Riparian Buffer Project 2 July 2022

I INTRODUCTION
Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX), a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource Environmental
Solutions (RES), is pleased to provide this Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP) for the Bobs Branch
Riparian Buffer Mitigation Project (Project) under the proposed RES Bobs Branch Mitigation Banking
Instrument in the Randleman Lake Watershed for Riparian Buffer Mitigation Credits that is being made
between the Bank Sponsor, EBX, an the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR). The Project (DWR:
unassigned) is designed to provide riparian buffer mitigation credits for unavoidable impacts due to
development within the Randleman Lake Watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin, United States
Geological Survey (USGS) 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC — 03030003) (Figure 1).The Project is
proposing to provide riparian buffer mitigation through the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR)
Randleman Lake Riparian Buffer Mitigation program. This Plan is in accordance with the Consolidated
Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and the Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed Buffer Rule
15A NCAC 02B .0250 and the proposed RES Bobs Branch Mitigation Banking Instrument .
1.1 Parcel Location
The Bobs Branch Project is within Cape Fear River Basin within the 8-digit USGS HUC 03030003, 14-digit
HUC 03030003010060, and DWR Sub -basin Number 03-06-08.
The Project is located in Randolph County approximately two miles northwest of New Market, North
Carolina (Figure 1). To access the Project from the town of New Market, NC, travel north approximately
one mile on State Road 1009. Turn left on Marlboro Church Road and continue for 0.5 mile. Then turn
right onto Old Edgar Road and continue for 0.6 mile to the access road of the project on the right (Figure
2). The latitude and longitude of the access road to the Project is 35.84275°N and-79.8953°W.
1.2 Project Overview
The Project consists of one continuous conservation easement that will total approximately 12.05 acres
and includes Bobs Branch, a direct tributary to Randleman Lake, and two unnamed tributaries (BS1 and
BS2) that drain into Bobs Branch (Figure 3). The Project has a total drainage area of 218 acres (Figure 3)
and is located within a semi urban area, and land use within the project area is currently comprised of
primarily open pasture with a few pockets of forested area, mostly acting as a living fence line. Historic
land disturbance principally includes conventional agricultural practices such as channel manipulation and
livestock access. Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include livestock access and lack of
forested riparian buffer areas (Figure 4).
The goal of the Project is to restore ecological function to the existing streams and their associated riparian
areas by establishing appropriate plant communities while minimizing temporal and land disturbing
impacts and permanently protecting the newly restored areas in perpetuity through a conservation
easement. Buffer improvements and the removal of livestock will help filter runoff from agricultural fields,
thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to Project channels and the overall watershed. Immediate
water quality benefits and pollutant removal within the vicinity of the Project will include the exclusion of
livestock access to streams and reduction in nutrient loads from agricultural land -uses. This Project is
consistent with the management strategy for maintaining and protecting riparian areas in the Randleman
Lake watershed.
Bobs Branch Buffer Mitigation Plan
Riparian Buffer Project 3 July 2022

