek that were timbered in 1998 but they were not within the 50 foot Neuse Riparian Buffer at the time the Buffer rules went into effect. From historical imagery (Figures 3a and 3b), it appears that the downstream portion of Carraway Creek has widened and braided since the buffer rules went into effect from backwater Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 7 May 2022 effects of the Neuse River, especially within the past 20 years with increased inundation from the Neuse River during flooding events. BH1,the stream on the western side of the project,consists of a modified natural stream and is channelized and maintained to promote drainage for crop production. An unbuffered agricultural ditch, Ditch D3, drains into the stream from the north; however, the ditch is too deep to be viable for buffer mitigation according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (8) and is therefore excluded from our Project but will be contained within the Bank Project. This area contains some mature trees along the top of bank but mainly consists of small, planted woody vegetation along the left bank. Invasive species include Chinese privet and Chinaberry. The upper most section of BH1 that flows North to South abuts a Conservation Easement of recently closed out Buffer and Nutrient Project with NCDWR along the left bank. The right bank however has no riparian buffer. The Neuse Buffers on the right bank of BH1 at the top of the reach were impacted from timbering in 1998 and would have been in violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules (Appendix A). Once the stream makes an abrupt turn to the east through the crop fields, the reach has no riparian buffer on either bank. After about 200 feet, the riparian buffers were not intact at the time the Neuse Buffer Rules went into effect as there was a cleared road along the right bank of the stream from the top of bank out 40—50 feet that was mostly likely used to maintain the stream. Generally,the stream banks of BH1 contain tall, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation. The current crop in production is soybean. Where BH1 enters the Carraway Creek floodplain, the riparian area becomes sufficiently buffered through mature forest. However, portions of buffer along this downstream portion of BH1 are not viable for buffer credit, due to timbering in 1998 that would have been in violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules (Appendix A and Figure 5). In the forested area at the most downstream limit of BH1,there are invasive species(Chinese privet) present along the. BH2, the tributary stream on the western side of the project, like BH1, the reach is a modified natural stream that has been channelized and maintained to promote drainage for crop production and flows eastward through cropland until meeting the Carraway Creek floodplain.At the origin point until BH2 turns abruptly right to cross the field, the left bank of BH2 abuts a Conservation Easement of recently closed out Buffer and Nutrient Project with NCDWR. Both banks within the project area abut active crop fields, and the riparian buffer condition is absent and devoid of trees or woody vegetation. Generally, stream banks contain weedy, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation.The current crop within the fields is soybean. As the reach enters the Carraway Creek floodplain, the riparian area becomes sufficiently buffered through mature forest, although the invasive species, Chinese privet, is present along the forest edge. Similar to BH1, prior to the 1998 timbering the forested buffer of the Carraway Creek floodplain extended further west, or upstream along BH2. BH3, on the southern portion of the project, consists of a modified natural stream. BH3 has been channelized and maintained to promote drainage for crop production and flows north through cropland until the confluence with BH1. Both banks are surrounded by active crop fields and the riparian buffer condition is absent.Stream banks contain some maintained, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation. BH3 flows east to west in the upstream section and then makes an abrupt turn north through a collapsed culvert and continues flowing towards the confluence with BH1. Similar to BH1, the left bank Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 8 May 2022 of BH3 was forested prior to the timbering in 1998, however this stream was considered not subject to the buffer rules and therefore the timber activities were not a violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules. BH4, on the most southern border of the project has an origin point outside of the project area where it transitions from ditch to an intermittent stream, and drains to Carraway Creek. Both sides of BH4 were forested at baseline and then the left bank was timbered in 1998.The left bank is non forested agricultural fields whereas the right bank remains forested.And similar to BH3, this stream was considered not subject to the buffer rules and therefore was not a violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules. D4 is a ditch feature and consists of weedy, herbaceous vegetation and completely lacks a forested riparian area on the left bank.The right bank contains some larger trees but consists mostly of small planted stems from the adjacent closed out nutrient and buffer project.The crop fields extend to the top of the left bank of the feature. The current land use and riparian vegetation conditions at the time of writing this final buffer mitigation have remained unchanged since the site viability assessment conducted by DWR on July 29t', 2021. 1.3.5 Existing Conditions Photos r f' i ' : 1: ' 0 lit .

