The Site is located approximately 1 mile northeast of Willow Springs and 4 miles northeast of Fuquay- Varina, in Wake County, North Carolina, (figure 1). The project is situated within the Middle Creek watershed (United States Geological Society (USGS) 14 -digit Hydrologic Cataloging Unit (HUC) 03020201120010 of the Neuse River Basin and North Carolina Division of Water Resource (NC DWR) Sub -basin 03- 04 -03). This sub -basin was identified by the 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities (NC DENR) as a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW). The Site encompasses 12.66 acres and protected in perpetuity by three conservation easements recorded at the Wake County Register of Deeds on 11/25/2013, further detailed in Section 2.3. The Site protects five unnamed tributaries with direct hydrologic connection to Terrible Creek, DWR Stream Index Number 27- 43- 15 -8 -(2) and a Best Usage Classification of C, NSW (NC DWR 2009). Prior to restoration activities, riparian areas were cleared of native forest vegetation, heavily degraded by livestock grazing and hoof shear, maintained for hay production, and subject to raw manure fertilization. Streams were straightened, routinely cleared and subject to stormwater runoff from boarding facilities. The primary goal of this riparian buffer restoration project is to provide 10.70 Neuse River Riparian Buffer Units (RBMU). The success of this goal is based on the following criteria; 1. Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural activities including a) removal of horses from riparian areas; b) eliminating the application of fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural materials into and adjacent to streams; and c) establishing a vegetative buffer adjacent to streams to treat surface runoff, which may contain pollutants such as sediment and/or agricultural pollutants from the adjacent landscape. 2. Reducing sedimentation onsite and downstream by a) reducing bank erosion associated with vegetation maintenance and b) planting a diverse hardwood vegetative buffer adjacent to Site tributaries. 3. Stabilizing stream banks where necessary by sloping channel banks, and installing erosion control matting and livestakes. 4. Improving aquatic habitat by enhancing stream bed shading and natural detritus input. 5. Providing a terrestrial wildlife corridor and refuge in an area continually being developed for commercial and residential use. 6. Restoring and reestablishing natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional continuity. 7. Protecting the Site's full potential of stream and riparian buffer functions and values in perpetuity. Accomplishing this criterion is a multi -year process. Restoration activities outlined in the Pepperwood Farm Mitigation Plan were implemented during February and March of 2014. Activities included the installation of a shallow marsh treatment area, stabilization of stream banks, planting of riparian areas with bare root hardwood seedlings, removal of livestock from riparian areas and protecting the Site in perpetuity with a conservation easement. Additionally, the Site has been surveyed and marked per NC EEP guidelines by a licensed NC surveyor (Appendix C — As -Built Survey). Monitoring of restoration efforts will be performed for a minimum of 5 years or until success criteria are fulfilled. Monitoring protocol and success criteria are further detailed in Section 5.0. Pepperwood Farm Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site pg. 1 Baseline Monitoring Document & Baseline As -Built Report — May 2014 2.0 - Project Background & Goals 2.1 Location and Setting The Pepperwood Farm Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site (Site) is located approximately 1 mile northeast of Willow Springs and 4 miles northeast of Fuquay - Varina, in southern Wake County, North Carolina (Figure 1). Directions to Site • Via Raleigh, North Carolina: • Travel South on Highway 401 for approximately 12 miles • Take a left onto Air Park Road (gas station on corner) • Travel