The Project easement can be accessed from Old Edgar Rd off State Road 1009 (Figure 2). The Project area
is comprised of riparian areas adjacent to one perennial stream (Bob Branch), two intermittent streams
(BS1 and BS2), and an ephemeral channel (upper portion of BS2). Bobs Branch flows west to east. BS1 flows
northeast to Bob Branch and BS2 flows north to drain into Bob Branch. All streams have been straightened
and incised. Three stream reaches (BS1, BS2 and Bobs Branch) were determined to be subject to the
Randleman Lake Watershed buffer protection rules ("Subject"), whereas the upstream section of BS2 was
determined to be ephemeral and therefore not subject to the Randleman Lake Watershed buffer
protection rules ("Non -subject"). Stream determinations were verified by the DWR during a site visit on
December 3", 2020. Correspondence regarding this determination is in Appendix A. The Project will
provide critical ecological uplift to aquatic and riparian corridors that would otherwise be even further
degraded by agricultural uses and continued livestock access.
Buffer mitigation efforts along the Project streams will be accomplished through the planting,
establishment, and protection of a hardwood forest community. Buffer restoration activities will include
fencing and protection through a conservation easement. The result will be a riparian buffer that functions
to mitigate nutrient and sediment inputs from the surrounding uplands. The buffer mitigation plan
proposed is being submitted for review under the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B
.0295. In addition to traditional riparian restoration, the Project will also incorporate the alternative buffer
mitigation option: Mitigation on ephemeral channels, as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (a) (7). DWR staff
performed an onsite viability assessment for buffer mitigation on December 3, 2020. This correspondence
is provided in Appendix A. Of the total 12.05 acres in conservation easement, the Bobs Branch Riparian
Buffer Project presents the opportunity to provide 469,046 ftz (10.76 acres) of riparian buffer mitigation
credits. These will be derived from restoration of the riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas
surrounding the streams and ephemeral channels of the Project and protecting buffers in perpetuity with
a conservation easement.
For stream channels and ephemeral channels, buffers and other riparian areas will have a minimum width
of 30 feet and a maximum of 200 feet from the edge of the channels. There are some small sections where
the riparian buffer included in the Project is less than 30 feet due to landowner parcels (Figure 5). These
widths are measured from the start of top of bank and extend perpendicularly landward from the top of
bank. The new plant community will be established in conjunction with the treatment of any existing exotic
or undesirable plant species. Figure 5 shows the Conceptual Design for Riparian Buffer Map and Section
4 provides details of the mitigation determination on the Bobs Branch Riparian Buffer Mitigation Project.
1.2.1 Parcel Ownership
The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 1 EBX, LLC has obtained a legal option to develop the mitigation
project and establish a permanent conservation easement on the necessary area on the subject parcels.
Once recorded, the secured easements will allow EBX to proceed with the Project development and protect
the mitigation assets in perpetuity. The Mitigation Banking Conservation Easement Template for Buffer &
Nutrient Offset Sites (provided by DWR with slight modifications) will be utilized to draft the site protection
instrument. Once recorded, the secured easements will allow EBX to proceed with the Project development
and protect the mitigation assets in perpetuity. A finalized copy of the land protection instrument will be
included in Appendix B.

2 EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1.1 Surface Water Classification
The Project area includes unnamed tributaries to Bob Branch, which eventually drains to the Deep River
(now the Randleman Lake) by way of Bob Branch. The current State classifications for Bob Branch is Water
Supply IV (WS-IV) and Class C. Classification WS-IV refers to waters that are used for consumption, culinary
or food processing purposes. These waters are generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds or
Protected Areas. Class C waters have protections supporting "secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish
consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and
agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact
with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner" (NCDEQ,
2020).
2.1.2 Physiography and Soils
The site is located in the Southern Outer Piedmont level IV ecoregion within the Piedmont level III
ecoregion. With lower elevations and less relief compared to other areas of the Piedmont, the landforms
of this ecoregion consist of irregular, rolling plains. The geologic composition of the region is red, clayey
subsoils underlain by deep saprolite and gneiss, schist, and granite bedrock. Interspersed throughout the
region are also areas of diabase, diorite, or gabbro bedrock that form alkaline soils. Natural vegetation
communities consist of mixed oak forests, while historic land use trends have promoted the establishment
of loblolly and shortleaf pine forests (USEPA).
The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) depicts three soil mapping units across the Project
(Figure 6). The map units and soil characteristics are summarized in Table 2. The map units are Chewacla
and Wehadkee soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, frequently flooded, Mecklenburg loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes,
Mecklenburg clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes, moderately eroded and Mecklenburg clay loam, 8 to 15
percent slopes, moderately eroded. The mapped soil data presented here are for reference only. Additional
work will be conducted as needed to support the project.

2.1.3 Wetlands
The USFWS National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) does not depict wetlands within the Project area.
(Figure 4).
2.1.4 Landscape Communities
A. Existing Vegetation Communities
Currently, the land use in the vicinity of the Project is primarily actively grazed pasture and forested pasture.
The pasture is dominated by pasture grasses with the presence of other herbaceous species like fescue
grass (Festuca sp.), dogfennel (Eupatorium capifollium), and common rush (Juncus effuses). Very few trees
are on -site except for scattered Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiona), sweet gum (Liquidambor
styraciflua), and American elm (Ulmus americana). Some herbaceous plants have established themselves
in many parts of the stream channels and banks on -site, including an identified species of Persicaria, and
very few occurrences of a Rumex species. Invasive species are also present throughout, including Chinese
privet (Ligustrum sinense) and Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum). The site viability letter from
DWR in Appendix A provides details on land -uses within the Project riparian areas. Current conditions
demonstrate significant habitat degradation because of impacts from agriculture, livestock in particular,
and historic land uses (Figure 7). The area within the Project has been used as cattle pasture since at least
1980. There are forested areas located to the west and northeast of the Project area. At some point,
between the years of 1993 and 2006, a CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation) was constructed
adjacent to the Project area.
B. Riparian Vegetation
In general, the stream features within the Project abut grazed pasture and forested pasture that have
little to no existing riparian buffer and do not function to their full potential. Current conditions
demonstrate significant habitat and water quality degradation with a loss of stabilizing vegetation
because of impacts from active pastureland.
BS1 is a short reach that runs through a pasture and eventually flows into 13131. Generally, the reach lacks
a riparian buffer and the stream banks of BS1 contain short, herbaceous vegetation and no woody
vegetation.
Bobs Branch Buffer Mitigation Plan
Riparian Buffer Project 6 July 2022

