The project site is approximately 6.5 miles northwest of the Town of Mount Olive and 1.7 miles south of US Highway 13 on McArthur Pond Road in Wayne County, NC (Figure 1). The Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Plan (Mitigation Plan) is being submitted for review under the Britt & Hales Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) between the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) and Eco Terra, the Bank Sponsor (Sponsor). The Parcel is approximately 24.7 acres (ac) or 1,076,332 square feet (sf) of a 180-ac tract that encompasses a series of forked, interconnected ditches and unnamed tributaries to Falling Creek. The project is located within the Neuse River Basin hydrological unit code (HUC) 03020201170010. The Mitigation Plan is being submitted for riparian buffer and nutrient offset credit in the service area designated by Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201 (Figure 2). The Parcel is located in the headwaters of three unnamed tributaries and three agricultural ditches that converge and flow into an unnamed tributary to Falling Creek, approximately 1.8 miles downstream of the project area, and subsequently into the Neuse River. The proposed project will generate 337,656.784 riparian buffer credits (RBC) and 32,985.910 pounds (Ibs) of nitrogen nutrient offset credits (NOC). The Britt & Hales Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site will address agricultural runoff by reducing sediment and nutrient loading into the unnamed tributaries and Falling Creek. Falling Creek is classified as Water Supply (WS-IV) and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by NCDWR with an impairment for dissolved oxygen. The project area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row crops. The proposed project will improve terrestrial habitats along the streams by establishing and preserving the riparian buffers and allowing the land to undergo a natural succession to a forested community. The project will restore forested riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas to a maximum of approximately 200 feet from the streams and will remove rotating crops and fertilizer inputs. The restored riparian buffer and adjacent riparian areas will filter agricultural runoff from the surrounding farm fields and provide shading to reduce stream temperatures and improve aquatic habitat. Invasive vegetation will be managed as needed within the project area to promote native vegetation. The proposed project will provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in the Neuse River Basin. The project involves the restoration and preservation of riparian buffers along three unnamed tributaries and two ditches that flow to Falling Creek. Land disturbing activities include site preparation for planting trees to enhance the vegetative buffer up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches within the approximate 24.7-acre project easement. The project area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row crops. Historical land use has been agriculture for the past 70 years according to historical USDA aerials. The project site will be permanently protected and preserved with a conservation easement that will ultimately be transferred to a land trust for long-term stewardship. Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset Plan 1 CCOIterra, HUC 03020201 September 2022 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site 2.0 Mitigation Project Summary 2.1 Project Goals The major goal of the proposed buffer and adjacent riparian area restoration is to improve water quality through ecological enhancements within the Neuse River Basin. This will be accomplished with specific goals to address agricultural runoff, including nutrients and sediment, restore terrestrial habitat and protect the project parcel in perpetuity. Specific goals and objectives are outlined in Table 1. Table 1: Water Quality and Ecological Goats and Objectives Goal Reduce nutrient loading Establish and restore riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas to filter runoff and subsurface flows from adjacent agricultural fields. Remove fertilizer input through conversion of agricultural field to forested riparian buffer. Reduce sediment loading Establish and restore riparian buffers and adjacent riparian areas to filter runoff from adjacent agricultural fields. Provide vegetative bank stabilization to decrease sediment input. Decrease water temperature and increase dissolved oxygen Establish a wide riparian corridor with canopy closure to filter nutrients and provide stream shading, reducing water temperature and increasing concentration of dissolved oxygen. Restore terrestrial habitat Plant riparian corridor with native vegetation and manage i nvasives. Protect project in perpetuity Implement and record a conservation easement on the Parcel. 