4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: *
Land use at the Site is characterized by active row crop production. Fields are underlain by drained hydric soils, the Site has been in row crop production for 70+ years. Surface water is
effectively removed from the land through a network of lateral and primary ditches. All of the ditches drain into Bennetts Creek which flows into Merchants Millpond. The surrounding area
consists primarily of silviculture operations with some agricultural row crop production and to a much lesser degree light density residential. Merchants Millpond State Park makes up a
large area north and west of the Site. Please see the attached mitigation plan for additional details.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
0 Yes O No 0 Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
745 intermittent ditch
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The project is intended to reestablish 106.511 acres of wetlands, create 5.670 acres of wetlands, and provide 13.519 acres of upland buffer within the Chowan River Basin. A detailed
description of proposed activities is provided in the attached mitigation plan.

4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Proposed Site restoration activities include filling of ditches to reestablish 106.511 acres of wetland hydrology, this will include the filling of 385 linear feet of intermittent jurisdictional ditch.
Filling of the jurisdictional ditch is proposed for wetland reestablishment as all three wetland attributes are currently degraded beyond historic condition and restoration activities will provide
significant uplift to wetland hydrology, soils, and vegetation. Site restoration activities include two borrow areas totaling 5.670 acres to be used for filling existing ditches. These borrow
areas are proposed for wetland creation as no more than 12-inches of soil will be excavated. After the existing ditches have been filled the entire surface of the Site will be roughened
using a farm plow and then planted with native shrubs and hardwood vegetation. The project will be completed with standard earthmoving equipment including: track hoes, track trucks,
and bulldozers. A detailed description of proposed activities is provided in the attached mitigation plan.

1. Avoidance and Minimization

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
This is a wetland mitigation project. As a result, avoidance and minimization were not part of the original design planning. The proposed project is
anticipated to increase the function and area of jurisdictional wetlands. The design minimizes impacts to the existing jurisdictional ditch by grading the
banks and bed to a stable functioning slope, stabilizing the ditch bed further by installing stone aggregate along the regraded section, and including a
cross vane at the start of the ditch to control the grade where surface water enters. The ditch banks will be stabilized with vegetation by permanent
seeding, live stake plantings, and tree planting. The design regrades the slope of the existing ditch and ties in to the downgradient ditch section
effectively avoiding impacts to 181 linear feet of ditch.
lb. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The work to be completed in the jurisdictional ditch will occur during the summer when little to no water is present to avoid and minimize impacts to
receiving waters. In addition, a rock silt check will be placed downgradient from the proposed impacts to ensure no sediment is released to receiving
waters. No machinery will be driven beyond the proposed impact areas.

NCWRC Comments, Travis Wilson:
1. The plan does not use the 4th approximation of The Guide to Natural Communities of North Carolina. River
birch and Persimmon are not primary species found in Coastal plain non-riverine wet hardwood forests.
Persimmon may be found in low numbers in this type of system, as it grows in a very wide range of habitats,
but should be planted in dryer portions of the site with a focus on edge planting or clumps. River birch is
associated with more riverine systems; while possible to have this species present, the percentage of
planted stems should be significantly reduced.
Response:
A note has been added to the planting list to only plant persimmon in the upland buffer areas and areas at
or above the 35-foot contours. Also, river birch stems to be planted have been reduced by 69% resulting in
2,200 stems of river birch to be planted. The 4,800 stems have been reallocated to the other FACW species
listed in the planting plan.
USEPA Comments, Todd Bowers:
Note: It is understood that site visits have been made by IRT members during the development of site feasibility to
provide mitigation credit. In that regard, I feel it necessary to denote that I have not been on -site during this process
and that my comments may reflect a lack of on -site observation and evaluation.
1. General:
a. I appreciate the considerations for the synergistic effects the PT site will have on the adjacent Hofler
Mitigation Project (HMP). These considerations are not taken lightly given the ongoing adaptive
management required at the Hofler site. As such it appears that the PT site will serve to greatly benefit the
HMP as a sink for hydrology rather than a source as the final design will move water off -site at a set pre-
determined elevation that will not exceed the outfall of the HMP. The inclusion of the Water Balance
Calculation and the conclusions was very welcome.
Response:
Thank you.
b. Inclusion of upland buffers around wetlands is an excellent approach and one that strengthens the long-
term success for the site.
Response:
Thank you.
c. Connectivity to the Merchant's Mill Pond state park natural area and the greater Lassiter Swamp/Bennet's
Creek corridor is an excellent element of the project, however the corridor between the project and the
natural areas is very limited and maintained by the culvert under the farm/haul road. Was there any
discussion to upgrade the culvert at the northern ditch outlet to one better suited for aquatic organism
passage? Was access to other parcels the primary concern for the landowner? Was there any discussion of
incorporating the forested areas adjacent to the PT project to provide a direct connection to the nearby
natural areas?
Response:
Thank you, yes discussions were had with the landowner to provide a more robust and contiguous
connection to the natural areas. However, this would have restricted access to active agriculture and
silviculture operations. A culvert upgrade was considered at the northern ditch outlet however given the
1101 Haynes St., Suite 211 • Raleigh, NC 27604 • www.restorationsystems.com • Ph 919.755.9490 • Fx 919.755.9492

ditching that occurred around the Hofler Project the decision was made to prioritize upland buffer and
relocate the existing powerline.
2. Table 1/Page 11: Noted that a newer version of Table 1 that conforms to the template for crediting was
provided for inclusion in next/final revision.
Response:
The correct version of Table 1 generated from the DMS Stream and Wetland Asset Tool with the appropriate
formatting is included in the final mitigation plan.
3. Section 3.4/Page 17: The correct number of acres for wetland creation should be 5.670.
Response:
The wetland creation acreage has been updated on this page.
4. Section 6.4/Page 28: I appreciate the effort that went to working with Dominion Energy to relocate the
powerline adjacent to the road and out of the TP site.
Response:
Thank you.
5. Section 7.4/Page 30: Stems per acre of non-riverine swamp forest species (320) does not match Table 11
(355).
Response:
The stems per acre in the narrative of section 7.4 has been updated to 335 stems per acre to match Table
6. Section 8/Page 33 and Table 14: I concur with the number and type of proposed vegetation monitoring sites
adjusted downward based on the size and homogeneity of the site.
Response:
7. Table 16/Page 36: Recommend adding "placement of large woody debris" into the habitat objectives to
match the narrative on Page 20 (Large woody debris will be placed throughout the Site to provide a source
of organic material for the soil and habitat for wildlife.) and Table 9.
Response:
Placement of large woody debris has been added to habitat objectives in Table 16

Thank you.
DWR Comments, Erin Davis:
1. Page 1, Section 1.3 — Please confirm the monitoring year for HMP (page 7 references year 7).
Response:
The narrative has been revised throughout to state HMP has completed the seventh year of monitoring in
2021.
2. Page 9, Section 3.4 — Please correct the wetland creation acreage to 5.67.
Response:
The wetland creation acreage has been updated on this p
3. Page 16, Section 4—What measures were taken to identify a regional vegetative reference community site?
Response:
Schafale and Weakley's The Guide to Natural Communities of North Carolina 3' and 4' approximation were
used to assess wetland type and associated vegetation. Then a desktop assessment was performed of
Page 2of9

surrounding areas that included areas within the Bladen soil series with minimal ditching and appeared to
be at least 15+ years post disturbance. This resulted in two areas one was a mosaic of pines and hardwoods
within MMSP north of the pond and south of US Highway 158 (36.4470, -76.6802), and the other was a
contiguous hardwood stand southeast of the project and north of Gatling Road (36.4273, -76.6422). In
addition, we spoke with both landowners that have lived in this area of Gates County for multiple
generations one of which (S&M Farms, LLC) is a silviculture company in Gates County, and also consulted
with the Gates County Soil and Water District. Collectively these pieces of information were used to compile
the regional vegetative reference community.
4. Page 18, Table 9 — For consistency with Table 16, please add "plant woody vegetation" under the water
quality and hydrology objectives.
Response:
Plant woody vegetation has been added to Table 16.
5. Page 20, Section 7.1— Drainpipes are mentioned, have any drain tiles been located onsite?
Response:
We followed up with the farmer and Gates County Soil and Water District both confirmed drain tiles were
not installed in the credit generating areas. Drainpipes has been removed from the narrative.
6. Page 21, Section 7.1 — The HMP will eventually transfer to DEQ Stewardship, has there been any
consideration to potentially working with the State to further reduce the berm elevation?
Response:
When we initially engaged DMS and Albemarle Restorations, LLC about acquiring HMP and incorporating it
into PT we were told that combining the two projects and performing any modifications to HMP would be
extremely difficult as the berm is within an existing Conservation Easement. Since then we have been
focused on PT and making it a successful project without adversely affecting HMP.
7. Page 21, Section 7.2 —
a. Are there any concerns that a 17-foot plug may be insufficient to block drainage? The IRT typically
recommends a minimum 50-foot ditch plug for coastal plain projects.
Response:
The ditch plug lengths have been increased to 50-feet. As an added measure to ensure the integrity of the
ditch plugs non -woven filter fabric will be placed underneath the clay material used for the ditch plug.
b. Has a lateral drainage effect analysis been performed to demonstrate the impact of the existing ditches are
currently having on the proposed wetland reestablishment credit areas?
Response:
No. Our understanding in talking with the farmer along with observations at HMP indicate ditches are in
place to remove surface water from the winter and spring. The wetland meets hydrology via a perched
water table. HMP included an extensive lateral drainage effect for their project which led them down the
path to construct a berm around the project. After construction of HMP the farmer created a ditch network
immediately adjacent to the conservation easement which removed water from the farm fields for him to
farm. The installation of this ditch network had no effect on the hydrology of HMP as observed in the
monitoring hydrology data. A paragraph has been added to this section summarizing this information and
our research.
c. Please include the minimum distances from wetland credit areas to the nearest existing ditch to remain
open (e.g. Silver Springs Road ditches, ditch north of Wetland Reestablishment Area 1, ditch east of Wetland
Reestablishment Area 2). Has a lateral drainage effect analysis been performed to demonstrate that ditches
to remain open will not affect the proposed credit areas? If not, DWR requests that this analysis be
completed.
Response:
Minimum distances from wetland credit areas to the nearest exiting ditch to remain open has been added
to Figure 6. Regarding a lateral drainage effect analysis please see response to comment 7b above. Wetland
Page 3of9

Reestablishment Area 2 distance to eastern is ditch —55-ft and ditch is—1.5-ft in depth. Wetland
Reestablishment Area 1 distance to eastern is ditch —60-ft and ditch is—1.5-ft in depth.
d. Will the proposed upland pond have any hydrologic connection to the mitigation project?
Response:
No.
e. If the seven culverts will be removed, what is meant by "minor modifications" to them? Also, please briefly
describe the current condition of the two driveway culverts proposed to remain (e.g. stability, capacity).
This paragraph discusses only 9 of the 12 culverts shown on Figure 6, please update this section to address
all identified culverts. Are any existing culverts being replaced? If so, please include a typical detail in the
construction plan.
Respons
This section has been updated to discuss all 13 culverts, an additional culvert associated with the HMP
easement access is shown and will remain in place. Eight culverts will be completely removed. The two
remaining roadside culverts along Silver Springs Road will be cleaned of sediment and debris to allow
NCDOT designed flow and capacity. Similarly, the two farm path culverts outside of the easement will be
cleaned of sediment and debris to allow excess surface flow to move freely. No existing culverts are being
replaced.
8. Page 21, Section 7.3 — Please include a description of the proposed aggregate material for approval in the
final mitigation plan. Is the 1-2 feet of soil to be removed from the ditches proposed for reuse onsite?
Response:
A description of the proposed aggregate material has been added to this section, which will be Class -A
stone. If the soil removed from the ditches is suitable for reuse onsite it will be spread within the wetland
asset areas if not it will be disposed of offsite.
9. Page 23, Table 11 — Please confirm that all proposed species are appropriate for the coastal plain region
(e.g. persimmon) and non-riverine community type (e.g. river birch).
Response:
Both species mentioned and the remainder of the planting list are found in the coastal plain region and in
non-riverine community types. That said we've adjusted the locations for persimmon to focus on the upland
buffer and outer edge of the wetland assets. Also, we've decreased the number of river birch to be planted.
Please see response to NCWRC comment #1 for additional discussion.
10. Page 24, Section 8 — DWR recommends adding a sentence to this section stating that success criteria and
monitoring will be completed in accordance with the 2016 NCIRT Guidance.
Response:
A sentence has been added to Section 8 to include the statement above.
11. Page 25, Section 8 —
a. As requested by the IRT during the site walk, please provide all available pre -construction groundwater
gauge data in the final mitigation plan for review.
Response:
The pre -construction gauge data is included in Appendix B in the final mitigation plan.
b. DWR ok with the requested reduced total veg plots due to proposed habitat uniformity. However, DWR
may request additional plots/transects during monitoring if problem areas present.
Response:
Noted.
12. Page 26, Table 14 — Please update the growing season dates in the table to match the footnote.
Response:
Growing season dates have been updated to be consistent.
Page 4 of 9

13. Page 27, Table 15 — DWR would be ok with the understory/shrub species planted being exempt from the
vigor performance standard to encourage site diversity.
Response:
Noted, a note has been added to exclude these species from the vigor performance standard.
14. Page 28, Table 16 — For consistency with Table 9, please include the "add woody debris" under the habitat
objective.
Response:
Add woody debris has been added to Table 9.
15. Page 29, Table 17 — DWR appreciates the inclusion of this table. Many of our concerns are captured in the
potential causes bullets (e.g. site too wet/dry, pine colonization, outlet erosion, and negative ditch effect
from outside the easement) and we are glad that measures have been considered in how to address these
issues.
Response:
Thank you.
16. Page 30, Section 11.3 — Please confirm that a majority of the site includes an upland buffer within the
conservation easement. DWR appreciates that a buffer zone was included between Wetland Area 1 and the
CE boundary to the west and north. However, we remain concerned with the risks associated with no buffer
surrounding Wetland Reestablishment Area 2.
Response:
The reference to an upland buffer within the conservation easement has been revised to "portions of the
Site includes an upland buffer...". While not in the conservation easement there is a strip of land north,
east, and south of Wetland Reestablishment Area #1 that will no longer be farmed. Similarly, there is a strip
of land north, east, and west of Wetland Reestablishment Area #2 that will no longer be farmed. Also, to
the south of Wetland Reestablishment Area #2 there is an ephemeral draw that will provide relief within
the existing silviculture operation. The silviculture operation to the south was inspected and the ditching in
place is minimal and is not expected to have an effect on restoration of wetland hydrology. Our
conversations with the landowner (S&M Farms, LLC) indicated that a large ditch network is not necessary
for the silviculture operation. Their focus is to remove surface water in the winter spring via smaller surface
cuts to direct water offsite.
17. Sheet C-03C— Please add bare root and live stake planting details.
Response:
Bare root and live stake planting details have been added to Sheet C-03G.
18. Sheet C-03E — Due to observed vegetative establishment issues along relic haul roads, DWR requests that
an effort be made to locate them outside proposed credit areas to the greatest extent feasible (and outside
the project easement if at all possible).
Response:
An effort has been made to minimize location and extent of haul roads as the majority of the haul roads are
in line with the existing ditch network. That said the haul roads for Wetland Reestablishment Area #2 have
been reconfigured resulting in the overall disturbed area decreasing from 28.1-acre to 27.7-acres.
19. Sheet C-03F — Please consider renaming sheet title from "Wetland Rehabilitations".
Response:
Sheet has been renamed from "Wetland Rehabitations" to "Wetland Mitigation Assets"
Page 5of9

