This project is designed to provide riparian buffer credits and nutrient offset credits for unavoidable impacts due to development within the Neuse River Basin, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 8-digit Cataloguing Unit 03020201 (Neuse 01), excluding Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 1). This Buffer and Nutrient Offset Mitigation Plan is in accordance with the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. The Project is being codeveloped with the proposed Carraway Bluff Buffer Mitigation Project (DWR #unassigned) that is contracted with the NC Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). Li Parcel Location The Carraway Bluff Phase II Project is within the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit HUC 03020201, 14- digit HUC 03020201170060 and DWR Sub -basin Number 03-04-12. The Project is in Wayne County, approximately five miles south of downtown Goldsboro, off Highway 117 (Figure 1). To access the Project from Goldsboro, head South on US 70 Business and merge onto US-177 South for approximately 4.5 miles. Then turn left onto Old Mt Olive Highway and drive approximately 1.2 miles. Then turn left onto Genoa Road, for about a half a mile, then turn left onto Robert Avenue (Figure 2). The coordinates are 35.3280007, -78.010718. 1.2 Parcel Overview The Carraway Bluff Phase II project consists of a conservation easement that will total approximately 34.21 acres and is being codeveloped with the proposed Carraway Bluff Buffer Mitigation Project (DMS Project #: 100186, DWR #: unassigned) contracted with DMS. The Project will extend riparian areas associated with the DMS project as well as incorporate the riparian buffer and surrounding riparian area of additional stream and ditch features on the property. Carraway Bluff Phase II extends the riparian area of the Neuse River, Carraway Creek, BH1, BH2, BH4 and adds an additional unnamed stream (BH3). It also includes additional nutrient reduction area of D4 and additional ditch features (D2, D3, D5, and D6) that drain to Carraway Creek. Carraway Creek is a USGS-named stream that drains to the Neuse River onsite (Figure 3). Current land use within the Project is crop production, specifically corn and soybeans (Figure 4a). Much of the Project area has been used extensively for agricultural purposes for at least 70 years (Figure 5). Water quality stressors currently affecting the Project include heavily manipulated/relocated and maintained stream channels, nutrient loadings from active crop production, and lack of forested riparian buffers. Current buffer conditions demonstrate significant degradation with the loss of stabilizing vegetation because of ongoing crop production. The goal of the Project is to restore ecological function to the existing streams and ditches and their associated riparian areas by establishing appropriate plant communities while minimizing temporal and land disturbing impacts. Buffer and surrounding riparian area improvements will filter runoff from agricultural fields, thereby reducing nutrient and sediment loads to Project channels and provide water quality benefit to the overall watershed. The Carraway Bluff Phase I and Phase II Projects are comprised of four intermittent stream channels: BH1, BH2, BH3, and BH4; five ditches, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D6; and two perennial stream channels, Carraway Creek, and the Neuse River (Figure 4a). All streams except Carraway Creek and the Neuse River have Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 2 August 2022 clearly been straightened, are incised, and have obvious signs of heavy sediment influx. Four stream reaches (BH1, BH2, Carraway Creek and Neuse River) were determined to be subject to the Neuse buffer protection rules (Subject), whereas the two other stream reaches and five ditches (BH3, BH4, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D6) are not subject to the Neuse buffer protection rules (non -subject). Stream determinations were verified by the DWR during a site visit on March 24th, 2021. Correspondence regarding this determination is in Appendix A. Buffer mitigation and riparian area improvement efforts along the Project streams will be accomplished through the planting, establishment, and protection of a hardwood forest community. The result will be a riparian area that functions to mitigate nutrient and sediment inputs from the surrounding uplands. This BPDP is being submitted for review under the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295) and Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0703). DWR staff performed a buffer viability assessment for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset potential on July 29th, 2021. This correspondence is provided in Appendix A. In addition to traditional riparian restoration and enhancement, the Project will also incorporate the alternative buffer mitigation options: Restoration and Enhancement on Non -Subject Streams, as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(3). As outlined in this BPDP, any areas of riparian restoration proposed for nutrient offset credit would rely on nutrient offset credit calculations in accordance with the "NCDWR — Methodology and Calculation for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer Establishment." The Project will provide significant functional uplift to the watershed. The Project credits will be derived from restoration of the riparian areas, streams, ephemeral channels, and ditches within or adjacent to the Project boundary. The riparian buffer mitigation credits and nutrient offset credits will be produced by establishing a native forested and herbaceous riparian plant community and protecting buffers and riparian areas in perpetuity with a conservation easement. The new plant community will be established in conjunction with the treatment of existing exotic or undesirable plant species. For all features (streams and ditches), buffers will have a minimum width of 50 feet and a maximum of up to 200 feet from the edge of the channels. Figure 6 shows the Conceptual Design Plan for Buffer and Credit Determination Map, and Section 8 provides details of the Project credit determination on the Carraway Bluff Phase II Project. 1.2.1 Parcel Ownership The land required for the construction, management, and stewardship of this Project includes the parcel listed in Table 1. EBX is under contract to obtain the property in fee simple and will then record a conservation easement for the Project area within the property. 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. Table 1.