2.2 Existing Conditions The Parcel will convert approximately 22.2 acres of agricultural row crop fields to forested buffers along three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2 and UT3) and three agricultural ditches (Ditch Al, B1 and B2). Refer to Figure 3 and Appendix A for the Existing Conditions Map and site photographs, respectively. Ditch Al emerges from a farm road to the south of the project area, flows north within and along the eastern border of the project area before turning west through the project area and transitioning into UT1. UT1, an intermittent stream, continues to flow west, turns to the north before its confluence with UT2 and then continues northward as UT3 to the project terminus. Ditches B1 and B2 flow east and west, respectively, until the transition/confluence with UT2, an intermittent stream. UT2 flows due west to the confluence with Ditch B2, turns north and then flows northeast through the site until its confluence with UT1. Both the unnamed tributaries and —00 Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset Plan 2 ecc erra HUC 03020201 September 2022 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site agricultural ditches are shown as water features on the 1974 Wayne County Soil Survey, however are not depicted on the 2019 US Geological Survey's (USGS) Grantham NC 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle as stream channels (Figure 4). The Parcel is composed of and surrounded entirely by agricultural fields with the exception of two small wetland areas with existing trees and vegetation to be preserved along UT1 and Ditch Al. Historical aerials denote that land use, including configuration of the channels, at the project site has been consistent since 1959 (see Appendix B). An area of dumped broken concrete exists along the boundary of one of the tree preservation areas. The concrete and any other debris or trash will be removed during the site preparation. Along UT2 and Ditch B1, there are three small areas of bank erosion that will be stabilized as part of the buffer restoration. There is a 30-inch reinforced concrete pipe culvert on UT3 within the Parcel near the project's downstream terminus. This buried culvert provides access for the landowner and will remain in place. Project attributes associated with the proposed Parcel are outlined in Table 2. . able 2: Project Attributes Britt & Hales Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site ,e . 03020201170010 River Basin 1 Neuse Geographic Location (Lat, Long) 135.254653, -78.164589 Site Protection Instrument I Conservation Easement — to be recorded 'pe of Credits III Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Total Credits 337,656.784 sf (RBC) 32,985.910 Ibs N (NOC) LBPDP Date ' February 2023 'UM Planting Date March 2023 ine Report Date May 2023 • ort Date December 2023 e December 2024 e December 2025 December 2026 December 2027 2.3 Parcel Viability NCDWR staff visited the project Parcel on March 4, 2022 to review features and determine applicability to the Neuse River Basin Riparian Area Protection Rules, Title 15A NCAC 02B .0714. NCDWR issued the official Stream Call Determination letter on April 19, 2022. On May 19, 2022, NCDWR staff re -visited the site to determine the potential for riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset within the proposed easement boundary per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and 15A NCAC 02B .0703, respectively. NCDWR issued the official Site Viability letter on June 15, 2022. A copy of both the "Applicability to the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules" and "Site Viability for Buffer Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset Plan 3 ecc erra HUC 03020201 September 2022 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site Mitigation and Nutrient Offset" letters issued by NCDWR are provided in Appendix C and summarized in Table 3.

