Based on four, 100 m2 monitoring plots, overall seedling density for planted species exceeded success the success criterion of 320 seedlings per acre. For the 2014 growing season, estimated seedling density was 506.1 +121.5 seedlings per acre. Seedling density after the previous (2013) growing season was 455.5 +137.8 seedlings per acre. The increase in seedling density was due to a supplemental planting of 800 seedlings in January 2014 and resprouting from rooted plant tissue of previously assumed non - surviving seedlings.

The site is located east of the Edgecombe County town of Tarboro, NC and may be accessed by driving east on US 264 approximately 5 miles from Tarboro (Figure 1). At Exit 491, take Chinquapin Road (SR `1524) 2 miles north to NC 111: Take a right turn on NC 111 and drive approximately 0.3 miles and take a right turn onto Roberson School Road (SR 1524). Continue on Roberson School Road for approximately ,0.6 miles and take a right turn onto the'unnamed farm road with circular metal grain storage buildings located in the distance from the road. Continue 0.3 miles on farm road to a bridge over a,drainage canal. The project site, is located to the east of the canal and,south of the m metal buildings along a streaside tree line (Figures 2 and 3). The purpose of the nutrient mitigation bank is to improve water quality within the Tar River Basin by reducing nutrient and sediment.inputs to the watershed and provide off -site mitigation for development requiring nutrient offsets. The bank parcel is located within the Lower Tar Watershed (HUC: 03020103). The `bank parcel buffets an un -named tributary to Ballahack Canal which in turn is a tributary to Conetoe Creek which enters the Tar River near the Pitt County town of Falkland, NC. Ballahack Canal is an impaired stream with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources — Division of Water Resources designation: ,28- 87 -1.2 C NSW 8.4 mi. AL B -9 SS - -02 I FS. The local landscape is in row crop agriculture, cut -over forest scrubland and forest. ,Soils range from well drained loamy sands to very poorly drained loams (Figure 4). In the 2012 growing season, prior to the installation of tree seedlings, the site was in soybean production. The bank parcel is 10 acres, including'5.45 acres (237,4'02 square feet) of Tar - Pamlico riparian buffer credit and 4.55 acres (198,198 square feet) of nutrient offset buffer credit (Figures 5a and 5b). Nitrogen and phosphorus credits generated by the nutrient offset buffetttotal 10,342.24 lb -N at'2,273.02 lb -N /acre and 666.12 lb -P at 146.4 lb -P. /Were. This bank parcel was established under the terms and conditions of the Greene Environmental Services Tar - Pamlico River Basin Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Umbrella Bank made and entered into by Mr. Bobby Ham of Greene Environmental Services, LLC, acting as the Bank Sponsor and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources — Division of Water Resources. In October 2012, a stream determination was recorded by Martin Richmond of DWR and a preliminary site visited was made by Katie Merritt of DWR; the site was determined to be suitable for nutrient offset.mitigation and riparian buffer. 3 The parcel is located in the Edgecombe County Drainage District #2 which includes Ballahack Canal. The Drainage District maintains a 20 -foot easement along the Canal. When designing the Evans Ballahack Bank Parcel the area under easement was avoided such that the easement no_ r any drainage structures were encumbered by the Bank. Seedling Planting Design The Evans/Ballahack Bank Parcel, was initially planted with character trees in February and March of 2013. The suite of tree species selected for the bank parcel should be, well'- adaptedt.or tolerant to the soil and drainage conditions throughout the site. Soils at the Evans / Ballahack mitigation site were loams and sandy loams and ranged from very poorly drained soils to well - drained; historic ditching has most likely increase the rate of soil drainage (Figure,4). Bareroot seedlings were obtained from the North Carolina Forest'Service, Nursery, Claridge Nursery, Goldsboro, NC. All tree seedlings planted generally ranged in height from 1 foot to 4 feet. The species most frequently planted on soils with poor drainage were bald cypress, black gum and river 'birch (Table 1). The species most frequently planted on better drained soils were red oak and white oak. Persimmon, yellow poplar, sycamore, water oak and willow oak were planted throughout with the exception of areas which exhibited frequent ponding. Seedlings were planted in rows roughly paralleling the buffered stream at l Oft by l Oft spacings. A total of 5000 bareroot seedlings, thus averaging 500 seedlings per acre, of ten character species were planted at the Evans / Ballahack parcel during February and March 2013 (Table 2). Yellow poplar, black gum, white oak and bald cypress were the most frequently planted species, accountingxfor 52% of the seedlings planted. River birch, sycamore, water oak and willow oak accounted for 40% of the total seedlings planted. Persimmon and red oak accounted for 8% of the total seedlings planted. While planting, soils, microsite and surface drainage conditions were noted and appropriate