20. DWR appreciates efforts made to enhance the proposed project, including: relocating utilities, coordinating
with DOT on roadside drainage, increasing species diversity (including seed mix pollinator benefits), adding
woody debris habitat, conducting a thorough soil investigation and AMP considerations. We also recognize
this is a unique opportunity to improve the functional uplift of an existing mitigation site through greater
landscape connectivity.
Response:
Thank you.
USACE Comments, Casey Haywood:
1. Pg.7 Section 2- What monitoring year is the Hoffler Mitigation Plan Site in? This section states the HMP Site
is in its seventh year of monitoring, however Section 1.3 says it's in the eighth year of monitoring. Please
update.
Response:
The narrative has been revised throughout to state HMP completed its seventh year of monitoring in 2021.
2. Pg 21 Section 7.2-
a. Given that the ditch plug material is comprised primarily of silt and clay content, is the proposed plug length
of 17-30 feet enough? It is recommended that the minimum length filled should be based on the
permeability of the backfill material. Typically, the minimum length of fill material for a plug using high clay
content soils is 50-feet.
Response:
Please see response to DWR comment 7a.
b. This section states there will be a total of six clay ditch plugs, however, I could only locate five on Figure 6.
Please update.
Response:
There are five ditch plugs. This section has been revised to identify the five clay ditch plugs to be installed.
c. During the February 19, 2020 site visit RS discussed creating habitat depressions in the Wetland Creation
areas. If these are still being proposed, please include this in the narrative and ensure these areas are
identified on the redline record drawings. To ensure these areas are seasonally dry, we recommend a max
depth of 14".
Response:
Based on the size of the Wetland Creation areas during the design phase the decision was made to roughen
the surface of the areas and plant woody species throughout rather than creating habitat depressions.
d. The narrative in this section states that there will be minor modifications to seven of the nine culverted
driveways along the roadside ditches of Silver Springs Road. However, Figure 6 shows these are being
removed. Please clarify. Additionally, please discuss the condition, and any proposed work of the four
culverts that will remain.
Response:
The narrative in this section has been revised to reflect the culvert work shown on Figure 6. Please see
response to DWR comment 7e for additional discussion. Also, note one additional culvert to remain has
been included on Figure 6 which is the culvert for the easement access to the Hofler Mitigation Project.
3. Pg 21 Section 7.3-
a. Is there any concern that the log sill structures proposed in the ditch outfall locations will rot?
Response:
We anticipate the areas around the log sill structures to have water throughout the year based on
observations over the past 2 years. These areas will also receive live stake plantings which is intended to
provide long-term stability in the event the log sill structures rot.
Page 6of9

b. Please add more discussion on the type and size of aggregate material that will be used.
Response:
The narrative has been revised to identify Class A stone as the aggregate material that will be used.
4. Pg 23 Table 11- River birch is typically more prevalent in riverine systems and does not seem appropriate
for the community type identified. Please confirm. Recommend removing or significantly reducing the
number of river birch in the planting plan.
Response:
River birch has been reduced from 7,000 stems to 2,200 stems. Stems removed have been reallocated to
other FACW species.
5. Figure 8- Please move 3 of the proposed wetland gauges closer to the exterior edges of the HMP site.
Response:
Figure 8 has been revised with a total of three gauges (one gauge moved and two new gauges added per
USACE Browning Comment #5) located closer to the exterior edges of the HMP site.
6. Construction plans- Please include the planting details for bare roots and live stakes.
Response:
Planting details for bare roots and live stakes have been added to the construction plans.
7. Response to DMS comment 15- Please confirm that the pre -construction gauges have been installed.
Additionally, please include this data along with an updated map in the final mitigation plan.
Response:
Five preconstruction gauges were installed on February 9, 2022. The data and an updated map is included
in the final mitigation plan.
USACE Comments, Kim Browning:
1. Please provide all available pre -construction groundwater gauge data in the final mitigation plan for review.
We would like to review this data prior to receiving the final mitigation plan.
Response:
The data is included in the final mitigation plan, and the data will be provided to the IRT prior to submitting
the final mitigation plan.
2. The requested reduced total veg plots due to proposed habitat uniformity is acceptable; however, for future
reference please note that monitoring plots should make up 2% of the planted portion of the site, not only
the credited areas.
Response:
Understood.
3. There is concern that the log sill structures in the ditch outfalls will rot over time. We have observed this on
several sites recently. You may want to consider using rock or something that will not degrade with time
and weathering.
Response:
Please see response to USACE Haywood's comment 3a.
4. Figure 8: Please move at least one vegetation plot to the west side of HMP in the non-riverine swamp
planting area.
Response:
Figure 8 has been revised to show one vegetation plot moved to the location referenced above.
5. Figure 8 and Tables 14-16: Two additional groundwater gauges should be added to capture the NSF area.
Currently, there is only one gauge in the NSF area, located where proposed road drainage enters the site.
Response:
Figure 8 has been revised to include two additional groundwater gauges added in the NSF area.
Page 7of9

6. Page 21, Section 7.3: Please elaborate on the aggregate proposed to fill the ditches.
Response:
Please see response to USACE Haywood's comment 3b.
7. Figure 7: The legend shows 127.5 ac conservation easement, but the planting area totals 125.73 acres.
Section 1.4 lists 125.7 acres. Please clarify.
Response:
The correct acreage for the conservation easement is 125.73-acres. This has been updated throughout the
final mitigation plan and on the associated figures.
8. Figure 7: Does the conservation easement bisect the north parcel? It appears that the easement line just
above HMP runs along the old ditch line.
Response:
That line represents the existing parcel boundaries and the associated conservation easement on each
parcel. The figures have been revised to remove the duplicated line on the common easement boundary.
9. Figure 7: Did you intend for the NWHF and NSF polygons to overlap? These planting zones do not appear
to overlap on Sheet C-03G. According to the description on page 22, the polygons should overlap.
Response:
Sheet C-03G has been revised so that the NWHF and NSF polygons overlap as intended.
10. Design Sheets: Perhaps it's just my printed copy, but the planting plan (species, quantities, wetland
indicator) was missing from the design sheets.
Response:
The planting plan has been added to the design sheets.
11. Sheet C-09: Are the elevations for borrow area # 3 correct? (Top elev = 32.0, bottom elev = 23.0) Is this the
area that is out of the easement and will be a pond? Was this area evaluated during the PJD?
Response:
Yes, those are the correct elevations and is the borrow area outside of the easement that will be a pond.
This area is an existing field in agricultural production with no ditching, this area was not evaluated during
the PJD.
12. Page 20: The mitigation plan should contain more details on the braided ephemeral flow path. Is
"ephemeral" the correct word to use? It was unclear where this was proposed. Please add this to the legend
on Figure 6. I understand the need for this flow path to maintain positive drainage from the DOT road;
hopefully this will not have a draining effect on the adjacent wetland.
Response:
The detail has been renamed braided surface water flow path as it is intended to capture excess surface
water during periods of high rainfall. It has been symbolized on the construction plan sheets and added to
the legend on Figure 6. Additional discussion has been included in Section 7.1 as well. We do not anticipate
a drainage effect on the additional wetlands rather it should serve as storage and retention from
precipitation events while providing a direction and path for excess surface water when needed.
13. Table 7 does not list river birch or sycamore. Please reduce the percentages of these species in the planting
plan.
Response:
River birch has been reduced from 7,000 stems to 2,200 stems, and sycamore has been reduced from 7,700
stems to 5,000. Stems have been reallocated to other FACW rated species in the planting plan.
Page 8of9

14. Table 10: Even though there is no suitable habitat on -site, please make sure that documentation for the
Red -cockaded Woodpecker is included in the categorical exclusion documents to satisfy Section 7(a)(2) of
the ESA and the new RCW SLOPES.
Response:
The USFWS response letter in the Cat. Ex. indicates the USFWS believes the requirements of Section 7(a)(2)
of the ESA have been satisfied for this project. In addition, the March 2022 RCW SLOPES has been completed
and resulted in a determination of "No effect" for the project activities. The completed March 2022 RCW
SLOPES documentation is included with the other USFWS correspondence in the Categorical Exclusion
found in Appendix E. Based on this information we believe we have satisfied Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA.
15. Table 12: Are all these species appropriate for this site? It would be helpful to include the wetland indicator
status for these species.
Response:
Yes, these species are appropriate for the Site based on regionally appropriate native species that are
compatible with the required tree establishment goals. The planted seed will supplement the volunteer
herbaceous community already onsite with increased diversity, pollinator benefit, soil stability and health,
and provide aesthetic appeal sought by landowners. The wetland indicator status for these species has been
added.
16. During the IRT site visit, it was agreed that a soil specific performance standard would be required. Please
add a performance standard to Table 15 that addresses the site's ability to maintain its appropriate
saturation period and develop hydric soil conditions such as organic matter, clay content, and soil structure.
Response:
Table 15 has been revised to include a soil specific performance standard which is at the end of monitoring
a soil profile description will be completed at each groundwater gauge location. In order to meet the
performance standard the soil profile description must meet a hydric soil indicator.
17. Page 30: I appreciate the discussion on hydrologic trespass; however, many of the proposed wetland
reestablishment areas go to the easement boundary, so it's reasonable to expect wetter conditions on
adjacent parcels. Many of the elevation lines on adjacent parcels are actually lower than the project
elevations. Impacts to adjoining parcels that are not under control of the sponsor/applicant raise concern
of future ditching outside the easement.
Response:
We believe while an upland buffer within the conservation easement is not provided for the entire project,
there are other landscape features that will facilitate removal of excess water during annual wet periods.
These features for Wetland Reestablishment Area #1 include: to the east a raised farm path and ^35-foot
strip of land that will no longer be farmed which grades towards the historic ditch, to the north a raised
farm path and a ' 80-foot strip of land that will no longer be farmed which grades towards the wetland
asset, to the south and southeast there is a 40-foot strip of land that includes the underground utility and
NCDOT right-of-way along with the Silver Springs roadside ditch.
These features for Wetland Reestablishment Area #2 include: a strip of land north, east, and west of
Wetland Reestablishment Area #2 that will be planted with trees and no longer be farmed; to the south of
Wetland Reestablishment Area #2 there is an ephemeral draw that will provide surface water relief within
the existing silviculture operation. The silviculture operation to the south was inspected and the ditching in
place is minimal and is not expected to have an effect on restoration of wetland hydrology. Our
conversations with the landowner (S&M Farms, LLC) indicated that a large ditch network is not necessary
for the silviculture operation. Their focus is to remove surface water in the winter spring via smaller surface
cuts to direct water offsite.

RESTORATION
SYSTEMS! LLC
1. P. 15, Please explain if the hydric indicator for Pantego may also be depleted below dark surface as shown
in the soil boring picture.
The hydric indicator "Depleted Below Dark Surface" requires a depleted matrix which requires a value of 4
or more and chroma of 2 or less. Per the definition the Pantego soil profile description (Profile ID R) does
not meet the F3 — Depleted Matrix indicator, the appropriate hydric indictor is F7 — Depleted Dark Surface.
This will be updated in the Mitigation Plan.
2. P. 17, The objectives in the third goal, Improve wildlife habitat within and adjacent to the site are repetitive;
lists planting of woody vegetation three times.
Text has been revised to include one mention of planting of woody vegetation and one mention of adding
woody debris material.
3. P. 18, Table describes 4" disking for compaction. Please clarify if the entire site is to be roughened or if this
will only be applied where surface crusting is observed. There was discussion of a layer of soil restriction
driving the surface hydrology at proposal phase, but it is not described in Wetland Restoration approach. If
RS feels this is the situation, please describe in section 7.1 and the typical depth to restrictive layer.
The entire Site will be roughened with 4" disking, and the text in Table 9 has been revised to clarify.
Additional discussion has been included in Section 7.1 to discuss the depth range to the restrictive layer and
it's role in reestablishment of wetland hydrology.
4. P. 20, Section 7.1 — In the first paragraph, the draft document stated that the project would remove
important elements and compounds. Please expend which elements or compounds will be removed. Or
just state the project will remove nutrients and sediment.
The text has been revised to state "the project will remove nutrients and sediment."
5. P. 20, Did RS consider using Merchants Millpond State Park as the RFE? DMS suggests evaluating the
vegetative communities there and re -considering the percentages of cypress and gum species planted as a
larger percent of the total. These species were most successful in HMP and are prevalent in Merchants
Millpond.
When evaluating nearby RFE's MMSP was evaluated and considered to be a Riverine Swamp Forest with
Bottomland Hardwood Forest extending up along the contributing tributaries. There is an area within
MMSP that is mapped as the Bladen soil map unit on the western side of the property, but this area has a
high number of pines and did not appear to be representative of Non-riverine Hardwood Flats and Non-
riverine Swamp Forest wetland types.
HMP is comprised mostly of the Pantego soil map unit which typically experiences longer hydroperiods (12-
16% based on 2016 NCIRT Mitigation Guidance) versus the Bladen soil map unit hydroperiod (10-12%).
Considering HMP includes a soil map unit with longer hydroperiods coupled with a raised berm surrounding
three sides of the project it makes sense that the gum and cypress species are the most successful. That
said we expect Pierce Terrace to have shorter hydroperiods relative to HMP as Pierce Terrace is comprised
mostly of the Bladen soil map unit and will not include a raised berm around the wetland assets. We have
noticed limited availability of some tree species during the past two planting seasons and have added a
footnote to Table 11 stating Bald Cypress is the preferred alternative in the event one of the other species
is not available.
1101 Haynes St., Suite 211 • Raleigh, NC 27604 • www.restorationsystems.com • Ph 919.755.9490 • Fx 919.755.9492