These will be derived from buffer restoration and buffer preservation.The riparian buffer mitigation credits generated will service the Neuse 01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. Additionally, some of these 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 (see Figure 8 and Table 4).The total potential buffer mitigation credits that the Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project will generate and the detailed Project credit breakdown, including buffer credits that are convertible to nutrient offset credit, utilizing the DWR"Project Credit Table Template (Updated February 2022)," is presented in Table 4. In addition, Figure 8 depicts buffer restoration areas that are convertible to nutrient offset credit.This total area that is convertible to nutrient offset amounts to 271,707 ft2 (6.23 acres) which would deliver 14,178.034 lbs of Nitrogen offset. Furthermore, Figure 9 depicts riparian zones of 50, 100, and 200 feet from stream top of banks to demonstrate width requirements for crediting. There are small areas along Carraway Creek that will be included as Preservation Credits. The area of preservation credit within this 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) as shown in Table 4. Due to clearing within zone 1 and 2 of the Neuse Riparian Buffer of subject streams in areas along Carraway Creek, BH1 and BH2 in early 1998, after the adoption of the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rule (15 NCAC 02B .0714), restoration is not viable within a few small areas along these streams. To determine where these areas are located, the historic top of bank, from 1997, of Carraway Creek, BH2 and BH1 was utilized to determine the 50-ft Neuse Riparian Buffer and where clearing had occurred.These areas were also marked and clearly defined in the site viability letter dated October 22nd and found in Appendix A. These areas have been excluded from riparian buffer restoration crediting and can be seen in Figure 5. However, these areas will be treated as riparian restoration areas and will be planted as such. An additional area has been cut out of crediting along the Neuse River due to the location of a 20-foot wide sewer easement that runs parallel to the Neuse River. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (1)(4), since the sewer easement is Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 11 May 2022 located within Zone 1, the area within the sewer easement will not be suitable for buffer mitigation credit. The sewer easement will be maintained in the condition that meets the vegetative requirement of the collection system permit.

