1.0INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
The Bethel Branch Buffer Mitigation Bank Parcel (Parcel) is part of the Wildlands Holdings IV, LLC
(Sponsor) Cane Creek Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Bank (Bank). 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.

1.3 Project History
The construction of the Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank was completed in April 2019. 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.

Spring Road for 8.1 miles. Turn right onto Silk Hope-Lindley Mill Road and continue for 2.9 miles. Turn
left onto Moon Lindley Road and continue for 0.6 miles. Turn right onto R E Wright Road and the project
area is accessible through the gate 0.1 miles on the left.
1.5 Project Design
Approximately 16.30 acres are now protected with a permanent conservation easement. 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.

2.0VEGETATION MONITORING
2.1 Success Criteria
Buffer vegetative success criteria are based upon the density and growth of Character Tree species, as
defined in Tables 2 & 3. 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.

2.3 Results of Vegetation Monitoring
The three vegetation plots were sampled in September 2022 at the end of the fourth growing season.
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.).

Visual assessments of the livestock exclusion and preservation areas within the conservation easement
concluded:
Fencing is in good condition throughout the site;
no livestock access within the conservation easement;
no encroachment has occurred;
diffuse flow is being maintained in the easement area; and
there has not been any cutting, clearing, filling, grading, or similar activities that would
negatively affect the function of the buffer.
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.