Class C waters are protected for uses such as 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. NSW designation is intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to being subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation (NCDWQ 2011). 2.1.2 Physiography and Soils The Project is located within the Rolling Coastal Plain Level IV ecoregion within the Southeastern Plains Level III ecoregion and is characterized by greater relief, elevation, and stream gradients compared to the Mid -Atlantic Coastal Plain to the east. This ecoregion contains both dissected irregular and smooth plains, and low to moderate gradient sandy -bottomed streams that branch from broad interstream divides with steep to moderately gentle side slopes. The ecoregion also contains better drained soils and a slightly cooler and shorter growing season than the Mid -Atlantic Coastal Plain; however, it is still a productive agricultural region with typical crops of corn, soybeans, tobacco, cotton, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and wheat (Griffith et al., 2002). The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS, 2021) depicts seven soil series across the Project. (Figure 7). The Project has, Johns sandy loam, Kalmia loamy sand, 0 to 2 percent slopes, Kinston loam, Lumbee sandy loam, Torhunta loam, Wagram loamy sand, 0 to 6 percent slopes, and Wickham sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes, eroded. The soil characteristics of all soils within the Project are summarized in Table 2. Table 2.

A palustrine forested broad-leaved deciduous, temporarily flooded (PFO1A) wetland encompasses most of the eastern and southern portions of the Project, with a small section of wetland in the middle and southwest corner. 2.1.4 Landscape Communities A. Existing Vegetation Communities Current land use within the Project is primarily row crops. The row crop fields directly abut most of the banks of Project streams and ditches, and the current crop in production is soybeans with one field of corn. However, small, disturbed areas of trees that are reminiscent of mixed-mesic hardwood forest (Coastal Plain subtype) exist along some of the stream banks and ditch features. The plant species that do exist in these areas include sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), water oak (Quercus nigra), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), Overcup oak (Quercus lyrata), river birch (Betula nigra), sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana), pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), and rivercane (Arundinaria gigantea). Invasive species in were noted in this area include mostly stilt -grass (microstegium vimineum) and Chinaberry (Melia azedarach). The less disturbed forested floodplain along the right bank of Carraway Creek resembles a coastal plain small stream swamp; however, due to croplands and ditching along the left bank of Carraway Creek within the Project boundary, the natural hydrology and vegetation has been disturbed and displays species more consistent with a mixed-mesic hardwood forest (Coastal Plain subtype). This area includes trees and saplings such as red maple, white oak (Quercus alba), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), and American elm (Ulmus americana). The herbaceous layer includes muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica). Invasive species were noted in these areas and include mostly Japanese stilt -grass (microstegium vimineum) Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and Chinaberry (Melia azedarach). B. Riparian Vegetation In general, the Project reaches do not function to their full potential. Current conditions demonstrate significant habitat degradation with a loss of stabilizing vegetation because of impacts from ongoing crop production. Throughout the Project there are also some invasive plant species. Carraway Bluff Phase I and Phase II is comprised of or adjacent to, the Neuse River, Carraway Creek, and four unnamed stream features (BH1, BH2, BH3, and BH4) and five ditches (D2, D3, D4, D5, and D6). Riparian vegetation conditions onsite consist of mature riparian forest and active row crops. On the Neuse River, serving as the northernmost portion of the project, the riparian vegetation consists of a narrow band of mature riparian vegetation, and active row crops. Carraway Creek, serving as the easternmost portion of the Project, consists of mature riparian area that extends beyond the limits of the easement on its right bank. Mature riparian areas along the left bank are narrow and abut active crop fields. Some areas along the left bank contain weedy, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation. There are localized areas along the left bank where eroded meander bends have migrated into the adjacent agricultural fields. BH1, the stream on the western side of the project, consists of a modified natural stream and is channelized and maintained to promote drainage for crop production. This area contains some mature trees along the top of bank but consists of small, planted woody vegetation along the left bank. This area contains some mature trees along the top of bank but mainly consists of small, planted woody vegetation along the left Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 5 August 2022 bank. The planted wood vegetation was planted as part of the adjacent Conservation Easement of a recently closed out Buffer and Nutrient Project with NCDWR. Invasive species include Chinese privet and Chinaberry. The right bank however has no riparian buffer. Once the stream makes an abrupt turn to the east through the crop fields, the reach has no riparian buffer on either bank. The Neuse Buffers on the right