approximately 0.6 miles, turn right on Dunallie Dr. • Entrance to Pepperwood Farm is located at the end of Dunallie Dr. • 35.617249 °N, - 78.715332 °W (NAD83 /WGS84) 2.2 Site Selection & Historic Conditions Site selection was based on the conditions outlined in the NC EEP's RFP # 16- 004362. The Site is located within the Middle Creek TLW (USGS HUC 03020201120010) of the Neuse River Basin and is designed specifically to assist in fulfilling NC EEP's riparian buffer restoration goals in accordance with the Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy (15A NCAC 02B .0233). Prior to restoration activities, riparian areas were cleared of native forest vegetation, heavily degraded by livestock grazing and hoof shear, maintained for hay production, and subject to raw manure fertilization. Streams were straightened, routinely cleared and subject to stormwater runoff from boarding facilities. Each of the five unnamed tributaries within the Site are identified on the United States Department of Agriculture 1970 Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina and are hydrologically connected to Terrible Creek. On November 8th, 2012 and January 18, 2013 the NC Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) visited the Site and determined the features labeled UT 1 -5 (Figure 2) were viable for riparian buffer restoration (Appendix D). Before discharging into Terrible Creek, Site tributaries enter and flow through the Terrible Creek Riparian Buffer Restoration Project (NC EEP ID# 134). 2.3 Project Goals and Objectives 2.3.1 Project Goals Improving Water Quality - Removing nonpoint sources of pollution associated with agricultural production including a) removing livestock and b) ceasing the broadcast application of fertilizer, pesticides, and other agricultural materials into and adjacent to Site streams through treatment of runoff within the forested buffer. - Reducing sedimentation within onsite and downstream waters by a) reducing bank erosion and vegetation maintenance, b) eliminating plowing and hoof shear, and c) removing livestock from the Site. Enhancing Flood Attenuation - Promoting floodwater attenuation by increasing frictional resistance on floodwaters crossing Site floodplains. Restoring Wildlife Habitat - Improving aquatic habitat by enhancing stream bed shading and natural detritus input. - Providing a terrestrial wildlife corridor and refuge in an area extensively developed for agricultural production. - Restoring and reestablishing natural community structure, habitat diversity, and functional continuity. Pcpperwood Farm Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site pg. 2 Baseline Monitoring Document & Baseline As -Built Report — May 2014 • Protecting the Site's full potential of stream and riparian buffer functions and values in perpetuity. 2.3.2 Project Objectives The project goals will be addressed through the following project objectives: • Providing a minimum of 10.70 Neuse River Riparian Buffer Units, as calculated in accordance with the requirements stipulated in RFP #16- 004362, including the; - Installation of shallow marsh treatment area on an ephemeral ditches entering the Site from the west along UT -3; - Small areas of stream bank stabilization along UT -1; - Planting 10.7 acres of riparian area by planting bare root hardwood seedlings; - Removal of livestock from riparian areas; and - Protecting the Site in perpetuity with a conservation easement. 3.0 - Project Structure, Restoration Type & Approach 3.1 Project Structure Streams targeted for riparian buffer restoration include five unnamed tributaries to Terrible Creek which are depicted on the 1970 USDA Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina. On November 8th, 2012 and January 18, 2013 the NC Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) visited the Site and determined the features labeled UT 1 -5 were viable for riparian buffer restoration (Appendix D). Characteristics of Site streams are summarized in table below; each feature is also depicted on Figure 2, Appendix A.

Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina Appendix A: Figure 2 — Preconstruction Conditions / Project Components Appendix A: Table 1 — Project Components and Mitigation Credits Appendix A: Table 4 — Project Baseline Information & Attributes Table 3.2 Restoration Type & Approach Site restoration activities were conducted during the months of February and March 2014 and include the cessation of current agricultural practices; including the installation of a shallow marsh treatment area, herbicide treatment to dense fescue areas along UT's 4 and 5, minor stabilization of stream banks along UT -1, planting of riparian areas with bare root hardwood seedlings, removal of livestock from riparian areas and protecting the Site in perpetuity with a conservation easement (Appendix C, Sheets B and Q. These activities and the monitoring of these activities will ultimately result delivering 10.7 Riparian Buffer Mitigation Credits for the NC EEP. Fescue Herbicide Treatment: Areas of the Site subject to dense fescue growth (UT's 4 and 5) were mowed and treated with a onetime application of Sulfomet XP (Sulfometron Methyl) at an application rate of 4 oz. / ac. Herbicide application was made on February 10`h 2014 by Carolina Silvics, a licensed NC Department of Pepperwood Farm Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site pg. 3 Baseline Monitoring Document & Baseline As -Built Report — May 2014 Agriculture & Consumer Services Ground Pesticide applicator. Treatment was made over approximately 5.9 acres of the Site. An approximate 5 foot buffer was left untreated along Site streams to prevent destabilizing stream banks. Stream Bank Stabilization & Piped Channel Crossings: Stream bank stabilization measures occurred along UT -1 and alleviated minor bank erosion reaches. All stream stabilization work predominantly occurred above the mean high water line and entail sloping banks, installing erosion control matting and planting of livestakes. Stream bank stabilization measures aim to reduce shear stress and sedimentation, improve water quality functions, and improve aquatic and wildlife habitat associated with a stable riparian corridor /stream. Although outside the conservation easement five piped channel crossings were installed during construction activities. The table below details their location and installation. In field discussions with Martin Richmond of the DWR during our January 18, 2013 Site visit and phone conversations with James Lastinger of the USACE Raleigh Field Office confirmed the activities listed below and total impact from would not require 401 and 404 consultation. This was because restoration activities would result in less than a 1/10 of an acre and /or 150 linear feet of impact to regulated waters. This assumption was confirmed from the as -built numbers detailed in the table below. Stream Bank Stabilization & Piped Channel Crossings Activity and Mitigation Plan (01-10 - As -Built Impacts: Location Description of Activity 2014) Estimated Linear Linear feet of impact Impact Stream bank stabilization work predominantly occur above the mean high Bank Stabilization water line and will entailed sloping banks, Less than 20' 30' along UT -1 installation of erosion control matting, planting of livestakes, and seeding with a riparian seed mix.

Marsh Treatment Area: A shallow marsh treatment structure was installed adjacent to the UT -3 easement boundary and outside of the credit generating area. The marsh treatment structure defuses the flow of a shallow ephemeral ditch as it enters the Site. The treatment area will intercept surface water prior to discharging into the Site (Appendix C, Sheet B). The marsh treatment consists of a shallow depression in the landscape, filled with rock, and set with a log to control the outfall elevation and will provide treatment and attenuation of initial stormwater pulses. Pepperwood Farm Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site pg. 4 Baseline Monitoring Document & Baseline As -Built Report — May 2014 Vegetation Planting: Carolina Silvics planted the Site on March 13th, 2014 (Appendix C, Sheet C) with native, regional specific bare root seedlings (Table 6, Appendix A) consistent with the Schafale and Weakley definition of a Piedmont / Low Mountain Alluvial Forest and onsite vegetation observations. The entire riparian buffer restoration area (10.7 acres) was planted and baseline vegetation data was collected by Axiom Environmental on March 18tH Fencing: Fencing has been installed by Pepperwood Farm, LLC (current landowner) to exclude horses from restored riparian areas which border horse paddocks. Not all restored riparian areas will receive fencing as horse paddocks are concentrated to riparian areas along UT 1, 2, & 3. Currently, fencing occurs on roughly 50% of the project (Appendix C, Sheet B). It is assumed that additional horse paddocks will be constructed adjacent to protected riparian areas as horse activities continue to grow. Pepperwood Farm, LLC will maintain fencing and construct additional fencing as needed. 4.0 - Project History, Contacts and Attribute Data Prior to restoration activities, riparian areas were cleared of native forest vegetation, heavily degraded by livestock grazing and hoof shear, maintained for hay production, and subject to raw manure fertilization. Streams were straightened, routinely cleared and subject to stormwater runoff from boarding facilities. The project was submitted to the NC EEP in response to RFP #16- 004362 on April Yd 2012 to assist the NC EEP in meeting riparian buffer restoration goals in the Neuse 03020201 Watershed. The Site was awarded October 25th, 2012 The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this mitigation project includes three tracts and was recorded November 25th, 2013. These tracts are protected in perpetuity by the referenced protection instruments below.