BS2 runs northward through pasture that lacks a riparian buffer, barring a few mature trees along the
banks throughout the reach and eventually flows into BB1. Some understory native and invasive species
are also present in this area around the base of the trees. Generally, the stream banks contain short,
herbaceous vegetation with some areas containing woody vegetation. Most tree species present on this
reach are sweet gum and Eastern red cedar.
BB1 is a named stream that runs eastward through pasture along the landowner parcel line. The reach
lacks riparian buffer, with a few mature trees along the bank throughout. Some understory and invasive
species are present including Chinese privet along the reach around the base of the trees.

3 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
3.1 Threatened and Endangered Species
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS, 2018) database (accessed April 16, 2020) for Randolph County,
North Carolina lists one endangered species, Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), as being
within proximity of the proposed project. In addition, The Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is
protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA) and prohibits take of bald and golden
eagles (Table 3).
In addition to the USFWS database, the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP, 2020) GIS
database was consulted to determine whether previously cataloged occurrences of protected species were
mapped within one mile of the project. Results from NHP indicate that there is one known occurrence of
state threatened or endangered species within a one-mile radius of the project area (NHP, 2020). This
occurrence is for the Schweinitz's sunflower,a species of the Aster family. No protected species or potential
habitat for protected species was observed during preliminary site evaluations. A survey conducted for
the Schweinitz's sunflower on October 12, 2021 confirmed there are no individuals on site. Based on initial
site investigations, no impacts to state protected species are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.

Riparian Buffer Project 8 July 2022

A letter from the USFWS dated April 14, 2021 indicated that minimal adverse impacts to fish and wildlife
resources are expected as part of the project. Documentation is included in Appendix C.

3.2 Environmental and Cultural Constraints
Environmental and cultural resources include historic and archeological resources located in or near the
project parcel. RES has evaluated the Parcel's existing and future conditions of cultural resources to
determine potential project impacts. A review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO) website was reviewed to determine if any listed or potentially eligible historic or archeological
resources in the proposed Bobs Branch Site existed. This search did not reveal any occurrence within the
project area. In addition, the search did not reveal any registered occurrence of any possible historic or
archeological resources within a mile of the proposed project area. A letter from SHPO dated April 6, 2021
stated that no known historic resources would be affected by the project. Documentation is included in
Appendix C.
3.3 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Floodplain/Hydrologic Trespass
The project is not within a FEMA regulatory floodway (Figure 4) and therefore no FEMA permitting will be
required for this project as currently designed. Hydrologic trespass is not anticipated for the project and
will not be permitted to adjacent properties upstream or downstream of the Project.
3.4 Clean Water Act - Section 401/404
Due to the nature of this Project, there will be no 401/404 permit required.
3.5 Additional Environmental Considerations
A limited Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed for the Parcel by acquiring an
Environmental Date Resources (EDR) report in July 2022. The report can be found in Appendix D. Neither
the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal
environmental databases searched by EDR. There are no known or potentially hazardous waste sites
identified within or immediately adjacent to the project area.
4 RIPARIAN RESTORATION IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Riparian restoration adjacent to streams and ephemeral channels are shown in Figure 5 and mitigation
types were determined by the DWR in the Site Viability Letter dated February 16, 2021 (Appendix A).
4.1 Parcel Preparation
Preparation at the Project will involve spraying undesired fescue grass and exotic invasive species;
contoured ripping, seeding, and planting. Specifically, a vigorous invasives species treatment for privet will
occur along Bobs Branch. Livestock will be excluded from the entire easement area by installing a
Bobs Branch Buffer Mitigation Plan
Riparian Buffer Project 9 July 2022