bank of BH1 at the top of the reach were impacted from timbering in 1998 and would have been in violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules (Appendix A, Figure 5) an outside the baseline date for Nutrient Crediting. Once the stream makes an abrupt turn to the east through the crop fields, the reach has no riparian buffer on either bank. After about 200 feet, the riparian buffers were not intact at the time the Neuse Buffer Rules went into effect as there was a cleared road along the right bank of the stream from the top of bank out 40 — 50 feet that was mostly likely used to maintain the stream. Additionally downstream of confluence with BH3, BH1 had no intact buffers at the time the Neuse Buffe Rules went into effect. The stream banks of BH1 contain tall, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation. The current crop in production is soybean. Where BH1 enters the Carraway Creek floodplain, the riparian area becomes sufficiently buffered through mature forest. In the forested area at the most downstream limit of BH1, there are invasive species, Chinese privet, present along the agricultural field edge. BH2, the tributary stream on the western side of the project, like BH1, the reach is a modified natural stream that has been channelized and maintained to promote drainage for crop production and flows eastward through cropland until meeting the Carraway Creek floodplain. At the origin point until BH2 turns abruptly right to cross the field, the left bank of BH2 abuts a Conservation Easement of recently closed out Buffer and Nutrient Project with NCDWR. As it crosses the field, both banks abut active crop fields, and the riparian buffer and surrounding riparian area are devoid of trees or woody vegetation. Stream banks contain weedy, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation. The current crop within the fields is soybean. As the reach enters the Carraway Creek floodplain, the riparian area becomes sufficiently buffered through mature forest, although the invasive species, Chinese privet, is present along the forest edge. Like BH1, prior to the 1998 timbering, the forested buffer of the Carraway Creek floodplain extended further west, or upstream along BH2. However, this would only impact the DMS project as the riparian areas within the Bank project were all active crop fields at this time. BH3, on the southern portion of the project, consists of a modified natural stream. BH3 has been channelized and maintained to promote drainage for crop production and flows east to west in the upstream section of the project and then makes an abrupt turn north through a collapsed culvert and passes through cropland until the confluence with BH1. Both banks are surrounded by active crop fields and the riparian buffer condition is absent. Stream banks contain some maintained, herbaceous vegetation and little to no woody vegetation. Like BH1, the left bank of BH3 was forested prior to the timbering in 1998, however this stream was considered not subject to the buffer rules and therefore the timber activities were not a violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules, but any forested areas were excluded from the Nutrient Baseline. BH4, on the most southern border of the project has an origin point outside of the project area where it transitions from ditch to an intermittent stream and drains to Carraway Creek. Both sides of BH4 were forested at baseline and then the left bank was timbered in 1998. The left bank is non forested agricultural fields whereas the right bank remains forested. And similar to BH3, this stream was considered not subject to the buffer rules and therefore was not a violation of the Neuse Buffer Rules. D3 is an agricultural ditch that drains into both BH1 and BH2. D3 drains to BH1 for about 200 feet but then hits a high point, and then flows south to BH2 The ditch is 2 — 5 feet deep and is therefore too deep to be viable for buffer mitigation according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (8). This area contains some mature trees along the top of bank but mainly consists of small, planted woody vegetation along the left bank. The Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 6 August 2022 planted wood vegetation was planted as part of the adjacent buffer and nutrient project (Figure 4a). The right bank however has no riparian buffer. D4 is a ditch feature and consists of weedy, herbaceous vegetation and completely lacks a riparian buffer on the left bank. The right bank contains some larger trees but consists mostly of small, planted stems from the adjacent buffer and nutrient project (Figure 4a). The crop fields extend to the top of the left bank of the feature. D5 is an agricultural ditch that drains into BH3, the banks of the ditch are non -forested agricultural fields. However, the ditch is too deep to be viable for buffer mitigation according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (8). D6 is an agricultural ditch that drains into BH-3; however, the ditch is too deep to be viable for buffer mitigation according to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o) (8). The current land -use at the time of writing this BPDP has remained unchanged since the site viability assessment for buffer mitigation and nutrient offset, conducted by DWR on July 29th, 2021. 