All of the site's water conveyance features drain to UT3 which flows to an unnamed tributary to Falling Creek. Falling Creek is classified as Water Supply (WS- IV) and Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) by NCDWR with an impairment for dissolved oxygen. Falling Creek is approximately 1.8 miles downstream of the project area. WS-IV waters are used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes. They are protected for Class C uses which include aquatic life propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation and agriculture. The NSW designation is for waters needing nutrient management due to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. Drainage areas were delineated for the project area's stream (UT1, UT2 and UT3) and viable ditch (Al, B1 and B2) features utilizing Wayne County's 2-foot Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data (Figure 5). According to the 2019 USGS National Land Cover Database (NLCD), the drainage area is primarily agricultural use with limited residential use. Table 4 summarizes the drainage areas and current land use.

Infiltration is moderate, and surface runoff is slow. Seasonal high water table is at the surface. Geologically, the Parcel is located within the Rolling Coastal Plain of the Middle and Upper Coastal Plains physiographic province. Broad, flat terraces, adjacent to low -gradient stream channels, characterize both the Middle and Upper Coastal Plains. 2.6 Vegetation Vegetative communities within the project area consist of active row crops of cotton and peanuts and early successional, herbaceous and woody vegetation along the streams and ditches that are mowed and maintained. 2.7 Threatened and Endangered Species The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database and NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database were utilized to identify federally threatened and endangered species in the project area. In a letter dated June 6, 2022, the USFWS Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset Plan 5 ecc erra HUC 03020201 September 2022 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site identified four federally threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act and one species under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act as potentially occurring in the project vicinity. According to the USFWS, there are no critical habitats within the project area. A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) data dated May 26, 2022 did not identify any known occurrences of federally listed species within one mile of the project site; however, a Managed Area is within a 1-mile radius. The area, associated with the Falling Creek Mitigation Parcel, is managed by Unique Places to Save. Multiple site visits have occurred over the past 18 months observing site conditions, habitat, and potential presence of species. No species, suitable habitat, or critical habitats were observed within the project boundaries resulting in a "no effect" determination for subject species. Additionally, no eagles, eagle nests, nor American kestrels were observed, and construction activities will occur outside the window for the potential presence of the migrating American Kestrel and breeding time for local birds. The USFWS Self -Certification Letter, dated June 10, 2022, has been submitted to the Raleigh Field Office requesting comment from USFWS. A response was not received from the USFWS within the 45-day response period. All of the letters and responses have been included in the Appendix D. Table 6 summarizes the threatened and endangered species evaluation. Table 6: Federally Listed Species Scientific Name Picoides borealis Red cockaded Woodpecker Endangered No Necturus lewisi Neuse River Waterdog Threatened No Noturus furiosus Carolina Madtom Endangered No Danaus plexippus Monarch Butterfly Candidate No 2.8 Cultural Resources The National Historic Preservation Act declares a national policy of historic preservation to protect, rehabilitate, restore, and reuse districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects significant in American architecture, history, archaeology and culture. Section 106 mandates that federal agencies take into account the effect that a project may have on a property that is included in or is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The NC State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) online mapping resource was reviewed to determine the presence of known historic resources at or near the project site. According to the database, there are no known historical resources within the project site. The Littleton House (WY0384) is the closest resource which is located 2.3 miles from the project site. The Littleton House is classified as a "Survey Only" site and will not be disturbed for the proposed project. A letter was submitted to SHPO on May 19, 2022, requesting review and comment. SHPO responded on June 15, 2022 indicating that they were not aware of any historic resources that would be affected by the project. Both letters are included in the Appendix D. '`� Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset Plan 6 ecc erra HUC 03020201 September 2022 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site 2.9 FEMA Floodplain and Permitting Compliance The Parcel is not located within the 100-year floodplain and will not require FEMA coordination nor a floodplain development permit. Neither grading activities nor hydraulic modeling are proposed for this project. The project will not encroach on the NCDOT right-of-way along McArthur Pond Road. There are no other known easements at or near the project site that would prevent project implementation. 2.10 Parcel Constraints and Access The Parcel can be accessed via a driveway off McArthur Pond Road and a farm field path for long- term access and site maintenance and monitoring. There is a 30-inch reinforced concrete pipe culvert on UT3 within the Parcel near the project's downstream terminus. This buried culvert provides the landowner with access to cross the stream and will remain in place. There are no other known constraints on the proposed project Parcel. 2.11 Other Environmental Conditions A site assessment was conducted by Environmental Data Resources (EDR) to comply with standards set forth by EPA, ASTM and other environmental due diligence requests to evaluate environmental risk for the Parcel. The EDR report, May 24, 2022, determined the site was not located in any Federal, State or Tribal environmental databases and there were no known, potentially hazardous, waste sites within or immediately adjacent to the project site. The EDR report is provided in Appendix E. 3.0 Site Protection Instrument and Long-term Management The land required to plant and restore the riparian buffer, access the conservation easement, and manage the mitigation project includes 24.7 acres of the Parcel listed in Table 7. The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved NCDWR long-term stewardship entity, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation easement. The long-term trustee and manager will be responsible for the periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure the conservation easement is upheld and the land is protected in perpetuity.