When updating Table 11 we noticed the total number of stems listed was incorrect, the total number of
planted stems has been revised from 93,500 to 90,700. All other values in the table were correct.
6. P. 21, Section 7.1, paragraph three may be incomplete. The statement in paragraph four that the site is in
a relatively low portion of the landscape resulting in thinner soils than historically present in this location is
not clear. Clarify text or respond.
Paragraph three was meant to be deleted and has been removed. Paragraph four has been revised to clarify
the design approach, and an additional paragraph was added to further explain the design components.
7. P. 25, 7.3. First sentence, it is unclear which ditch outfall locations this sentence refers to. Provide reference
to map or clarify.
Text has been revised to clarify the referenced outfall locations.
8. P. 25, 7.3 references lime/marl as backfill and key material for bringing the current ditches up to grade.
Please comment on the choice of this material as DMS has concerns that it may be too porous and light to
handle movement during heavier flows.
Marl was selected as it is a native material and readily available in the area. We understand the concern
regarding it's ability to withstand heavy flows and have replaced "limestome/marl" with "an approved
aggregate".
9. P. 25, Section 7.2, Clarify in narrative and drawings the approximate length of ditch plugs. The
typical in the plan shows 15' minimum.
The dimensions of the ditch plugs has been clarified in the narrative and plan set.
10. Page 25, Vegetation plots. RS is proposing 70 permanent and 32 random plots (102). This will result in a
coverage of 2.3% of the site (greater than 2%). Based on the creditable area, 2% of the planted area is 90
plots. It does sound reasonable to request less than 2% of the site covered with vegetation plots given site
uniformity as mentioned in the text but clarify the number, % coverage, and intent in the text if using less
than 2% (90).
In consideration of this comment and Site conditions we will revise the proposed number of vegetation
plots to 80 or 1.75% of the credit generating area. 60 vegetation plots will be permanent, and 20 will be
annual random transects.
11. Figure 8. (related to above comment), Monitoring Station Map: Five vegetation plots appear to be located
in non -credited upland sites. Confirm that RS intends on monitoring non-credit vegetation purposefully or
revise.
We do intend to observe vegetation in non-credit generating areas. However, we have revised the
vegetation monitoring effort to only include permanent vegetation plots in credit generating areas and non-
credit generating areas will be evaluated with two random transects during the years that vegetation
monitoring occurs.
12. P. 30, 8.1 Success Criteria. Per recent IRT guidance, if the provider elects to use soil temperature to begin
growing season then the provider must use temperature to extend the growing season. It is recommended
that the provider use WETS most recent data (run most recent 20 years data) or established NRCS historic
growing seasons to set an established and consistent growing season throughout the project. The HMP uses
the 3/9-11/6 growing season for Gates County, from WETS (although you may need to re -run this).
The 1929 Gates Co. Soil Survey identifies a growing season (average number of frost -free days) from April
3 — October 30 (210 days). The 1996 Gates Co. Soil Survey identifies a growing season (Murfreesboro data
from 1973-86, 50% of years with temperatures of 28° F or lower) from March 25 — November 11(232 days).
AgACIS Murfreesboro WETS data shows a growing season from March 26 — November 8 (227 days) using
data from 1975-2004, 50% of years with temperatures of 28° F or lower. AgACIS Murfreesboro WETS data
shows a growing season from March 26 — November 12 (231 days) using data from 1991-2020, 50% of years
with temperatures of 28° F or lower. The growing season has been updated to, March 26 — November 12
(231 days) , the most current historic climate data from the closest climate state (Murfreesboro).
Page 2of4

Visual Parameters were added to Table 14 Monitoring Summary as well to provide monitoring of
encroachment along the easement boundary and ensure the outfalls remain stable.
13. Given the average wetland hydroperiod for HMP being 39%, please justify why wetland hydroperiod
success criteria is much lower.
We are proposing a shorter hydroperiod relative HMP for two main reasons: 1) A majority of the soils
mapped for HMP are Pantego which is associated with a 12-16% hydroperiod using the 2016 guidance for
relating hydroperiod to soil taxonomy. Whereas the majority of the soils mapped for PT are Bladen which
is represented by a 10-12% hydroperiod. 2) The HMP constructed a berm around the project and limited
the number and elevations of the remaining surface water outlets. The result has produced abnormally long
hydroperiods and stunted vegetative growth of woody species. The PT site has provided designed surface
water outlets during periods of excessive rainfall and includes upland buffers around much of the project.
By incorporating these drainage components into the PT design, we expect a much shorter hydroperiod
relative to HMP and one that is representative of the historic conditions.
14. Appendices: Axiom Soil boring logs reference figure 4, but there is no figure to support this in document.
Remove these borings, or add map.
The figure number for the Axiom soil boring logs was referencing the figure from the Technical Proposal,
the figure number has been updated on these boring logs to reference the correct figure (Figure 5B) in the
Mitigation Plan.
15. The IRT recommended providing pre -condition data in the Mitigation Plan at the February 2020 post -
contract. Please respond to this request.
Due to the ongoing agricultural activities (winter crop and summer crops) in 2020 coupled with a full
replacement of gauges at our existing projects due to a systemic malfunction during the transition to a new
data logger type we were unable to install gauges in time for 2021. However, gauges are scheduled to be
installed February 2022 to provide some pre -construction hydrology data. Five gauges will be installed with
three in the northern area and two in the southern area. Each gauge will be located in a different soil map
unit.
16. Describe if RS will seek or require a 404 or 401 permit for this project as the only jurisdictional features are
a ditch.
A 401/404 permit will be submitted to account for the partial filling and regrading of the existing
jurisdictional ditch.
17. Please ensure that any infrastructure that is removed or relocated outside the easement is noted on the
As -Built.
Noted.
Electronic Deliverables:
1. Please run the Stream and Wetland Asset Tool with 3 features rather than 2 so that the spatial data is
segmented as the asset table is presented (e.g., W 1, W 2, W 3).
The Stream and Wetland Asset Tool has been re -run with 3 features and is included in the digital submittal.
2. Please use the asset table template included in the May 2019 guidance or the asset table exported from
the Stream and Wetland Asset Tool.
The asset table generated from rerunning the Stream and Wetland Asset Tool has been included in the
digital submittal.
Plan Sheets:
1. Please update construction plan Limits of Disturbance typo (showing 28.1 acres) page 1. There is also a
blank spot showing DWR number that appears to be a typo.
DWR # added to title sheet, note added to limits of disturbance call out. Additional note added "See Sheet
CO3E for Limits of Disturbance Areas" and the limits will be shaded on sheet CO3D.
Page 3 of 4

2. Include planting plan in the plan set.
A planting plan sheet has been added (CO3G) with legend.
3. Plan sheets C8 and C9: Please verify the design as submitted plugs and fills both ditches that extend to the
eastern boundary of the conservation easement. The inclusion of log cross vanes outside of the easement
in this location and the hatched structures not labeled seem to indicate that diffuse flow will concentrate
in this area. If the flow is anticipated to concentrate within the easement boundary to a depth that would

1 PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The Pierce Terrace Wetland Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the "Site") totals 125.73 acres of
agricultural fields used for row crop production. The Site is comprised of two adjacent parcels, the first
parcel totals 98.24 acres and includes 68.68 acres for the Site. The first parcel includes an existing NC
Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) wetland restoration project referred to as the Hofler Mitigation
Project (HMP). The conservation easement for the HMP totals 27.04 acres. The second parcel totals
226.18 acres and includes 57.05 acres for the Site. The Site is located approximately 2 miles west of
Sunbury, 5 miles northeast of Gatesville, and immediately south and east of Merchants Millpond State
Park (MMSP) in central Gates County (Figures 1— 2, Appendix A).

- Site Latitude, Longitude 36.431500, -76.649894 (WGS84)
1.2 USGS Hydrologic Unit Code and NCDWR River Basin Designation
The Site is located within the Chowan River Basin in 14-digit USGS Cataloging Unit and Targeted Local
Watershed (TLW) 03010203040040 of the South Atlantic/Gulf Region (NCDWQ sub -basin number 03-01-
01) [Figures 1 and 2, Appendix A]). Site hydrology is driven by precipitation and lateral groundwater flow.
The Site is located within an interstream flat adjacent to Lassiter Swamp and Bennett's Creek of MMSP.
The interstream flat is between three stream systems: Lassiter Swamp and Bennett's Creek (Site's
receiving waters) to the north, which has been assigned Stream Index Number 25-17. Two unnamed
tributaries to Bennett's Creek are located east and west of the Site. Bennett's Creek has been assigned a
Best Usage Classification of C; NSW (NCDWR 2013). No designations have been assigned to the unnamed
tributaries to Bennett's Creek.
1.3 Physiography and Land Use
The Site is in the Mid -Atlantic Flatwoods portion of the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain ecoregion of North
Carolina. Regional physiography is characterized by wide upland surfaces low in elevation with poorly
drained soil and slow natural subsurface drainage (Griffith et al. 2002). Intensive agricultural practices
exist across the entire Site. Agricultural fields within and adjacent to the Site are subject to routine
fertilizer and herbicide applications, including poultry litter. Site ditches are excavated regularly to remove
sediment loss from agricultural practices due to traditional plowing methods and fields left fallow outside
of the growing season. All native vegetation and woody material have been removed from the Site. Within
the Site is the HMP, implemented in 2012 and has completed the seventh year of monitoring in 2021.

Adjacent land management activities include silviculture and agriculture practices. These areas include
lateral ditching, shallow surface drains, subsurface drains, and planting beds to rapidly remove surface
and subsurface water from these poorly drained soils, which contribute nutrient, sediment, and fecal
coliform into MMSP.
Approximately 900-feet north and approximately 1,600-feet west of the Site, beyond the existing
agricultural and silvicultural practices, lies MMSP (Figures 1, Appendix A). The Site is split into two areas
by Silver Springs Road (SR-1404), a rural two-lane state road. The area north of Silver Springs Road is
105.6-acres, and the area south is 20.1-acres. To the south of the Site there is an extensive silviculture
operation with timber ranging in age from 5 — 20+ years. Agricultural production is the primary land use
east of the Site, with some silviculture, natural areas, and light residential areas mixed in.
The 1955 North Carolina Geological Survey (NCGS) aerial photograph for Gates County (Figure 3, Appendix
A) shows the Site in agricultural production and surrounding areas forested and in agricultural production.
Since the NCGS aerial photograph, the Site has remained in agricultural production, with the main
difference being the implementation of the HMP. Typical crop rotation for the last decade has been winter
wheat, corn or soybean, or cotton.
All 125.7 acres are ditched/drained for row crop production (Figure 5A, Appendix A). Removal of excess
surface water from the Site is accomplished via several seasonal rills/cuts that run perpendicular to the
topography to the ditch network.
As a non -riparian wetland located on the edge of an expansive interstream divide, Site hydrology drains
in multiple directions before ultimately draining north to receiving waters Bennetts Creek and Lassiter
Swamp within Merchants Millpond State Park. Onsite elevations are nearly level averaging between 10-
11 meters on the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) (USGS Merchants Millpond, North Carolina
7.5-minute topographic quadrangle) or 31-35 feet (NAVD 88) (NC One Map, Gates County Quality Level 2
(QL2) LiDAR 0.5-foot elevation contours) (Figures 4 and 5A, Appendix A). Surrounding land uses include
existing wetlands, rural residential properties, timber tracts, and row crops.
1.4 Project Components and Structure
Within the 125.7-acre Site, 106.511 acres are drained hydric soils (Figure 5B, Appendix A), which is
proposed for non -riparian wetland mitigation (Table 1) (Figures 6-8, Appendix A). Borrow areas within the
upland buffers of the conservation easement are proposed for wetland creation; these areas are expected
to total 5.670 acres with credit determination based on the final as -built survey. Completed project
activities, reporting history, completion dates, project contacts, and background information are
summarized in Tables 1-4.

2 WATERSHED APPROACH AND SITE SELECTION
Primary considerations for Site selection included the potential for improvement of water quality within
a region of North Carolina under heavy silviculture and agricultural pressure. The Site is located within the
State identified TLW 03010203040040 of the Chowan 03 River Basin. Prioritized for restoration, Bennetts
Creek and Merchants Millpond are both within the TLW and have a NCDEQ surface water classification of
Nutrient Sensitive Waters. Merchants Millpond was eutrophic in 2015 and has historically exhibited
elevated biologic productivity since it was first monitored in 1981 in the NCDEQ final 2021 Chowan River
Basin Water Resources Plan.
More specifically, site -specific selection considerations included a site's ability to provide desired aquatic
resource functions, hydrologic conditions, soil characteristics, aquatic habitat diversity, habitat
connectivity, compatibility with adjacent land uses, and reasonably foreseeable effects the mitigation
project will have on ecologically important aquatic and terrestrial resources. Site specific considerations
leading to the Site selection are summarized below:
Site Specific Selection Considerations
Rationale
Site's hydric soils have been ditched, drained,
cleared of forest vegetation, and managed for row
crop production.
High uplift potential to desired aquatic resource functions
including soils, hydrology, and vegetation
Nonpoint, groundwater/precipitation driven
ephemeral surface water flows enter the Site along
the boundary and are currently captured by the
Site's ditch network and drained.
Potential restoration of groundwater/ precipitation
driven ephemeral surface water flows and surface water
storage
Wetland soils have been altered by agricultural
activities, specifically ditching and draining of
wetlands. This activity has caused oxidation of the
organic materials resulting in some subsidence of
the surface soil horizon. This process along with
historic land clearing and agriculture use has
reduced the thickness of the soil surface relevant
to the historic undrained condition.
Ability to cease degrading land use activities
The Site's unique shape includes an upland buffer
around a majority of the drained hydric soils and
includes natural wetland outlets.
The Site has a natural drainage pattern with a primary
outflow at the northeast and southeast corners where
existing ag ditch outlets are currently.
The Site's proximity to natural and managed areas
and is compatible with adjacent land uses.
The Site shares a common border with an existing non -
riparian mitigation site and is near several natural and
managed areas (NC Natural Heritage Program, Appendix
C). Portions of the Site are bordered by agricultural lands
and managed timberlands.
In addition to the opportunity for ecological improvements at the Site, the implementation of the
particular mitigation activities and methods proposed in the Design Approach & Mitigation Work Plan
(Section 7.0) are expected to produce naturalized wetland resources that will be ecologically self-
sustaining, requiring minimal long-term management (Long-term Management Plan — Section 10.0).
Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100139)
Pierce Terrace Wetland Restoration Site
Gates County, North Carolina

Site activities address priorities associated with the 2009 Chowan River Basin Restoration Priorities report.
Site -specific information follows each goal.
1. Work with landowners, local governments, local conservancies and other nongovernmental
groups to protect and restore watersheds through restoration and preservation.
The Site surrounds the existing DMS HMP Non -riparian Wetland Mitigation Site, which completed
its seventh year of monitoring in 2021. In addition, MMSP is —900-feet north and —1,600-feet west
of the Site along with eight Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program easements with the NC
Department of Agriculture, Division of Soil and Water Conservation located within 1.0 mile of the
Site (NC NHP Report — AppendixC).
2. Implement restoration projects to reduce sources of sedimentation, nutrient pollution, and
surface runoff.
Reduce water quality impacts from agricultural practices — cessation of row crop production and
elimination of fertilizer application/annual ditch maintenance which may result in a direct
reduction of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediments entering downstream waters. Restoration of
jurisdictional wetlands will increase surface/sub-surface storage and retention within the Site;
thereby, reducing stormwater flow below the Site.
3. Restore and protect sensitive aquatic resources to improve habitat and species diversity
through the restoration of wetlands, streams and riparian buffers.
Restoration of jurisdictional wetlands which are aquatic resources to receiving waters associated
with MMSP a NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) listed natural area with multiple element
occurrences including animals, insects, and plants.
Site specific mitigation goals and objectives have been developed using the North Carolina Wetland
Assessment Method (NC WAM) and are discussed further in Section 5.0 (Functional Uplift and Project
Goals/Objectives).
3 BASELINE AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
3.1 Landform & Adjacent Land Uses
Just to the north of the Site, is MMSP (Figures 1, Appendix A). The 760-acre millpond is more than 190
years old with above mean seal level (MSL) elevations ranging from 6 feet at the pond surface to 30 feet
along the valley sides. MMSP is an alluvial swamp forest associated with Lassiter Swamp and Bennetts
Creek. The Site is adjacent to the south of MMSP on a flat to gently rolling interstream divide with
elevation reaching 39 feet above MSL. Lands abutting the Site have been in agricultural and/or silviculture
production since at least 1940 and likely for many years prior. Remnant and contemporary surface water
rills along with current and historic ditches are still present to facilitate current land uses.
The 1955 North Carolina Geological Survey aerial photograph for Gates County (Figure 3, Appendix A)
shows the Site and surrounding areas in agricultural production with forest around the edges very similar
to the current land use footprint. The 1940 USGS Beckford Topographic Quadrangle also indicates the Site
is in agricultural production, the Site has been in agricultural production for over 80 years. Typical crop
rotation for the last decade has been a winter wheat with cotton, soybeans, and/or corn.