2.1.5 Existing Conditions Photos Looking Upstream along BH1 March 23, 2022 Looking Upstream along BH2 March 23, 2022 Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Looking Downstream along BH1 March 23, 2022 Looking Downstream along BH2 March 23, 2022 Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 7 August 2022 Looking Upstream along BH3 March 23, 2022 Looking Upstream along BH4 March 23, 2022 Looking Upstream along D4 (Ditch) March 23, 2022 Looking Downstream along BH3 March 23, 2022 Looking Upstream along D3 (Ditch) March 23, 2022 Looking Downstream along D4 (Ditch) March 23, 2022 Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 8 August 2022 Looking Upstream along D5 (Ditch) March 23, 2022 Looking Upstream along D6 (Ditch) March 23, 2022 Looking Upstream along Carraway Creek March 23, 2022 Looking Downstream along D5 (Ditch) March 23, 2022 Looking Downstream along D6 (Ditch) March 23, 2022 Looking Downstream along Carraway Creek March 23, 2022 Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 9 August 2022 3 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 Threatened and Endangered Species Plants and animals with a federal classification of endangered or threatened are protected under provisions of Sections 7 and 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. According to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAC) database review tool (accessed February 18th, 2021) and the self -certification process conducted by RES and submitted to the USFWS on March 25th, 2021, the list of threatened or endangered species includes the Red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis). Two additional species on the list submitted to USFWS were proposed for listing at the time of screening and are now listed, the Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) and the Carolina Madtom (Noturus Furiosus). The Carraway Bluff Project does not contain any suitable habitat for the Red -cockaded woodpecker nor the Carolina Madtom. The Project does contain suitable habitat for the Neuse River Waterdog, and overall, the project will provide long term benefits to the species by providing additional forested and protected buffers. RES intendeds to avoid instream work where suitable habitat is located. Most of the work conducted on site will involve tree planting with a few culverts' removal or repairs. Any culvert work will include protective measures to ensure a minimal sediment impact downstream. The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires consultation with state fish and wildlife agencies when "waters of any stream or other body of water are proposed or authorized, permitted, or licensed to be impounded, diverted...or otherwise controlled or modified. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) was consulted during the Categorical Exclusion process and the NCWRC did not comment on any state or federally listed species; however, they did recommend the use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices and to treat invasive species as part of the Project. Documentation is included in Appendix C. 3.2 Cultural Resources A review of North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS Web Service (September 3, 2020) database did not reveal any registered occurrences within the Project area; however, there was one occurrence within a half -mile radius, Montague -Orton Farm. RES consulted with the SHPO during the CE process and the SHPO had "conducted a review of the project and are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project." Documentation is included in Appendix C. 3.3 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)/ Hydrologic Trespass The entire Project, except for a small portion along the southern boundary, is in FEMA Zone AE and contains a FEMA regulatory floodway starting halfway up the proposed easement and continuing north (3720259700K, 2018; Figure 10 or Figure 4b). FEMA mapping also shows a small .2% Chance Annual Flood zone at the southern boundary of the Project. As the Project progresses, the implications of updating Culverts outside of the Project Area will be considered and determined whether a No -Rise FEMA permit is needed. A Floodplain Development Permit will be obtained from the Wayne County Floodplain Administrator prior to construction to ensure the proposed project meets the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the community's floodplain management regulations. Also, adjacent land use will not be affected by the proposed design and no detrimental impacts are expected. 3.4 Clean Water Act - Section 401/404 This project will not impact/fill any Waters of the US; therefore, there will be no 401/404 permit required. Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 10 August 2022 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 February 2021. 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 AND PRESERVATION IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Riparian restoration areas adjacent to streams are shown in Figure 6 and mitigation types were determined viable for credit by the DWR in the letter dated October 22nd, 2021 (Appendix A). 4.1 Parcel Preparation Preparation at the Project will involve spraying crops and exotic invasive species, applying soil amendments, seeding native plants, and planting trees. Soil amendments will be provided across the entire planted area based on the results of soil fertility tests. A seed mix will be chosen to maximize successful herbaceous growth in all riparian areas while also incorporating valuable pollinator species. Temporary and permanent riparian seeding, and bare root plantings shall be planted according to the planting plan (Section 4.3). The limits of the riparian restoration areas will be surveyed, and the information will be provided in the As -Built report. 4.2 Methods Riparian restoration along streams and ditches will be implemented to generate nutrient offset credits and riparian buffer credits. All applicable areas were determined by the site viability assessment by DWR (Appendix A). 