species were, planted on these sites. (Table 1). In addition to the initial planting, a supplemental planting`was undertaken in January of 2014. Based' on a visual assessment and cursory quantitative assessment, there were sizeable gaps in seedling success within the tracts that were not necessarily reflected in monitoring plot records. A total of 800 additional seedlings were planted,in two parallel rows running the length of the Parcel. Bareroot seedlings planted were two hundred each of sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), white oak (Quercus alba), red oak (Q rubra) and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) (Table.2). This increased the percentage of planted seedling of sycamore, white oak, red oak and bald cypress by 12, 16, 7 and 4 percent, respectively, while reducing the percentage for all other species. Monitoring Plots Surveyed boundary points were demarked with 6 -foot metal T -posts and the boundary between the mitigation parcel and the adjacent agricultural land was marked with white,, 5 -foot PVC posts atop metal rods at 100 -foot intervals. Four, l Om by 1`Om (0.0247 -acre) monitoring plots were established on the parcel using CVS protocols (Figures 5a and 5b). Tracts 2 and 4 each have one plot; the largest tract, Tract 3, has{ two plots. The corners- of each plot were marked with white, 4 1,0400t PVC posts atop metal rods. Seedlings within the monitoring plots were flagged with blue, plastic, flagging tape and white pinflags All seedlings within each plot were located and mapped (Figures 6a -6d). Plot photographs were made from a location at the northwest corner with.a view toward the southeast corner (Figure 7). Second Year Monitoring Plot Data Analysis As per discussions with NC DENR, Division of Water Resources staff, seedlings of water oak and willow oak were not used as criteria to measure seedling establishment success,in Monitoring Plot BLK -3. Plot BILK -3 is located approximately 100 feet from a mature forest stand on property adjacent to the Bank Parcel. The mature stand contains specimens of water oak and willow oak thus they are potential sources of propagules for natural colonization. The other three monitoring, plots are of sufficient distance from the mature stand that natural colonization was deemed unlikely. The data analyses that follow exclude water oak and willow oak counts in Plot BLK -3. In August,2014, during the latter part of "the second growing season an average seedling density among the four monitoring plots was 12.5 +3.0 seedlings per plot (Table 3). Thus the average density of 506.1 +1`21.5 seedlings per acre (Table 4). Plot,BLK -1 in Tract 2 had the greatest density with 16 seedlings per 100m2 plot, thus 64,7.8 seedlings per acre. Plots BLK -2 (Tract 2) and BLK -4 (Tract 4) had the lowest density with 10 seedlings, thus 4,04.9 seedlings per acre in these plots. The most frequently encountered,species within the, monitoring plots were blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica) and bald cypress (Taxodium, distichum) accounting for 18 percent and 16 percent, respectively,, and 34 percent of the total seedlings, collectively (Table 5). Willow oak (Quercus phellos), water oak (Quercus nigra) were the least represented species found in the monotporing plakts,at °6 and 2 percent, respectively American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) seedlings were planted in the Ballahack Parcel but were not recorded within the monitoring plots. A comparison of seedling success in the monitoring plots at the end of the first growing season, October -2013, to August 2014 of the second growing season the indicated that sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) experienced the,greatest percent increase in relative density (40.5 percent); this species was planted in the supplemental planting of January 20,14. Red oak (Quercus rubea) was also planted supplementally and exhibited 'a 20.2 ,percent increase. Willow oak (Q. phellos) and yellow poplar (Liriodendron tuhpifera) increases were recorded and can be accounted for by resprouting from root.material surviving from the previous year. Black gum (Nyssa sylvatica) and water oak (Q nigra) both declined in relative density ,by 10.1 percent; all other species remained unchanged. Overall Success, Continued Monitoring and Maintenance Plan The Evans/Ballahack Parcel will be monitored during the 2015 growing season to ensure, that the parcel boundaries are maintained and that any easement terms are in compliance. Between late 5 August and October of 2015, the monitoring,plots will be assessed and photographed,and the third annual report submitted to the NC Division of Water Resources. If control of invasive species or competing species is deemed necessary, glyphosate herbicide will be ,applied using backpack sprayers as well as manual and °mechanical (portable line trimmers) methods of control. Subsequent monitoring will be conducted between late August and October and annual reports submitted to DWR for a total of five growing seasons, pending final compliance. Signage has been.installed at key access locations identifying the Parcel as a conservation area; contact information and listing activities that are not allowed as per, the conservation easement.