3.2 Soils
The soils of the Site are a part of the Talbot Surface, separated from the younger Pamlico Surface by the
Suffolk Scarp, thought to be the old beach line found at MSL 25 feet. The soils on the Talbot Surface are
estimated to be between 145,000 — 220,000 years old and formed by fluvial or estuarine wave action
during with much of the area being covered by water in the form of a sound or bay (Frost 1982). A large
part of the Talbot Surface includes soils with a clayey subsoil and are poorly to very poorly drained due to
the flatness of the area not allowing natural drainage, as is the case with the Site's soils.
Based on Web Soil Survey mapping (USDA 2019), the Site contains the soil series outlined in Table 5.
Existing wetlands and drained hydric soils were mapped by North Carolina licensed soil scientists (NCLSS
# 1233 and NCLSS # 1297) on July 31, 2019 as soils of the Bladen and Pantego series (Figure 5B, Appendix
A); soil boring logs are included in Appendix B.

3.3 Project Site Waters of the U.S.
Waters of the U.S. within the Site were delineated in the field following guidelines set forth in the Corps
of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and subsequent regional supplement and located using GPS
technology with reported submeter accuracy (Environmental Laboratory 1987). A Preliminary
Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) package was submitted to the United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USAGE) (Appendix D). This was verified by USAGE representative Kyle Barnes and Anthony Scarborough
during a field meeting on September 15, 2020 and a notification of jurisdictional determination was
received on December 18, 2020. The Site currently contains 745 linear feet of jurisdictional ditches as
depicted on Figure 5A, Appendix A.
3.4 Hydrological Characterization
Construction activities are expected to restore 106.511 acres of drained non riparian hydric soils and
create 5.670 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. Areas of the Site targeted for restoration of non-riparian
wetlands will receive primary hydrological inputs from groundwater migration into wetlands,
li
groundwater/precipitation driven ephemeral surface water flows, and direct precipitation. Hydrological
impairment of the drained hydric soils has resulted from removal of surface water contributions through
a network of agricultural ditches and further facilitated by surface cuts to promote surface water runoff
within agricultural fields.

A water balance calculation was performed to determine if wetland hydrology will be restored by
removing the ditch outlet and restoring the disturbed restrictive soil layer in the existing ditches. The
water balance calculation was performed using nearby state operated weather station for hydrological
inputs and outputs as no direct hydrological measurements from the site are available. The calculation
determined a surplus of 3.4 acre-feet for the site on an annual basis which will support wetland hydrology
success criteria during years of normal precipitation.

3.5 Soil Characterization
Detailed soil mapping conducted by NCLSS #1297 in March 2020 and June 2020 indicates that the Site is
currently underlain by hydric soils of the Bladen and Pantego series.Wetlands have been ditched,drained,
and cleared for agricultural purposes. Detailed soil profiles conducted by a NCLSS are as follows in Table
6;the locations are depicted on Figure 5B,Appendix A and the soil boring profile descriptions are included
in Appendix B.
In general, Site soils were confirmed to be the soil map units mapped in the Gates County soil survey.
However, some of the soil map unit boundaries have been affected by past land use, particularly along
the western side of the project between the Bladen and Goldsboro soil map units.This is likely the result
of past land uses including the initial clearing and harvesting of timber and subsequent grading and
plowing for agricultural land use. These practices have altered the soil morphology to the extent that
Mitigation Plan(Project No.100139) page 10
Pierce Terrace Wetland Restoration Site Restoration Systems,LLC
Gates County,North Carolina May 2022

hydric soil indicators are distorted or removed completely along the boundary of the historic wetland.The
absence of redoximorphic concentrations in the upper 10-inches is a result of the removal of wetland
hydrology combined with decades of agricultural plowing. As this area was the historic wetland edge the
hydric indicators were not as distinct relative to the interior of the Site, and therefore was more
susceptible to a loss of the historic hydric soil indicator. Soil profiles in this area include mixing of the
surface and subsurface horizons below the plow layer, woody fragments, and historic root channels that
have filled in with sandy soil. These observations support anthropogenic manipulation of the soils and as
a result have affected the appearance of hydric soil indicators.The hydric soil indicators along the historic
boundary of the wetland are found at a lower depth than observed in drained hydric soils in the middle
of the Site.

3.6 Plant Community Characterization
The Site includes 106.511 acres proposed for wetland re-establishment and 5.670 acres proposed for
wetland creation which are currently used for agricultural row -crop production and have very little
vegetative diversity. The entire Site including ditches is subject to regular maintenance including bush
hogging and herbicide application.
4 REFERENCE FOREST ECOSYSTEM
A Reference Forest Ecosystem (RFE) is a forested area on which to model restoration efforts at the Site in
relation to soils and vegetation. RFEs should be ecologically stable climax communities and should be a
representative model of the Site as it likely existed prior to human disturbances. Data describing plant
community composition and structure should be collected at the RFEs and subsequently applied as
reference data in an attempt to emulate a natural climax community.
An RFE for this project was difficult to locate as most of the non-riverine wet hardwood and swamp forests
in the area have been ditched and drained in support of agricultural and silvicultural practices. Therefore,
data from the NatureServe Explorer, in addition to Schafale and Weakley (1990) and Schafale (2012),
community descriptions were used for the development of the planting plan. These wetland systems are
found on poorly drained mineral to mucky mineral soils of instream flats with sparse to moderate
herbaceous and shrub layers and a canopy of various bottomland hardwood species. Variations in
vegetation occur within the system and are associated with soil texture, drainage, and microtopography.
Small hummocks and depressions on the soil surface yield varying hydroperiods and increase vegetation
diversity. A natural transition between community types is expected moving from the middle of the Site
where a Pantego soil map unit exist outwards to the Bladen soil map unit. Based on this gradient, two
target communities were selected from Schafale (2012) to capture the diversity expected in this landscape
position: Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest (Oak Flat Subtype) (Southern Atlantic Coastal Plain
Nonriverine Swamp and Wet Hardwood Forest Unique ID # CES203.304, NatureServe 2018) and
Nonriverine Swamp Forest (Cypress -Gum Subtype) (Southern Atlantic Coastal Plain Nonriverine Swamp
and Wet Hardwood Forest Unique ID # CES203.304, NatureServe 2018). Dominant tree and shrub species
in these systems are listed in Table 7 and will be utilized, in addition to other relevant species to
supplement the community descriptions.
Also, a desktop assessment was performed of surrounding areas that included areas within the Bladen
soil series with minimal ditching and appeared to be at least 15+ years post disturbance. This resulted in
two areas one was a mosaic of pines and hardwoods within MMSP north of the pond and south of US
Highway 158 (36.4470, -76.6802), and the other was a contiguous hardwood stand southeast of the
project and north of Gatling Road (36.4273, -76.6422). In addition, we spoke with both landowners that
have lived in this area of Gates County for multiple generations one of which (S&M Farms, LLC) is a
silviculture company in Gates County, and also consulted with the Gates County Soil and Water District.
Collectively these pieces of information were used to compile the regional vegetative reference
community

5 FUNCTIONAL UPLIFT AND PROJECT GOALS/OBJECTIVES
The Site is located within TLW 03010203040040 and sub -basin 03-01-01. The project is not located within
a Local Watershed Planning area; however, project activities address priorities associated with the 2009
Chowan River Basin Restoration Priorities report as follow (see Section 2.0 for additional information).
1. Work with landowners, local governments, local conservancies, and other nongovernmental
groups to protect and restore watersheds through restoration and preservation.
2. Implement restoration projects to reduce sources of sedimentation, nutrient pollution, and
surface runoff.
3. Restore and protect sensitive aquatic resources to improve habitat and species diversity through
the restoration of wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers.
Site specific mitigation goals and objectives have been developed using the NC WAM analyses (NC WFAT
2010). This methodology rates functional metrics for wetlands as high, medium, or low based on field data
collected on forms and transferred into a rating calculator. Using Boolean logic, the rating calculator
assigns a high, medium, or low value for each metric and overall function. Site functional assessment data
forms are available upon request; model output is included in Appendix B.
Table 8 summarizes NC WAM metrics targeted for functional uplift and the corresponding mitigation
activities proposed to provide functional uplift. Metrics targeted to meet the Site's goals and objectives
are depicted in bold.

The NC WAM wetland types can be best classified as a disturbed hardwood flat and a disturbed non-
riverine swamp forest. Based on NC WAM data, all three primary Wetland Functional Metrics (Hydrology,
Water Quality, and Habitat), as well as six sub -metrics were found to be under -performing as exhibited
by a LOW metric rating. LOW performing metrics are to be targeted for functional uplift through mitigation
activities, goals and objectives, as well as monitoring and success criteria.
Wetland metrics, targeted for functional uplift, were used to define Site specific project goals and
objectives, and are presented in Table 9.

6 SITE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION CONSTRAINTS
The presence of conditions or characteristics that have the potential to hinder restoration activities on
the Site was evaluated. The evaluation focused primarily on the presence of hazardous materials, utilities
and restrictive easements, rare/threatened/endangered species or critical habitats, and the potential for
hydrologic trespass. Existing information regarding Site constraints was acquired and reviewed, including
a 0.25-foot topographic map. In addition, any Site conditions that have the potential to restrict the
restoration design and implementation were documented during the field investigation.
6.1 Threatened & Endangered Species
Three federally protected species are listed as occurring in Gates County (USFWS 2021); Table 10
summarizes potential habitat and preliminary biological conclusions for each.

6.2 Cultural Resources
The term "cultural resources" refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites, structures, or artifact
deposits over 50 years old. "Significant" cultural resources are those that are eligible or potentially eligible
for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Evaluations for cultural resources of significance
are made with reference to the eligibility criteria of the National Register (36 CFR 60) and in consultation
with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
Field visits were conducted at the Site in mid-2019 and early 2020 to ascertain the presence of structures
or other features that may be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. No
structures were identified within proposed easement boundaries. In addition, SHPO conducted a review
of the project and identified no historic resources which would be affected by the project (Appendix E).
6.3 North Carolina Natural Heritage Elements
A query of the NCNHP database indicates there are no records for rare species, important natural
communities, or natural areas conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary.
However, one record of a conservation/managed area within the proposed project boundary which is an
existing NCDMS conservation easement for the HMP. This managed area is not included within the Site
conservation easement as it already has its own conservation easement. Within a one -mile radius of the
project boundary, NCNHP lists 15 element occurrences including: one animal assemblage, two butterflies,
three mammals, two natural communities, one reptile, and six vascular plants. In addition, the Site is
within a one -mile radius of one natural area (Merchants Millpond State Park) and eleven managed areas
including: one NCDMS easement, one state park, one state park registered heritage area, and eight NCDA-
Division of Soil and Water conservation reserve enhancement program easements. NCNHP
correspondence is included in Appendix C.
6.4 Utilities
A powerline crosses the Site near Silver Springs Road. Discussions with Dominion Energy have taken place
to move the powerline out of the Site. A design and plan has been developed to relocate the powerline
Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100139)
Pierce Terrace Wetland Restoration Site
Gates County, North Carolina
page 20
Restoration Systems, LLC
May 2022

completely from the Site conservation easement, the relocated powerline will now follow Silver Springs
Road adjacent to the road right-of-way. The relocation of the powerline is scheduled to take place prior
to construction during winter of 2021/22. Utilities will not pose a hindrance to Site development.
6.5 Air Transport Facilities
No air transport facilities are located within 5 miles of the Site. The nearest airport is Liles Field airport
located 5.12 miles to the north in Corapeake, NC.
7 DESIGN APPROACH AND MITIGATION WORK PLAN
7.1 Wetland Restoration
Wetland restoration activities are designed to restore a fully functioning non -riparian wetland system,
which will provide surface water storage, nutrient cycling, removal of nutrients and sediment, and will
create a variety and abundance of habitat for wildlife.
Portions of the Site underlain by hydric soils have been impacted by drainage ditch excavation, vegetative
clearing, agriculture plowing, herbicide application, and other land disturbances associated with land use
management. Wetland re-establishment is focused on the restoration of vegetative communities, filling
and plugging of drainage ditches, removal of ditch crossings and culverts, re-establishment of soil
structure, re-establishment of historic ephemeral surface water flow and development of
microtopographic variations.
The design approach accentuates the Site's existing conditions and topographic features. Wetland
hydrology will be supported by an existing restrictive clay layer starting at a depth of 7 — 10 inches from
the surface and ranging from —50 — 65+ inches thick. This restrictive layer will facilitate reestablishment
of wetland hydrology by restricting vertical movement of water and allowing water to spread across the
Site. Naturally depressed areas associated with the Pantego soil map unit around HMP and scattered
throughout the Site were observed at elevations <34-feet (Figures 5A-B, Appendix A). These depressed
areas will serve as natural storage for hydrological inputs including surface water runoff and precipitation.
The design includes a braided surface water flow path (BSWFP) which will allow excess hydrological inputs
to migrate through the Site and facilitate the designed drainage of the roadside ditches along Silver
Springs Rd. The BSWFP will tie-in to the existing ditch along the HMP access at elevation 31.7-feet, from
there the BSWFP will taper up to elevation 33.0-feet and meander north adjacent to the eastern boundary
of HMP. The BSWFP will tie into the 33-foot contour adjacent to the northeast corner of HMP. The BSWFP
is designed to carry surface water at the 33.0-foot elevation as this will facilitate the flow gradient from
the Silver Springs Rd ditches which are surveyed at 33.5-feet. The base width of the BSWFP will be 15-feet
with 10:1 side slopes grading to the adjacent designed elevations. Within the 15-foot base width of the
BSWFP there will be multiple flow paths 2 — 4-feet wide and ^3-inches in depth (Figure 6, Appendix A and
Construction Plans, Appendix K). These features will also allow surface water to move freely across the
Site when hydrological inputs exceed the storage capacity of these topographic features. Retention of
surface hydrology will also be accomplished by disking the entire Site to a depth of 4-6 inches. Disking will
provide surface roughening to reduce compaction and provide microtopographic low areas to retain
precipitation and surface water. In addition, compaction of the surface soil horizon will be reduced from
the disking effort and provide an appropriate environment for the establishment of planted vegetation.
Additional design components include an upland buffer, placement of woody debris, and a one year rest
period from agriculture for the land prior to construction. The upland buffer surrounds a majority of
Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100139)
Pierce Terrace Wetland Restoration Site
Gates County, North Carolina
page 21
Restoration Systems, LLC
May 2022