permanent fence. Stabilization and implementation of dispersal techniques will be utilized where surface
flows have become concentrated to minimize the chances of non -diffuse flow. A seed mix will be chosen
to maximize successful herbaceous growth in all riparian areas while also incorporating valuable pollinator
species (Table 5). All riparian planting areas will be seeded using a no -till drill prior to tree planting or
broadcast seeded depending on the season of planting. Temporary and permanent riparian seeding, and
bare root plantings will be planted according to the planting plan (Section 4.5).
The limits of the riparian restoration areas will be surveyed post -planting and seeding, and information
will be provided in the As -Built report.
4.2 Methods
Vegetation within riparian areas can vary depending on disturbance regime and adjacent community
types, so the protected buffer easement will be planted with appropriate native species observed in the
surrounding forest and species known to occur in similar environments (Section 4.5).
4.3 Riparian Restoration Activities
For stream and ephemeral channels, the Project will provide buffer mitigation through riparian restoration
activities in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n) and
incorporate the alternative buffer mitigation option: Mitigation on ephemeral channels, as outlined in 15A
NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (7). Riparian restoration activities will include the planting of bare root plantings as
described in Section 4.5. All restoration activities will begin from the tops of the stream or ephemeral
channel banks and extend a minimum of 30 feet from the stream outward to a maximum of 200 feet
perpendicular and landward to the stream channel (Figure 8). The proposed conservation easement
includes riparian areas adjacent to streams and the ephemeral channel. Restoration will occur where non -
forested pasture is currently present (Figure 5). Furthermore, restoration will entail the permanent
protection of the riparian area from cutting, clearing, filling, grading, and similar activities that would affect
the functioning of the buffer through a conservation easement that will have clearly visible easement
markers and signs (see Section 4.5 for further description of the easement boundaries).
The upper portion of one of the stream features, BS2, is an ephemeral channel. As per the rule, ephemeral
channels are natural channels with discernable banks observable within crenulations on a USGS 7.5-minute
topographic map (Figure 3). Moreover, the entire area proposed for buffer mitigation credit along the
upper portion of BS2 is located within the contributing drainage area to the ephemeral channel and is
directly connected to an intermittent reach downstream (Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5). The channel
will be contiguously contained within the conservation easement areas of the Project.
4.4 Other Activities
Other activities involved with the Project include minor bank stabilization efforts along reach BS2, including
grading and live staking where stream bank stability is compromised, such as erosional rills and side cuts.
4.5 Planting Plan
All riparian restoration areas will be planted from top of bank back at least 30-feet from the tops of stream
banks with bare root tree seedlings on nine by six-foot spacing to achieve an initial density of 800 trees
per acre. Bare root plantings and live stakes shall be planted according to the planting plan. Live stakes
Bobs Branch Buffer Mitigation Plan
Riparian Buffer Project 10 July 2022

will be planted in areas on BS2 where grading will occur. Planting of the Project where riparian buffer
restoration is being performed will meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B
.0295. The vegetation data will be collected no earlier than late August of each year. This includes treating
invasive species and planting at least four species of native hardwood bare root trees. A Piedmont Alluvial
Forest will be the target community type and will be used for all areas within the project. The community
is defined by Schafale (2012). The initial planting of bare root trees will occur after construction is complete
before Spring 2023. Wherever possible, mature vegetation will be preserved and incorporated into the
buffer. Tree species specified for planting on the Bobs Branch Project are shown in Table 4.
Please note that the real compositions of planted trees may differ from this proposed list due to availability;
however, the procured trees will ideally be comprised of species from the list. With that said, the minimum
number of unique species to be planted in each planting zone across the Project will be seven. Wherever
possible, mature vegetation will be preserved and incorporated into the buffer. Some areas adjacent to
the forested areas may require maintenance due to the rapid regeneration of some species, such as red
maple (Ater rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambor styrocif(uo). The live stake plantings mentioned above
will consist of black willow (Solix nigra) and silky dogwood (Corpus amomum).