The project will not have any adverse impacts to existing stream and water conveyances. 4.1 Parcel Preparation The land proposed for buffer restoration is currently in agricultural row crop production, therefore the site preparation will require minimal soil disturbance. Soil fertility will be assessed to determine any site soil deficiencies prior to plant establishment. Planting will occur using mechanical and manual methods. Soil ripping will occur in the mechanically planted rows to break up plow pans and compacted soils. Additional site preparation such as ripping and disking will occur within farm paths proposed for planting. Appropriate pre -emergent herbicide will be applied by a licensed NC pesticide applicator in the tree rows to control potential herbaceous weed competition. Additional herbicide will be applied within the planting rows during the post -planting phase for at least the first three years as needed and approved by NCDWR. Any invasive plants will be controlled mechanically and chemically. The fields within the project area contain limited number of invasive plants and herbicide will only be sprayed in areas where there is an existing population of non-native invasive plant species. Areas immediately adjacent to the top of streambanks will not be ripped to prevent soil erosion and runoff from entering the surface water. Non-native invasive species are present and will be removed during planting to minimize potential for competition with target vegetative communities. As noted in the NCDWR Site Viability Assessment letter, there is an area of concrete debris that exists along the forested area to be preserved that will be removed and stabilized. Planting rows will be approximately aligned to follow the existing contours to impede overland flow and prevent erosion. Sediment and erosion control measures may be utilized, if necessary, in all areas with existing rills and unstable banks, as well as areas prone to erosion, to prevent stormwater runoff from entering surface waters during construction. Minor bank/riparian stabilization and grading will be provided where erosional rills, sink holes and gullies are observed. No DEMLR nor local County permits are anticipated for stabilizing compromised areas. An appropriate temporary seed mix will be applied, as necessary, to provide temporary ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events in areas without existing herbaceous cover. 4.2 Restoration Activities The planting plan for the buffer restoration area includes restoring native tree species with bare root seedlings and seeding to convert the active farming area to a vegetated riparian corridor. Trees will be planted with a density sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 of 260 trees per acre at the end of five years. Initial planting densities will be between approximately 726 trees per acre (6-foot by 10-foot spacing). At least four tree/shrub species will be planted within each planting zone. All species will be well mixed to —00 Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset Plan 8 ecc erra HUC 03020201 September 2022 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site ensure adequate distribution across the planting areas. The Parcel's buffer areas will be re - vegetated with species consistent of those identified during the reference survey and additional species suggested by Schafale (2012) for the Mesic Mixed Forest and Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp (blackwater subtype) Forest communities. Target community tree species are shown in Table 8. An appropriate permanent seed mixture will be planted that may include species beneficial to pollinators or species that act as larval hosts for pollinators such as butterflies (e.g. big bluestem). Seeding will not be applied to areas with an existing native herbaceous layer. Planting will occur in the dormant season between November 15 and March 15.