Wetland 1 and will provide a buffer from adjacent agricultural operations as well as habitat variability
within the easement. Large woody debris will be placed throughout the Site to provide a source of organic
material for the soil and habitat for wildlife. Lastly, the easement area will have a period of rest before
construction to provide organic contributions from successional plant species and will provide an
opportunity to effectively treat any undesirable plant species prior to planting. These components will
facilitate the trajectory of the Site towards reestablishment of the historic wetland features.
The wetland re-establishment design included consideration for the existing HMP as well. Given that the
HMP has had difficulty achieving vegetation performance standards additional consideration was given to
the Site's ditch plugging and hydrology restoration. The HMP includes a berm around the eastern,
southern, and western boundaries with elevations ranging from 34.5 — 35.0-feet. The northern side does
not have a berm, and the elevation is 34-feet. Initially, the five ditch plugs for the HMP were set to an
elevation of 34-feet, then in December 2020 following an approved Adaptive Management Plan, were
adjusted to 33.7-feet. The Site's design includes two ditch plugs within the ditches in the vicinity of the
HMP, this ditch plugs will be set to elevation 33.5-feet to provide a positive gradient exists for excess
hydrology to move away from the HMP and onto the Site. Additionally, the Site's design will restore soil
surface microtopography and eliminate ephemeral agricultural rills, reducing the amount and rate at
which ephemeral water moves towards and around the HMP.
7.2 Ditch Modifications & Plugging
In order to reestablish wetland hydrology an assessment of the HMP mitigation plan, as -built, and
monitoring reports was performed to identify how wetland hydrology has responded following
restoration. Additionally, this assessment would aim to ensure the Site would not adversely affect HMP.
The HMP data included a lateral drainage analysis for both the Bladen and Pantego soil series, which
resulted in an upland berm being designed/constructed around HMP. During the span from May 2017 to
March 2018 the farmer excavated a ditch immediately adjacent to the HMP conservation easement. This
ditch network removed surface water from the adjacent farm fields; however, had no effect on the
wetland hydroperiod as observed in the HMP gauges. In addition, the annual rainfall for 2018 was 20-
inches less than 2017 and still the wetland hydroperiods were approximately the same for 2017 and 2018.
This data demonstrated that the water table is perched and the function of the ditches is to remove
surface water rather to control groundwater. Furthermore, wetland hydroperiods for HMP appeared to
be hindering growth of woody species and as a part of an 2021 Adaptive Management Plan the historic
ditch outlet elevations were lowered by 4-inches to facilitate removal of excess surface water. The
lowering of the ditch plugs proved to be an effective measure in reducing wetland hydroperiods.
Reestablishment of wetland hydrology for the Site was based on this data and information.
Hydrological inputs will be retained on Site by installing five clay ditch plugs, five in Wetland 1 and one in
Wetland 2. The ditch plug locations were selected based on confluences of primary conveyance ditches.
Existing ditch sections between the plugs will be backfilled with impervious material from local borrow
areas, comprised primarily of silt and clay. Ditches will be backfilled to match the depth of the adjacent
soil surface on both sides of the existing ditches to reconnect the restrictive layer. The minimum distance
from the wetland credit areas to the nearest ditch to remain open will be 50-feet. Ditch plug lengths will
be a minimum of 50-feet and will include non -woven filter fabric underneath the clay material used for
the ditch plug. (Construction Plans, Appendix K).
Three borrow areas will provide fill material for ditch backfilling. Borrow areas number 1 and 2 are
adjacent to Wetland 1 and are within the conservation easement. These two borrow areas are being
proposed as wetland creation. Borrow area number 3 is outside the conservation easement area adjacent
to Wetland 2 and is designed to be a pond in an upland area for the landowner. Following excavation,

borrow areas number 1 and 2 will be stabilized with the temporary and permanent seed mix before being
planted with species from the non-riverine swamp forest planting list.
There are a total of 13 culverts within or adjacent to the Site. The one internal culvert associated with
Wetland 1 will be completely removed. Two farm path culverts outside of the Site easement located near
the outfall for Wetland 1 are stable and functioning. Seven of the ten culverts outside of the Site easement
located along the roadside ditches of Silver Springs Road will be completely removed to facilitate flow of
surface water. The remaining three roadside culverts are stable and will be cleaned of sediment and debris
to allow for NCDOT designed flow and capacity. The three remaining culverts will provide access to the
HMP and the remaining land not within the easement. NCDOT Division One — District One has approved
encroachment agreements for these seven culverts will be removed to allow excess surface water to move
down gradient and avoid hydrologic trespass (Figure 6, Appendix A and Appendix L).
7.3 Ditch Outfall Structures
To provide a long-term stable outlet three log sill structures will be constructed in each of the three
current ditch outfall locations. The gradient along the ditch outfalls will be <2% which will provide
hydrology for the re-establishment of wetlands and allow excess water to move downgradient along the
established outlets. Live stake plantings will be installed around each of the log sill structures to provide
long-term stability and an added stability measure in the event the log sill structures rot. If the soil
removed from the ditches is suitable for reuse onsite it will be spread within the wetland asset areas if
not it will be disposed of offsite.
The log sill for the ditch outlet associated with Wetland 1 will start approximately at elevation 32.0 feet
(elevation not tied to grid). It will be keyed in along the existing ditch grade. Downgradient from the log
sill, the ditch bottom will be excavated 1 to 2-feet below final grade and backfilled with Class -A stone. The
aggregate material will extend approximately 383 feet downgradient (north) towards the existing farm
path crossing with a final elevation grade matching the existing ditch at 22.0 feet (elevation not tied to
grid) (Figure 6, Appendix A and Construction Plans, Appendix K).
The log sill for the northern ditch outlet associated with Wetland 2 will start approximately at elevation
33.0 feet (elevation not tied to grid). It will be keyed in along the existing ditch grade. Downgradient from
the log sill, the ditch bottom will be excavated 1 to 2-feet below final grade and backfilled with Class -A
stone. The aggregate material will extend approximately 65 feet downgradient (east) towards the existing
farm path crossing with a final elevation grade matching the existing ditch at 31.5 feet (elevation not tied
to grid) (Figure 6, Appendix A and Construction Plans, Appendix K).
The log sill for the southern ditch outlet associated with Wetland 2 will start approximately at elevation
33.0 feet (elevation not tied to grid). It will be keyed in along the existing ditch grade. Downgradient from
the log sill, the ditch bottom will be excavated 1 to 2-feet below final grade and backfilled with Class -A
stone. The aggregate material will extend approximately 87 feet downgradient (east) towards the edge
of the field with a final elevation grade matching the existing ditch at 31.5 feet (elevation not tied to grid)
(Figure 6, Appendix A and Construction Plans, Appendix K).
7.4 Natural Plant Community Restoration
Restoration of vegetation allows for the development and expansion of characteristic species across the
landscape. Ecotonal changes between community types contribute to habitat diversity and provide
secondary benefits, such as enhanced feeding and nesting opportunities for mammals, birds, amphibians,
and other wildlife. RFE data, onsite observations, and community descriptions from Classification of the
Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990, 2012) were used to develop the
Mitigation Plan (Project No. 100139)

Restoration Systems, LLC
May 2022

primary plant community associations that will be promoted during community restoration activities; the
community association to be utilized are Non-Riverine Wet Hardwood Forest and Non-Riverine Swamp
Forest.
Bare -root seedlings will be planted at a density of approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers
across the entire Site. Planting will be performed between November 15 and March 15 to allow plants to
stabilize during the dormant period and set root during the spring season. Lower areas in the landscape
which are intended to hold surface water will be planted with an additional 320 stems per acre with
specific species tolerant of inundation of extended periods of time.
Table 11 depicts the species, the total number of stems, and distribution for bare -root planting. The entire
Site (125.73 acres) will be planted with species from the Non-riverine Wet Hardwood Forest Planting List.
Non-riverine Swamp Forest areas (15.49 acres) will receive an additional 335 stems per acre of species
tolerant to extended periods of inundation.
Ditch outfalls and other select areas will be live -staked as needed using species from the primary planting
list and/or the following species: Cephalanthus occidentalis, Salix nigra, Salix caroliniana, Sambucus nigra.

7.5 Permanent Seed Mix
While Site success criteria are driven by establishing an appropriate canopy tree species, restoration of
understory vegetation will provide significant additional ecological benefit. Broadcast seeding efforts will
achieve initial soil stabilization, mid-term pollinator benefit, and long-term Site diversity. An herbaceous
seed mix including native grasses and forbs will be planted throughout the Site, including the upland
buffer areas and wetland creation borrow areas. Table 12 outlines the species proposed for inclusion in
the permanent seed mix, subject to availability.

The existing HMP has met the wetland hydrology performance standard in all nine monitoring wells for
six years (2015-2020), with the exception of one monitoring well during the first monitoring year (2015).
The average wetland hydroperiod for HMP from 2016-2020 has been 39% of the growing season, far
exceeding the wetland performance standard. Even when considering the HMP hydrology has been
affected by a berm around three sides of the project, a lack of appropriate ephemeral outlets, and some
years of wetter than normal rainfall the data gives strong confidence that the Bladen and Pantego soils
are capable of supporting wetland hydrology. As a result, the proposed number of groundwater gauges
for the Site has been reduced, specifically related to the interior wetland re-establishment areas. Site
groundwater gauges are intentionally placed in transects along the perimeter and intermittently in the
interior of the wetland re-establishment area. Groundwater gauges are also included in the wetland
creation areas. Five pre -construction gauges were installed on February 10, 2022 and data is provided in
Appendix B.
Vegetation monitoring for the Site includes permanent vegetation plots and random vegetation transects
for upland buffer areas, wetland creation areas, and wetland re-establishment areas. The number of
vegetation monitoring plots and transects has been adjusted downward to account for the size and
homogeneity of the Site. This was done based on the detailed soils evaluation confirming that a majority
of the Site is comprised of the Bladen soil map unit. Also, HMP's monitoring reports indicate soils and
vegetation have little to no variability throughout. Fixed photo points along the CE boundary and detailed
drone mapping will occur annually.

upland buffers with the remaining 17 random transects to be located in credit generating wetland assets.
8.1 Success Criteria
Monitoring and success criteria for wetland restoration should relate to project goals and objectives
identified from NC WAM data collection. From a mitigation perspective, several goals and objectives are
assumed to be functionally elevated by restoration activities without direct measurement. Other goals
and objectives will be considered successful upon achieving success criteria. Table 15 summarizes Site
success criteria.

9 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
In the event the mitigation Site or a specific component of the mitigation Site fails to achieve the necessary
performance standards as specified in the mitigation plan, the sponsor shall notify the members of the
IRT and work with the IRT to develop contingency plans and remedial actions.
The mitigation plan has been prepared to address potential problems that may arise during the
monitoring period, including vegetation and hydrology performance standards, hydrologic trespass,
easement encroachment, and stability of hydrologic outlets. However, even with careful consideration
within the mitigation plan, potential risks and uncertainties may exist that could result in problems.

10 LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Site will be transferred to the NCDEQ Stewardship Program. This party shall serve as conservation
easement holder and long-term steward for the property and will conduct periodic inspections of the Site
to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. Funding will be supplied by
the responsible party on a yearly basis until such time an endowment is established. 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.
11 PROJECT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
11.1 Land -use Development & Easement Encroachment:
Future single-family development is unlikely in the immediate vicinity of the Site. Currently, existing
managed timberland and row crops are the only active land uses adjacent to the Site. Appropriate signage
and tree painting will occur along forested and agricultural boundaries to decrease the risk of
encroachment from adjacent land use.
11.2 Extreme Climatic Conditions:
The Site's design addresses altering climatic conditions in many ways. The improvement of existing
landscape depressions will provide enhanced storage during times of drought, benefiting both terrestrial
and aquatic species. The Site's designed water flow path will ensure excess water is not kept on Site after
extreme rain events.
11.3 Hydrologic Trespass:
With the Site's relatively flat nature, the possibility of hydrologic trespass was given additional scrutiny. A
0.5-foot contour interval map was generated by K2 Design Group (PLS License # 4194) and was used in
combination with the NC Floodplain Mapping Program's QL2 LiDAR 0.5-foot contour intervals to develop
the Site's design. This added detailed allowed for site -specific and area topographic data to be evaluated
congruently to ensure the design would not result in hydrologic trespass to adjacent parcels.
The analysis determined that Site restoration would not hydrologically affect adjacent parcels. Adjacent
properties are at a higher elevation than the Site itself, this will ensure surface water inputs will be allowed
to migrate through the Site, increasing surface water storage. (Figure 5, Appendix A). Also, portions of the
Site includes an upland buffer ranging in width from 20 to 400+ feet and will further protect the Site from
potential encroachment and prevent hydrologic trespass to adjacent parcels. Similarly, Silver Springs Road
sits at an elevation higher than the Site and includes roadside ditches on either side. The removal of failed
culverts along the ditches of Silver Springs Road will promote the designed flow and drainage relief for
the road. Additionally, there is a non -crediting buffer (30 — 50-foot width) between Silver Springs Road
and the wetland re-establishment areas to further ensure no hydrologic trespass.
The HMP includes an elevated non -crediting berm which encloses the wetland re-establishment area on
three sides. There are five ditch plugs along the berm approximately where the historic ditches were
plugged. These ditch plugs were lowered by 4-inches in the fall/winter of 2020 to facilitate the removal of
excess water from the HMP. As a result, the out hydrologic outlets for the HMP area at a higher elevation
relative to the Site. This will allow water to move from the HMP to the Site and prevent water from moving
into the HMP.