4.2.1 Riparian Restoration Activities — stream channels and viable ditches The Project will provide riparian buffer restoration and nutrient offset through restoration activities as defined and described in the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n), 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(3) and (7). Nutrient offset credits generated from riparian restoration activities will comply with the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0703. Restoration activities will include the planting of bare root trees as described in Section 4.3. These restoration activities will begin from the tops of the stream banks and extend a minimum of 50 feet from the stream outward to a maximum of 200 feet perpendicular to the stream channel. The riparian buffer mitigation areas will entail: • Top of bank to 100 feet of restoration on a non -subject stream that was forested at 1995 baseline (BH3 and BH4); • 101 to 200 feet of restoration on a non -subject stream that was forested at 1995 baseline (BH3); Boundary of DMS Easement to 200 feet of riparian restoration on a Subject stream (Neuse River, Carraway Creek and BH1); The nutrient offset credit areas will entail: • Top of bank to 100 feet of restoration on a non -subject and not buffer viable ditches (D3, D4, and D5); • 101 to 200 feet of restoration on a non -subject and not buffer viable ditches (D3, D4, and D5); Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 11 August 2022 • Boundary of DMS Easement to 200 feet of riparian restoration on a Subject stream (Neuse River, Carraway Creek, BH2 and BH1); • Top of bank to 100 feet of riparian restoration on a non -subject stream that were not forested at baseline (BH3); and • 101 to 200 feet of riparian restoration on a non -subject stream that were not forested at baseline (BH3). 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 4.4 for further description of the easement boundaries). All reaches within the Project will include riparian buffer restoration and/or nutrient offset (Figure 6). 4.2.2 Riparian Preservation Activities Preservation will take place in the forested areas within the Project where existing tree growth was determined adequate, and in accordance with the alternative mitigation option of Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(4) and (5) and the DWR site viability assessment (Appendix A). In addition, preservation activities will include treating exotic invasive species, specifically Chinese privet. Furthermore, preservation 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. BH3 and BH4 will include preservation (Figure 6). 4.2.3 Other Activities Other activities involved with the Project include minor bank stabilization efforts, including grading and localized live staking along the toe of stream features that are showing signs of instability. As part of the Restoration activities, one culvert will be removed from the Project Area and one timber mat bridge will be built over BH2 outside of the easement. Seeding and livestaking. will occur in the locations where the existing culverts are removed (Figure 5). As mentioned earlier, this Project will be codeveloped with a DMS buffer mitigation project and includes some of the same features as this Project. Therefore, riparian planting and site preparation activities will extend beyond the limits of this Project's boundaries to include the limits of the DMS full -delivery project. 4.3 Planting Plan All riparian restoration areas will be planted from top of bank back at least 50 feet from streams with bare root tree seedlings on a nine by six-foot spacing to achieve an initial density of approximately 800 trees per acre. Planting will occur in all areas proposed for riparian buffer restoration and nutrient offset and will meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295. This includes treating invasive species and planting at least four species of native hardwood bare root trees. To ensure tree diversity across the Project area, bare root trees will be well mixed before planting. Mixed-Mesic Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain subtype) (Schafale, 2012) will be the target community type and will be used for all areas of existing crop field and field margins within the Project. The initial planting of bare root trees will occur before Spring 2023. The list of bare root tree species to be planted and their percentage of total species composition can be found in Table 3. Planting areas covering existing agricultural areas will also be seeded with an herbaceous seed mix to provide rapid herbaceous cover and promote immediate buffer effectiveness as well as habitat for Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 12 August 2022 pollinators and other wildlife. The seed blend will contain both temporary and permanent seed and will include taproot species. See Table 4 for the proposed herbaceous seed mix composition. The seed will be sown utilizing a no -till drill or broadcast depending on season and conditions at the time of seeding. It is possible that the as -built 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. The minimum number of unique species to be planted across the Project will be seven. This community composition is highly diverse and is suitable given the Project's soil and landscape characteristics and will provide water quality and ecological benefits. 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 (Acer rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Additionally, the livestake plantings mentioned above in Section 3.2.4 will consist of black willow (Salix nigra) and silky dogwood (Corpus amomum). After site planting and installation of monitoring devices RES will notify DWR within 30 calendar days of completion of these activities. Table 3.

