The Bank Site is located in the Flat River Township in the south central section of Person County, North Carolina, approximately 8.6 miles southwest of the City of Roxboro, North Carolina, and approximately 14 miles northeast of the Town of Hillsborough (Figure 1). More specifically, the Site is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of John Rogers Road and Terry Road and approximately 0. 15 miles west of the intersection of John Rogers Road and Berry Pearce Road. The Bank Site is being developed in two (2) phases: Phase 1 and Phase 2. Figures 2.1 through 2.4 (Appendix A) depict Phase 1. Phase 1 consists of 16.34 acres and is located along the western, southern, and eastern portions of the Bank Site. Phase 2 consists of + 3.97 acres and is located on the northwestern portion of the Bank Site. Figure 2A (Appendix A) is provided to illustrate the constructed Phase I Conservation Easement compared to the approved Hatley Bank Site Bank Parcel Development Package (EcoEngineering, October 2012). Future construction within the Bank Site will be consistent with the previously approved Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP). The purpose of this Bank Site is to improve water quality within the Neuse River watershed, specifically the Falls Lake watershed, by providing off -site mitigation for development (both existing and proposed) requiring stream buffer mitigation and nutrient offset credits. The Conservation Easement (CE) for Phase I of the Bank Site is 16.34 acres (711,770.4 sf). Within the 16.34 acre CE, the total area dedicated to Neuse Riparian Buffer Credits is 8.3 acres (361,549 sf) and the total area dedicated to Nutrient Offset (nitrogen and phosphorus) Credits is 7.38 acres (321,473 sf). The Bank Site is located within the Upper Falls Lake watershed in the Neuse River Basin (8- digit USGS HUC 03020201, 12 -digit USGS HUC 030202010102), more specifically within Neuse Sub -basin 03- 04 -01. Sto er bunoff from this site drains into South Flat River (Stream Index #27 -3 -3) and int 2 `t s unnamed tributaries. According to the Basinwide Information Management System IMS), South Flat River is classified as Water Supply III (WS -III) and NSW (Nutrient Sensitive Waters). This Bank Site will be established under the terms and conditions of the EBX Upper Neuse Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Bank), signed on February 10, 2012, made and entered into by Environmental Banc and Exchange, LLC (EBX), acting as the Bank Sponsor (Sponsor), and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Division of Water Quality (DWQ). The Division of Water Quality is now hereby referred to as Division of Water Resources (DWR). 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives The goals of this nutrient offset mitigation project are to: Improve the overall water quality and aquatic habitat in and around the unnamed tributary of the Neuse River by reducing nutrient and sediment loads into the streams caused by agricultural influences, Improve the richness and diversity of the plant species within the conservation easement, and Provide perpetual protection for the unnamed tributary to the Neuse River and associated riparian and upland buffers These goals will be met through the 'following objectives: - By establishing a native plant community to match the endemic plant species at the Bank Site, - By reducing the quantities of exotic invasive species at the Bank Site through chemical methods, - By establishing a conservation easement to provide long -term protection for the Bank Site,, and - By donation of the conservation easement and all of its interests, in perpetuity, to an accredited ,or approved land trust or stewardship program. 2.0 Vegetation Condition and Comparison J Current stem counts (i.e. stem is defined as a single living tree) were calculated using vegetation plot monitoring data. Within Neuse buffer and nutrient offset restoration areas, success will be defined as the survival of a minimum density of 320 planted trees per acre after five (5) years. Within Neuse buffer enhancement areas, success criteria will be based on a minimum of at least two tree species at an average density of 320 planted trees per acre following five, (5) years of monitoring. As of - Monitoring Year 2, the Bank Parcel had four (4) plots encompassing 0.0988 acres, containing 63 planted stems, 'which yielded a density of 637 planted stems per acre. Monitoring Year 2 field activities were conducted on August 26, 2013. The planted vegetation survival threshold was met for plots 1, 2, and 4. Plot 3 had a planted stem density of 283 stems per acre. Summary tables of the data collected are provided in Appendix B. 3.0 Methodology 3.1 Vegetation Monitoring Plots, Baseline vegetation monitoring was conducted in accordance to CVS -EEP Protocol for Recording Ve etation (CVS -EEP, v4.2). All monitoring methodologies follow the most current templates and guidelines provided by EEP (EEP, 2010; EEP, 2011). All four (4) vegetation plots installed by McAdams were located in Monitoring Year 2. Figures 3.1 through 3.4 (Appendix A) depict location of the vegetation plots. Table 1 (Appendix B) provides a success summary for each vegetation monitoring plot. Based on the vegetation monitoring, three (3) of the four (4) vegetation monitoring plots were above the five (5) year monitoring period requirement. Table 2 (Appendix B) provides a stem count total, and planted stem total by each individual vegetation plot. Table 3 (Appendix B) provides a summary of only planted stem counts asp compared to planted stem counts of the As Built. During Monitoring Year 2 field investigations, it was determined that Vegetation Plot 3 did not meet the vegetation threshold of 320 trees per acre. Therefore, replanting within the area of Vegetation Plot 3 will occur sometime between the months of November 2014 and April 20,15. Vegetation monitoring plots were photographed and are located in Appendix C. Vegetation Monitoring Plot Data Sheets are provided in Appendix D. Each Vegetation Monitoring Plot Data Sheet provides measurements, location, and vigor of each planted species within a respective vegetation monitoring plot. 2 -�4-, 3.2 Photo Stations Photo documentation is essential to monitoring the success the Bank Parcel. Photo's provide a visual assessment of the vegetation conditions, All four (4) photo stations installed by McAdams were located -in Monitoring Year 2. Figures 3.1 through 3.4 (Appendix A) depict location of the photo stations. Photographs were taken at high resolution using an Olympus FE -115 5:0 megapixel digital camera. The location& of the photo stations are depicted in the Monitoring Year 2 Exhibit (Appendix A, Figure 2). Photographs for the photo stations are located in Appendix E. 3 4.0 References EcoEngineering, — A division ,of The John R. McAdams Company, Inc. October-, 2012.