1. Ground Surface Condition/Vegetation Condition—assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider alteration to the ground surface(GS)in the assessment area and vegetation structure(VS)in the
assessment area. Compare to reference wetland if applicable(see User Manual). If a reference is not applicable,then rate the assessment
area based on evidence an effect.
GS VS
❑A ❑A Not severely altered
®B ®B Severely altered over a majority of the assessment area(ground surface alteration examples: vehicle tracks,excessive
sedimentation, fire-plow lanes, skidder tracks, bedding, fill, soil compaction, obvious pollutants) (vegetation structure
alteration examples: mechanical disturbance,herbicides,salt intrusion[where appropriate],exotic species,grazing,less
diversity[if appropriate],hydrologic alteration)
2. Surface and Sub-Surface Storage Capacity and Duration—assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface storage capacity and duration(Surf)and sub-surface storage capacity and duration(Sub).
Consider both increase and decrease in hydrology. A ditch <_ 1 foot deep is considered to affect surface water only,while a ditch > 1 foot
deep is expected to affect both surface and sub-surface water. Consider tidal flooding regime, if applicable.
Surf Sub
❑A ❑A Water storage capacity and duration are not altered.
❑B ❑B Water storage capacity or duration are altered,but not substantially(typically, not sufficient to change vegetation).
®C ®C Water storage capacity or duration are substantially altered (typically, alteration sufficient to result in vegetation change)
(examples:draining,flooding,soil compaction,filling,excessive sedimentation, underground utility lines).
3. Water Storage/Surface Relief—assessment area/wetland type condition metric(skip for all marshes)
Check a box in each column. Select the appropriate storage for the assessment area(AA)and the wetland type(WT).
AA WT
3a. ❑A ❑A Majority of wetland with depressions able to pond water> 1 deep
❑B ❑B Majority of wetland with depressions able to pond water 6 inches to 1 foot deep
❑C ❑C Majority of wetland with depressions able to pond water 3 to 6 inches deep
®D ®D Depressions able to pond water<3 inches deep
3b. ❑A Evidence that maximum depth of inundation is greater than 2 feet
❑B Evidence that maximum depth of inundation is between 1 and 2 feet
®C Evidence that maximum depth of inundation is less than 1 foot

4. Soil Texture/Structure—assessment area condition metric(skip for all marshes)
Check a box from each of the three soil property groups below. Dig soil profile in the dominant assessment area landscape feature.
Make soil observations within the top 12 inches. Use most recent National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils guidance for regional
indicators.
4a. ❑A Sandy soil
®B Loamy or clayey soils exhibiting redoximorphic features(concentrations,depletions, or rhizospheres)
❑C Loamy or clayey soils not exhibiting redoximorphic features
❑D Loamy or clayey gleyed soil
❑E Histosol or histic epipedon
4b. ❑A Soil ribbon < 1 inch
®B Soil ribbon >_ 1 inch
4c. ®A No peat or muck presence
❑B A peat or muck presence
5. Discharge into Wetland—opportunity metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface pollutants or discharges(Surf)and sub-surface pollutants or discharges(Sub). Examples
of sub-surface discharges include presence of nearby septic tank,underground storage tank(UST),etc.
Surf Sub
❑A ❑A Little or no evidence of pollutants or discharges entering the assessment area
®B ®B Noticeable evidence of pollutants or discharges entering the wetland and stressing,but not overwhelming the
treatment capacity of the assessment area
❑C ❑C Noticeable evidence of pollutants or discharges(pathogen,particulate, or soluble)entering the assessment area and
potentially overwhelming the treatment capacity of the wetland(water discoloration,dead vegetation,excessive
sedimentation,odor)
6. Land Use—opportunity metric(skip for non-riparian wetlands)
Check all that apply(at least one box in each column). Evaluation involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. Consider sources draining
to assessment area within entire upstream watershed(WS),within 5 miles and within the watershed draining to the assessment area (5M),
and within 2 miles and within the watershed draining to the assessment area(2M).
WS 5M 2M
❑A ❑A ❑A > 10%impervious surfaces
❑B ❑B ❑B Confined animal operations(or other local,concentrated source of pollutants
❑C ❑C ❑C >_20%coverage of pasture
®D ®D ®D >_20%coverage of agricultural land (regularly plowed land)
❑E ❑E ❑E >_20%coverage of maintained grass/herb
❑F OF OF >_20%coverage of clear-cut land
❑G ❑G ❑G Little or no opportunity to improve water quality. Lack of opportunity may result from little or no disturbance in
the watershed or hydrologic alterations that prevent drainage and/or overbank flow from affecting the
assessment area.
7. Wetland Acting as Vegetated Buffer—assessment area/wetland complex condition metric(skip for non-riparian wetlands)
7a. Is assessment area within 50 feet of a tributary or other open water?
❑Yes No If Yes,continue to 7b. If No,skip to Metric 8.
Wetland buffer need only be present on one side of the water body. Make buffer judgment based on the average width of wetland.
Record a note if a portion of the buffer has been removed or disturbed.
7b. How much of the first 50 feet from the bank is wetland? (Wetland buffer need only be present on one side of the.water body. Make
buffer judgment based on the average width of wetland. Record a note if a portion of the buffer has been removed or disturbed.)
❑A >_50 feet
❑B From 30 to<50 feet
❑C From 15 to<30 feet
❑D From 5 to< 15 feet
❑E <5 feet or buffer bypassed by ditches
7c. Tributary width. If the tributary is anastomosed,combine widths of channels/braids for a total width.
❑<_ 15-feet wide ❑> 15-feet wide ❑ Other open water(no tributary present)
7d. Do roots of assessment area vegetation extend into the bank of the tributary/open water?
❑Yes ❑No
7e. Is stream or other open water sheltered or exposed?
❑Sheltered—adjacent open water with width <2500 feet and no regular boat traffic.
❑Exposed—adjacent open water with width >_2500 feet or regular boat traffic.
8. Wetland Width at the Assessment Area—wetland type/wetland complex condition metric(evaluate WT for all marshes and
Estuarine Woody Wetland only; evaluate WC for Bottomland Hardwood Forest, Headwater Forest, and Riverine Swamp Forest
only)
Check a box in each column for riverine wetlands only. Select the average width for the wetland type at the assessment area(WT)and
the wetland complex at the assessment area(WC). See User Manual for WT and WC boundaries.
WT WC
®A ®A >_ 100 feet
❑B ❑B From 80 to< 100 feet

Pierce Terrace Water Balance Calculation
Water Budget Equation
The hydrologic cycle of a wetland can be expressed in a water budget that accounts for water
inflows and outflows to the system, as follows:
❑S = [P+ Si+Gi] —[ET+ So+Go]
where:
AS =change in volume of water storage in a defined area over time
P =precipitation
Si =surface-water inflow
Gi=ground-water inflow
ET=evapotranspiration
So= surface water outflow
Go= groundwater outflow
Water Budget Calculation Assumptions
This drained Hardwood Flat wetland will be restored as two wetland polygons. The following
assumptions apply to the water budget calculation:
1. Precipitation that falls within the 105-acre footprint will be the primary hydrologic input.
2. Surface-water and ground-water inflow will be secondary hydrologic inputs and are not
expected to be critical factors in restoring wetland hydrology. This is assumed because
of the landscape position of the wetland is an interstream divide and the surrounding
land use practices mostly being forestry which convey water down gradient through a
network of ditches. The Site is surrounded by Hydric B soils which will provide
supplemental hydrological inputs.
3. Currently surface water outflow for the site is being conveyed off the Site via a ditch
network system, and will be eliminated by removal of existing ditches and associated
outlets. Water will leave the Site once it reaches a set elevation to be determined during
final design in order to prevent hydrologic trespass on adjacent properties.
4. The primary soil series associated with the Site is Bladen loam 0-2%slopes (NRC S soil
mapunit BnA)which is poorly drained with slow permeability. Land management
practices for this soil series include forestry and agricultural,both activities include a
ditch network system coupled with surface manipulation to remove hydrological inputs
in order to achieve sustainable production. Once the Site's ditches are filled and outlets

removed the hydrological inputs will be retained resulting in restoration of wetland
hydrology.
Based on these assumptions it is assumed that no significant groundwater or surface water
inflow/outflow will occur at the Site to the degree that it will affect the restoration of wetland
hydrology. Applying these assumptions to the water budget equation, modifies the water balance
equation for the Site to:
AS = [P] —[ET]
Precipitation
The USDA NRCS provides Wetlands Climate Tables through the Agricultural Applied Climate
System(AgACIS)which includes climate data and summary reports. There are two AgACIS
weather stations in Gates County,however both had incomplete datasets that could not be used
for this exercise. As an alternative The State Office of North Carolina at NCSU developed the
NC Climate Retrieval and Observations Network of the Southeast Database (NC CRONOS)
which provides precipitation data. There is one NC CRONOS weather station listed for Gates
County. The weather station used is Buckland Elementary(ID—BUCK)which is located—6-
miles to the west northwest of the Site in Gates County. The weather station was established in
September 2006 and data is limited therefore precipitation data is the average of precipitation
data collected from 2015 —2019.
Evapotranspiration
As discussed above in the water budget calculation assumptions surface water and groundwater
outflows will be eliminated during construction of the Site, leaving evapotranspiration as the
only water loss for the system after construction is complete. The NC CRONOS BUCK weather
station also provides Daily Reference Crop Evapotranspiration(ETo)and Daily Crop
Evapotranspiration(ETc) for the previous 48-months at their weather stations around the state. A
crop coefficient is multiplied by the ETo in order to calculate ETc.
The data was accessed from the NC CRONOS BUCK weather station in August 2019, and
provided ETo and ETc data. Field soybean at mid-season growth stage was selected for ETc as
this crop has the highest water loss through evapotranspiration of the crops previously grown at
the Site. The ETo and ETc data provided was from Jan 2015—July 2019, and was averaged for
each month in order to perform the water budget calculation.

Results and Conclusions
The monthly and annual water budget results for the proposed wetlands are presented in the
"Water Budget Net Balance+1-"column of the table above.A monthly running total of the water
budget is presented in"Water Budget Remaining Total+1-"column of the table above. No water
deficits were observed in the calculation during any month of the year.A water surplus is
available on a monthly and annual basis. This analysis reflects monthly water budget conditions
based on monthly direct precipitation and subtracting monthly evapotranspiration to arrive at
monthly water budget summaries.
Based on this calculation-3.4-feet surplus of water will cover the entire 105-acre Site on an
annual basis. Considering the limited hydrologic outlets associated with the Site the proposed
wetland project will be able to meet the wetland hydrology requirement during years of normal
precipitation.

RE: Pierce Terrace Site- Oct-2021
Dear Alexander Baldwin:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
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. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund
easement, or an occurrence of a Federally-listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There are waters on the above described project area, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33
USC§ 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403). The waters have been delineated,and
the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction
determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of
computation of impacts,compensatory mitigation requirements,and other resource protection measures,a permit decision made
on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on
the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under die
Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process(Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However,you may request an approved JD,
which is an appealable action,by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
_ There are wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33
USC§ 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403).However,since the
waters,including wetlands, have not been properly delineated,this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the
permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation,this preliminary determination is merely an effective
presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters,including wetlands, at the project area,which is not sufficiently
accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters of the U.S. on your
property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to
obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
_ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403)and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC§
1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations,this determination may be relied upon for a period not to
exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are waters of the U.S.,including wetlands, on the above described project area subject to the permit requirements of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC§ 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,
this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ We recommend you have the waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish
this wetland delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by
the Corps.

_ The waters of the U.S.,including wetlands, on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been verified
by the Coips. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion,this survey should be reviewed and
verified by the Corps. Once verified,this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on
your property which,provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations,may be relied upon for a period not to
exceed five years.
_ The waters of the U.S.,including wetlands, have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed
by the Coips Regulatory Official identified below on .Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations,this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are no waters of the U.S.,to include wetlands,present on the above described project area which are subject to the permit
requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations,this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City,NC,at(252)808-2808 to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US,including wetlands,without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act(33 USC§ 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material,construction or
placement of structures,or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Anny permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(33 USC§401 and/or 403).If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program,please contact Kyle Barnes at(910)251-4584 or

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD)for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP)or other general permit verification requiring "pre-
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1)the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2)the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3)the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit)or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit(and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "maybe"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:

401 S. Griffin Street,Suite 300
Elizabeth City, NC 27909
Re: Pierce Terrace Wetland Mitigation Site,Gates County, NC
Mr. Renaldi,
Restoration Systems,LLC(RS),of Raleigh,NC has been awarded a contract by DMS to provide 105 Wetland
Mitigation Units at the Pierce Terrace Wetland Mitigation Site in Gates County, North Carolina.
One of the earliest tasks to be performed by RS is completion of an environmental screening and
preparation/submittal of a Categorical Exclusion(CE)document. This document is specifically required by
the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA)to ensure compliance with various federal environmental laws
and regulations. DMS must demonstrate that its projects comply with federal mandates as a precondition
to FHWA reimbursement of compensatory mitigation costs borne by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation to offset its projects' unavoidable impacts to streams and wetlands.
In order for the project to proceed, RS is obligated to coordinate with your office to determine if our
proposal will involve any Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs).This letter provides you with certain
details of the Pierce Terrace Non-Riparian Wetland Mitigation Site, including the project's location, a
general description of its physiography, hydrography and existing land uses,as well as the intended
modifications to the site proposed by RS.We request your review of the details provided and make a
determination of whether CAMA jurisdiction will be taken on any portion of the proposed site.
Project Location& Description
The Site is characterized by agricultural fields utilized for row crop production.All Site hydrology drains
through a ditch network to Bennett's Creek and Lassiter Swamp.The Site is entirely encompassed within
agricultural fields that have been ditched/drained,cleared of vegetation, and are maintained for row
crop production.The proposed conservation easement area is approximately 127.5 acres in size.
The Site is located approximately 2 miles west of Sunbury, 5 miles northeast of Gatesville,and
immediately east of Merchant Millpond State Park. Intensive agricultural practices exist across the
entire Site.Agricultural fields within and adjacent to the Site are subject to routine fertilizer and
herbicide applications including poultry litter.Site ditches are excavated on an annual basis to remove
sediment loss from agricultural practices as the result of traditional plowing methods and fields left
fallow outside of the growing season. All native vegetation and woody material has been removed from
the Site. In general, all wetland functions associated with hydrology,water quality,and habitat have
been removed.
Adjacent land management activities include silviculture and agriculture practices.These areas include

lateral ditching, shallow surface drains, subsurface drains, and planting beds to rapidly remove surface
and subsurface water from these poorly drained soils which contribute nutrient, sediment, and fecal
coliform into Merchant Millpond State Park.
Restoration Means & Methods
Alternatives for wetland re-establishment are designed to restore a fully functioning wetland system,
which will provide surface water storage, nutrient cycling, removal of imported elements and
compounds, and will create a variety and abundance of wildlife habitat.
Portions of the Site underlain by hydric soils have been impacted by ditching, vegetative clearing,
agriculture plowing, and other land disturbances associated with land use management. Wetland re-
establishment options will focus on the restoration of vegetative communities and historic groundwater
tables, and the reestablishment of soil structure and microtopographic variations. In addition, the
construction of (or provisions for) surface water storage depressions (ephemeral pools) will also add an
important component to groundwater restoration activities. Large woody debris/material will also be
added to the Site to facilitate habitat development and provide a carbon source for development of
wetland functions. These activities will result in the re-establishment of approximately 105 acres of
jurisdictional non -riparian wetlands.
A key aspect of this wetland restoration project involves maintaining suitable, arable farmland outside
the conservation easement. Landowner requirements include leaving drainage features outside the
easement and upgrading two ditches leading away from the Site to keep the adjacent farmland suitable
for agriculture. This will require connecting a ditch north of the Site through a culverted agriculture road
crossing and directing surface water away from the Site towards the north. A second ditch running
parallel to an entrance road will be cleaned, potentially deepened, and stabilized. These
improvements/actions will result in a long-term balance between achievement of Site goals/objectives
and maintaining adjacent land uses.
To maintain adjacent agriculture operations, several surface swales are proposed to direct Site
hydrology to the offsite ditch network. Surface swales are expected to be approximately 0.5 ft in depth
and are proposed to be disconnected draws that direct water away from agriculture fields towards
drainage features. If necessary, drop structures may be used to hinder headcut development through
the Site. Drop structures will be constructed of woody debris, rock or marl, and or natural fiber matting.
Drop structures are not proposed to be constructed within the boundaries of the wetland restoration
area and will not be included in mitigation crediting areas.
Bare -root seedlings will be planted at a density of approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers.
Planting will be performed between November 15 and March 15 to allow plants to stabilize during the
dormant period and set root during the spring season. Potential species planted within the Site may
include the following.
Should you have any questions or if any additional information is needed to complete the Form, please feel
free to contact me at the office 919.274.2419. Your valuable time and cooperation are much appreciated.