Failure to submit written notification within 30 days may result in a modified credit release schedule or a delay in the issuance of credit releases. An as -built report will be submitted to NCDWR, following the restoration planting, to document the mitigation work plan to date. 5.0 Maintenance and Monitoring Plan The maintenance and monitoring plan has been developed to demonstrate required performance standards and success criteria are met and project goals and objectives are achieved. 5.1 Performance Standards The performance standards for the proposed project follow approved criteria presented in the Consolidated Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295). Annual monitoring and semi-annual site visits will be conducted to assess the condition of the finished project. Performance standards will be evaluated throughout the five-year post -construction monitoring period and summarized annually in a monitoring report. This annual report shall provide project data and chronicle issues that arise during the five-year monitoring period. The Sponsor shall submit annual monitoring reports to NCDWR by December 31st of each year for at least 5 consecutive years until project close-out and will follow the terms and conditions of the Britt & Hales MBI. 5.2 Monitoring Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be established and assessed within the buffer restoration areas to document the survival and vigor of the planted trees. A total of 18 plots that are 10 meters by 10 meters each will be randomly established within the planted restoration areas to document tree survival (Figure 7). The number of plots represent two percent of the total mitigation area. The Consolidated Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0295) requires survival of at least 260 stems per acre at the end of the five-year monitoring period. Vegetation monitoring will follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) — NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). The vegetation plots will be photographed each year with an additional seven photographs (25 total) taken to document project condition and easement integrity. All photos will be taken at the same location and orientation each year. Plots will be demarcated with durable PVC or metal markers and flagging during the monitoring period. Visual assessments will be performed twice a year during the five-year monitoring period. Areas of concern, low stem density, invasive species or easement encroachment, will be mapped, photographed and described in the monitoring report. Problem areas will be re-evaluated during subsequent site visits. Table 9 summarizes the proposed monitoring plan components associated with this project. —`� Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset Plan 10 ecolterra HUC 03020201 September 2022 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site Table 9: Monitoring Plan Components Success Criteria Mon' • • Protocol Reach Quantity Vegetation CVS Level I/Photos All 18 Annual Reference Stations Photos All 7 Annual Visual Assessments Visual Assessment/Photos All As needed Semi-annual The first growing period will be documented in the first annual report to be completed at least 5 months after planting has occurred and no earlier than the fall season. Species composition, height and survival rates will be assessed for each monitoring plot and included in the annual report. Upon NCDWR approval, desirable native volunteer species may be included in the overall tree density for the Parcel to meet performance standards and success criteria. 5.3 Parcel Maintenance Actions will be taken to correct issues identified in the annual monitoring reports that jeopardize the success of the project such as tree survival and easement encroachment. Parcel maintenance activities will be included in annual reports. As noted in the Parcel Preparation section, effective herbicide application is critical to success of restoration areas, primarily historical agricultural land. Herbicides approved for aquatic environments will be applied as necessary and in accordance with the NCDA rules and regulations by a qualified NC licensed pesticide/herbicide applicator. Prior approval from NCDWR is required if mowing within Zones 1 and 2 of the Neuse River basin buffers is deemed necessary. 5.4 Parcel Boundary Maintenance Conservation easement boundaries will be clearly marked with fencing, posts, paint or other permanent material and will include appropriate contact information on the boundaries. Established boundaries between the easement and the remaining parcel in agriculture will ensure project protection and prevent encroachment. Boundary installation will occur immediately after planting is completed and prior to the as -built survey. Boundary markers incidentally destroyed, damaged or disturbed will be repaired and/or replaced as needed during the monitoring period and in the future under the long-term trustee management. All easement boundaries will be visually assessed twice per year as part of the monitoring protocol. Any easement encroachment or performed maintenance will be documented in the annual monitoring reports. 6.0 Financial Assurances 6.1 Performance and Maintenance Bonds Following approval of the Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Plan, the Sponsor shall provide a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best. The performance bond amount shall be 100 percent of the estimated cost for implementation of the project as described in the Mitigation Plan, but not less than $150,000. In lieu of posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit release. Under the latter option, a performance bond is not necessary. Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset Plan ecciterra HUC 03020201 11 September 2022 Eco Terra, LLC I Britt & Hales Riparian Buffer Mitigation Site After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be secured for 100 percent of the estimated cost to implement the maintenance and monitoring plan for a 1-year term and will be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring. Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next year's monitoring period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with each annual monitoring report (when applicable). NCDWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of bond renewals. 7.0 Determination of Credits and Credit Release 7.1 Credit Potential The potential project credits are based on the top of bank of the three unnamed tributaries (UT1, UT2 and UT3) and three agricultural ditches (Ditch Al, B1 and B2). All areas within 200-linear feet landward of the top of bank will be planted and accounted as either riparian buffer credit or nutrient offset credit. Refer to Figure 8 for a depiction of the proposed buffer credit areas and Figure 9 for an illustration of the corresponding riparian buffer zones for the Parcel. Of the 336,240 sf of riparian restoration on this Parcel, 336,240 sf is located adjacent to the streams (UT1, UT2 and UT3) within the first 100 feet from the top of bank and can be used for either Riparian Buffer Credits or Nutrient Offset Credits, but not both. Credits for this area can be converted upon receiving written approval by NCDWR. 632,140 sf is located within the 101 to 200-foot offset from the stream top of bank and from the top of bank to 200 feet along the ditches. This restoration area is viable for Nutrient Offset Credits and cannot be converted and transferred into Riparian Buffer Credits in accordance with the MBI. Additionally, there is an 8,172- sf preservation area adjacent to UT1 that will provide Riparian Buffer Credits. The Parcel will generate a total of 337,656.784 credits from the 344,412 sf Riparian Buffer restoration and preservation and 32,985.910 Nutrient Offset Credits from the 632,140 sf of Nutrient Offset mitigation. The project's credit potential is summarized in Table 10. In accordance with the MBI, any credit conversions will be calculated using the guidance provided in the Clarified Procedures for Calculating Buffer Mitigation Credits and Nutrient Offset Credits letter issued by the NCDWR 7.2 Credit Release Upon submittal of the appropriate documentation by the Sponsor and subsequent approval by NCDWR, the riparian buffer and nutrient credits associated with the Britt & Hales Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel will be released as described in the approved MBI.