4.6 Easement Boundaries and Fencing
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Project and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by cattle fence, marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or
other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundaries will be marked with
signs identifying the property as a mitigation site and will include the name of the long-term steward and
a contact number. These boundary markers will be installed prior to the DWR as -built site visit in order to
satisfy the Task 2 milestone. Boundary markers disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or
replaced on an as needed basis. The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring
activities and the conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual
monitoring reports to DWR.
4.7 Post -Establishment Notification
Within 30 calendar days after completing the establishment of the buffer mitigation areas, the Sponsor
will submit written notification to DWR documenting that all buffer mitigation activities have been
completed. This will be in accordance with the RES Bobs Branch Mitigation Banking Instrument.
5 MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
5.1 Monitoring Protocol and Success Criteria
Riparian vegetation monitoring where buffer mitigation credits are being generated will be based on the
"CVS-EEP Protocol for Recording Vegetation: Level 2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.2". Annual vegetation
monitoring will occur each year for a minimum of five (5) years and will be conducted during the fall season
with the first year occurring at least 6 months from initial planting. Monitoring plots will be installed a
minimum of 100 mz in size and will cover at least two percent of the planted mitigation area. The planted
area is 11.29 acres, and there will be 9 fixed vegetation plots measuring riparian buffer mitigation success.
These plots will be randomly placed throughout the planted riparian area and will be representative of the
riparian community (Figure 9). The following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species,
common name, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems in plots will be flagged
with flagging tape.
Bobs Branch Buffer Mitigation Plan
Riparian Buffer Project 12 July 2022

The measures of vegetative success for the Project will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree
species, where no one species is greater than 50 percent of stems, at a density of at least 260 stems per
acre at the end of Year 5. Desirable native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance
standards upon approval by DWR. Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none
become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the site.
Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports. Visual
inspections and photos will be taken to ensure that restoration areas are being maintained and compliant.
A visual assessment of the cattle exclusion areas within the conservation easement will also
be performed each year to confirm:
• Fencing is in good condition throughout the site;
• no cattle access within the conservation easement area;
• no encroachment has occurred;
• diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement area; and
• there has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would
negatively affect the functioning of the buffer.
A summary of Project monitoring and maintenance activities can be found in Table 6.
Table 6.
and Maintenance Activities
Vegetation Annual
Vegetation shall be maintained to ensure the health and vigor of the
vegetation
targeted plant community. Routine vegetation maintenance and repair
monitoring
activities may include supplemental planting, pruning, mulching, and
fertilizing. Exotic invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical
and/or chemical methods. Any vegetation requiring herbicide
application will be performed in accordance with NC Department of
Agriculture (NCDA) rules and regulations. Vegetation maintenance
activities will be documented and reported in annual monitoring
reports. Vegetation maintenance will continue through the monitoring
period.
Invasive and Visual
Invasive and noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none
Nuisance Assessment
become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the
Vegetation
Project. Locations of invasive and nuisance vegetation will be mapped.
Project Boundary Visual
Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear
Assessment
distinction between the mitigation Project and adjacent properties.
Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying the property as a
mitigation Project and will include the name of the long-term steward
and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker,
bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by Project
conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers disturbed,
damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as -
Bobs Branch Buffer Mitigation Plan
Riparian Buffer Project 13 July 2022

needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/ signage maintenance
will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity.
5.2 Adaptive Management Plan and Parcel Maintenance
Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions taken if in the event that the site,
or a specific component of the site, fails to achieve the defined success criteria. Remedial actions will be
designed to achieve the success criteria specified in this Plan, and will include identification of the causes
of failure, remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring criteria that will take into account
physical and climatic conditions.
Initial plant maintenance may include a one-time mowing, prior to initial planting to remove undesirable
species. If mowing is deemed necessary by EBX during the monitoring period, EBX must receive approval
by the DWR prior to any mowing activities to ensure that no buffer violations have been performed. Failure
to receive approval to mow within the Randleman Lake buffer, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0233, by the
DWR could result in Randleman Lake buffer violations and violations of the conservation easement. If
necessary, RES will develop a species -specific control plan.
6 LONGTERM MANAGEMENT PLAN
EBX, acting as the Bank Sponsor, will record a Conservation Easement with the Randolph County Register
of Deeds Office for this site. The Conservation Easement will be assigned to Unique Places To Save (UP2S).
All monitoring activities, including periodic inspections of the site to ensure that restrictions required in
the Conservation Easement are upheld, are the responsibility of EBX until the Project is transferred to UP2S.
Endowment funds required to uphold the Bobs Branch Bank Parcel conservation easement in perpetuity
shall be negotiated prior to site transfer to UP2S.
The Bank Sponsor will ensure that the Conservation Easement has allowed for the implementation of an
initial monitoring phase, which will be developed during the design phase and conducted by the Bank
Sponsor. The Conservation Easement will allow for yearly monitoring and, if necessary, maintenance of the
Parcel during the initial monitoring phase. These activities will be conducted in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the RES Bobs Branch Riparian Buffer MBI made and entered into by EBX and DWR.
7 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE
The Sponsor will provide financial assurances in the form of Performance Bonds sufficient to assure one
hundred percent (100%) completion of all mitigation work, required reporting and monitoring, and any
remedial work required. Financial assurances will be payable at the direction of the DWR to its designee
or to a standby trust. Financial assurances structured to provide funds to the DWR in the event of default
by the Bank Sponsor are not acceptable. The initial performance bond will be in the amount of at least
$150,000 and shall be able to cover 100% of the costs associated with construction of the riparian
restoration areas. The monitoring bond shall be in the amount of at least $100,000 and shall be able to
Bobs Branch Buffer Mitigation Plan
Riparian Buffer Project 14 July 2022