The ditch feature meets criteria for riparian buffer restoration according to Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (8) in the following ways: (A) D4 drains directly to reach BH2, an intermittent stream. (B) The stream (BH2) and D4, including their confluence, will be protected by a contiguous, perpetual conservation easement that will prevent any future maintenance or manipulation of the ditches. (C) Stormwater runoff and overland flow drain toward the ditches. (D) D4 is a maximum of 2.9 feet deep which is between one and three feet in depth (as measured before and during the DWR buffer viability site visit). (E) The entire length of each ditch has been in place prior to the effective date of the Neuse Buffer Rule (see Figure 3b). Additionally, the watershed (DA) draining to the ditch was delineated (Figure 6a) and determined to be at least four times (multiplier of 4) larger than the restored area along their corresponding ditches, as expressed in the following calculations: • D4: (10.09 ac. DA)/ (0.69 ac. restored area) = 14.62 multiplier Although, another ditch feature (D3) enters the DMS project easement, it will be wholly encompassed in the adjacent buffer mitigation and nutrient offset bank and therefore no non-diffused flow will enter the project (Figure 5). 2.2 Other regulatory considerations 2.2.1 Environmental Screening and Documentation Because DMS mitigation projects are a category of activities that do not individually or cumulatively have an impact on the human environment, they do not require preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement.To ensure that a project meets the"Categorical Exclusion" criteria,the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) and NCDMS have developed a categorical exclusion (CE) checklist that is included as part of each mitigation project's Environmental Screening process. The CE Approval Form for the Carraway Bluff Project is included in Appendix C and was approved by DMS and FHWA in May 2021. 2.2.2 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 February 18th, 2021) and the self-certification process conducted by RES and submitted to the USFWS on March 25th, 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 newly listed, the Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) and the Carolina Madtom (Noturus Furiosus). The Carraway Bluff Project does not contain any suitable habitat for the Red-cockaded woodpecker nor the Carolina Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 14 May 2022 Madtom. The Project does contain suitable habitat for the Neuse River Waterdog. Overall, the project will provide long term benefits to the species by providing additional forested and protected buffers. RES intendeds to avoid instream work where suitable habitat is located. Most of the work conducted on site will involve tree planting, culvert removal, and minor bank stabilization. A self-certification letter was sent to USFWS (on March 25th, 2021). The USFWS responded on April 5th, 2021 and stated "We don't intended to officially respond back". Thus, the certification letter (provided) is their official response unless they do not concur with the determination.This consultation was conducted as part of the CE process 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 CE 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. 2.2.3 Cultural Resources A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (September 3, 2020) database did not reveal any registered occurrences within the Project area; however, there was one occurrence within a half-mile radius, Montague-Orton Farm. RES consulted with the SHPO during the CE 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." Cultural Resources screening met the Categorical Exclusion Criteria for FHWA and DMS projects and documentation is included in Appendix C. 2.2.4 Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)/Hydrologic Trespass The entire Project, except for a small portion along the southern boundary, is in FEMA Zone AE and also contains a FEMA regulatory floodway starting halfway up the proposed easement and continuing north (3720259700K, 2018; Figure 10). FEMA mapping also shows a small .2%Chance Annual Flood zone at the southern boundary of the Project.As the Project progresses, the implications of updating Culverts outside of the Project Area will be considered and determined whether a No-Rise FEMA permit is needed. A Floodplain Development Permit will be obtained from the Wayne County Floodplain Administrator prior to construction to ensure the proposed project meets the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the community's floodplain management regulations. Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 15 May 2022 3 RIPARIAN RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Riparian restoration and preservation areas adjacent to streams are shown in Figure 5 and were determined viable for credits by the DWR in the letter dated October 22, 2021(Appendix A). 3.1 Site Preparation Preparation at the Project will involve spraying crops and exotic invasive species, soil amendments, seeding, and planting. 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 or broadcast seeding depending on season and conditions at the time of seeding. Soil amendments will be provided across the entire planted area based on the results of soil fertility tests. Temporary and permanent riparian seeding, bare root plantings, and live stakes shall be planted according to the planting plan (Section 3.3). The riparian restoration areas will be surveyed, and information will be provided in the As-Built report. 3.2 Methods Riparian buffer mitigation activities will include restoration and preservation along streams and the viable ditch feature. All restoration and preservation areas were determined by the mitigation determination performed during the viability assessment by DWR (Appendix A). 3.2.1 Riparian Restoration Activities —stream channels and viable ditches For stream channels,the Project will provide riparian buffer and surrounding area restoration in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n). Restoration activities along stream channels will begin from the tops of the proposed stream banks and extend a minimum of 50 feet from the stream outward to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular to the stream channel. Restoration will occur where cropland is currently present. Specifically, reaches BH1, BH2, BH3, and BH4 a will include riparian buffer restoration (Figure 5). For the ditch feature, D4, the project will provide riparian buffer restoration in accordance with the alternative mitigation option of Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(8). These restoration activities will begin from the tops of the ditch bank and extend 50 feet perpendicular to the ditch channel. All these riparian areas are currently cropland (Figure 2A). As no work is proposed on neither the stream channels nor the ditch feature,the only restoration activities will include the planting of bare root trees as described in Section 3.3 and the other activities mentioned in Section 3. Additionally, this Project will be co-developed with a buffer mitigation and nutrient offset bank that will extend riparian buffer and riparian areas associated with this Project's streams as well as incorporate an additional ditch feature on the property. Therefore, riparian planting and site preparation activities will extend beyond the limits of this Project's boundaries. Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 16 May 2022 3.2.2 Riparian Preservation Activities Preservation will take place in limited 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 buffer viability assessment (Appendix A). Specifically, along Carraway Creek contains forested areas that will be preserved (Figure 5). In addition, preservation activities will include treating invasive species (Appendix D), specifically Chinese privet, and 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 3.4 for further description of the easement boundaries). 3.2.3 Other Activities Other activities involved with the buffer mitigation component of the Project will include localized livestaking along the top of banks on stream features that are showing signs of instability. As part of the Restoration activities, one culvert will be removed from the Project Area and two will be updated outside of the Project Area to ensure they are properly sized and functioning. Seeding and livestaking will occur in the locations where the existing culverts are removed (Figure 5). 3.3 Planting Plan All riparian restoration areas will be planted from top of bank back at least 50 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. The suite of bare root stems will be thoroughly mixed prior to planting to ensure maximum diversity throughout the planted areas. These 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. The list of seed species to be sown and a proposed composition percentage of the mix can be found in Table 6. The seed will be sown utilizing a no-till drill or broadcast depending on season and conditions at the time of planting as well as easement closing. Planting will occur in all areas proposed for riparian buffer restoration 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. Mixed-Mesic Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain subtype) (Schafale 2012) will be the target community type and will be used for all areas within the Project. This community composition is highly diverse and is suitable given the Project's soil and landscape characteristics and will provide water quality and ecological benefits. The initial planting of bare root trees will occur before Spring 2023. The list of bare root tree species to be planted and their percentage of total species composition can be found in Table 5.A total of 10 species are proposed below, and a minimum of 7 species will be planted.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 maple (Acer rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Additionally, the livestake plantings mentioned above in Section 3.2.4 will consist of black willow (Salix nigra) and silky dogwood (Corpus amomum).

