The Parcel was designed in concurrence with the Cane Creek Umbrella Mitigation Bank: Bethel Branch Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank (SAW# 2016-02365). The Chatham County project surrounds three unnamed tributaries which drain to South Fork Cane Creek, Cane Creek, and eventually to the Haw River. The Parcel location is depicted in Figure 1. The purpose of the Parcel is to provide riparian buffer mitigation credits to compensate for unavoidable buffer impacts in the 03030002 Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) of the Cape Fear River Basin, within the Haw River Sub-watershed of the Jordan Lake Watershed (Figure 2). Prior to construction, the Parcel had been mostly used for livestock grazing with small portions maintained as managed herbaceous cover since before 1993. The livestock pastures were dominated by fescue grasses (Festuca spp.) and although much of the riparian area on UT2 was wooded, livestock had access to the streams throughout. Riparian buffers and other riparian areas adjacent to mitigated streams onsite were restored and livestock was fenced out in order to help reduce non-point source contaminant discharges to downstream waters in the Jordan Lake Watershed within the Cape Fear River Basin. Approximately 16.30 acres are now protected with a permanent conservation easement. Of the 16.30 acres, 10.86 acres were mitigated to generate Jordan Lake riparian buffer credit. Of those 10.86 acres, 3.44 acres qualify for buffer restoration, 4.87 acres for enhancement (via livestock exclusion), and 2.55 acres for buffer preservation (Figure 3). Riparian area widths are a minimum of 30 feet from the top of stream banks out to a maximum of 60 feet. Together these activities have generated 266,899.400 ft² of riparian buffer mitigation credits after applying the appropriate credit reductions and ratios. 1.2 Bank Sponsor The Bethel Branch Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel is a part of the Bank. The Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) for the Bank was signed in March 2018.

No major adjustments were made during construction that would drastically affect the Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel. Due to a survey error some adjustments were made to the conservation easement boundaries, but the total acreage remains the same. The Umbrella Mitigation Banking Instrument (UMBI) for the Bank and the Bank Parcel Development Plan (BPDP) were approved in March and November of 2018. Project reporting history dates can be found in Table 1 below. Bethel Branch Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 2 Monitoring Year 4 Report Table 1.

Of the 16.30 acres, a total of 10.86 acres of riparian areas have been mitigated to generate Jordan Lake riparian buffer credit. Credit generation is shown in Figure 3 and the current credit ledger is in Appendix B. All areas of the conservation easement were fenced using woven wire fencing and barbed wire to prevent encroachment by livestock. The pond and earthen dam at the upstream end of UT3 were removed and the stream channel was fully restored as a part of the Bethel Branch stream and wetland mitigation bank. The buffer restoration areas were replanted with appropriate native tree species within the project corridors. The revegetation plan included permanent seeding, planting of bare root trees, live stakes, herbaceous plugs, and controlling invasive species growth. Bare root trees selected for planting were native bottomland hardwood species typical for Piedmont Bottomland Forest communities as defined by Schafale (2012). Tree species selected, as well as size specifications, planting density, and plant composition are detailed in Table 2.

Vegetative success criteria arebased upon guidelines set forth in the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015). Success is defined as a minimum of 260 live stems per acre at the end of the 5-year monitoring period with a minimum of four native hardwood species, where no one species comprises more than 50 percent of stems. Height, DBH, and visual assessment of damage and vigor will be used as indicators of overall health. Desirable volunteer species may be included to meet the success criteria upon NCDWR approval. If vegetative success criteria are not achieved based on acreage density calculations from combined monitoring plots over the entire restoration area, or if an inspection of a buffer restoration site indicates that portions of the Parcel do not have sufficient stem densities or are otherwise deficient, supplemental planting shall be performed with tree species approved by NCDWR. Supplemental Bethel Branch Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 4 Monitoring Year 4 Report planting shall be performed as needed until vegetative success criteria are met. No quantitative measurements of herb assemblages will be required to meet the vegetative success criteria. 2.2 Description of Species and Monitoring Protocol The quantity of monitoring plots was determined in accordance with the Carolina Vegetative Sampling (CVS) Protocols (Levels I & II) such that at least 2 percent of the restoration area is encompassed in monitoring plots. Two 10-meter by 10-meter and one 5-meter by 20-meter vegetation monitoring plots were installed within the buffer restoration area to measure the survival of the planted trees (Figure 4). GPS points were taken, and PVC pipe was used to mark the four corners of each plot. Each year a reference photo is taken from the southwest corner of each plot. All planted stems within the plots were marked with flagging tape and recorded. The total number of each tree species planted within the monitoring plots, as well as planting density and composition at as-built are included in Table 4 for comparison purposes. No planting was required in livestock exclusion or preservation areas, however visual assessments are conducted each year and any issues identified will be photographed, corrected, and reported as part of the annual monitoring report.

Reference photos taken from the southwest corner of each plot can be found in Appendix D along with the stem count raw data. The total number of each tree species planted within the monitoring plots, as well as planting density and composition, for Monitoring Year 4 are detailed in Table 5 below. Vegetation result tables with planted stem density, stem count by plot and species, as well as a vegetation plot success summary are available in Appendix C. Vegetation monitoring at Year 4 resulted in an average planted stem density of 364 planted stems per acre, which exceeds the final requirement of 260 stems per acre. All plots have 5 planted species per plot. Volunteer stems include desirable species, such as black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), black walnut, (Juglans nigra) and an elm species (Ulmus spp.).

In July of Monitoring Year 4, resprouts of small populations of tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) along UT2 in the buffer preservation area and resprouts of scattered populations of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) along UT1 received follow up treatments. Both were treated using glyphosate in a cut stump herbicide application. The percent cover of vegetation in the previously bare area along the downstream left side of UT3 continues to increase each year. Herbaceous vegetation is present and the hillslope is stable, as illustrated in the last overview photograph in Appendix E. This photograph shows the vegetation establishment in the old pond bed with UT3 flowing from right to left. Additionally, soil amendments were added to the base of the trees along sections of UT2 to help them outcompete thick herbaceous vegetation. Wildlands will continue to monitor the health of planted stems throughout the project. Specific actions being taken to address the issues mentioned above are included in section 2.4 below. 2.4 Parcel Adaptive Management Adaptive measures will be developed, or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented in the event that the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in the BPDP. Parcel maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have a high likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include but are not limited to; excess tree mortality caused by fire, flooding, drought, easement encroachment, or insects. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. Lingering sporadic invasive species will be treated using various methods of herbicide application including foliar, cut stump, hack and squirt, and stem injection. Because of their persistent nature, the Bethel Branch Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel Page 6 Monitoring Year 4 Report small populations of tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) will receive an additional treatment via cut stump and basal bark application in the winter of 2022/2023. Wildlands will continue to monitor invasive species and treat them, as necessary. Soil amendments and/or ring sprays will be applied around tree stems as necessary to help them outcompete thick herbaceous vegetation. 2.5 Conclusions Vegetation across the Parcel is exceeding performance standards. Monitoring Year 4 data shows an average planted stem density of 364 planted stems per acre across vegetation plots. When including volunteer species, the stem density increases to 701 stems per acre. The Parcel is on track to achieve the final success criteria of 260 stems per acre at the end of Monitoring Year 5. In addition, desirable volunteer species, such as black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), black walnut, (Juglans nigra) and an elm species (Ulmus spp.) are establishing themselves. Wildlands will continue to monitor planted tree stem health as well as invasive species and treat them as necessary. 3.0REFERENCES Lee, M.T., Peet, R.K., Steven D., & Wentworth, T.R. (2008).