Boundaries may be identified by marker, bollard, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by Project conditions and/or conservation easement. 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. These boundary markers will be installed prior to the DWR as -built site visit 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. This Project will be codeveloped with a DMS full -delivery buffer mitigation project as mentioned throughout this document and shown in figures. There will be a DMS conservation easement nested within the boundaries of this Project that will also be marked appropriately. 5 MONITORING PLAN 5.1 Monitoring Protocol and Performance Standards Annual vegetation monitoring and visual assessments will be conducted. Riparian vegetation monitoring where riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits are being generated will be based on the "Carolina Vegetation Survey -Ecosystem Enhancement Program Protocol for Recording Vegetation: Level 1-2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.2". Annual vegetation monitoring will occur each year for a minimum of five years and will be conducted during the fall season with the first year occurring at least six months from initial planting. Monitoring plots will be installed a minimum of 100 meters squared in size and will cover at least two percent of the planted mitigation area. The planted area is 32.59 acres. There will be 27vegetation plots measuring performance standards in all riparian restoration areas. These plots will be randomly placed throughout the planted riparian areas and will be representative of the riparian communities as well as both the nutrient offset credit areas and riparian buffer credit areas (Figure 9). The following data will be recorded for all trees in the plots: species, height, planting date (or volunteer), and grid location. All stems in plots will be flagged with flagging tape. 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. Native volunteer species may be included to meet the performance standards upon written 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. Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 14 August 2022 Photos will be taken at each vegetation plot each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports. Visual inspections and photos will be taken to ensure that applicable areas are being maintained and compliant. A visual assessment of the conservation easement will also be performed each year to confirm: • easement markers are in good condition throughout the site; • no encroachment has occurred; • no invasive species occur in areas where invasive species were treated; • beaver activity has not adversely affected growth or establishment of planted trees; • diffuse flow is being maintained in the conservation easement areas; 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 5. Table 5. Summary of Project Monitoring and Maintenance Activities Component/ Feature Monitoring Maintenance Through Project Close -Out Vegetation 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 fertilizing. Exotic Annual invasive plant species shall be treated by mechanical and/or chemical vegetation methods. Any vegetation requiring herbicide application will be performed in monitoring 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 noxious species will be monitored and treated so that none Invasive and Visual become dominant or alter the desired community structure of the Project. Nuisance Vegetation Assessment Locations of invasive and nuisance vegetation will be mapped and reported in the monitoring report. Project Boundary Project boundaries shall be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Carraway Bluff Phase II Project and adjacent properties or conservation easement boundaries. Boundaries will be marked with signs identifying the property as a mitigation project and will include the name of Visual the long-term steward and a contact number. Boundaries may be identified by Assessment 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 -needed basis. Easement monitoring and staking/ signage maintenance will continue in perpetuity as a stewardship activity. 5.2 Adaptive Management Plan and Project Maintenance Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions taken if the site, or a specific component of the site, fails to achieve the defined performance criteria. Remedial actions will be designed to achieve the performance criteria specified in this Plan, and will include identification of the causes of failure, remedial design approach, work schedule, and monitoring criteria that will consider 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 first receive Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 15 August 2022 approval by DWR prior to any mowing activities to ensure that no buffer violations will be committed. Failure to receive approval to mow within the Neuse River buffer, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0714 by DWR, could result in Neuse River buffer violations and violations of the conservation easement. If necessary, EBX will develop a species -specific control plan. Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 16 August 2022 6 LONG TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN The long-term stewardship plan for the site entails that the Project would be transferred to an approved conservation easement holder. EBX intends to assign this conservation easement to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Stewardship program. The NCDEQ Stewardship program currently holds conservation easements for many North Carolina Division of Mitigation Service projects and is working to get approved as a conservation easement holder for DWR. The adjacent nature of these projects makes NCDEQ a good fit to manage both easements. In the unexpected situation that they are not approved, EBX will transfer the conservation easement to another approved easement holder. EBX is the fee simple owner of the parcel on which the Project is located. Therefore, to disincentivize long-term holding of the easement by an EBX-affiliated company for longer than is minimally necessary, EBX commits to ensure that the assignment is completed prior to the end of the Monitoring Year 2 in accordance with the RES 2022 Phase II UMBI. Additionally, EBX proposes a Task 5 for the assignment of the easement to the approved holder. This task can be completed at any time leading up to the end of Monitoring Year 2. It must be completed before any future credits are released as shown in Table 7. Once approved, NCDEQ Stewardship Program would serve as the conservation easement holder and entity responsible for long term stewardship of the Project. This party would conduct periodic inspection of the Project to ensure that restrictions required in the conservation easement are upheld. 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. An engagement letter is being prepared; however, as it goes through state approval processes, email correspondence to document the NCDEQ Stewardship Program's intent to work together with EBX and DWR is included in Appendix C. The Stewardship Program will periodically install signage to identify boundary markings as needed. Any livestock or associated fencing or permanent crossings will be the responsibility of the owner of the underlying fee to maintain. 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 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. Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 17 August 2022 8 PROJECT'S CREDIT POTENTIAL This Project has the potential to generate up to 511,879 ft2 riparian buffer mitigation credits and provide 944,064 ft2 (49,262.521 lbs. of N) of nutrient offset credits within a 34.21-acre conservation easement as depicted in Figure 6. These will be derived from riparian restoration and preservation. The credits generated will service the Neuse 01 watershed, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed. Also, some of these proposed buffer mitigation credits, where viable, can be converted to nutrient offset credit in accordance with the Nutrient Offset Credit Trading Rule, 15A NCAC 02B .0703. In accordance with the UMBI, any credit conversions must be calculated using the guidance provided in the Clarified Procedures for Calculating Buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits letter issued by the DWR. Upon receiving written approval by the NCDWR, nutrient offset credits, within the 0-100-foot zone, (87,337 ft2) and within 101- 200-foot zone (312,212 ft2) along BH1, Carraway Creek, and Neuse River can be converted to riparian buffer credit, generating up to 190,367 Riparian Buffer Credits. The total potential buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits that the Carraway Phase II Mitigation Project will generate were calculated using the DWR "Project Credit Table Template (Updated July 2022)" and are presented in Table 6. Furthermore, Figure 8 depicts riparian zones of 50, 100, and 200 feet from top of banks to demonstrate width requirements for crediting. There will be three credit ledgers for the project: Buffer Restoration, Buffer Preservation, and Nutrient Carraway Bluff Phase II Mitigation Project Bank Parcel Development Package Riparian Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset 18 August 2022 Table 1.

DANIEL SMITH Director Jamey McEachran Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (via electronic mail: jmceachran@res.us ) NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality October 22, 2021 Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Carraway Bluff Site Near 35.330, -78.010 in Dudley, NC Neuse 03020201 Wayne County Dear Ms. McEachran, On June 17, 2021, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request from you on behalf of Environmental Banc & Exchange, LLC (EBX), a RES company, for a site visit near the above -referenced site in the Neuse River Basin within the 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The site visit was to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within a proposed conservation easement boundary, which is more accurately depicted in the attached map labeled "Figure 1-Exisiting Conditions" (Figure 1) prepared by EBX. The proposed easement boundary in Figure 1, includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of a mitigation site. On July 29, 2021, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with Wildlands were also present.