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 marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. 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. Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 18 May 2022 Again, this Project will be codeveloped with a buffer mitigation and nutrient offset bank that will extend riparian buffer areas associated with this Project's streams as well as incorporate additional stream features on the property. Therefore, there will be bank conservation easement boundaries extending beyond the boundaries of this Project and will also be marked appropriately. Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 19 May 2022 4 MONITORING PLAN 4.1 Monitoring Protocol and Success Criteria Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Riparian vegetation monitoring where riparian buffer mitigation 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 6 months from 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 16.12 acres, and there will be 14 vegetation plots measuring riparian buffer mitigation success. These plots will be randomly placed throughout the planted riparian restoration area and will be representative of the riparian community (Figure 11). 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 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 from all photo points 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, • 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 7. Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 20 May 2022 Table 7. Summary of Project Monitoring and Maintenance Activities Component/ Monitoring Maintenance through project close-out Feature Vegetation Annual Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the targeted vegetation plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair activities may monitoring include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation maintenance activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring reports.Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring period. Invasive and Visual Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none Nuisance Vegetation Assessment become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. Locations of invasive and nuisance vegetation will be mapped. Also, see Appendix D for more details. Project Boundary Visual Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction Assessment between the mitigation project and adjacent properties. Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree-blazing, or other means 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. 4.2 Adaptive Management Plan and Project Maintenance Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions taken if in the event that the project, or a specific component of the project, fails to achieve the defined success criteria. DMS must approve all adaptive management plans prior to submittal to DWR. Remedial actions will be designed to achieve the success criteria specified in this Mitigation 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 RES during the monitoring period, RES must first receive approval by DMS and then 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, RES will develop a species-specific control plan. Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project Buffer Mitigation Plan DMS Project#: 100186 21 May 2022 5 STEWARDSHIP The Project will be transferred to the NCDEQ Stewardship Program. NCDEQ Stewardship Program shall serve as the conservation easement holder and entity responsible for long term stewardship of the Project. This party shall serve as conservation easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will 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. The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage to identify boundary markings as needed. Any associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility of the owner of the underlying fee to maintain.

The site visit was to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within a proposed conservation easement boundary,which is more accurately depicted in the attached map labeled"Figure 1-Exisiting Conditions" (Figure 1)prepared by EBX. The proposed easement boundary in Figure 1, includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of a mitigation site. On July 29, 2021,Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with Wildlands 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.

The maps representing the proposal for the site are attached to this letter and initialed by Ms. Merritt on October 22, 2021. Substantial changes to the proposed easement boundary as well as any site constraints identified in this letter, 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 October 22,2023 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.

These activities include planting of trees, shrubs and herbaceous vegetation, installation of monitoring wells, utilization of heavy equipment to grade, fill, and prepare the soil,modification of the hydrology of the site, and installation of natural and manmade materials as needed to direct in-stream, above ground, and subterraneous water flow. C. Signs. The Grantee, its employees and agents, successors or assigns, shall be permitted to place signs and witness posts on the Property to include any or all of the following: describe the project,prohibited activities within the Conservation Easement, or identify the project boundaries and the holder of the Conservation Easement. D. Fences. Conservation Easements are purchased to protect the investments by the State (Grantee) in natural resources. Livestock within conservations easements damages the investment and can result in reductions in natural resource value and mitigation credits which would cause financial harm to the State.Therefore,Landowners(Grantor)with livestock are required to restrict livestock access to the Conservation Easement area. Repeated failure to do so may result in the State(Grantee)repairing or installing livestock exclusion devices(fences)within the conservation area for the purpose of restricting livestock access. In such cases, the landowner (Grantor) must provide access to the State (Grantee)to make repairs. NCDMS Full Delivery Conservation Easement Template AG reviewed 11 May 2017 Page 6 of 11 E.