The enclosed map(s) depict the feature(s) evaluated and this information is also summarized in the table below. Streams were evaluated for being ephemeral, at least intermittent, and for subjectivity to the Neuse River Basin Riparian Area Protection Rules. Streams that are considered "Subject" have been located on the most recently published County NRCS Soil Survey 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, not present on the property, or not depicted on the required maps. This determination only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules within the proposed easement 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 appear or 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 observed and rated during the DWR site visit. See the attached site map for the labeled features. flE Qel iniiF n.�U t. aroYMny er MwwnmW Ch .1,4 North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources 512 North Salisbury Street 11617 Mail Service Center 1 Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 919.707.9000 LJUL:UJIL,.I I CIIVCIulie ILJ.

Olive NC Neuse 03020201 Wayne County Dear Mr. Burbage, On April 27, 2022, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request from you on behalf of EcoTerra Partners, LLC (EcoTerra) 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 adjacent to features within a proposed conservation easement boundary, which are more accurately depicted in the attached maps labeled "Figure 1" and "Figure 2" prepared by EcoTerra and edited by DWR. The proposed easement boundary includes all riparian areas intended to be proposed as part of the mitigation site. On May 19, 2022, Ms. Merritt performed a site assessment of the subject site. Staff with EcoTerra were also present. 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) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0703.

Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule. 3NC Division of Water Resources - Methodology and Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer Establishment 4Determinations made for this Site are determined based on the proposal provided in maps and figures submitted with the request. 5 All features proposed for buffer mitigation or nutrient offset, must have a planted conservation easement established that includes the tops of channel banks when being measured perpendicular and landward from the banks, even if no credit is viable within that riparian area. 6The area of the mitigation site on ephemeral channels shall comprise no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer mitigation per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(7). 7The area described as an Enhancement Site was assessed and determined to comply with all of 15A NCAC 02B .0295(o)(6). Cattle exclusion fencing is required to be installed around the mitigation area to get buffer credit under this part of the rule. Determinations provided in the table above were made using a proposed easement boundary showing proposed mitigation areas and features shown in Figure 2 and Figure 1 respectively. The map representing the proposal for the site is attached to this letter and initialed by Ms. Merritt on June 15, 2022. 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.

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.). If your project area contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys should be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys. 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. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered 06/06/2022 2 species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures see hops://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to- birds.php. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/ executive-orders/e0-13186. php. 06/06/2022 3 We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office. Attachment(s): • Official Species List • Migratory Birds 06/06/2022 1 Official Species List This list is provided pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, and fulfills the requirement for Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary of the Interior information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of a proposed action".

The proposed project will provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in the Neuse River Basin. The project involves the restoration and preservation of riparian buffers along two unnamed tributaries and three ditches that flow to Falling Creek. Land disturbing activities include site preparation for planting trees to enhance the vegetative buffer up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches within the approximate 24.7-acre project easement. The project area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row crops. Historical land use has been agriculture for the past 70 years according to historical USDA aerials. The project site will be permanently protected and preserved with a conservation easement that will ultimately be transferred to a land trust for long-term stewardship. Project Location: Approximate location of the project can be viewed in Google Maps: https:// www.google.com/maps/@35.255153500000006,-78.16481822980536,14z Counties: Wayne County, North Carolina 06/06/2022 3 Endangered Species Act Species There is a total of 4 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list. Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species list because a project could affect downstream species. IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheriesl, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the Department of Commerce. See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office if you have questions. 1.

Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below. 1. The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918. 2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940. 3. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a) The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact locations of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your migratory bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be found below. For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures to reduce impacts to migratory birds on your list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY at the top of your list to see when these birds are most likely to be present and breeding in your project area. NAME BREEDING SEASON American Kestrel Falco sparverius paulus This is a Bird of Conservation Concern (BCC) only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp/species/9587 Breeds Apr 1 to Aug 31 Probability Of Presence Summary The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. 06/06/2022 2 Probability of Presence (■) Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: 1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. Breeding Season ( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort (I) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. No Data (—) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. probability of presence breeding season I survey effort — no data 06/06/2022 3 SPECIES JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC American Kestrel BCC - BCR ---- ---- ----11111111111111111111---- ---- ■I III ------I Additional information can be found using the following links: • Birds of Conservation Concern https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-birds/species • Measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts to birds https://www.fws.gov/library/ collections/avoiding-and-minimizing-incidental-take-migratory-birds • Nationwide conservation measures for birds hops://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/ documents/nationwide-standard-conservation-measures.pdf Migratory Birds FAQ Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds. Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? 06/06/2022 4 The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets . Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. 06/06/2022 5 Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page. 06/06/2022 6 IPaC User Contact Information Agency: McAdams Name: Kerry Bray Address: 2905 Meridian Parkway City: Durham State: NC Zip: 27713 Email bray@mcadamsco.com Phone: 9192870812 United States Department of the Interior Project Name FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Raleigh Field Office P.O.

In this document, effects are broken down as direct interactions (something happening directly to the species) or indirect interactions (something happening to the environment on which a species depends that could then result in effects to the species). These interactions encompass effects that occur both during project construction and those which could be ongoing after the project is finished. All effects, however, should be considered, including effects from direct and indirect interactions and cumulative effects. 2.1 Carolina Madtom This species has been excluded from analysis in this environmental review document. Relevant documentation Scott Frederick (Scientist) conducted the survey and analysis to determine the presence of the Carolina Madtom and suitable habitat within the project bounds. Downstream suitable habitat (if present) will be protected through careful site construction and stringent E&SC if necessary for site construction. Justification for exclusion No species or suitable habitat present. 2.2 Monarch Butterfly This species has been excluded from analysis in this environmental review document.

Reid Wilson, Secretary Misty Buchanan Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program NCNHDE-18092 The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above. Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. 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 found within the project area or is 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: https://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. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally - listed species are documented near the project area. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler@a ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.

The project information is summarized below. Project Name: Britt and Hales Buffer Mitigation Site Project Location: 145 McArthur Pond Rd Mount Olive, North Carolina 28365 Wayne County 35.254653, -78.164589 Project Contact: Project Description: Scott J. Frederick Eco Terra, LLC 117 Centrewest Court Cary, NC 27513 919.368.2029 Scott@ecoterra.com The Britt and Hales Buffer Mitigation Site is located near Mount Olive, NC, in the Upper Falling Creek watershed of the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201). The proposed project will provide riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation in the Neuse River Basin. The project involves the restoration and preservation of riparian buffers along two unnamed tributaries and three ditches that flow to Falling Creek. Land disturbing activities include site preparation for planting trees to enhance the vegetative buffer up to 200 feet from the streams and ditches within the approximate 24.7-acre project easement. The 1328 Dekalb Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 I EcoTerra.com ecokterro® project area and surrounding areas are open agricultural land, primarily farmed for row crops. Historical land use has been agriculture for the past 70 years according to historical USDA aerials. The project site will be permanently protected and preserved with a conservation easement that will ultimately be transferred to a land trust for long- term stewardship. The NC State Historic Preservation Office's online mapping resource was reviewed to determine the presence of known historic resources at or near the project site. According to the database, there are no known historical resources within the project site. The Littleton House (WY0384) is the closest resource which is located 2.3 miles from the project site. The Littleton House is classified as a "Survey Only" site and will not be disturbed for the proposed project. Project Area Map: See attached Figures 1 and 2 Site Photographs: See attached We are requesting that you review the project site to determine if any historic resources are present within the proposed conservation easement as shown in the attached Figures 1 and 2. If you should have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (919) 368-2029. Sincerely, My .7;44 Scott J.

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. TC6992408.2s 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.