The maps representing the proposal for the site are attached to this letter and initialed by Ms. Merritt on October 22, 2021. Substantial changes to the proposed easement boundary as well as any site constraints identified in this letter, could affect the Site's potential to generate buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits. This letter does not constitute an approval of this Site to generate buffer and nutrient offset credits. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for written approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703, a proposal regarding a proposed nutrient load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for approval prior to any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters. 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 and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0703. This viability assessment will expire on October 22, 2023 or upon approval of a mitigation plan by the DWR, whichever comes first.

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 02/18/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-01540 2 evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. 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://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) 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.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/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.

Reid Wilson, Secretary Walter Clark Director, Division of Land and Water Stewardship NCNHDE-13979 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: httos://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.

Ms. Engel, Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the proposed project description. Comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). In conjunction with the NC Division of Mitigation Services, Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC has identified and developed the Caraway Bluff Buffer Mitigation Project. The 54.20-acre site will restore and preserve riparian buffer in perpetuity. The project area consists of agriculture and forested lands and is surrounded by agricultural and disturbed forested areas. This site is located northeast of the intersection of Pecan and Genoa Roads, south of Goldsboro. The project area drains to Caraway Creek in the Neuse River basin. Stream restoration projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing native, forested buffers in riparian areas will improve both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. In addition to stringent best management practices for erosion and sediment control during construction, the NCWRC recommends the use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting that is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Silt fencing and similar products that have been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as they impede the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs and clogging of gills. Only native vegetation should be installed onsite and any invasive plant species found in or near the project area should be removed and destroyed. Mailing Address: N.C.

Sincerely, Gabri ela Garrison Eastern Piedmont Habitat Conservation Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program Appendix D Limited Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as Superfund, created a tax on the chemical and petroleum industries to clean up abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. As a part of the environmental screening and CERCLA compliance, an EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project through Environmental Data Resources, Inc (EDR) on February 16, 2021. According to the EDR report, the project property was identified to be within one mile of an underground storage tank incident. This facility was established in 1967 by Hevi-Duty Electric and the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) disposal site was approved by NCDEQ in 1976. The disposal area was used to contain PCB -contaminated soil and debris in drums on site, just north of the manufacturing area. After the disposal site was established, transformer oil spills occurred in July of 1981, January 1986, and March 1986. Undocumented, pre-1976 releases are also known to have occurred on site. Site investigations since 1981 have detected PCB -contamination in surface water and soils from on -site culverts and ditches. PCBs have also been identified in on -site groundwater and air. This incident is still undergoing annual inspections, to ensure site compliance. This incident, although higher in the Neuse watershed, is not within or adjacent to the project area and is not within the drainage area of the Carraway Bluff Mitigation Project. This incident is located just under 1-mile northwest of the Project. Any ground disturbance within the Project has little to no potential for contaminants to enter the site. The summary of the EDR report is enclosed. In addition to the EDR search, a visual inspection of the Carraway Bluff project area was conducted to assess the potential for the occurrence of recognized environmental conditions on the property that might not have been revealed in the EDR report. The inspection was conducted to locate and identify any obvious use, storage, or generation of hazardous materials. No hazardous storage containers or substances were observed during the visual inspection. 1 Carraway Bluff 105 Morgan Circle Dudley, NC 28333 Inquiry Number: 6368027.3 February 16, 2021 Certified Sanborn® Map Report CEDIr 6 Armstrong Road, 4th floor Shelton, CT 06484 Toll Free: 800.352.0050 www. ed rn et. co m Certified Sanborn® Map Report 02/16/21 Site Name: Client Name: Carraway Bluff 105 Morgan Circle Dudley, NC 28333 EDR Inquiry # 6368027.3 Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC 302 Jefferson Street, Suite 110 Raleigh, NC 27605 Contact: Grayson Sanner CEDIr The Sanborn Library has been searched by EDR and maps covering the target property location as provided by Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC were identified for the years listed below.

The list contains data on potentially hazardous waste sites that have been reported to the USEPA by states, municipalities, private companies and private persons, pursuant to Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

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.

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.

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. TC6368027.2s 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.

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.