SURROUNDING SITES: SEARCH RESULTS
Surrounding sites were identified in the following databases.
Elevations have been determined from the USGS Digital Elevation Model and should be evaluated on
a relative (not an absolute) basis. Relative elevation information between sites of close proximity
should be field verified. Sites with an elevation equal to or higher than the target property have been
differentiated below from sites with an elevation lower than the target property.
Page numbers and map identification numbers refer to the EDR Radius Map report where detailed
data on individual sites can be reviewed.
Sites listed in bold italics are in multiple databases.
Unmappable(orphan)sites are not considered in the foregoing analysis.

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

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

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

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

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

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

EDR's GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum is provided to assist the environmental professional in
forming an opinion about the impact of potential contaminant migration.
Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components:
1. Groundwater flow direction, and
2. Groundwater flow velocity.
Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology,characteristics
of the soil,and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the
geologic strata.
TC5969561.2s Page A-1

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

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

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

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

Re: Pierce Terrace Wetland Mitigation Project, Gates County, NC
Dear Renee,
The purpose of this letter is to request written concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO)for the Pierce Terrace Wetland Mitigation Project in Gates County,a Full-Delivery project for the N.C.
Davison of Mitigation Services. Please review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with
respect to SHPO from a potential stream restoration project depicted on the attached mapping.
Project Name: Pierce Terrace Wetland Mitigation Project
Project Location: 149 Silver Springs Rd.Sunbury, NC 27979
Project Contact: JD Hamby, Restoration Systems LLC, 1101 Haynes St. Suite 211,
Raleigh, NC 27604
Project Description: The project has been identified for the purpose of providing in-kind mitigation for
unavoidable stream channel and wetland impacts. Permits from the NC DWR and USACE will be obtained to
restore waters of the US. Soil and erosion control permits will also be obtained.The project encompasses
127.5 acres of drain hydric soils, currently used for row crops. Approximately 105 acres of non-riparian
wetland will be restored.
The term "cultural resources" refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites,structures, or artifact
deposits over 50 years old. "Significant"cultural resources are those that are eligible or potentially
eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Evaluations of site significance are made
with reference to the eligibility criteria of the National Register(36 CFR 60) and in consultation with the
North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office(SHPO).
Field visits were conducted in August 2019 to conduct evaluations for presence of structures or features
that may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. No structures were identified within the
Site boundaries that may be eligible for the National Register. In addition to field reviews for historically
relevant structures, a records search was conducted at the SHPO office to determine if documented
occurrences of historic structures or artifacts occur within,or adjacent to the Site. The SHPO records
identify no existing features within the Site boundaries and three features within a 1.0 mile radius of the

Site.They are the Lassiter-Nixon Farm (GA0218), Rountree-Wiggins Farm (GA0300), and the Jones-
Hinton House(Gone) (GA0202).
Typical SHPO coordination will occur prior to construction activities to determine if any significant
cultural resources are present; however, no constraints are expected at this time. We thank you in
advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact me with any questions
that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.
Yours truly,

RE: Pierce Terrace; 19-001.06
Dear Allison Keith:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
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. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/I istOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water
Management Trust Fund easement, or an occurrence of a Federally-listed species is documented
near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919-707-8603.

There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the
NCNHP database does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that
the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the project
area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our
database.

Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-01444
Project Name: Pierce Terrace Mitigation Site
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service)under section 7(c)of the Endangered Species Act(Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information.An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally-listed endangered or threatened species.A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally-protected species list,information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

02/13/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-01444 2
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http:Ilwww.fws.govlraleigh. 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:llwww.fws.govlwindenergyl
eagle_guidance.html).Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http:Ilwww.fws.govlwindenergyl)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.govlmigratorybirdslCurrentBirdIssues/Hazardsltowersltowers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http:llwww.fws.govlmigratorybirdsJCurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers)
comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service.Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis

Consultation Code: 04EN2000-2020-SLI-0644
Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-01444
Project Name: Pierce Terrace Mitigation Site
Project Type: LAND -RESTORATION/ENHANCEMENT
Project Description: The Site is positioned 2 miles west of Sunbury, NC and is less than 1-mile
east of Merchants Millpond State Park, a listed natural area by the North
Carolina Natural Heritage Program. Situated on marine terraces adjacent
to Bennett's Creek and Lassiter Swamp, the Site is within the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources'(NCDWR)Targeted Local
Watershed 03010203040040. Restoration activities will include filling of
existing agricultural ditches, removing surface water outlets, and
roughening of the soil surface in areas of drained hydric soils. Non-
riverine hardwood flat and swamp forested vegetative communities will
be restored throughout the easement through planting of woody
vegetation.
The Site encompasses 127.5 acres of agricultural land used for row crop
production.Within the project area, is the 27.1 acre Hofler Mitigation
Site, a DMS non-riparian wetland mitigation site constructed in the fall of
2014. This site provides for restoration and protection of aquatic resources
with a conservation easement and will result in net gains in hydrology,
water quality, and habitat(physical, chemical, and biological) functions.

Dear Mrs.Browning:
The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the project advertised in the above
referenced Public Notice. The project, as advertised in the Public Notice, is expected to have
minimal adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Therefore,we have no objection to the
activity as described in the permit application.
In accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, (ESA)and based on the
information provided,and other available information, it appears the action is not likely to
adversely affect federally listed species or their critical habitat as defined by the ESA. We believe
that the requirements of section 7(a)(2)of the ESA have been satisfied forthis project. Please
remember that obligations under the ESA must be reconsidered if: (1)new information identifies
impacts of this action that may affect listed species at-critical habitat in a manner not previously
considered;(2)this action is modified in a manner that was not considered in this review;or,(3)a
new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
For your convenience a list of all federally protected endangered and threatened species in North
Carolina is now available on our website at<http://www,fws.gav/raleigh>. Our web page contains
a complete and updated list of federally protected species, and a list of federal species of concern

Re: Pierce Terrace Wetland Mitigation Site,Gates County, NC
Restoration Systems, LLC (RS), of Raleigh, NC has been awarded a contract by DMS to provide Wetland
Mitigation Units at the Pierce Terrace Wetland Mitigation Site in Gates County,North Carolina.
One of the earliest tasks to be performed by RS is completion of an environmental screening and
preparation/submittal of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) document. This document is specifically required by the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to ensure compliance with various federal environmental laws and
regulations. DMS must demonstrate that its projects comply with federal mandates as a precondition to FHWA
reimbursement of compensatory mitigation costs borne by the North Carolina Department of Transportation to
offset its projects'unavoidable impacts to streams and wetlands.
In order for the project to proceed, RS is obligated to coordinate with the NRCS to complete Form AD-1006 in
compliance with the Farmland Protection Policy Act on behalf of the FHWA. The purpose of this letteristorequest
your assistance in completion of the Form.
Project Location&Description
The Site is located approximately 2 miles west of Sunbury,5 miles northeast of Gatesville,and immediately
east of Merchant Millpond State Park. Intensive agricultural practices exist across the entire Site.Agricultural
fields within and adjacent to the Site are subject to routine fertilizer and herbicide applications including
poultry litter. Site ditches are excavated on an annual basis to remove sediment loss from agricultural
practices as the result of traditional plowing methods and fields left fallow outside of the growing season.All
native vegetation and woody material has been removed from the Site. In general,all wetland functions
associated with hydrology,water quality,and habitat have been removed.
Adjacent land management activities include silviculture and agriculture practices.These areas include
lateral ditching,shallow surface drains,subsurface drains, and planting beds to rapidly remove surface and
subsurface water from these poorly drained soils which contribute nutrient,sediment,and fecal coliform
into Merchant Millpond State Park.
Restoration Means&Methods
Alternatives for wetland re-establishment are designed to restore a fully functioning wetland system,which will
provide surface water storage, nutrient cycling, removal of imported elements and compounds,and will create
a variety and abundance of wildlife habitat.
Portions of the Site underlain by hydric soils have been impacted by ditching,vegetative clearing,agriculture
plowing, and other land disturbances associated with land use management. Wetland re-establishment options

will focus on the restoration of vegetative communities and historic groundwater tables,and the re-
establishment of soil structure and microtopographic variations. In addition,the construction of(or provisions
for)surface water storage depressions(ephemeral pools)will also add an important component to
groundwater restoration activities. Large woody debris/material will also be added to the Site to facilitate
habitat development and provide a carbon source for development of wetland functions.These activities will
result in the re-establishment of approximately 105 acres of jurisdictional non-riparian wetlands.
A key aspect of this wetland restoration project involves maintaining suitable, arable farmland outside the
conservation easement. Landowner requirements include leaving drainage features outside the easement and
upgrading two ditches leading away from the Site to keep the adjacent farmland suitable for agriculture. This
will require connecting a ditch north of the Site through a culverted agriculture road crossing and directing
surface water away from the Site towards the north. A second ditch running parallel to an entrance road will be
cleaned,potentially deepened,and stabilized.These improvements/actions will result in a long-term balance
between achievement of Site goals/objectives and maintaining adjacent land uses.
To maintain adjacent agriculture operations,several surface swales are proposed to direct Site hydrology to the
offsite ditch network. Surface swales are expected to be approximately 0.5 ft in depth and are proposed to be
disconnected draws that direct water away from agriculture fields towards drainage features. If necessary,
drop structures may be used to hinder headcut development through the Site. Drop structures will be
constructed of woody debris, rock or marl,and or natural fiber matting. Drop structures are not proposed to be
constructed within the boundaries of the wetland restoration area and will not be included in mitigation
crediting areas.
Bare-root seedlings will be planted at a density of approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers. Plantingwill
be performed between November 15 and March 15 to allow plants to stabilize during the dormant periodandset
root during the spring season. Potential species planted within the Site may include the following.
Should you have any questions or if any additional information is needed to complete the form, please feel
free to contact me at the office 919.334.9111. If we do not hear from you within 30 days,we will assume you
have no comments on the project.Your valuable time and cooperation are much appreciated.

To maintain adjacent agriculture operations,several surface swales are proposed to direct Site
hydrology to the offsite ditch network.Surface swales are expected to be approximately 0.5 ft in depth
and are proposed to be disconnected draws that direct water away from agriculture fields towards
drainage features. If necessary, drop structures may be used to hinder headcut development through
the Site. Drop structures will be constructed of woody debris, rock or marl,and or natural fiber matting.
Drop structures are not proposed to be constructed within the boundaries of the wetland restoration
area and will not be included in mitigation crediting areas.
Bare-root seedlings will be planted at a density of approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers.
Planting will be performed between November 15 and March 15 to allow plants to stabilize during the
dormant period and set root during the spring season. Potential species planted within the Site may
include the following.
Should you have any questions or if any additional information is needed to complete the Form,please feel

riparian resources in the Conservation Easement Area, in accordance with restoration activities or
a long-term management plan. Unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Conservation
Easement, the rights granted herein do not include or establish for the public any access rights.
B. Restoration Activities. These activities include planting of trees, shrubs and herbaceous
vegetation, installation of monitoring wells, utilization of heavy equipment to grade, fill, and

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.
E. Crossing Area(s). The Grantee is not responsible for maintenance of crossing area(s),
however, the Grantee, its employees and agents, successors or assigns, reserve the right to repair
crossing area(s), at its sole discretion and to recover the cost of such repairs from the Grantor if
such repairs are needed as a result of activities of the Grantor, his successors or assigns.

in the Conservation Easement Area that may have been damaged by such unauthorized activity or
use. Upon any breach of the terms of this Conservation Easement by Grantor, the Grantee shall,
except as provided below, notify the Grantor in writing of such breach and the Grantor shall have
ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice to correct the damage caused by such breach. If the
breach and damage remains uncured after ninety (90) days, the Grantee may enforce this
Conservation Easement by bringing appropriate legal proceedings including an action to recover
damages, as well as injunctive and other relief. The Grantee shall also have the power and

irreparable and remedies at law inadequate. The rights and remedies of the Grantee provided
hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to
Grantee in connection with this Conservation Easement.
B. Inspection. The Grantee, its employees and agents, successors and assigns, have the right,
with reasonable notice, to enter the Conservation Easement Area over the Property at reasonable
times for the purpose of inspection to determine whether the Grantor is complying with the terms,

control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, storm, and earth movement, or from any prudent
action taken in good faith by the Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate
significant injury to life or damage to the Property resulting from such causes.
D. Costs of Enforcement. Beyond regular and typical monitoring expenses, any costs
incurred by Grantee in enforcing the terms of this Conservation Easement against Grantor,
including, without limitation, any costs of restoration necessitated by Grantor's acts or omissions
in violation of the terms of this Conservation Easement, shall be borne by Grantor.
E. No Waiver. Enforcement of this Easement shall be at the discretion of the Grantee and
any forbearance, delay or omission by Grantee to exercise its rights hereunder in the event of any
breach of any term set forth herein shall not be construed to be a waiver by Grantee.
V. MISCELLANEOUS
A. This instrument sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
Conservation Easement and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, understandings or
agreements relating to the Conservation Easement. If any provision is found to be invalid, the

further agrees that any subsequent lease, deed, or other legal instrument by which any interest in
the Property is conveyed is subject to the Conservation Easement herein created.
E. The Grantor and Grantee agree that the terms of this Conservation Easement shall survive
any merger of the fee and easement interests in the Property or any portion thereof.
F. This Conservation Easement and Right of Access may be amended, but only in writing
signed by all parties hereto, or their successors or assigns, if such amendment does not affect the
qualification of this Conservation Easement or the status of the Grantee under any applicable laws,
and is consistent with the purposes of the Conservation Easement. The owner of the Property shall