As a part of the environmental screening and CERCLA compliance, an EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project through Environmental Data Resources, Inc (EDR) on February 16, 2021. According to the EDR report, the project property was identified to be within one mile of an underground storage tank incident. This facility was established in 1967 by Hevi-Duty Electric and the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) disposal site was approved by NCDEQ in 1976. The disposal area was used to contain PCB-contaminated soil and debris in drums on site, just north of the manufacturing area. After the disposal site was established, transformer oil spills occurred in July of 1981, January 1986, and March 1986. Undocumented, pre-1976 releases are also known to have occurred on site. Site investigations since 1981 have detected PCB-contamination in surface water and soils from on-site culverts and ditches. PCBs have also been identified in on-site groundwater and air. This incident is still undergoing annual inspections, to ensure site compliance. This incident, although higher in the Neuse watershed, is not within or adjacent to the project area and is not within the drainage area of the Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project. This incident is located just under 1-mile northwest of the Project. Any ground disturbance within the Project has little to no potential for contaminants to enter the site. The summary of the EDR report is enclosed. In addition to the EDR search, a visual inspection of the Carraway Bluff project area was conducted to assess the potential for the occurrence of recognized environmental conditions on the property that might not have been revealed in the EDR report. The inspection was conducted to locate and identify any obvious use, storage, or generation of hazardous materials. No hazardous storage containers or substances were observed during the visual inspection.

Site Selected: Date Of Selection YESn NO n Reason For Selection: Name of Federal agency representative completing this form: Date: (See Instructions on reverse side) Form AD-1006(03-02) STEPS IN THE PROCESSING THE FARMLAND AND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM Step 1-Federal agencies(or Federally funded projects)involved in proposed projects that may convert farmland,as defined in the Farmland Protection Policy Act(FPPA) to nonagricultural uses,will initially complete Parts I and III of the form.For Corridor type projects,the Federal agency shall use form NRCS-CPA-106 in place of form AD-1006.The Land Evaluation and Site Assessment(LESA)process may also be accessed by visiting the FPPA website,http://fppa.nres.usda.gov/lesa/. Step 2-Originator(Federal Agency)will send one original copy of the form together with appropriate scaled maps indicating location(s)of project site(s),to the Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS)local Field Office or USDA Service Center and retain a copy for their files.(NRCS has offices in most counties in the U.S.The USDA Office Information Locator may be found at http://oftices.usda.gov/scripts/ndISAPI.dll/oip_public/USAmap,or the offices can usually be found in the Phone Book under U.S.Government,Department of Agriculture.A list of field offices is available from the NRCS State Conservationist and State Office in each State.) Step 3-NRCS will,within 10 working days after receipt of the completed form,make a determination as to whether the site(s)of the proposed project contains prime, unique,statewide or local important farmland.(When a site visit or land evaluation system design is needed,NRCS will respond within 30 working days. Step 4-For sites where farmland covered by the FPPA will be converted by the proposed project,NRCS will complete Parts II,IV and V of the form. Step 5-NRCS will return the original copy of the form to the Federal agency involved in the project,and retain a file copy for NRCS records. Step 6-The Federal agency involved in the proposed project will complete Parts VI and VII of the form and return the form with the final selected site to the servicing NRCS office. Step 7-The Federal agency providing financial or technical assistance to the proposed project will make a determination as to whether the proposed conversion is consistent with the FPPA. INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FARMLAND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM (For Federal Agency) Part I: When completing the "County and State" questions, list all the local governments that are responsible for local land use controls where site(s) are to be evaluated. Part III: When completing item B (Total Acres To Be Converted Indirectly), include the following: 1. Acres not being directly converted but that would no longer be capable of being farmed after the conversion, because the conversion would restrict access to them or other major change in the ability to use the land for agriculture. 2. Acres planned to receive services from an infrastructure project as indicated in the project justification (e.g. highways, utilities planned build out capacity)that will cause a direct conversion. Part VI:Do not complete Part VI using the standard format if a State or Local site assessment is used. With local and NRCS assistance, use the local Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA). 1. Assign the maximum points for each site assessment criterion as shown in § 658.5(b)of CFR. In cases of corridor-type project such as transportation, power line and flood control, criteria#5 and#6 will not apply and will, be weighted zero, however, criterion #8 will be weighed a maximum of 25 points and criterion #11 a maximum of 25 points. 2. Federal agencies may assign relative weights among the 12 site assessment criteria other than those shown on the FPPA rule after submitting individual agency FPPA policy for review and comment to NRCS. In all cases where other weights are assigned, relative adjustments must be made to maintain the maximum total points at 160. For project sites where the total points equal or exceed 160, consider alternative actions, as appropriate, that could reduce adverse impacts (e.g. Alternative Sites, Modifications or Mitigation). Part VII: In computing the "Total Site Assessment Points"where a State or local site assessment is used and the total maximum number of points is other than 160, convert the site assessment points to a base of 160. Example: if the Site Assessment maximum is 200 points, and the alternative Site "A" is rated 180 points: Total points assigned Site A 180 X 160 = 144 points for Site A Maximum points possible = 200 For assistance in completing this form or FPPA process, contact the local NRCS Field Office or USDA Service Center. NRCS employees, consult the FPPA Manual and/or policy for additional instructions to complete the AD-1006 form.