Appendix A: Table 2 - Project Activity & Reporting History Appendix A: Table 3 - Project Contact Appendix A: Table 4 - Project Baseline Information & Attributes Table Pepperwood Farm Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site pg. 5 Baseline Monitoring Document & Baseline As -Built Report — May 2014 5.0 - Vegetation Success Criteria Success of vegetation criteria at the Site indicates successful restoration of riparian area adjacent to subject streams as well as improvement of overall water quality resulting from the treatment of runoff from agriculture fields. Success criteria are dependent upon the density and growth of planted tree species. An average density of 320 stems per acre of planted species must be surviving after five monitoring years in accordance with NC Division of Water Resources Administrative Code 15A NCAC 0213.0242 (Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy). 6.0 - Monitoring Plan Monitoring of vegetation restoration efforts will follow Level 2 CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation, Version 4.0 (Lee et al. 2006) and will be conducted between June 1 and October 30. Site monitoring will be conducted at thirteen (13) vegetation monitoring plots representing 3.6% of the 10.7 acres of restored buffer. Monitoring reports will be reported to the NC EEP annually for a minimum of 5 years or until success criteria are fulfilled. Monitoring parameters will include species composition and density. Visual observations to ascertain the degree of shrub and herbaceous species, including overtopping of seedlings during year 1 will be documented with photos and included in the annual monitoring report (Appendix C Sheet D) Baseline monitoring data was collected March 18`h, 2014 by Axiom Environmental, and established an average density of 635 planted stems per acre on Site with all 13 CVS monitoring plots exceeding success criteria (Appendix B). The dominant tree species identified from baseline data collection at the Site was Betula nigra, Celtis Laevigata, Liriodendron tulipifera,and Quercus pagoda. In summary, the Site is in compliance with success criteria for vegetation at the Baseline Monitoring Year (2014). 7.0 - Maintenance and Contingency Plans 7.1 Vegetation Contingency If vegetation success criteria are not achieved based on average density calculations from combined plots over the entire restoration area, supplemental planting may be performed with tree species approved by regulatory agencies. Supplemental planting may be performed as needed until achievement of vegetation success criteria. 7.2 Stream Bank Stabilization Periodic monitoring of the Site's stream banks will insure that any areas of concern will be dealt with in a timely matter. Live stake planting with native species, core matting, and seeding comprise primary tools to stabilize problematic areas. Any areas of concern will be noted within annual monitoring reports along with photographic documentation and a plan of action. 7.3 Site Boundary Site boundaries have been surveyed and marked to ensure clear distinction between the Site and adjacent properties per NC EEP guidelines by a licensed NC surveyor (Appendix C — As -Built Survey). Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. 8.0 - References Griffith, G.E., J.M. Omernik, J.A. Comstock, M.P. Schafale, W.H. McNab, D.R.

Located approximately 1 mile northeast of Willow Springs and 4 miles northeast of Fuquay- Varina, in Wake County North Carolina, the Site is situated with the Middle Creek watershed (United States Geological Society (USGS) 14 -digit Hydrologic Cataloging Unit (HUC) 03020201120010 of the Neuse River Basin and North Carolina Division of Water Resource (NC DWR) Sub -basin 03- 04 -03) and identified by the 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities (NC DENR) as a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW). The Site encompasses 12.66 acres and protected in perpetuity by three conservation easements recorded at the Wake County Register of Deeds on 11/25/2013, further detailed in Section 2.3. The Site protects five unnamed tributaries with direct hydrologic connection to Terrible Creek, DWR Stream Index Number 27 -43- 15-8-(2) and a Best Usage Classification of C, NSW (NC DWR 2009). Prior to restoration activities, riparian areas were cleared of native forest vegetation, heavily degraded by livestock grazing and hoof shear, maintained for hay production, and subject to raw manure fertilization. Streams were straightened, routinely cleared and subject to stormwater runoff from boarding facilities. The primary goal of this riparian buffer restoration project is to provide 10.70 Neuse River Riparian Buffer Units (RBMU). SCALE: 1 in. = 16,667 ft.