BK 358 PG 926 DOC#317608
A. Right of Access, Construction, and Inspection. The Grantee, its employees and agents,
successors and assigns, receive a perpetual Right of Access to the Conservation Easement Area
over the Property at reasonable times to undertake any activities on the property to restore,
construct, manage, maintain, enhance, protect, and monitor the stream, wetland and any other
riparian resources in the Conservation Easement Area, in accordance with restoration activities or
a long-term management plan. Unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Conservation
Easement, the rights granted herein do not include or establish for the public any access rights.
B. Restoration Activities. 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.
E. Crossing Area(s). The Grantee is not responsible for maintenance of crossing area(s),
however, the Grantee, its employees and agents, successors or assigns, reserve the right to repair
crossing area(s), at its sole discretion and to recover the cost of such repairs from the Grantor if
such repairs are needed as a result of activities of the Grantor, his successors or assigns.
IV. ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES
A. Enforcement. To accomplish the purposes of this Conservation Easement, Grantee is
allowed to prevent any activity within the Conservation Easement Area that is inconsistent with
the purposes of this Conservation Easement and to require the restoration of such areas or features
in the Conservation Easement Area that may have been damaged by such unauthorized activity or
use. Upon any breach of the terms of this Conservation Easement by Grantor, the Grantee shall,
except as provided below, notify the Grantor in writing of such breach and the Grantor shall have
ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice to correct the damage caused by such breach. If the
breach and damage remains uncured after ninety (90) days, the Grantee may enforce this
Conservation Easement by bringing appropriate legal proceedings including an action to recover
damages, as well as injunctive and other relief. The Grantee shall also have the power and
authority, consistent with its statutory authority: (a) to prevent any impairment of the Conservation
Easement Area by acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Conservation Easement; (b)

NCDMS Full Delivery Conservation Easement Template adopted 5 May 2017
Page 6 of 12

BK 358 PG 927 DOC#317608
to otherwise preserve or protect its interest in the Property; or (c) to seek damages from any
appropriate person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee reserves the immediate
right, without notice, to obtain a temporary restraining order, injunctive or other appropriate relief,
if the breach is or would irreversibly or otherwise materially impair the benefits to be derived from
this Conservation Easement, and the Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that the damage would be
irreparable and remedies at law inadequate. The rights and remedies of the Grantee provided
hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to
Grantee in connection with this Conservation Easement.
B. Inspection. The Grantee, its employees and agents, successors and assigns, have the right,
with reasonable notice, to enter the Conservation Easement Area over the Property at reasonable
times for the purpose of inspection to determine whether the Grantor is complying with the terms,
conditions and restrictions of this Conservation Easement.
C. Acts Beyond Grantor's Control. Nothing contained in this Conservation Easement shall
be construed to entitle Grantee to bring any action against Grantor for any injury or change in the
Conservation Easement Area caused by third parties, resulting from causes beyond the Grantor's
control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, storm, and earth movement, or from any prudent
action taken in good faith by the Grantor under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate
significant injury to life or damage to the Property resulting from such causes.
D. Costs of Enforcement. Beyond regular and typical monitoring expenses, any costs
incurred by Grantee in enforcing the terms of this Conservation Easement against Grantor,
including, without limitation, any costs of restoration necessitated by Grantor's acts or omissions
in violation of the terms of this Conservation Easement, shall be borne by Grantor.
E. No Waiver. Enforcement of this Easement shall be at the discretion of the Grantee and
any forbearance, delay or omission by Grantee to exercise its rights hereunder in the event of any
breach of any term set forth herein shall not be construed to be a waiver by Grantee.
V. MISCELLANEOUS
A. This instrument sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
Conservation Easement and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, understandings or
agreements relating to the Conservation Easement. If any provision is found to be invalid, the
remainder of the provisions of the Conservation Easement, and the application of such provision
to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is found to be invalid, shall not be
affected thereby.
B. Grantor is responsible for any real estate taxes, assessments, fees, or charges levied upon
the Property. Grantee shall not be responsible for any costs or liability of any kind related to the
ownership, operation, insurance, upkeep, or maintenance of the Property, except as expressly
provided herein. Upkeep of any constructed bridges, fences, or other amenities on the Property are
the sole responsibility of the Grantor. Nothing herein shall relieve the Grantor of the obligation to

the Reserved Rights.

the Property is conveyed is subject to the Conservation Easement herein created.
E. The Grantor and Grantee agree that the terms of this Conservation Easement shall survive
any merger of the fee and easement interests in the Property or any portion thereof.
F. This Conservation Easement and Right of Access may be amended, but only in writing
signed by all parties hereto, or their successors or assigns, if such amendment does not affect the
qualification of this Conservation Easement or the status of the Grantee under any applicable laws,
and is consistent with the purposes of the Conservation Easement. The owner of the Property shall

qualified holder under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 121-34 et seq. and § 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code,

Maintenance Plan
The Site shall be monitored on a regular basis and a physical inspection of the site shall be conducted a
minimum of once per year throughout the post-construction monitoring period until performance
standards are met. These Site inspections may identify Site components and features that require routine
maintenance. Routine maintenance should be expected most often in the first two years following site
construction and may include thefollowing:
Component/Feature Maintenance through project close-out
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the
targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair
activities may include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and
Vegetation fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be controlled by mechanical
and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation control requiring herbicide
application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of
Agriculture(NCDA) rules and regulations.
Site boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction
between the mitigation site and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be
Site Boundary identified by fence, marker, bollard, post, tree- blazing, or other means as
allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary
markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced
on an as needed basis.
Routine maintenance and repair activities may include removal of debris and
supplemental installation of live stakes and other target vegetation along the
Outfall Structures ditch below the outfall structures. Undermining of the structure may require
repair or replacement.

Task 1 a.) Inter-Agency Post Contract Site Visit:Site Visit Notes
As specified within RFP #16-007907, Restoration Systems (RS) held an on-site meeting with regulatory
agencies and DMS staff to discuss the Pierce Terrace Wetland Mitigation Site (PT) on February 10, 2020.
Below is a list of attendees and general site visit notes.
Attendees:
USACE: NC DMS: Restoration Systems:
- Kyle Barns - Lindsay Crocker - Alex Baldwin
- Todd Tugwell - Jerimiah Dow - Raymond Holz
- Kim Browning - Worth Creech
NC WRC: NC DWR:
- Travis Wilson - Mac Haupt
- Maria Dunn - Erin Davis
Site Visit Notes:
- The PT mitigation approach includes the filling of ditches throughout existing agricultural fields,
including ditches around the Hofler Mitigation Site. In this landscape setting, ditches alter
hydrology by draining surface water from precipitation events,influencing the hydroperiod of the
seasonally high water table to a degree where historic wetland hydrology does not exist. RS is
proposing the restoration of wetland hydrology by retaining precipitation inputs on-site, which
will be achieved by filling in the ditches,eliminating the surface water outlet,and providing diffuse
flow across the soil surface.
- Early coordination between DMS,Albemarle Restoration,and the IRT will be imperative to ensure
the design and implementation of the PT project will not exasperate IRT concerns regarding the
Hofler Site.Site visit participants discussed the potential of monitoring the Hofler Site during the
PT project, but specifics were not detailed. The success of the PT Site is not dependent upon
modifications to the Hofler Site. However, RS believes the implementation of the PT Site could
allow for an improvement to the Hofer Site.
- Regarding the restoration approach of the PT Site,the group had significant discussions regarding
the hydrological source of the proposed non-riverine hardwood flat and swamp wetlands. RS
elaborated that within this area of the State, hydrology for non-riparian wetlands like PT is driven
primarily by precipitation as well as secondary inputs from overland flow. The primary purpose
and effect of the existing ditch networks are to remove precipitation driven surface water from
the landscape, rather than lower the water table. This is evident at the PT site as the collector
ditches are gently graded from 0.5-2 ft as they approach the main collector ditches which are
deeper and move water off the land.
A review of the NOAA AHPS Precipitation Analysis website on Feb 11, 2020 shows -8-inches of
observed precipitation and precipitation is -3-inches above average at the PT site during the last

30-days. Considering the recent weather conditions and the soil conditions at the time of the site
visit, it was evident the ditches are effectively removing surface water from the PT site.
- The western edge of the proposed wetland restoration line includes portions of soils mapped in
the NRCS Soil Survey as Hydric B. A discussion regarding whether or not these areas are drained
hydric soils. RS maintained that these edges exhibited soil redox concentrations at depths that
would be considered the outer margins of the historic wetland. There were concerns expressed
by the IRT that the redox concentrations were faint and possibly at a depth lower than what would
constitute a drained hydric soil. Also, there were comments that the soil matrix chroma was
brighter than what is typically classified as a drained hydric soil.RS offered that initial land clearing
coupled with prolonged landuse in agriculture and silviculture (1955 historic imagery attached,
min. 65 years in current state, 1906 USGS Map shows unpaved roads adjacent and into the
project, indicating some level of altered landuse— both attached) impacted the outer boundary
of the historic wetland resulting in distorted relic hydric soil indicators.
The IRT stated the Mitigation Plan should include a map showing the locations of soil borings along
with representative soil profile descriptions of the soil borings. Also, a transect of soil borings
along the western edge extending from the Hydric A soil map units into the Hydric B soil map units
of the proposed wetland restoration will further assist in identifying the drained hydric soil
boundary. In addition, (if possible due to current agricultural activities) some monitoring wells
should be installed in this area pre-restoration and left in place post-restoration to document
hydrology.The IRT discussed the potential of a soil specific success criteria for the restoration of
Hydric B soils, but specifics were not detailed.
Also, a topographic survey will be performed to identify elevations of critical features including
adjacent uplands, drained hydric soils, the Hofler Mitigation site (berm and wetland restoration
components), Silver Springs Road and associated roadside ditches.This information will be used
along with another investigation to ensure the project does not flood Silver Springs Road and
provide supplemental data regarding the extent of historic wetland hydrology.
- RS plans to use areas outside of the delineated drained hydric soil boundary as fill material for the
existing ditches. In these areas, RS will create habitat depressions ranging in depth from
approximately 6 — 18". These areas will be detailed in the Mitigation Plan and proposed for
Wetland Creation at a 3:1 ratio.
- The IRT asked, and RS confirmed that early coordination with the NC DOT would occur regarding
roadside ditches within the DOT's Right of Way, including the removal of clogged and dilapidated
culverts crossing those ditches. Roadside ditches will not be filled as a part of the project and road
drainage is expected to improve with the removal of the existing culverts. IRT commented that
future DOT road-side ditch maintenance should be considered and credit backed off any
hydrologic zone of influence.
- The IRT stressed that any areas of soil cut (habitat areas or elsewhere) should have the topsoil
removed, stockpiled, and reused to minimize long-term effects to plant vigor. Likewise, tree
selection should be careful to select hydrophytic species and hardwood wetland species.
- Site features, and permitting requirements, will be based on the signed preliminary jurisdictional
determination.

SEED BED PREPARATION:
LIMING- Apply lime according to soil test recommendations. If the pH (acidity) of the soil is not known, an application of ground agricultural limestone at the rate of 1 to 1 4 tons/acre on
coarse -textured soils and 2-3 tons/acre on fine -textured soils is usually sufficient. Apply limestone uniformly and incorporate into the top 4-6 inches of soil. Soils with a pH of 6 or
higher need not be limed.
FERTILIZER- Base application rates on soil tests. When these are not possible, apply a 10-10-10 grade fertilizer at 700-1,000 lb/acre. Both fertilizer and lime should be incorporated into
the top 4-6 inches of soil. If a hydraulic seeder is used, do not mix seed and fertilizer more than 30 minutes before application.
SURFACE ROUGHENING- If recent tillage operations have resulted in a loose surface additional roughening may not be required, except to breakup large clods. If rainfall causes the
surface to become sealed or crusted, loosen it just prior to seeding by raking, harrowing, or other suitable methods for fine grading. The finished grade shall be a smooth even soil
surface with a loosen uniformly fine texture. All ridges and depressions shall be removed and filled to provide the approved surface drainage. Planting is to be done immediately after
finished grades are obtained and seedbed preparation is completed.

Construction:
1. Construct the sediment barrier of standard strength or extra strength synthetic filter fabrics.
2. Ensure that the height of the sediment fence does not exceed 24 inches above the ground. (Higher fences may
impound volumes of water sufficient to cause failure of the structure)
3. Construct the filter fabric from a continuous roll cut to the length of the barrier to avoid joints. When joints are
necessary, securely fasten the filter cloth only at a support post with 4 feet minimum overlap to the next post.
4. Support standard strength filter fabric by wire mesh fastened securely to the upslope side of the posts. Extend the
wire mesh support to the bottom of the trench. Fasten the wire reinforcement, then fabric on the upslope side of the
fence post. Wire or plastic zip ties should have a minimum 50 pound tensile strength.
5. When a wire mesh support fence is used, space posts a maximum of 8 feet apart. Supports should be driven securely
into the ground a minimum of 24 inches.
6. Extra strength filter fabric with 6 foot post spacing does not require a wire mesh support fence. Securely fasten the
filter fabric directly to posts. Wire or plastic zip ties should have a minimum of 50 pound tensile strength.
7. Excavate the trench approximately 4 inches wide and 8 inches deep along the proposed line of the posts and upslope
from the barrier.
8. Place 12 inches of fabric along the bottom and side of the trench.
9. Backfill the trench with soil placed over the filter fabric and compact. Thorough compaction of the backfill is critical to
silt fence performance.
10. Do not attach filter fabric to existing trees.

Maintenance:
1. Inspect sediment fences at least once a week and after each 1
inch or greater rainfall. Make any required repairs immediately.
2. Should the fabric of a sediment fence collapse, tear,
decompose, or become ineffective, replace it promptly.
3. Remove sediment deposits as necessary to provide adequate
storage volume for the next rain and reduce pressure on the
fence. Take care to avoid undermining the fence during
cleanouts.
4. Remove all fencing materials and unstable sediment deposits
and bring the area to grade and stabilize it after the contributing
drainage area has been properly stabilized.

Construction:
1. Clear the entrance and exit area of all vegetation, roots, and other objectionable
material and properly grade it.
2. Place the gravel to the specific grade and dimensions shown on the plans, and
smooth it.
3. Provide drainage to carry water to a sediment trap or other suitable outlet.
4. Use geotextile fabrics in order to improve stability of the foundation in locations
subject to seepage or high water table.
Page:
Maintenance:
1. Per NCG-01 inspect at least once a week and after each 1 inch or greater rainfall;
make any required repairs immediately.
2. Maintain the gravel pad in a condition to prevent mud or sediment from leaving the
construction site. This may require periodic topdressing with 2 inch stone.
3. Immediately remove all objectionable materials spilled, washed or tracked onto public
roadways.
