maintenance responsibilities of the Bank Parcel.
G. Requests for deviation from the approved BPDP must be submitted to the DWR in
writing. Written approval from the DWR must be received prior to implementing any
deviation from the approved BPDP.
Monitoring
H. The Sponsor shall monitor each Bank Parcel as described in the BPDP until such time as
DWR determines that the success criteria described below have been met. The
monitoring period shall be a minimum of five years.
I. Trees should be planted at a density sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity.
To achieve this density, approximately 436 (10x10 feet spacing) to 681 (8x8 feet spacing)
trees per acre should be planted initially.
Vegetative Success Criteria: Reporting criteria of the riparian buffer restoration shall be
based on the Carolina Vegetation Survey ( "CVS ") - EEP Protocol for Recording
Vegetation Level 1 -2 Plot Sampling Only Version 4.0 or any updated versions of this
protocol in place at the date of acceptance of the BPDP. "Character Trees" are defined as
3
planted or volunteer species identified from a survey of local vegetation on less degraded
sections of the specified stream and from reference literature that details native species. A
list of Character Tree species for each Bank Parcel will be detailed in the BPDP.
Vegetative Success Criteria should be based upon guidelines set forth in the Guidelines
for Riparian Buffer Restoration prepared by the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (or subsequent updated versions of this Guidance in place at the date of
acceptance of a BPDP). Success will be defined as the survival of an average density of
320 planted trees per acre after five years. If vegetative success criteria are not met,
supplemental plantings may be required. Supplemental plantings will be utilized until the
required densities have been achieved and maintained for five years.
K. Monitoring Reports for Riparian Buffer Credit: The Sponsor shall submit to the DWR
an annual monitoring report no later than December 31 of each year for a minimum of
five years after the first full growing season. This report will describe the conditions of
each Bank Parcel, including an evaluation of the success criteria contained within the
approved BPDP. Reports shall contain the following:
1. A U.S. Geological Survey map showing location of the Bank Parcel(s);
2. A detailed narrative summarizing the condition of the Bank Parcel(s) and all
regular maintenance activities; and
3. Appropriate topographic survey showing location of sampling plots, permanent
photo points, location of transects, etc.; and
4. Monitoring data, including specific vegetative counts and photographs; and
5. A copy of the most recent Bank credit/debit ledgers; and
6. Corresponding buffer authorizations, permits, or variances from local
governments with jurisdiction or DWR; and
7. Corresponding Mitigation Transfer Certificates
Contingency Plans/Remedial Actions
L. In the event the Bank Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria described in this
Instrument and the approved BPDP, the Bank Sponsor shall develop necessary
contingency plans in coordination with the DWR and implement appropriate remedial
actions for the Bank Parcel and the Bank. Depending on the degree of remedial actions
required, the DWR may modify the monitoring period.
Financial Assurances
M. Following approval of the BPDP, the Sponsor shall provide a Performance Bond from a
surety company that is rated no less than an "A -" as rated by A.M. Best. The
M
Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the
buffer restoration and /or stormwater BMP project as described in the approved BPDP,
but not less than $150,000.00.
N. Alternatively, in lieu of posting the Performance Bond, the Sponsor may elect to
construct the project prior to the first credit release.
O. After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance /Maintenance
Bond will be secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and
maintenance plan but not less than $100,000.00. The Performance /Maintenance Bond
shall be in effect for a minimum of five years, and until DWR has released all mitigation
credits to the Bank Sponsor. Upon DWR approval, this may be lowered each year based
on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring
VI. CALCULATION OF MITIGATION CREDITS AND CREDIT RELEASE
SCHEDULE
A. Riparian Buffer Credit may be achieved through restoration or enhancement of the DWR
riparian buffer, as defined in 15A NCAC 02B .0250 and per 15A NCAC 02B .0252 and
may be subject to mitigation ratios.
B. Riparian Buffer Credit is defined as one (1) buffer credit per one square foot or 43,560