cover 100% of the costs associated with the monitoring and maintenance of the riparian restoration areas
for five years.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed to cover the next years monitoring period, with
confirmation of renewal provided to DWR with each annual monitoring report when applicable. DWR
reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of
bond renewals when applicable.
8 PROJECTS CREDIT POTENTIAL
This Project has the potential to generate approximately 10.36 acres (451,076.324 ftz) of riparian buffer
restoration credits on existing non -forested cattle pasture. The riparian buffer mitigation credits generated
will service the Randleman Lake Watershed buffer impacts. The Sponsor will maintain one credit ledger for
Buffer Restoration credits. All mitigation credit assets shall be shown on the credit ledger. The total
potential mitigation credits that the Bobs Branch Riparian Buffer Mitigation Project will generate are
summarized in Table 7; Figure 5.

Randolph County
Subject: On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Randleman Lake Buffer Rules (15A NCAC
02B .0724)
Project Name: Bobs Branch Mitigation Project
Address / Location: About two miles northwest of New Market, NC
Determination Date: December 3, 2020
Mr. Spencer,
Staff: Rick Trone
On December 3, 2020, Rick Trone of the Division of Water Resources conducted an on -site review of
features located on the subject property at the request of Resource Environmental Solutions (RES)
to determine the applicability to the Randleman Lake Riparian Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC
02B .0724).
The enclosed map(s) depict the feature(s) evaluated. This information is also summarized in the
table below. Streams that are considered "Subject" have been located on the most recently
published NRCS Soil Survey of Randolph County and/or the most recent copy of the USGS
Topographic (at 1:24,000 scale) map(s), have been located on the ground at the site, and possess
characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams. Features that are considered
"Not Subject" have been determined to not be at least intermittent or not present on the property
or not depicted on the required maps.
This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any
activity within buffers or within waters of the state. There may be other streams or features
located on the property that do not appear on the maps referenced above. Any of the features
on the site may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and
subject to the Clean Water Act.
The following table addresses the features rated during the DWR site visit:

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation — Bobs Branch Site
4734 Old Edgar Rd, Sophia, NC
Cape Fear River Basin - Randleman Lake Watershed
Randolph County
Dear Ms. McEachran,
On October 19, 2020, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a
request from you on behalf of EBX, LLC (EBX) for a site visit near the above -referenced site in the
Randleman Lake Watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin. The site visit was to determine the
potential for riparian buffer mitigation within a proposed Easement Boundary, which is more
accurately shown in the attached map labeled `Bob's Branch Overview" (Figure 1). On December 3,
2020, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with EBX were also present.
This site is also being proposed as a stream or wetland project.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB)
and landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015).

2The area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(5) and 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(4). Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule.
'Determinations made for this Site are determined based on the proposal provided in maps and figures submitted with the request.

proposed mitigation areas shown in Figure 1. Maps representing the proposal for the site are
attached to this letter and are initialed by Ms. Merritt on February 16, 2021. Substantial changes to
the proposed easement boundary could affect the Site's potential to generate buffer and nutrient
offset credits.