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.

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.

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. TC6368027.2s 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.

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.

Projects are subject to Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) requirements if they may irreversibly convert farmland (directly or indirectly) to nonagricultural use and are completed by a Federal agency or with assistance from a Federal agency. For the purpose of FPPA, farmland includes prime farmland, unique farmland, and land of statewide or local importance. Farmland subject to FPPA requirements does not have to be currently used for cropland. It can be forest land, pastureland, cropland, or other land, but not water or urban built-up land. Farmland means prime or unique farmlands as defined in section 1540(c)(1) of the Act or farmland that is determined by the appropriate state or unit of local government agency or agencies with concurrence of the Secretary to be farmland of statewide of local importance. "Farmland" does not include land already in or committed to urban development or water storage. Farmland "already in" urban development or water storage includes all such land with a density of 30 structures per 40-acre area. Farmland already in urban development also includes lands identified as "urbanized area" (UA) on the Census Bureau Map, or as urban area mapped with a "tint overprint" on the USGS topographical maps, or as "urban- built-up" on the USDA Important Farmland Maps. See over for more information. The area in question includes land classified as Prime Farmland.

Ms. Engel, 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.). In conjunction with the NC Division of Mitigation Services, Resource Environmental Solutions,LLC has identified and developed the Caraway Bluff Buffer Mitigation Project. The 54.20-acre site will restore and preserve riparian buffer in perpetuity. The project area consists of agriculture and forested lands and is surrounded by agricultural and disturbed forested areas. This site is located northeast of the intersection of Pecan and Genoa Roads, south of Goldsboro. The project area drains to Caraway Creek 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. Only native vegetation should be installed onsite and any invasive plant species found in or near the project area should be removed and destroyed.

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 02/18/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-01540 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/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/ towers/comtow.html.

