Folks,
We spoke with Chris yesterday about the Wildlands Great Meadows bank. In a nutshell, two of the landowners do
not want to do the project so they cannot obtain a clear deed to the parcel, so the bottom portions of Fisher Branch
and Shard Branch will not be included in the easement. They will allow them to tie into the channels that connect
with Swift Creek, but they won't allow any restoration or enhancement work, or an easement. They have agreed to
fence the cattle out of those areas, but that's it. It looks like it's about 10% of the project that will be omitted.
Wildlands wants to know if this will affect the IRT s acceptance of this bank, or if they're good to move on with
developing the draft mitigation plan. Todd already issued the Initial Evaluation letter March 7, 2022, based on the
entire project being included in the easement.
Please let me and Sam know if you are OK with Wildlands moving forward with draft mit plan development
without the lower sections of Fisher and Shard Branches (see attached map).
Thanks
Kim

Hi Kim-> We wanted to communicate that a part of the Great Meadow project will have to be dropped because we
cannot get clear title on the parcel owned by the Boy Scouts.
The parcel was deeded to the Boy Scouts in the 1930s and the deed included a number of restrictions. The
restrictions will need to be released by the grantors' heirs in order to gain clear title.
I talked to all six of the heirs and four are fine with releasing the restrictions but two are not.
I thought maybe we could get there but their lack of willingness to communicate about the matter makes it
impossible to proceed.
So we'd like to schedule a call with you to see what effect this change might have on the project. Would you be
available sometime next week for a brief call? Thanks very much, Chris

Review
Chris,
I've attached the comments we received from the IRT based on the Draft Prospectus for the Wildlands Tar Pam 01
UMB - Great Meadows Site (AID SAW-2021-01714). I've also attached the minutes from our October 20, 2021
site review. With regard to the minutes, please note the following comments:
1. Fisher Branch: If the wetland creation area is pursued it will be important to document soil type and have proper
well placement. Could collect soil profiles during monitoring to show soils are trending toward having wetland
hydrology. In general, soil borings should be obtained at all wetland gauges.
2. Shard Brach: RI If a braided channel is constructed, there is a possibility it could trend towards becoming more
of a wetland. Recommend discussing in the adaptive management section.
3. Gideon Swamp: Noted some fescue- recommend treating if this is anticipated to be problematic.
4. Please note that final credit ratios will be agreed to during the review and approval of the Mitigation Plan for the
site. All credit ratios noted in the site meeting minutes are preliminary based on incomplete information and are
subject to revision.
Please consider all of these comments as you move forward with development of the Final Prospectus for the site.
Once we receive a the Final Prospectus, we will review for completeness and send out a Public Notice.
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

Review
IRT Members,
Wildlands Engineering has provided us with a Draft Prospectus of a new Umbrella Mitigation Bank in the Tar
Pamlico 01 HUCT. The Great Meadows Stream and Wetland Site is included in the submittal as the first site for the
bank. The Draft Prospectus has been uploaded to RIBITS, and we are initiating the 30-day review of the Draft
Prospectus with this email. Information about the proposed bank is below:
Umbrella Bank Name: Wildlands Tar Pamlico UMB
Sponsor: Wildlands Engineering, Inc. (Contact: Chris Roessler)
Location: 36.1288,-77.9508 Nash county, 03020101 HUC
USACE Action ID: SAW-2021-01714
USACE Bank PM: Todd Tugwell
Deadline for comments on the Draft Prospectus: Oct. 27, 2021
I would also like to go ahead and schedule a time for a review of the site - Oct. 20th is the next available open IRT
meeting day, so please reserve the morning of the 20th for the meeting and I will provide more information as we
get closer. In the meantime, please let me know if you need a hard copy of the Draft Prospectus and I will arrange
to have a copy delivered. As note that this is still the Draft stage, so the project has not been put on Public Notice as
of yet. Also, because the site meeting is more than 30 days out, I have set the deadline for comments as one week
after the site meeting (Oct. 27th) .
Thanks,