All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian
restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to
be eligible for buffer mitigation credits.
This viability assessment will expire on February 16, 2023 or upon approval of a mitigation
plan by the DWR, whichever comes first. This letter should be provided in any nutrient offset,

Re: RES Cape Fear 03 UMB (Bobs Branch Mitigation Bank) / SAW-2020-01380/ Randolph County
Dear Mrs. Dailey:
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 for this 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 or 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.gov/raleigh>. Our web page contains
a complete and updated list of federally protected species, and a list of federal species of concern
known to occur in each county in North Carolina.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to review and provide comments on the proposed action.
Should you have any questions regarding the project, please contact Kathy Matthews at (919) 856-

RE: Helianthus schweinitzii Survey at Bobs Branch Mitigation Site,
Randolph County, NC
A plant survey for the federally listed Schweinitz's sunflower, Helianthus schweinitzii (Fed E, State E
S2 G3), was conducted on October 12, 2021 at the Bobs Branch Stream, Wetland, and Riparian Buffer
Mitigation Project (a Federal -Aid project (FHWA lead agency) administered by the North Carolina Division
of Mitigation Services), located near Sophia, NC in Randolph County. H. schweinitzii is endemic to the
Piedmont regions of North and South Carolina, historically being centered around Charlotte, NC and Rock
Hill, SC. Suitable habitat for H. schweinitzii includes disturbed areas with full -partial sun exposure such as
roadsides and powerline cuts; historically, it has occurred in dry, open woodlands and Piedmont prairies. In
North Carolina, the known distributions of H. schweinitzii occur in Surry, Stokes, Catawba, Gaston, Rowan,
Davidson, Randolph, Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Stanly, Montgomery, Union, Anson, and Richmond counties.
This species faces threats including alteration of native habitat, fire suppression, roadside/utility right-of-
way maintenance, invasive species encroachment and other anthropogenic impacts. The current land
conditions within the Bobs Branch site include a small portion of forested riparian area along Bob Branch,
while the rest of the site is active cattle pasture, lacking a well -developed understory and shrub strata. The
riparian areas most closely resemble a disturbed dry basic oak forest, including eastern red cedar (Juniperus
virginiona), post oak (Quercus stelloto), willow oak (Quercus phellos), winged elm (Ulmus alato), sweet gum
(Liquidambor styrocifluo), red maple (Ater rubrum), persimmon (Diospyros virginiona) and green ash
(Froxinus pennsylvanica). The pasture is dominated by dogfennel (Eupotorium copillifolium), panicled aster
(Symphyotrichum lonceolatum), fescue grass (Festuca sp.), pokeweed (Phytolocco americano), and common
rush (Juncus effusus).
The survey team including Emily Ulman and Hannah Gadai, visited a reference population for H.
schweinitzii on October 12, 2021 at a roadside population of roughly 35 stems near Sophia, NC, about two
miles west of the project site; coordinates are 35.841785,-79.900592. The surveying team had reviewed
elemental occurrence data provided by the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) and had a dichotomous
key for the genus Helianthus, adapted from Schilling (2006) and Weakley (2008). The survey team has
performed rare plant surveys in the past for threatened and endangered plant species throughout North
Carolina.
At the Bobs Branch site, the surveying team walked along the boundary and within the easement
recording species present and any occurrences of potential suitable habitat. Because this site was mainly
dominated by pasture grass and active cattle grazing, there was minimal likelihood that H. schweinitzii
would be alive and present. Most of the herbaceous layer had either been eaten or trampled. After a
thorough examination of the area and an assessment of the habitat present, no suitable habitat was located
and therefore, no populations were found at this project site.
In conclusion, after conducting a more thorough evaluation of the habitat present at the Bobs
Branch Mitigation Site and surveying for H. schweinitzii specifically, we have determined that there is no
suitable habitat present, therefore, we are changing the conclusion on the species conclusion table on
the self -certification letter from may affect to no effect on any H. schweinitzii populations. Moving
forward, as the habitat is improved and restored to mimic the natural conditions of the original landscape,
there is potential to create and foster suitable habitat for H. schweinitzii throughout the Bobs Branch
Mitigation Site.

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.
TC7032932.2s Page A-1

GEOCHECK® - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY
GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION
Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional
using site -specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other
sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data
collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers).
TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. 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.

GEOCHECK® - 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.
Refer to the Physical Setting Source Map following this summary for hydrologic information (major waterways
and bodies of water).

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.

GEOCHECK® - 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.