I have the Carraway Project in my inbox for review. I appreciate the inclusion of a BA and I hope the RRP BA template is helpful. Please note that the BA template is not required, but it's an option provided to streamline formal consultation (if the project is likely to adversely affect to a species). You are welcome to use it for any projects you like. I was wondering if FHWA has required that you use it? I'm attaching the guidance document and Q& A document associated with the BA template, if you haven't seen them. I understand the difficulty in making determinations and figuring out stressors. We have been getting lots of questions lately. Our office is working on more specific guidance for determining suitable habitat, making determinations, and other aspects of T&E consultation for aquatic species. We are also working on determination keys for IPAC and the Corps, and that should help. But for now, we do not have an encyclopedia of stressors for each species. What we do have are Species Status Assessment (SSA) documents for several of our species, including the newly listed or proposed aquatic species (NRWD, Atlantic pigtoe, Yellow lance, and Carolina madtom). Those documents are available on our website or at https://ecos.fws.gov/, along with listing documents and recovery plans for many of our listed species. These documents contain species-specific information on biology, habitat requirements, and stressors/threats. You can use some of that language for your consultation submittals. Unfortunately, I think that most consultants will have no choice but to learn more about each species, its life history and habitat requirements, and common stressors. As for the Carraway project, my thoughts are this: The site is within the same 10-digit HUC as NRWD records (and historic Carolina madtom records), and NRWD proposed critical habitat is just downstream in the Neuse River. Your company determined that Carraway Creek has suitable habitat, but the biologist didn't see any NRWD in the stream in August. NRWD are best surveyed in the middle of winter (January and February), and they are a secretive species. They should be surveyed using non-lethal baited traps. So, unless the stream was thoroughly surveyed using appropriate methods during the appropriate survey season, the Service is unlikely to agree that the species is not present. We would recommend that the species be assumed present in this case. The BA that was submitted makes a determination of"May affect, not likely to adversely affect" (MANLAA) for NRWD (although I think in one spot it says No effect), which I think is appropriate, even if work is not being conducted in the stream. As discussed in the SSA for NRWD, sedimentation and lowering of DO from development are the biggest stressors for this species. Sedimentation is one of the biggest stressors for all our listed and proposed aquatic species. Culvert replacement upstream may cause some sedimentation in the suitable habitat portions of the site, and we can't rule out NRWD from the field work. Also, there are concerns for sedimentation downstream in the Neuse in proposed critical habitat. So, MANLAA is a safe choice for a determination. MANLAA can also mean that there are benefits to the species, and I would think that the NRWD would benefit from this project. If you are truly only planting trees in the buffer, not doing earth-moving activities or other things that may cause sedimentation and erosion, then the effects to the species are probably all beneficial. If you are wondering how to list stressors for work upstream of a record or critical habitat, I think it is appropriate to say, for example, that sedimentation or erosion from the site is possible. Then in the conservation measure section you can talk about how you are going to avoid and/or minimize any sedimentation or erosion from activities on the site. Although it hopefully is a given that all site developers will use stringent sediment controls, it is helpful to us if you provide some information in the "conservation measures" section of the BA template (or in any other documentation you submit) to generally describe how in-stream or downstream impacts are going to be avoided (commitment to stringent sediment and erosion controls, working in the dry, preserving existing buffers, etc.). Any info you can provide on the activity and how impacts to suitable habitat will be avoided or minimized would be helpful for us to be able to agree with a MANLAA determination. No effect literally means no effect at all. For the other species that may be ok if there are no records within the 10-digit HUC. However, the other aquatic species have a similar sensitivity to sedimentation as NRWD, and would also benefit from the project, so MANLAA would be fine for all of them, too. Carolina madtom is a little more difficult, because you have suitable habitat downstream in the Neuse and historic records in the 10-digit HUC, but no current records near the project. I think it could go either way, but I think we would recommend MANLAA for the madtom too, to cover the FHWA in case there are sedimentation issues from the project. If you are only planting trees, and there is no suitable habitat on the site, then No Effect is appropriate. There are probably lots of other scenarios that you can imagine for a mitigation site in or near a species record, so if you have other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or John -we have been fielding alot of these questions lately and will be happy to talk them out with you. I hope this is helpful. Have a good weekend. Please note that I am teleworking almost exclusively. Email is the best way to reach me.

Hello Mr. Ellis, We are working through the Cat Ex Checklist for a Riparian Buffer Restoration Project with the NC Division of Mitigation Services Full Delivery Projects under the Federal Highway Administration obligations. We will be doing this same process for 5 projects in the area so I wanted to make sure we were completing the new Biological Assessment correctly. The biggest area that I had questions on when our team was filling it out is the section that asks for identification of stressors for particular activities. We are mostly planting trees but on some sites will be removing or replacing culverts in ditches/streams. Do you have a dictionary or help document on certain activities and what type of stressor you would envision? I could see it either being nothing or a long list of potentials. Especially when there is not suitable habitat on site for any of the listed species. Any feedback would be appreciated.

A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map. 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 documented within the project area or indicated within a one-mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance.

Sincerely, %/4k Kenton Beal Land Representative Appendix D Invasive Species INVASIVE SPECIES PLAN Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. These site inspections may identify the presence of invasive vegetation. RES will treat invasive species vegetation within the project area and provide remedial action on a case by- case basis. Common invasive species vegetation found onsite, such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Chinaberry (Melia azedarach), and kudzu (Pueraria montana), will be treated to allow native plants to become established within the conservation easement. Invasive species vegetation will be treated by approved mechanical and/or chemical methods such that the percent composition of exotic/invasive species is less than 5% of the total riparian buffer area. Any control methods requiring herbicide application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Additionally, 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. If areas of invasive species exist within the easement, they will be monitored yearly as part of the monitoring protocol and treated if necessary. If required, problem areas will continue to be treated until the project easement shows overall trending towards meeting all monitoring requirements.
